the English language, this being the first time I hare
addressed an English assemblage.
The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, I think we are yr

eery
much indebted to Mr. LEWINE for the manner in which
he has expressed himself, especially as he has nut spoken
in his native tongue ; but I allude more particularly to
the sentiments he has expressed. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. LATHAM, in an eloquent and complimentary
speech, proposed the ninth resolution, as follows :
" That the thanks of the meeting are due to the medical
officers of the company in London and the provinces,
and that the name of Dr. Guterbock, of Berlin, be in-
cluded in this resolution."
Mr. Horcnorr seconded the motion, which was car-
ried unanimously.
Mr. BISEOP returned thanks, and assured the meeting
that the medical officers faithfully discharged their
duties for the welfare and security of the institution.
Mr. LEWINE acknowledged the compliment on the part
of Dr. Guterbock and the other medical officers at
Berlin.

Dr. AIRES also replied to the vote to the medical
officers.

The CHAIRMAN moved the tenth resolution, as fol-
lows :—" That the thanks of the meeting are due, and are
hereby presented, to the local boards of the company." He
was happy to say they were represented in the provinces by
gentlemen of the highest character, wealth, and posi-
tion—men who took an active personal interest in the
company's affairs, and in whom the Central Board had
the greatest confidence. They were well supporting the
company's interests i❑ the respective cities and counties,
and he was delighted to offer this recognition of their
service,

Mr. CHANDLER seconded the motion. He came to the
meeting for the purpose of asking some questions, but
the report, balance-sheet, and the statements he had
heard were so satisfactory as to render it unnecessary.
(Hear, hear.)
The motion was agreed to unanimously.
Mr. WEBBER moved the eleventh resolution, as fol

lows :—" "J'hat the thanks of the meeting are due to the
company's agents, and that the name of Mr. George
Lewine, of 13,-rlin, be associated with this resolution."
Mr. EDWARDS seconded the motion, which Weis car-
ried unanimously.
Mr. LEWINE—Mr. Chairman and gentleman, as I
said before I am not accustomed to public speaking in
the English language, but still I can think more. I
am so much touched by what I have just heard from
our worthy director, Mr. Webber, that I am unable to
say more ; but I hope my worthy friend, Mr. Hoperoft,
will do the rest.

Mr. HOPCROFT returned thanks, and assured the
meeting that all were desirous of promoting the interest
of the society. It was based on sound principles, and
conducted by honourable men. (Hear.)
Mr. NICHOLASS moved the thanks of the meeting to
the chairman. (Applause.)
Mr. S. G. GRADY seconded the resolution. That
gentleman (the chairman) had on all occasions given
them entire satisfaction. (Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN having briefly acknowledged the corn•
pliment, _ _

The meeting, which was throughout of the most una-
nimous and satisfactory character, then terminated.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

Sittings in Banco before Lord Chief Justice Campbell,
Justices Coleridge, Erle, and Crompton.
BENNETT V. THOMPSON.

Mr. Boville, Q.C., showed cause against a rule ob
Pained in this case, calling on the defendant, the Sheriff

of Somerset, to refund a certain sum he had been paid
as fees for summoning a special jury. The question at
issue had been the subject of much contention between
the sheriffs of counties and London agents since the
passing of the Common Law Procedure Act, and the
fixing of the table of fees by the judges.
The Court said that the Sheriff ought to be paid for
his trouble, and especially for puffing in motion an ex-
traordinary part of the machinery of the law at the
request of a particular party. The question was, how
he should be paid—by the country, or by fees. It, no
doubt, was preferable by the former, though they by no
means went so far as to say that all fees were unjust. In
this case the Court thought that the Sheriff had no right
to demand the money he bad received, and they made
the rule absolute.

THE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OP THE BEV. W.

MARSHALL V. LLOYD.-LIBEL.

Mr. Sergeant Shee applied for a criminal information
against the defendant, the proprietor, printer, and pub-
lisher of a Welsh paper called the Ye Amserau, printed
at Liverpool, in the Welsh language, and circulated in
South \Vales. The applicant, the Rev. W. Marshall,
was ordained in 1539 as a Roman Catholic priost, and
was occupied in missions in and about London till 1849.
In the latter end of that year he was moved to rpswicb,
and at Christmas 1853 to the Abyravon and Bridgend
mission. The libel complained of was published on the
let of May, and after referring to the mission of the
rev, gentleman, and also that of tract delivering: by
young lades connected with the various other sects re•
in that neighbourhood, proceeded to charge m
with demoralising the town to a dreadful extent, C 3 a
deriliction of his pastoral duties, and that he had b een
seen in a peculiar position at night with a young la ,dye
one of his flock. The rev, gentleman, by his affids vits
denied most positively the assertions contained in the

libel, and that his conduct towards females had ever
been in accordance with the requirements of his posi-
tion as a person who bad been eduf;ated for and orda inej.
a Roman Catholic priest.
The Court granted the rule.
