JUDGES' CHAMBERS—(7his Day).

This morning the doors of the court of Vice-
Chancellor James were besieged at at early Eour by
parties anxious to gain admission to hear, what was
generally thought to be the case, the arguments of
counsel for and against the granting of a winding-
up order. Speculation was rife with respect to
the decision, and one person amongst the crowd
made himself conspicuous by his offer to purchase
any amount of shares, at the moderate rate of Is.
each prior to the decision of the Vice-Chancellor
being given.

On the doors being opened a great rush ensued,
and in a minute or two the court was crowded
almost to suffocation. As soon as the Vice-Chan-
cellor took his seat on the bench,
Mr. Kekewicb, counsel for Mr. R. Crawford,
the petitioner for the winding up, said be had to
apply to his lordship for an order on Mr. Lake, the
manager of the company, to produce the books
of the European Like Assurance in court.
It was necessary, he said, that the books
should be examined, in order that the
petitioner might be enabled to prove such a
case as would enable his lordship to grant his
order when that question should be raised before
him.

Mr. Glass strongly opposed the application,
which, he contended, was merely a fishing expedi-
tion, to enable the petitioner to get evidence,
which he could not do otherwise than by ransack-
ing the books of the company. The proceedings, he
said, were instigated by an organised party whose
aim and object was to breed a panic with respect to
life assurance companies, and thus ruin many
thousand persons. The court had no power to
order the production of the books and all such
applications as the present were purely against the
practice in proceedings relative to the winding up
of public companies. It was not the duty of any
set of persons to produce books for the inspection
of a hostile party to enable them to make out their
case.

Vice-Chancellor James said it appeared to him
that the information wanted was the amount of the
debts due to, and the assets of, the company. That
was the issue before him, and it was not material
at that time to go into questions of management.

Mr. Kekewich said all that was wanted was to
verify the statement that had been put forth by
the directors, and to see what was the exact amount
of the assets and liabilities.

Mr. Glass said every policy had been met by the
directors, and there had not been the slightest de-
fault on the part of the company, therefore he hoped
the order applied for would not be granted.
Mr. Kekewich said that the policies becoming
due were being met by the premiums as they were
paid in. The company was in fact living from
band to mouth.

The Vice-Chancellor said, after hearing the
whole of the arguments, he did not think that it
would be right for him to give the order asked for.
No such order had ever been made in that court,
and therefore it was not his desire to make a pre-
cedent, which would more than likely act very in-
conveniently. Ile should, under such circumstances,
make no order in the matter.

A long conversation then ensued with respect to
the fixing of a day when the principal question at
issue—namely, whether the company should, o
should not, be wound up—should be considered
Ultimately it was fixed that the matter should b
argued next Wednesday week.

FORGERY OF .£lo,ooo.—Albert Buckler was charged with
forgery, and uttering a bill of exchange for £1,857 upon
Messrs. G. and A. Worms, bankers, Austin Friars. The
prisoner was a clerk in the llungariaa Credit Bank, and
availing himself of his position he carried on this proceed-
ing until he had collected nearly £lO,OOO. Yesterday he
was apprehended in Cornhill. Upwards of £7,000 was
found upon him when lie was arrested. The prisoner was
remanded for a week.

menLBOLOUGLI-STREET.
"IT'S ALL RIGHT, SCOTTY."---William Cameron, uphol-
sterer, of No 71, Upper Marylebone-street, was charged
before Mr. Knox with agsaulting Henry Wells, a plumber,
of No. 39, ( harlton-street.

The Complainant said—At an early hour this morning
I was coming out of Cleveland-street into Marylebons-
street, eating walnuts at the time, when the prisoner said
something which I did not understand, and I said, "All
right, Scotty," and he then knocked me down and kicked
me so that I am hardly able to move.
Mr. Knox—Then all the provocation you gavo Lim was
calling him "Scotty."
_ _

Complainant (who had a bad black eye)—l should think
my eye is proof en ough.

Jessie Stickland, 91 E—l saw the complainant bleeding
from the nose, and with a swollen eye, and he charged
the prisoner with striking and kicking him. Both had
been drinking.

Prisoner—He called me "a -- Rootchman," and I
called him "a Jew," and on his seizing me by the
collar, I knocked him down, and I don't deny it.
Mr. Knox— I dare say that is true, but I think you
have used excessive violence. You had no right to thrash
him as you have done; you being a man capable of con-
tending with a dozen men like him. You will have to
pay 40s. or a month.
