THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.

APPLICATION TO THE VICE.CHA.NCELLOR—
(THIS DAY.)
This afternoon Mr. 'Myld, and several other gentle-
men, forming a deputation from the depositors in the
Royal British Bank, waited upon Vice-Chancellor Kin-
dersley, at his Court in Lineolif.-inn, for the purpose of
presenting to him the following memorial:—
" London, 18th November, 1856.
" To his Honour the Vice• Chancellor Kindersley.
" Sir,—We the undersigned, being the Committee of
Depositors in the Royal British Bank, appointed at a gene-
ral public meeting, venture respectfully to bring to your
Honour's attention the destitute condition of a
large number of the depositors to whom an imme-
diate distribution -of the available assets of the
bank is of the most serious importance. The interests of so
many thousands of sutlering creditors are involved that we
have no hesitation in requesting your honour to postpone
the consideration of the general or routine business of your
court in order that you may be enabled to pronounce
immediate judgment upon the questions before
you, the effect of which will be the speedy distribution of
the available assets.
"We do not pretend to express any opinion upon those
questions, but the committee are naturally anxious
that the interests of those whom they represent,
and so many of whom are really in a state of
destitution, should for a time take precedence of ordinary
business. The fearful consequences of delay and the mag-
nitude of the calamity which has befallen so many of the
industrious classes must plead our excuse for thus some-
what irregularly trespassing upon your Honour's atten-
tion. . .

\Vo have the honour to remain, sir,
" JAmas WILD, Chairman.
" JOHN Itonuirrs. .12.11 ES G. WAKLEY.
" RICHARDSON. BENJAIIIN -FORSTER.'
" GEo. JAS. " 11. S. GILLING.
" PETER BROWN. "'ALFRED For.K.E3."
Mr. Wyld pointed out in a short, but very effective
address, the state of misery, destitution, and suffericc,rs
which the depositors were aperiencing from the con-
tinued postponement cf his Honour's judgment, and
urged that he would recive and act upon the memorial
which they desired to pre.seut.
The Vice-Chancellor said be could nut receive the
memorial, which must conic through the ordinary chan-
nels of the eourt. In this ease he could not pronounce a
rash and hasty juhuient, but he would bring the pro-
ceedings to a close with as little delay as possible.
Mr. Wyld again urged upon the •VicM.;naneellor to
receive the inommial, which, however, he declined to
do, and the deputation then retired.
The fact of a non-professional advocacy of such a case
in a chancery court created much excitement up•in the
legal gentlemen who were in attemiance, a feeling which
also seemed to be shared in by the bench.
