Mr. Chatteris, the official liquidator of the Hum-
ber Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company (Li-
mited), has applied to the Master of the Rolls for
leave to divide the money now in hand, some
UO,OOO, among the creditors who had proved their
claims. After hearing all particulars, the Master
of the Rolls decided that the unrealised assets of
the company would be sufficient to meet any claim
the
assignees might establish, and he ordered the
olEcial liquidator at once to pay a dividend to the
Creditors of 65., making, with previous dividends,
123, 6d. in the pound. Notice of appeal against the
Order was given.
Discussion is again beginning to be raised on
the question of the purchase of the telegraphs by
the Government. The principle being adopted,
-
and a certain rule laid down, it will not be pos
sible for the Administration to recede from the
Principles of the contract. The Honourable
%ben Grimston in his address at the meeting
th
of the Electric and International Company on
e sth instant, pertinently remarked ,
To
illustrate more forcibly the fallacy of the argu-
tnellt of the Edinburgh Reviewer, financially
*Peaking will assume that Mr. Scudamore's
eetimate of £6,000,000 for the purchase of the
known
is the correct one. It is very well
"own that the Government would have no diffi-
culty in raising £6,000,000 at 3} per cent. per an-
411e1, which would amount to £210,000 a year.
Now I have only to refer you to the printed ac-
ants '3f this company, and of the British and Irish
3118gnetic Company, for the year ending 31st Dec.,
I,
net
68, to prove that these two companies alone show
profit available for dividend of £171,843
xta.BB. 11d, and £65,582 ss. 91 respectively, and
o:3_at these u two sums added together amount to
',426 Bd., a sum sufficient to meet the whole
_'`.t.he interest incurred in raising the £6,000,000
eesuti.rnated to be necessary for the purchese of the
telegraph
17ides leavin- system of the United Kingdom,
g a handsome surplus (some £27,000)
q". 47 of profit on the transaction.
44e report of the Anglo-Italian Bank (Limited)
tat%
844 it that the business for the past year has re-
ho ed in a net profit of £17,569.• Having regard,
viowerer, to the old contingencies mentioned in pre-
deetllB reports, the directors think it inexpedient to
1,4,, re a dividend on this occasion.

saw prisoner going down the street, accompanied by his
comrade. Prisoner had the umbrella in his hand, and
