The Globe Insurance Company are experiencing an
intestine war. A Committee of Consultation was ap-
pointed three months back, and these gentlemen having
refused, it is said, to consult or co-operate with the
directors, the latter have appealed to the proprietary at
large. The committee claim the power of calling for
books and papers, and summoning agents, surveyors,
and solicitors from Scotland and elsewhere, to be exa-
mined by them in private. The directors make no ob
jection to the production of all that may be required, but
insist that an equal number of members of the board shall
take part in the investigation. At a recent general
meeting the dispute was submitted for decision by the
proposal of two resolutions, one of confidence in the
directors, and the other in the committee. The verdict
was in favour of the directors, the committee being con-
sidered to have exceeded their powers, but the majority
was small and a poll was demanded, which will be taken
on Thursday nezt.—Times
CAUTION TO THE OWNERS OF IMPROPER HOUSES.—
The Recorder of Liverpool, Mr. Gilbert Henderson, at
the Liverpool Borough Sessions, on Saturday, sentenced
Mr. William Meadows, of Seel-street, in that town, to a
fine of 401., and to be imprisoned until paid, for letting
houses, of which he was the owner, to parties who har-
bour prostitutes. During the day a number of persons
were convicted of keeping disorderly houses, and the
learned Recorder in each case inquired for the name and
address of the landlord, and directed that they should be
served with a notice of prosecution if the houses still
continued to be let for the same purpose.

screams attracted the attention of the inmates, who, on
