DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
Tl ,:iSITATION OF TRINITY COLLEGE.
The arguments pro and con, so far as the ques-
tion of censure is
at stake, were concluded yester-
day ;but the subseq
:tent proceedings show that the
dispute between the re=formers and the Board has
and that the issue now
involved assumes
in e
onnvlyolv commenceded an
the confines of Trinity [Jolley, After Mr. Hamil-
ton Smythe, Q. C. had addressed the Court on the
part of the Rev. Mr. Carm. the Vice-Chan-
cellorhaeles
announced that the c,7-s must stand for
judgment. The following important discussion
then ensued between counsel and the Court :
Mr. Lawson, Q.C.—I would respectfully ask your
lordships, on behalf of Dr. Shaw, not to dispose of his
case without hearing counsel for him in reply.
The Vice-Chancellor—We have listened attentively to
all that has been said.
Mr. Lawson—l know that, but new matters have
been introduced by Mr. Ball and Mr. Lloyd which have
not been adverted to in reply, and we desire to observe
upon them.
The Vice-Chancellor--If you undertake to apply your-
self merely to the new matter we will hear you, but
your speech, both as to the details of the case and the
arguments, was so very full, that it does not occur to me
anything more can be said.
Mr. Lawson—After that I will not press my applica-
tion. But Dr. Shaw wishes me to say that the matters
brought forward to-day, and the statements made with re-
spect to what the Board have done, he does not admit
to be correct. They are in many respects fallacious and
incorrect, and, if necessary, he is prepared to prove that.
The Vice-Chancellor—l am satisfied yon cannot go
into statements and evidence to disprove those state-
ments. They have been received by the Court merely
as statements.
Mr. Brewster—As Mr. Lawson has made that obser-
vation, it is right I should say, standing here as counsel
for the provost and senior fellows, and this being a general
visitation, that nothing would give them greater plea-
sure than that anybody would bring forward before this
tribunal any charges or imputations upon their conduct
that may be supposed to have foundation.
The Vice-Chancellor—That enables me, with the con.
currence of the Lord Archbishop, to bring before the
Court one particular matter. A letter was addressed to
the Chancellor of the University by the registrar of the
college, in which it is represented that a great variety
of charges have been made against the Provost and senior
fellows; and this letter contains what is considered to
be a refutation of those charges. He did not think that
the Court should enter generally into many of the matters
stated ; but there was one charge with respect to which
the Court felt it their bounden duty to call the attention
of the college authorities. It was their defence against
the charge supposed to be made against them of having
applied to their own individual use certain portions of
the university fees that belonged properly to the college
chest—the general hind of the college. If there was
anybody present, as a member of the Corporation, who
was prepared to sustain that charge, the Court was quite
ready to investigate it. On the other hand, if there was
no person there to repeat that charge, it would be for
the Provost and Senior Fellows to say whether they
have anything to offer on the subject either in the way
of explanation or disproof.
Dr. Shaw—l am present to make that charge.
Vice-Chancellor Blackburne—Put the charge in writ-
ing. This Court cannot proceed but on a written charge,
When this is done we will consider whether the investi
gation should proceed to-day, or at some future adjourn•
ment of the. Court.
Dr. Shaw—•l will put the charge in writing.
Mr. Lawson, Q C., said, on behalf of Dr. Shaw, that
while he concurred in a great deal of what had been said
by Mr. Smythe, he wished the Court to understand that
Dr. Shaw desired to have an adjudication
on the merits
of his case on the form of the sentence, and not upon the
point whether or not he was properly summoned before
the Board.
Vice-Chancellor Blackburn() said the Court perfectly
understood the meaning of Mr. Lawson's observations,
and would decide the case on the grounds in which he
stated it.
Dr. Shaw said he bad another charge to bring against
the Board of Trinity College, of violating a statute in
order to screen great defects and abuses in the college
from public ken.
Vice-Chancellor Blackburne said the Court were of
opinion that they could not hear any matter that was a
fit subject for the jurisdiction of the Board in the first in-
stance ; but with respect to charges against the Board
itself of malversation, as by the instance of the univer-
sity fees, they were of opinion that this was the proper
tribunal to investigate such charges, and they would
afford to the parties making them the fullest oppor-
tunity.
The Rev. Benjamin Dixon, Junior Fellow, said he
wished to bring under the notice of the Court what he
conceived was a violation of the statute by the Board.
He made no charge against individuals ; his complaint
was that a statute of the university had been violated.
Vice-Chancellor Blackburne said he thought this was
a matter to be investigated at another time ; six days'
notice were required of any charge to be preferred
against the Provost and Board ; but in reference to the
imputations already alluded to, the Court were deter-
mined to proceed with the investigation of them at once.
The Rev. Mr. Dixon said he was not aware of the
rule requiring six days' notice, and he was therefore at
some inconvenience in the matter.
The Vice-Cdancellor desired the charge to be fur.
nished in writing, and the Court would consider whether
it came within the scope of their power to entertain it.
Dr. Sbaw wished to be permitted to say—as the
words malversation of- funds had been used—that the
charge which he had to bring against the Board was not
of that character. He alleged that a statute had been
violated by the Board, but not with the view to screen
from the public a malversation of public funds.
Vice-Chancellor Blackburne.—Put the charge in writ-
ing, and then there can be no mistake about it.
Dr. Shaw.—l will avail myself of that permission.
The Court then adjourned for half-an-hour, when
their lordships again sat.

The Registrar read the following paper handed in by
Dr. Si aw :—" My allegation is that the proportion of
fees on higher degrees, as published by the Board in
1791 and 1801, has been altered so as to give to the
Provost and Senior Fellows amounts formerly given to
Trinity College. In bringing this charge I think it right
to add that I make no personal imputation against the
Existing membors of the Board. I further allege that
the statute enacts that sub-lecturers shall be provided
to lecture in each of the four classes, and that for the
present year the Board have only appointed two."
Mr. Brewster, Q C.—These are two distinct charges.
They should be handed in separately.
The Registrar.—The two charges are on the same
letter.

Vice-Chancellor Blackburne—The Court si,anda ad-
journed till Tuesday, .Tune 1, at 11 o'clock, when this
matter will be proceeded with.
Mr. Brewster, Q.C. —The Board do not desire any
adjournment. They are prepared to go into the matter
now,

Vice-Chancellor Blackburne.—The Court cannot pro-
ceed with it to-day.
Mr. Lawson, Q.C.—As a letter on the subject of this
charge has been written by the Provost and Senior Fel-
lows to the Chancellor, it is only fair and reasonable
that my client should be furnished with a copy of it.
Mr. Brewster, Q.C., said the suggestion was per-
fectly right, and would be acceded to. The Board felt
it their duty the moment they heard that such a charge
was to be preferred to place in the bands of the highest
authority to which they were amenable the facts as they
believed them to be. They were most desirous to have
the opportunity of submitting these facts to the public,
and they rejoiced that, through the kindness of the
Court, they now had permission to do so. The Board
widiecl to give Mr. Lawson's client every opportunity
to advance his charge a ainst them. All the documents
intended to be relied on would be accessible to Dr. Shaw.
Mr. Brewster then asked if their lordships intended to
proceed with any other matters except those now before
them at the adjourned sitting ?

The V.c ~dhancellor saitithat a matter in connexion
with the coostruction of the late statute had been
brought under their notice by Dr. Dixon, which he bad
directed the regstrar to receive; and if there was time,
and it was fit to be entertained, it would be proceeded
with.

The Coui; was then adjourned to Tuesday, June L

RAND PROGRESS OF ALGIERS.—Algiers being no
longer large enough for its population and commerce
the plan for con,tructing an entirely new town at Mus-
tapha, a vast tract of ground close to the city, is again
brought forward. It is near that place, or in its
vicinity, that the s'ation of the Algiers and Blidah Rail-
way will be placed, and two architects have recommended
the Government to take advantag.e of that circumstance
to lay out Musto.itha at once as a new town. They have
submitted plans for the purpose, which are on a very
grand scale, cmprising the formation of a vast port, ex-
.tc naive cavalry and infantry bariafks, an imperial palace,
a bourse, a custom-house, markets, a cathedral, palace
fir as archbishrp, several Catholic and other cturche4,
docks, basins, and a number of long and wide streets.
It is thought likely, the Alzh,bar states, that some dt cl.
sion will shortly be come to on the subject.
