A special meeting of this company was held at
Birmingham on Thursday, Mr. R. Chancier iu the
chair.

The CHAIRMAN explained that the object of the
meeting was to consider the propriety of accepting
'the terms of a proposed agreement with the Lon-
don and North- Western Railway for leasing the
line. In case they should be disposed to take pos-
session of the line prior to the expiration of Mr.
M'Lean's lease, of which 13 years had to run, the
London and North-Western had offered to pay 4i
per cent. for the remainder of h's term, and from
the expiration of Mr. M‘Lean's term to lease the
line for a period of 99 years at 4 per cent, per
annum ; the dividend on the glary capital and in-
terest on the bonds to be payable out of the gross
receipts during the first part of the term.
A long discussioneusued, in which Mr. Williams,
Mr. Shaw, Mr. Forster, Col. Dyot', and other
shareholders took pare, in the course of which it
was agreed to accept the offer, provided the com-
pany received an absolute guarantee from the Lon-
don and North-Western Company that the specified.
amount should be paid irrespective of traffic, that
they should pay the expense of the application to
Parliament for an act to sanction the lease, to find
capital for making the new branches, and to purr.
chase the engines and waggons at a crrtain price or
valuation.

It was intimated that the requisite guarantee
would be given for paying 4i per cent, until Aug.,
1871, and 4 per cent. afterwards.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks
to the chairman.

THE CONTEST FOR LIMERICK.

The two candidates have launched their election
addresses, and each is pursuing a vigorous canvass
of the constithency. If, however, as is rumoured,
the Conservativp interest should be thrown into the
scale for Mr. Ball, there would be little doubt 01
that gentleman's success.

THE RECENT FAILURE IN THE SOUTH.

Acmunts from Limerick announce that a meeting
of the creditors of Messrs. Bannatyne has just taken
place there and, according to the statement pl.l
forth, the liabilities amount to nearly 95,0001. The
arrangement proposed wai payment of 6s. 6d. in
the pound, at six, 12, or 18 months, which it i°
understood has not been accepted, some of the
principal creditors not having been represented At
the meeting.

COURT OF COIIIION COUNCIL.---Yesterday a special
court was held for the purpose of receiving the report
from the committee of justices, appointed at a meeting
of quarter sessions for the City of London, to carry into
execution the Lunatic Asylums Act, 1853, in relation
to providing a lunatic asylum for the City of London,
and to inquire and report what would be the probable
cost of the proposed lunatic asylum, out of what funds
it was desirable the expenses should be paid, and h°//
those funds should be raised. The committee, havini
carefully considered all the circumstances, were Of
opinion that the proposed asylum, including the pa'
chase of the ground, would be about 50,0001.; and that
the cost of erection, if erected at all, should be by
county rate, it being for the accommodation of pauPer
lunatics. Mr. Cox moved the adoption of the report*
After some discussion the motion was agreed to, there
being only one hand held up against it.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.)
IN RE ROSRERVILLE GARDENS.
Mr. Mayo's petition fur a winding-up order of this
company was again brought before his Honour the
Vice-Chancellor, this morning.
The Vice-Chancellor granted an order to wind up the
company, under the Winding-up Act, unless the direc-
tors of the company within one month paid to Mr.
Mayo the debt, interest, and expenses due by the com-
pany to him.

Costs-of all parties to be paid out of the funds of the
company in the event of the money not being paid, and
the winding-up order made absolute.
The directors hoped that an arrangement would be
come to before the expiry of that time. If not, the
bankruptcy of the company will be advertised in 14
days.

His Honour observed that payment of the company's
debts was a good test of solvency, and nonpayment a
good proof of in. olvency, and that he meant to act upon
that principle in this and any other case that might
come before him.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.)

DAVIES V. BULLOCK.
The testator, Andrew Davies, by his win declared, in
case there shall not be any child or children of his eldest
son, Robert Davies, alive at the time of his death, then
the trusts, money, interest, annuities, and dividends
shal be paid to the testator's bl)od relations or
next of kin, and be subjsct to the same order of distri-
bution as it would be in case of his dying intestate.
His Honour the Master of the Rolls, in delivering
judgment this morning, paid that in this case be
would follow the same course taken by him as in
the case of Wheeler v. Andrews. His Honour was of
opinion that the sister of the testator was not entitled
to take the monies bequeathed under this will—that the
next of kin were excluded by the statute of distributions
—it would only give them two-thirds unless this greater
provision was introduced. That the destination was to
apply to a course of events that was to occur and not
to the time when they began to be undertaken. That
the statute of limitation did not apply, and was no bar
to
.the present claim. That the child or children of
Robert afterwards born were entitled to take, and that
he is entitled to be recompensed out of the existing fund,
the share or shares belonging to them. The decree will
bear this da)'s date. Costs are reserved, and the decree
will be adjusted on the minutes.

COURT FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF
CROWN CASES RESERVED.
(Before Lord Campbell, the Lord Chief Justice of the
Common Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron, and eleven of
the Poises Judges.)
The Court sat this morning for the consideration of
criminal cases reserved. Amongst them were three
cases of murder, which rendered it necessary for the
assemt.ling of the fill court, a circumstance that has r• of
occurred for many years. The appearance of so many
learned judges on the bench had a very novel and
imposing Eff,ct.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
steadily, and values of all descriptions were fully
maintained. The sales were estimated at 8,000
bales, 3,000 of which were taken by the exporters
and speculators.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending the 20th inst., shows some very favourable
features. The bullion has been increased to the
extent of about one million sterling, and the re-
serve of notes has also been augmented upwards
of half a million. The other securities continue to
show a satisfactory falling cif, viz., of about one
million and a half, the total now being about
twenty-two millions and a quarter. The public
deposits have slightly decreased, and the private
deposits have declined about three quarters of a
million. The active circulation shows a slight in-
crease, but in the Government Securities there is
no alteration to report. The various items and the

ment Inspector, accompanied by the contractors
and engineers, made a minute inspection of the
portion of this line between Chatham and Faver-
sham. The works appeared to be constructed in
very substantial manner. The alterations which
were suggested on the occasion of the former in-
spection of the line having been carried out, and
all the stations completed, the inspector granted
his certificate for Vac opening of the line. The
direct-xi have announced that the line will be
opened for public traffic on Monday next. A ape..

DOUBTFUL IDENTITY.—Robert Horlgson Burns was
charged before Mr. Binghaaa with pot stealing.
Richard Case, barman at the Cro-vn public-house,
Ayre-street, St. Giles, kept by Mr. John Sinclair,
said the prisoner came into his master's house between
8 and 9 o'clock on Wednesday evening last and called
for half a pint of porter, which, o❑ be►ng served with,
he took away to the rear of the premises. 11,aring
a scuffle some short time afterwards he went t•) the
spot, where he found three or four customers holding
the pris incr. The prisoner threw doWn the half-pint
measure and tried his utmost to get away, but tbEy,
still holding, searched his pockets, and took from him
the five pint pot= produced, all belonging to different
houses. The half-pint pot was his master's property,
and valued about I.s.

Mrs. Elizabeth Grant, landlady of the Sun public
house, Gate-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, identified one of
the pots produced as her husband's property. She had
seen some one resembling the prisoner, hut could not
undertake to swear to him. The value of the six pots
was upwards of ss.
A. policeman deposed to having apprehended prisoner
from a description which had been given him.
The witness Case here explained that prisoner had
succeeded in getting from those who had hold of him
and escaped.
The policeman went on to say that be saw him
passing in the street, and at once took him into custody.
He had given a correct address.
Prisoner denied moat solemnly that he was the man
who had the pots, or that he was in the house on the
day named, or indeed for years before.
Case here repeated he was positive the prisoner was
the man. He had a different coat on at the time.
Prisoner said the only coat be had unfortunately was
the tattered one he wore. He was purely innocent of
the eharge made against him. He lived in the district
of the Court, but had for many years worked at Ber-
mondsey.
Mr. Leadley, the chief clerk, reminded him that if
that were so he could surely bring forward friends to
prove his character, and evidence of the fact of his long
employment.
This prisoner said he could, and hoped an opportunity
would be given him. The magistrate would see be was
innocent.
Remanded for that purpose.

PRUSSIA.

Accounts from Berlin of tho 204 h state. that in
the morning of that day a Te Deum was celebrated
in the church of St. Edwig to return thanks for the
escape of the Emperor Napoleon. The persons
belonging to the French embassy were present in
full unifoi m, as were also Baron de Manteuffdl and
all the members of the diplomatic body, including
the TurkiPh ambassador.
A Vienna letter in the Bourse Gazette of Berlin
says:— _ _

" The speech delivered by the King of Denmark on
opening the Supreme Council has caused consider-
able surprise here. The Danish Ambassador, Count de
Bille Brahe, waited on Count de Buol, doubtless to
lessen the painful impression produced by the speech,
but the Austrian Minister received his explanations with
the greatest coldness, and purely and simply
referred
himto the approaching decision of the Diet."

• PRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.
The Emperor has ordered an inquiry to be insti-
tuted into the situation of the victims of the at-
tempt of the 14th, and into that of their families.
A. bill will, if necessary, be presented to the Legis-
lative Body for
granting pensions to such among
them as may stand in need of it.
The .l 1 oniteur publishes a decree, raising the
salaries of the bisbops from 12,000 fr. to 15,000 fr. a
year from the beginning of the present year.
The Moniteur says :—" The Belgian Govern-
ment has just presented to the Chamber of
Representatives a bill on the police relative to
foreigners. On the following day another bill was
brought forward for modifying the Penal Code.
The Government has proposed to separate from
the said bill the articles relative to crimes and mis-
demeanours attacking international relat:on,,, in
order to make them into a special law which will
be voted at once as urgent. Judicial proceedings
have been commenced by the Belgian Government
against the journals le Drcipeau and le Crocodile."

SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.

A special meeting of this company was held at
Birmingham ou Thursday, Mr. R. Chauner in the

chair.

The CHAIRMAN explained that the object of the
meeting was to consider the propriety of accepting
the terms of a proposed agreement with the Lon-
don and North-Western Railway for leasing the
line. In case they should be disposed to take pos-
session of the line prior to the expiration of Mr.
M'Lean's lease, of which 13 years had to run, the
London and North-Western had offered to pay 44
per cent. for the remainder of his term, and from
the expiration of Mr. M‘bean's term to lease the
line for a period of 99 years at 4 per cent, per
annum ; the dividend on the share capital and in-
terest on the bonds to be payable out of the gross
receipts during the first part of the term.
A iongdiscussioneusued, in which Mr. Williams,
Mr. Shaw, Mr. Forster, Col. Dyott, and other
shareholders took part, in the course of which it
was agreell to accept the offer, provided the com-
pany received an absolute guarantee from the Lon-
don and North-Western Company that the specified
amount should be paid irrespective of traffic, that
they should pay the expc.nse of the application to
Parliament for an act to sanction the lease, to find
capital for making the new branches, and to pur-
chase the engines and waggons at a certain price or
I valuation.

It was intimated that the requisite guarantee
would be given for paying 4i per cent, until Aug.,
1871, and 4 per cent. afterwards.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thank*
to the chairman.

THE CONVICT MELLOR.

The prisoner was tried at the last Liverpool winter
assizss, before Mr. Justice Wightman, for murder, was
convicted, and sentenced to death. On the ftllow•
ing day it was discovered that a wrong juryman went
into the box, and was sworn by mistake. It was held
for the prisoner that he had lost his right of challenge,
and bad not been properly convicted.
Mr. FearnleY was beard in support of the objection,
and Mr. Sowler in support of the conviction.
Lord Campbell said he thought the Court had not
jarisdiotion in the ease. The act gave them power to
con ider points of law reserved on the trial. This was
not a point of law on the trial, but a mistake discovered
after. It was a fact that should be brought before
the Court on a writ of error.
Judgment deferred.
