street, with a severe attack of the cholera. He is now
pronounced by his medical attendant to be out of danger,
and was able to go to the House of Commons yesterday.
We have been informed by a respectable cor-
respondent, that the Committee appointed to inquire into
the state of the Silk Trade has broken up, without coming
to any expressed opinion or united judgment on the facts
which their examinations had elicited. The Committee,
having sat for 15 weeks, and having examined a great
body of witnesses, had, no doubt, collected materials on
which a report might have been founded, declaratory of
the sentiments of its members, and expressive of the
tendency of its examinations. That such a report was
not made, is ascribed to a manoeuvre of the Chairman,
Mr. P. TirostsoN, who, seeing that the majority of the
Committee were against him, preferred rather the omis-
sion of a report altogether, than the expression of an opi-
nion hostile to his own. Of this latter fact we know no-
thing beyond the statement of our correspondent ; but we
might probably join with the Chairman of the Committee
in thinking that it was better to publish the evidence with-
out note or comment, as the grounds of a general opinion,
than to give what we are persuaded must have been a
wrong judgment, or a hasty decision ready made. We
have been contending for the last six weeks, that the evi-
dence taken before the Bank Committee should be printed
for general distribution and circulation, without being
accompanied by any declared opinion from the Chairman
or members of the Committee; and why should our re-
commendation be different in the case of the silk trade?
With all due respect for the industry and upright inten-
tions of our correspondent and his friends, who have been
instrumental in demanding the inquiry, we cannot see of
what value their opinion would be at the present moment,
or why Mr. Tnostsosr should have dreaded its promulga-
tion. We never could anticipate any benefit as the pro-
bable result of the inquiry from the beginning.
Though all the facts had been made out in the man-
ner which their authors alleged, they would not have
laid the least ground for altering our commercial
Policy on this branch of our manufactures, with any
persons who understood the question; and among
those who cannot understand a commercial principle, what
benefit can result from the mere accumulation of acknow-
ledged details ? The question of the silk trade has been
long settled, and ought not now to be disturbed ; but we
entirely object to any trick in
quashing opinion or abridg-
ing inquiry..... Times.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT.--(THIS DAY.)

EXPARTE MURRAY IN THE MATTER OF KENNINGTON.

This was the petition of several of the separate creditors
of Rowland Stephenson, praying that a proof for 58,0001 ,
which had been allowed by the Commissioners to be made
by the joint Mate against the separate estate of Rowland
Stephenson, ought to be expunged, the ground on which
the Commissioners allowed the proof being that the
amount bad been abstracted by Rawlavid Stephenson from
the joint estate under such circumstances of fraud as that,
according to the law in bankruptcy, the proof ought to b•
admitted.

Mr. KNIGHT appeared for tl e petitioners, and con-
tended that the amount had been abstracted by Rowland
Stephenson, with the perfect knowledge and license of the
other partners of the firm, who had made no complaint of
it, they well knowing that it was important to them,
under the circumstances-in which the house then was, to
keep on good terms with Rowland Stephenson, otherwise
the disclosures which be might make would probably
bring the house to premature bankruptcy.
Mr. WIGRAII followed on the same side.
Mr. Paris and Mr. RICHAROS appeared for the
respondents, contending that the judgment of the Coin-
missioners was correct, inasmuch as the abstractions
by Rowland Stephenson had taken place unknown to any
person, with the exception of Henry Stephenson, who
admitted in his examination, that the transactions bad
been kept from the knowledge of the other partners.
His HONOUR considered the judgment of the Commis.
sioners correct, and dismissed the petition.

CHOLERA INJUNCTION-THE GOVERNOR OF SECEFORD

HOSPITAL •. GUNSTOHE.

Mr. MuNRO applied for a special injunction in this case,
to restrain the defendant from letting any of the pre-
mises which he held under a lease from the Governors of
Seckford Hospital, as a hospital for the:reception of patients
afflicted with cholera.—(Laughter.) The premises in
question were situated in the parish of St. James, Cler-
kenwell, and one of the conditions of the lease to the
defendant was, that nothing should be done with the pre-
mises that would tend to the annoyance of any of the
other tenants on the estate. In defiance of the covenant
the defendant had actually let the premises to the parish
officers of Clerkenwell as a cholera hospital. Patients had
been removed there, many of whom had died, and the
other tenants of the estate had been greatly annoyed and
put in fear of their lives.
The Vim. CAANCELLOR thought he could not grant the
injunction as asked to the full extent, as it would have the
effect of turning out all the patients in the hospital, who
might take it in their beads to come to the Court to argu'•
for themselves their right to return.—(Laughter.) His
Honour would, however, grant an injunction, restraining
the defendant, and the parish officers of St. James, Clerk.
enwell, from permitting any more patients to he received
in the premises, and from using the dwelling-house as a
hospital for the reception hereafter of patients afflicted with
cholera morbus, upon the understanding that the defend-
ants might apply to the Court to-morrow, if they chose,
to dissolve the injunction.
