LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.)

His Honour—Then I understand you that the
appointment of the additional direct() rs was in violation
of a distinct understanding.

Mr. Fleming said it was so, decidedly ; for the object
of the appointment of the committee was not only to
investigate the accounts and consider whether neW
directors should be appointed, but also whether the
afra;ra of the company could be successfully carried out,
and ho complained of the breach of faith on the part of
the directors.

His Honour did not see that he had power to make
an order. The directors asked for an adjournment
and if he made any general order to prevent them from
actively interfering it would be inoperative. Some specific
matter must be stated.
Mr. Fleming said that all that was required wap„, that
the committee should be placed in the same position es
they were before at the last meeting.
Mr. Jones thought that it was understood he wag
supporting tho views of Mr. Fleming. He applied for
an ajournment, considering it was the best course, but
if Mr. Fleming liked he was willing to go on, but the
company wonld be ruined.

Mr. Fleming said ho should aot agree to go on with
,he case.

Mr. Jones said he would not consent to be placed
under any terms, and the shareholders could as easily di
miss the whole of the directors as some.
After a long discussion,
His Honour did not think that he ought to make aril
order imposing conditions on the directors, and though
that an adjournment ought to take place, if there Was
any prospect of carrying on the business of the Gardena
successfully.

The case was ultimately adjourned till the 16th of
December at 11 o'clock.

Mr. Levy appeared for Madame Caradori, and bir•
Palmer, a shareholder and creditor.

IMPORTANT OASE.

Mr. Chidley applied, in a case of a public compalli
being wound up under the act, that one of the contribn"
tories should lee struck out of the list, as be bad been
induced; being a creditor, to become a shareholder, 1)14
he had been induced to do so by misrepresentation'
Mr. Chidley argued at considerable length, that, according
to the decision of the Vice-Chancellor, the Contributor!
who had become so through fraudulent misrepresentr
tion—

His Honour said that ho could not take newspaper
reports in such important cases.
_ _

Mr. Chidlay said the case was quoted in the iict°
Tinter and legal papers.
His Honour said ho could only look on the case
in :the same way as in a case of partnership of
A, B, C, and D. If a creditor catne in to prove for credit
given to the four, he of course could do O.
The fraud upon kby A B C did not ;move the resPclP
sibility and liability from D. ; but when all the creditors
had been paid the question would arise as to the fraud
between the partners. Under those circumstances a
shareholder or contributor was liable to the claim of A
creditor, and could not be expunged from the list.

THE FESTIVAL OF THE MOHURRUAL

A private letter from Pondicherry, dated SoPti
4, says : •

"In ordinary times the first ten days of the lunar
month of the Mohurrum are, as regards the Mum'!mango
a period of over-exlitement, and frequently of disturb.
auce. Fears were entertained this year that the frmati-
°ism of the Mahomedan portion of the population would
impel them to greater excesses in consequence of the
military mutiny. These fears, however, were amine'
ous, for the population of Pondicherry exhibited so
excel:eat spirit. Although the James is an assert'

Ali, and grandson of the Prophet Mahomet. The

General of Yezid, Prince of Damascus, and hie cow'

mourning the nzony of the Iman is represented

the name of the Gounds. The population attends it

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Pane.)
THE ROYAL SURREY GARDENS.
To-day was appointed for hearing further arguments
on the question whether the affairs of the above coin-
'parry should be wound up under the powers of this
court.

Mr. Jones appeared for the company, and said that
he had but few observations to make. Since the last
meeting in this court a meeting was held by the ebare•
holders to investigate the affairs, and the meeting was
then adjourned till the 2d of November. He (Mr. Jones)
therefore proposed that the present meeting should be
adjourned until after the latter date.
Mr. Fleming, for the shareholders, objected, and said
that a committee was originally appointed to investigate
the accounts, and to consider whether the directors
ought to be removed ; but, as that committee was not
deemed by some to he impartial, another was appointed,
and ho considered that the directors had committed fb
breach of faith, having since elected three additional
directors. He therefore urged that, should the meeting
be adjourned, some conditions should be annexed, so as
to prevent the interference of the directors with the pro-
ceedings of the committee.
