VICE-CHANCELLOR KINDERSLEY AT CHAMBERS.
IN the matter of the Joint-Stock Companies'
Winding-up Acts, 1848 and 1849, and of the " SAINT
GEORGE BENEFIT BUILDING _ _

BY direction of the Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard Torin Kin-
dersley, the Judge to whose Court the Winding-up of this
Company is attached, Notice is Hereby Given, That the said
Judge will on MONDAY, the 21st day of February, 1859, at 3
o'clock in the afternoon, at his Chambers, No. 3, Stone-build-
ings, Lincoln's-inn, in the county of Middlesex, proceed to
make A CALL on the several persons who are settled on the
list of contributories of the said Company, and that the said
Judge purposes that such Call shall be for Eight pounds per
share.
All persons interested are entitled to attend at such day,
hour, and place to offer objections to such call.
Dated this eleventh day of February, 1859.

inn, Official Manager.

controlled, the Governor-General is of opinion that such
acts should be pardoned.

"12. The same rule does not apply to a case in which
similar acts were committed in a quiet part of the country,
but where the civil power had become indirectly weakened
by the rebellion. The Governor-General does not think
that in such a case the suit could be rejected; but the
magistrates should do all in their power to bring about an
accommodation without process of law.

" 13. The fourth question regards the property of those
who, coming within the amnesty, may ,submit before the
Ist of January, in cases in which the first steps towards
confiscation shall already have been taken.
"The Governor-General is of opinion that there can be
no doubt that the person thus submitting himself, and not
being in the excepted classes, will save his property.
" 14. Where confiscation has taken place, the seventh
paragraph of the enclosure of my letter, No. 4,444, dated
the Bth ult., prescribes cases in which the sentence should
be reconsidered. The Governor-General is of opinion that
the proclamation does not entitle an owner to restitution
after actual adjudication ; but his Excellency thinks that it
will be in the spirit of the proclamation that, in the cases
described in the paragraph just referred to, the sentence
should be reconsidered. If the property has not only been
confiscated, but awarded to others, or disposed of, reconsi-
deration cannot take place. •

" 16. The fifth question relates to the fining of village
communities for offences committed during the rebellion.
Does the amnesty condone those offences ?
"The Governor-General is of opinion that no fines
should be imposed where the inhabitants have returned to
their homes and peaceful pursuits ; and his Excellency is
averse from imposing such fines even where murder of
British subjects shall have been committed in a Village,
the individual perpetrators being unknown. The Governor-
General considers that it is contrary to the spirit of the
amnesty that the innocent should suffer for the guilty
wherever this can be avoided ; and it could scarcely be as-
sumed, in any case with which his lordship is acquainted,
that all were guilty.

" 16. But the Governor-General thinks that it is quite
just and reasonable that a village or town should be re-
quired to restore public buildings which were destroyed by
the inhabitants, and that a fine should be levied from them
for this purpose. This would be not so much a penal fine
as a bare restitution; and it is more fair, in his lordship's
opinion, that those buildings should be restored by thb par-
ticular community which bore the chief part in destroying
them, and which now needs them again, than that the ex-
pense should fall upon the country at large. The Governor-
General has already authorised the levying of fines in such
cases in Oudo.

" 17. The sixth question relates to mutineers or rebels in
custody, or whose trials are pending. Is the amnesty to
apply to them ?
" This question is answered by paragraph 5 of the en-
closure to my letter, No. 4,444, dated the 14th ult, accord-
ing to which the benefit of the amnesty is extended to those
who, not being of the excepted classes, are now in our
hands, although this may not be due to any submission or
surrender on their part. The only condition prescribed is
that such persons shall consent to return, and shall, in
fact, return to their homes and peaceful pursuits.
" 18. In regard to rebels and mutineers already con-
victed and undergoing sentence, the Governor-General has
no doubt that the amnesty does not extend to them ; but
his lordship desires me to take this opportunity to express
his conviction that, both in policy and in justice, a revision
of many of the sentences under which men have been
transported and imprisoned will be necessary. His Excel-
lency thinks, however, that this measure should not be
undertaken at the present time. For the moment we have
enough to do to watch the results of the pardon given to
those who are unconvicted, and of the disbandment of the
disarmed regiments. Any considerable remission or re-
laxation of sentences legally passed should be reserved till
the districts still disturbed have been reclaimed to ordor.

yesterday at Manchester, Mr. Wickham, M.P., in
the chair, a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per
annum on the ordinary stock and the usual guaran-
teed dividends were declared payable on the Ist of
March.

The retiring directors and auditor were re-
elected ; and Mr. W. Evans and Mr. James
Wrigley were proposed as candidates for the office
of auditor vacant by the death of Colonel Bentham.
Mr. Wrigley was elected, on a show of hands, by a
large majority, but Mr. Evans having demanded
a poll, the meeting was adjourned till 2 o'clock
this Lay.
