LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(Before Mr. CornolisBioner liolroyd.)
IN RE THE ROYAL BRITISEI BANK.

A private meeting was held to-day under the bank•
ruptcy, the object being to discus a great number of
proofs on the part of shareholders, to prove as creditors
against the estate.

Mr. Mellish appeared In support of the claims ; and
Mr. Browne (instructed by Messrs. Linklater) for the
a,signees, to oppose.

Mr. Brown stated the grounds of his claims at great
length, the first of which, that, as the terms of the
charter of the bank, granted in 1849, bad not been
complied with, the directors were not justified in
applying for a new charter in 1855 to increase
their capital to 500,0001., and he said that it might be-
come a serious question hereafter whether the Crown
bad the power to grant the new charter, under the cir-
cumstances. The next ground was that the issue of the
shares had been in fraud, and that the persons who had
i,aken them up were not bound by their contract, and,
consequently, became creditors of the bank for the
amount they had paid. To prove the fraud he proposed to
patin the reports of the directors, and contendedthat there
had been gross misrepresentation to the new share-
holders, as to the dividends, but which, even had they
been paid, might have been paid out of capital or depo-
sits, iii either of Welch case it would be evidence of
fraud. He therefore proposed to call Mr. Coleman, the
accountant, to state what he had stated on former occa-
sions as to the accounts, and then proposed to put in
the claims of the different parties, which were generally
similar.

Mr. Browne could not consent to this as the claims
were founded on affidavits. ,
Mr. Mellish said that the course was suggested in
order to facilitate--

Mr. Browns said he must object to affidavits being

received.

Mr. Mellish said they were taken in the Tipperary

case.

Mr. Browne said that the assignees were anxious that
there should be no delay or unnecessary expense, but
they were not in a condition to consent to a consolida-
tion of the cases—each case might depend on its own
merits—one man might have been deluded, another not.
If two or three cases with distinct features were raised
an opportunity would be afforded for appeal, it deemed
requisite, but he must require the examination to be
taken viva voce.
After a few words,

Mr. Mellish said he would submit some cases.
The examinations are likely to occupy the day, and
not be concluded.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE FRAUDS.-IN RE ROBSON.

To-day was appointed for the last examination of this
bankrupt, who stands convicted of forgeries in respect of
shares in the Crystal Palace Company. He was brought
up in custody, and placed in a private room, but up to
half-past one was not brought into court.
