LAW INTELLIGENCB-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lords Justices.)
APPEAL.-LINDSAY V. GIBBS.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

At the conclusion of the arguments in this case, Lord
Justice Turner announced that judgment would be given
on Tuesday week.

The following bills were read a second time, and ordered
;o be committed :

APPEAL.-ATTOitNEY-GENERAL V. DAVEY.
Mr. Daniel, Q.C., is now being heard for the appellant
in this Charity Trust Conveyance in Norwich.

Berks and Hants Extension Railway, Mid-Kent Rail-
way, Witney Railway (No. 2), Malden and Sheen Valley
Drainage, Wells and Fakenham Railway.
Mr. C. FORSTER moved the following, which were
agreed to :—That the order for the second reading of the
Atlantic Telegraph Company Bill be read. and discharged.
That the bill be withdrawn. That leave be given to bring
in a bill to " alter and amend the Acts relating to the
Atlantic Telegraph Company, and to enable the company
to raise additional capital; and for other purposes." That
Mr. Stuart Wortley and Mr. Samuel Gurney do prepare
and bring in the bill.
PETITIONS.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.)
JUDGMENT.-BLUCK V. MALLALUE.

His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said—This is a
suit arising out of a loan joint-stock company, limited, and
there is an application by the plaintiff for an injunction to
restrain some of the directors as a board of management, or
a committee of management of the joint-stock loan com-
pany from doing certain acts complained of, on the ground
that they are a corporation, and that the acts complained of
are contrary to the rules of the corporation, and
contrary to their duties as a corporation, limited.
The acts complained of are three. First—That the
defendant, Mr. Mallalue, in his capacity of cashier of the
company, took bills and promissory notes in his own name
only, without the name of the company. Second—That
the loans made by the directors were made for their own
benefit, contrary to the rules of the corporation. And,
third—That the directors had not fulfilled their part of the
contxact, but had failed to take, as required, a certain num-
ber of shares of the company. That by the provisions of
the contract they were bound to take a certain number of
shares, and' they had not done so. Upon the first
part of the case his Honour did not consider
that the assertions were proved. He did not think
that the second was sufficiently proved so as to constitute a
breach of the 47th and 67th regulations of the company.
But his Honour did think that the third branch of the case
was proved, that the directors had not taken and retained
the requsite number of shares in the company. His Honour
considered the case of the North Midland Railway Com-
pany v. Hudson as a case in point, and granted the plaintiff
an injunction against the defendant as asked, with liberty
to apply.

Mr. SPOONER presented a petition from the inhabi-
tants of Brompton, setting forth that they viewed with
great apprehension the spread of popery in England, and
the dissemination of the " Garden of the Soul " in the
ar
Mrm.
y. DENISON presented a petition praying for the
repeal of the duty on paper.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS presented five petitions to the same
effect.

TRAMWAYS (IRELAND) BILL.
Sir R. FERGUSON moved the second reading of this
bill, and said he proposed that it should be referred to a
select committee.
After a few words from Sir D. Norreys, Col. French, Mr.
Mr. M‘Mahon, and other hon. members,
This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com-
mitted this day four weeks.
MARRIAGE LAW AMENDMENT BILL.
Lord BURY, in moving the second reading of this bill,
said that though he was prepared to answer any objection
on the part of the hon. member (Mr. B. Hope) who had
an amendment on the paper, he believed he would be
consulting the feelings of the house if he abstained from
any observations at present. He would, therefore, merely
at the present moment move that the bill should be read a
second time.
Mr. A. B. HOPE said ho had to complain of the per-
tinacity with which the noble,lord had pressed forward this
measure, The noble lord had given no reasons for his sup-
port of the bill, and merely acted on the principle, sic volo
sic jubio. It was most improper that a measure
like the present, which so seriously affected the social con-
dition of the community, should be only placed in their
hands that morning, and therefore they were called on to
decide on its principle with undue haste. Hs denied that
there had been an adequate demonstration on the part of
the people in any part of this countryAs sho.wn by pea.•
tions, to justify the introduction of this bill. He contended
that the preponderance of feeling in the country was against
the bill. (No, no.) As long as gentlemen cried "No, no,"
he would cry " Yes, yes." (Laughter.) He repeated that
if the community were fully canvassed, his assertion
would be found to be correct, and he must strongly
denounce the attempt made by the supporters of this
bill to bring the brand of discord into the heart of the social
circle, to change the sacred and tender feelings of the sister
towards her brother-in-law, and to make her shrink from
the most innocent attentions on his part. Its effect, also,
on the interests of her nephews and nieces would be most
injurious, and they could no longer look forward with
sincerity to her protection and affection as to that of a
second mother. If they admitted that it• should be legal
for a man to marry his sister-in-law, they would inevitably
come to the rendering legal marriage with a niece, which
was the case in those countries on the continent when the
former was sanctioned by law. (" No, no.") He did not
propose to deal with the religious part of the question, be-
cause the arguments which he had brought forward last
year had not been answered ; and he heard one gentleman
state that a charity girl would confute a bench of bishops on
the religious part of the subject. He concluded by moving
that the bill be read a second time that day six months.
Mr. BALL, in supporting the second reading of the bill,
said he had heard nothing from the hon. member (Mr.
Hope) to induce him to change his opinion on this question,
and he could not see how what was considered to be cor-
rect in 1835, should not be regarded as just and proper in
1859. (Hear, hear.) -He had not so much acquaintance
with religious societies as the hon. member, but ho was
connected with several of them, and they were in favour of
the measure. Moreover, they had the fact that there were
petitions presented from no less than 750 clergymen of the
metropolis, who, he believed, formed the majority of the
clergy in London. So far from being productive of the
evils predicted by the honourable member for Maidstone,
they would have directly the contrary effect.
Sir F. BUXTON expressed his surprise that the hon.
member should have asserted that there was not a strong
popular feeling in the country, when they considered the
petitions presented on the subject, and the opinion of the
majority of the press throughout the country, which
strongly advocated the legalising of the marriages in ques-
tion. If these marriages were not opposed to the Word of
God, why should they not be legalised by the law of man ?
In fact, it was most desirable that they should decide on
this question without further delay, and by that means
terminate the suspense which at present prevailed in the
minds of the community, so long as the matter was unde-
cided. It had been contended that these marriages were
opposed to the book of Leviticus ; but was it not a fact that
the Jews, who were the best interpreters of the text of the Old
Testament permitted these marriages from the very com-
mencement. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. H. DRUMMOND said it was a strong proof of the
progress of liberty that within the space of one week a bill
was introduced to sanction incest and another to sanction
sacrilege. (Laughter.) He deniedthat it had been proved
to the satisfaction of any reasoning mindthat the marriages
proposed by this bill were not directly opposed to the Word
of God. (Cries of " Oh, oh.") When the papers sane
tioned incest they did so for some interested motive, but
they had no such plea for the act they proposed to commit.
It was against the law of God to form these marriages,
and the word of man could not set aside that of God.
Mr. AKROYD supported the second reading of the
bill. He said those marriages were very common amongst
the working classes, who, satisfied that they were not for-
bidden by the law of God, had no scruple in contracting
them, and were therefore, so long as the present law was
unaltered, living in a state of what some might call con-
)
cubinage.
General THOMPSON said that as all his constituents
wanted to marry the sisters of their deceased wives—
(laughter)—he must say a few words in favour of the bill
on their behalf. It was a fact that the community were in
favour of it, and he could not understand how a mail who
saw his sister-in-law paying attention to her nephews and
nieces, and supplying the place of their mother could pre-
vent entertaining for her those feelings which would induce
him to make her his wife. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. STEWART opposed the bill, and condemned legis-
lating for this country without including Scotland.
Sir G. LEWIS supported the second reading of the bill.
When they looked to Protestant and Catholic countries
they found that these marriages were permitted in some
form or another. This law against marriage with a de-
ceased wife's sister was opposed to the feelings of the
people "at large. He asked the house if it was to
retain the present state of the law, when such was
the case ? The present law, he repeated, did not exist
in other countries at present, and did not exist in this
country until 1835, and taking this into consideration, as
well as the popular feeling that had been exhibited, and the
extremely stringent and painful character of the law, he
trusted the opposition would not be persisted in, and that
the bill would not only be read a second time that day, but
would shortly become the law of the land. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. WALPOLE said that although in Prussia, which
was a Protestant country, marriage with a deceased wife's
sister was legalised, it was also lawful for an uncle to marry
his niece, and were they preparad to go to the same extent ?
When they were preparing to alter a law that so deeply
affected the social state of all classes, they should bring
forward the most satisfactory reasons for the change. If
they pressed this bill they would have to make an altera-
tion in the law of divorce in the provisions, which related
to incest ; and he believed the effect of the change pro-
posed by this measure would tend to increase that crime.
He concluded by a most urgent appeal to the house to reject
the measure.
ADMISSION OF BARON MEYER ROTHSCHILD.
Baron M. Rothschild, accompanied by Lord J. Russell
and Mr. Abel Smith, appeared at the table to take his seat
as member for Hythe ; but immediately afterwards retired
in order that tko formal resolution, in conformity with the
statute of last session, should be agreed to.
Mr. A. SMITH then moved the resolution, by which the
hon. member was privileged to take his seat without sub-
scribing to the usual form of oath.
Mr. NEWDEGATE said he rose to ask the Speaker a
question. (Cries of " Oh, oh.") Ho wished to know whe-
ther the resolution, which the house was called on to pass,
was merely sessional, or whether, if not rescinded, it was
to be considered to be in perpetuity? He also wished to
know whether Baron M. Rothschild was a subject by birth
or by naturalisation of her Majesty ?
Sir GEORGE GREY said that the latter question was a
legal one, and if the hon. member objected to Baron Roths-
child sitting in that house, ho should do so by petition.
Mr. CONINGHAM expressed a hope that oaths, which
were merely a Pagan institution, would be abolished in this

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
IN RE LILLIE.

This bankrupt was described as of Noodley, Essex,
miller, and carne up for his certificate, which was opposed
,he ground of reckless trading and fraudulent disposal
of his property to his father-in-law, when in a hopeless
state of insolvency, owing about £1,700, and the assets
about £7O.

His Honour suspended the certificate (second class) for
2 months, without protection for six months.
An application, however, was made for limited protec-
ion for six weeks, to give the! bankrupt an opportunity of

appealing.

country.
Lord J. RUSSELL said it would be desirable to hear the
opinion of the Speaker on the subject.
The SPEAKER said it was a clearly established rule of
Parliament that a resolution differed from a standing order,
and expired with the dissolution or prorogation of Parlia-
ment. The course now proposed was in strict conformity
with the statute passed last session.
Mr. A. SMITH then moved the resolution,•by which
any person of the Jewish persuasion, on taking his seat, was
not required in his declaration to use tho words "on the
true faith of a Christian."
Mr. NEWDEGATE said that although his opinion, and
those of his friends who voted with him last session, was
unchanged, he would not oppose the resolution.
The resolution was then agreed to, and Baron Rothe•

child, having been again conducted to the table, took the
oaths and his seat on the Opposition benches.
The debate was then resumed.
Lord J. RUSSELL said before the house came to a divi-
sion he wished very briefly to state his views upon the
H
question, and the reasons which induced hint to give his
vote in support of the second reading of this bill. (ear,
hear.) During the years the subject had been under
the cognizance of the house, he had until the present hour
refrained from giving any vote on the question, because ho
had not fully considered the question, but having heard au
hon. member observe that it was the duty of every member
of the house to fully considei"the question, he had done so,
and he had satisfied himself' that there was no religious pro-
hibition to the marriage with a deceased wife's sister—
(hear, hear)—and he.was further of opinion that there was
a clear distinction between relations in blood and relations
who become so by the marriage.tie. (Hear, hear.) There
was a feeling in favour of the marriage with a deceased
wife's sister especially amongst the middle classes, amongst
whom it was thought that there was no person so fit to take
care of the motherless children as the beloved sister of the
deceased wife... In numerous cases, where the sister of the
deceased wife came to reside with the widower, a feeling of
intimacy soon sprung up, when it was observed she was
kind and affectionate to the children. (dear, hear.) • That
feeling soon grew into affection, and he thought it unjust
that those persons, not being.blood relations—(hear, hear,
and cheers)—should be debarred from' confirming their
affection by marriage. (Hear, hear.) Where those parties
felt there was no scruple on religions grounds, their marriage
'ought to be allowed, and such being his opininon
he should support the second reading of the bill. If a bill
such as that now under consideration passed he (Lord John
Russell) thought the subject would not be allowed to rest
at that point, and justly so, for it was but right that there
should be equal rights given to both sexes—(cheers)—equal
rights to all. Cheers.)
Mr. WALTIR opposed 'the- bill, He denied there was
