THE NEW INDIAN LOAN.

(From the Times' City Article.)

The following communications relate to the New
Indian Loan and the position of the Indian Rail-
Way Companies :

" London, Jan. 28.

" The statement made in the limes of this morning,
that the raising of the New Indian Loan is entirely in
consequence of the non-payment of sums into the Indian
Treasury by the railway companies,' is consistent Ns,:th the
dry facts of the case, but fail 3 to convey to the public mind
a cot red view of the matter. The railway compiniel have
never professed hitherto, or until they shs" be in full
working, to raise capital in the market upon the bare
merits of their undertakings, but only upon the strength of
the guarantee of the Government of India. It is the gua-
rantee which is now failing to attract continued subscrip-
tions upon the Mims of interest, which, until recently,
have been amply sufficient for the purpose ; and Sir Charles
Wood has probably adopted a wise course in preferring to
deal with the market on behalf of that Government
directly, to increasing the rate of guaranteed interest,
hitherto accorded to the railway companies, which would
have the effect of still further depressing the market value
of their stcck."

"Sir,—ln your Money Article of yesterday it is stated,
in reference to the issue of the New 5 per Cent. Indian
LOAD. of £3,000,000, ' that the raising of this loan is entirely
in consequence of the non payment of sums into the Indian
Treasury by the railway companies, and that but for the
difficulty experienced by these undertal-'ngs in obta:p:ucr
their reqr:rements it would not have been brcught out.' 1
beg you will be good enough to allow me to observe that
these remarks do not in any degree apply to the various
enterprises comprised ruder the designation of the Scinde
Railway Company The share capital of the Scinde Rail-
way, and of the Indus Steam Flotilla, was, in great pro-
portion, paid in anticipation, and the remainder without
difficulty when called up. The demand for the debentures of
the Scinde Railway was greatly in excess of the company's
powers of issue. The calls on the Punjab capital have been
readily responded to, and large amounts paid monthly in
anticipation, so that no delay or impediment has arisen
from the want of funds in prosecuting the various under-
takings of this company.—l am, &c.,
" W. P. ANDREW, Chairman of the Scinde
Railway Company.

At the Edinburgh Court of Session on Friday
last a decision was arrived at as to the form in which the
action on the part of the shareholders of the Western Bank
?f Scotland against the directors is to be conducted. There
is to be a separate issue against each, as each has to answer
for his own alleged fraud only, and the questions to be de-
cided will be as to whether the plaintiffs were led to pur-
chase their shares "by false representations as to the affairs
of the bank fraudulently made and promulgated,"

THE ROAD MURDER.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Before the Lord Chief Justice, and Justices Whiteman,
Hill, and Blackburn.)
THE QUEEN V. SYLVESTER.

It will be recollected that towards the close of Michael-
mas term a rule was obtained by the Attorney-General
calling upon Mr. Sylvester, the coroner who held the in-
quest upon the body of the child of Mr. and Mrs. Kent, of
Road House, to show cause why there should not be a fresh
inquiry into the causes and manner by which the child
came by its death, with a view, if possible, of detecting the
murderer or murderers, and thus clearing up a subject
shrouded up to the present moment in impenetrable
mystery.

The Attorney-General moved, in the first instance, for
the peremptory issue of a writ ad melius inquirendum, and
the appointment of a special commission to re-investigate
the mysterious murder of the child, on the ground that the
coroner had failed to discharge his duty as such at the time
of the inquiry in not summoning before the jury and exa-
mining all the members of the Kent family. He contended
that, in not having done so, there was a miscarriage of
justice; and in his argument he made serious complaints
against the coroner in his official character for the alleged
unsatisfactory manner in which he had conducted the in-
quest.

11k 11
El

The Court on that occasion declined to grant the rule
in the manner in which the Attorney-General wished to
obtain it, and, deeming it preferable to give Mr. Sylvester
an opportunity of answering the charges made against him,
they granted a rule nisi, and this morning Sir Fitzroy
Kelly and Mr. Cole attended fcr Mr. Sylvester to show
cause why the rule ought to be discharged.
The learned gentleman. entered at great length into the
various points raised by the Attorney-General, and ex-
plained and defended the acts of Mr. Sylvester, who had,
on that occasion, acted with the greatest impartiality
throughout the whole of the painful and distressing in-
quiry.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.)
Mr. Greaves applied for a writ of habeas carpus to bring
up the body of a bankrupt of the name of Freston from the
Queen's Bench Prison, illegally imprisoned there.
The Lord Chancellor ordered the prisoner to be brought
up on Friday week.
APPEAL MOTION.---THE EARL OF SHREWSBURY V. LEVEIL.
Mr. Rolt, Q.C., was heard in reply.
The Lord Chancellor reserved judgment.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Wood.)
JUDGMENT.
MADISIN V. CHAPMAN.

This is an administration suit under the will of the late
Thomas Chapman.

The testator, by his will, devised his real estate to his
wife, J. Chapman, and his two daughters, Mary Ann Chap-
man and J. Chapman, in several moieties for life, and on his
youngest daughter attaining the age of 21, to them and
their children, or the survivor absolutely. The youngest
daughter died before attaining the age of 21, and the ques-
tion raised was whether there was a vested interest in the
survivor—both daughters died without children.
His Honour the Vice Chancellor was of opinion that
there was a vested interest in the surviving daughter in the
realty, and that it passed by her will to the plaintiff, and
decree' accordingly.

His Honour remitted to his Chief Clerk to take an ac-
count of the real and personal estate of the testator, sub-
ject to the life interest of his wife.

His Honour also appointed a reviser, and directed the
costs of suit to be taxed and paid out of the personal estate
of the testator.

IN RE FRAZIER'S TRUST.
The testator by his will gave a gift of his property to his
wife for life, and to his daughter, Elizabeth, or her children,
if she survived her.

His Honour was of opinion that, as the gift over was in
existence, the survivor was entitled to take it, and decreed
accordingly.
The costs were provided for.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(2fflS DAY.)

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Marlin.)
THE LEATHER FRAUDS.

James Cooke was indicted for misdemeanor. The pri-
soner was one of the parties connected with the case of
Poole, the wholesale boot and shoe manufacturer, at
Northampton, who was last session found guilty of attempt-
to defraud his creditors, by concealing his property, and
also of perjury.

The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sen-
tenced to 12 months' imprisonment.

POLICE INJELLIGENCE—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBING A CONTRACTOR AT THE GREAT NORTHERN
RAILWAY.—George White, a carman in the employ of
Mr. Garnham, who is employed by Mr. Bell, a large po-
tato salesman at the Great Northern Railway, to cart_po-
*.e....., and-atcorge-warn, na nome, a—coatermonger, were
charged with stealing a sack of potatoes.

The prisoners were seen by Sergeants Boden, 11 D, and
White 16 D, to remove some potatoes in a van from a sack
bearing the name of Bell, into another, at the corner of
Wells-street, and Ward was watched into the house of
Mr. Roberts, The Boot,Wells-street ; and it appeared that
Mr. Roberts, though admitting that Ward was a perfect
stranger, had bought the sack of potatoes of Ward, giving
Bs. and some beer for them (the price of potatoes now being
about 15s. a sack.) The prisoners were then taken into
custody by the sergeants, and in Wail's pocket was found
the Bs. he had received from Mr. Roberts.

Some other evidence having been given, the prisoners, at
the request of Sergeant White, were remanded for a week.
RUPPIANLY ASSAULT BT A PUGILIST.—John Drew, a
pugilist, and Maria Johnson, a female who has been at
this court several times on different charges, were charged
before Mr. Beadoa as follows :

George Myers, 45 C, said that this morning, near Leices-
ter. square, he found the female with others creating a
great disturbance, and told her to go away, but she refused
to do so, and made use of violent language, threatening to
cat his eyes out. He tried to remove her, when the
male prisoner came up and tried to get her away, and while
in the middle of Leicester-square aimed a desperate blow at
his eye, but which struck him in the mouth. He then
seized him, and they all fell together, and while on the
ground the woman tried to bite him in a delicate part of his
person. A sergeant then came to his assistance.
Sergeant Bradley proved going to the assistance of the
last witness, and seeing the man holding him by the throat
and the woman, who was on the ground, had hold of the
constable's coat with her teeth. While conveying them to
the station, the man struck him, at the same time saying
that he was a pugilist and was trained by Nat Langham,
that no constable should take him, that he meant to have
his knee cap off, and that he had lamed two or three others
for life.

Mr. Beadon wished to know what business the prisoner
had there at the time. He was a regular thief, and it was
most likely his object was to get up a row for the purpose
of robbery. lie should commit him for a month, and the
female for seven days.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.
We had rather a busy day, and a fair amount of wager-
ing was done on both the Chester Cup and the Liverpool
Steeplechase. For the Chester Cup, Man at Arms and
Chere Arnie were each supported at 25 to 1, but it seemed
to us that there was most money for Man at Arms. Wal-
lace had friends at 100 to 3, which price would have been
taken about The Lawyer. For the Liverpool Grand
National Steeplechase, 16 to 1 each was taken about Jea-
lousy and Anatis ; and 20 to 1 each was laid and offered
against Goldsmith and The Emperor. For the Two Thou-
sand Guineas Stakes, 8 to 1 was taken and offered against
Klarikoff. Preceptress was supported freely at 10 to 1, but
no less was taken that we saw.
