LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

APPLICATION TO COMMIT THE CHAIRMAN
OF THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COM-

PANY.

An application was made to—Vice-Chancellor Wood to
commit Mr. Parson, the chairman of the Metropolitan
Railway Company, for acting in contempt of the injunc-
tion granted by his Honour in the suit of Bloxam v. the
Company, by the declaration at the late meeting of a
dividend on the consolidated stock of 5i per cent. The
actual order made by the Vice-Chancellor on the motion
for the injunction was, that the court, being of opinion
that the charges for half payments of directors and
auditors and office expenses have been improperly
charged, on former occasions when dividends• have been
declared, to capital account, that the interest on the
difference between £1,333,000 and £449,000 is not in
any part thereof properly chargeable to capital account,
and that the statements of account issued by the directors
are founded 'on accounts making the same charges to
capital account, restrain the company and their
directors from declaring or paying any dividend except so
far as the profits and other income of the company may
be applicable- to such dividend, regard being had to
the provisions of the special Acts authorising the
several undertakings of the company and those
( f the Companies Clauses Consolidation Act. This decision
the Vice-Chancellor prefaced by a reference to the act.°
taken by the directors in connection with the contract en-
tered into with Mr. Kelk for the execution of the Tower-
hill Extension Line, by which contract it was provided that
in order to secure the punctual completion by the 31st of
December, 1867, and instead of penalties, the contractor
s'-ould till the line was completed pay the directors half-
yearly su 18 equivalent to interest upon so much of the
00, tkio hare ow:t 1 as should be called up and paid at
the rate of 5 per cent. per annum until the 31st December,
1865, and 6 per cent. for subsequent half-years until the
completion of the line, which has not been commenced ;
stating that it would be well for the directors to
reconsider the accounts, as it was clear to him
that it was not a proper thing to regard the sums
thus received from the contractor as profits from which
an income was derived. It was contended in support of
the motion to commit, that his Honour substantially
included that and another item of a somewhat similar
kind in his injunction, and that the Chairman in declaring
the di, id n 1 he (slid} ad acted up( II ac •ounts which were not
r 3ctified as the court suggested, and had thereby brought
himself into contempt. The motion also asked that the
dividend might not be paid on Saturday as intended.
The Vice-Chancellor. without hearing the other side,
decided to dismiss the motion. He certainly was
of opinion that the money received from the con-
tractor could not be regarded as profit. As, however,
it was a matter that was passed, he had refused to deal
with it in his injunction, his object being toprevent future
mischief. He reserved the question of costs,
as an appeal
is set down for hearing Lefore the Lord Chancellor.

ANOTHER DISAPPEARANCE.—Wonder and anxiety
have been raised during the past six or eight days in con-
sequence of the sudden and mysterious disappearance of
a man named William Stewart, foreman to Mr. Owens,
manure merchant. The missing man, who was a careful,
and, as far as known, trustworthy servant, attended to
his master's interest up to the evening on which he disap-
peared. After coming home and taking tea at the usual
time, he changed his clothes and went out to make two or
throe calls at friends' houses. He spent a short time with
the friends he had intended to call upon, and left one of
their houses on the east side of the town at a late hour
with the avowed intention of going home. He did not
reach home, and on inquiries being made it was ascer-
tained that he had been seen early on Sunday morning
passing his own dour on the Shore and going to the East-
pier. This led to the supposition that he had fallen into
the harbour, and repeated search has been made for him,
but without success. Stewart, it has been discovered, did
not take out his watch, which he usually carried, that
evening, but it is not known whether ho had any money
with him or not. Ho is about 45 years of age, a widower,
and has left three of a family.—Edinburgh Courant.
THE PRESENTS TO MR RASSAM.—There is no
one, we are sure, not even Dr. Beke himself, who will
not be glad to hear that Government have received an
official letter, placing it beyond all doubt, on the highest
possible authority, that the money which Mr. Rassam
was charged with improperly receiving from King Theo-
dore was at once credited by him to the State, and duly
entered as such in his public accounts, with a memoran-
dum setting forth that $6,800 were taken back by the
King when Mr. Rassam and his comrades wore imprisoned.
We never entertained a doubt upon the subject ourselves;
but we rejoice to find that the question has now been set
at rest in such a.manner as to convince the most sceptical
that the charges brought against this meritorious but un-
fortunate public servant had as little truth as generosity
in them.—Pall-mall Gazette.

THE TRAMWAY MOVEMENT iN LIVERPOOL—The
Liverpool Corporation, at their meeting yesterday, agreed
not to oppose the bill of the Liverpool Tramways Coin_
pany, if the promoters consent to the insertion of such
clauses, provisos, and amendments as may be recommended
by the officers of the corporation. Some objections were
raised yesterday ou the ground that it would be imprac-
ticable to work tramways in the crowded thoroughfares of
Liverpool ; but it appears that the company have agreed
to make the experiment at their own cost, and to remove
the rails also if the scheme is a failure. They have ar-
ranged, however, for a flange wheel, which will compel
all other companies using the line to pay a royalty. The
general feeling of the council was that if tramways could
be established without injury or inconvenience to the
public, a cheap and pleasant means of access would be
afforded to th. public parks, which are at the extreme ends
of the town. Mr. G. F. Train has written a letter of advice
to the Liverpool Corporation on the subject of tramways.
It was mentioned at the meeting yesterday, but no action
was taken upon it.
