The FOURTiI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
rep art. which is too lengthy or publication :
During the past year no claim have arisen from deaths in Englawl.
and but two in Ireland—one for 500/. and the other for 2001.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last

year.
The number of lives assured between the lot of June, 1849, and
the 31st of Tay, 1350, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Prop ,sass were made for 134 Policies, amounting to 52,9631. 2s. fid.:
of these 121, comrrising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,125/. G.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3'.
was received by the Company in. the sh,ipe of premiums
Since the c :mmencernent of the Company to the Ist of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. I2s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. 6d. of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,930/. 16s. 61., of which the animal premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. 11d.
since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. I Is. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de I'Etanc, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con•
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, rpproving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prosrects.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive gans. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice fer many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence. which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

DOE, DEM. BAINBRICGE v. BAINBRIGGE.

The Solicitor-General (Mr. Cockburn), Mr. Alexan-
der, Q C.. And Mr. Gray appeared for the plaintiff; Mr.
Keating, Q.C., Mr. Whitmore, and Mr. Pigot appeared
for tha deti:rlan t.

This case which occupied tho attention of the Court
from Thursday morning at 9 till half-past 11 at night,
and from Son Friday to half-past cloven at night, and
rgain from S on tilturdqy morning until half.past 11 at
night, and from 9 yesterday morning till 11 at night,
was brought to a clone at 2 o'clock to-day. It was an
action of ijectment to try the validity of a will made in

1818, the plaintiff, law, seeking to upset it
on two grounds—insanity and fraud. The case, us
opened by the Solicitor-G,Teral, was to this effect:—
The testator, Tht may B inbrigge, wss the representa-
tive of a very ancient family in Derbyshire, Warwick-
shire, and Staffordshire, and inherited considerable
estates in those counties, to which in the course of his
life he made considerable additions. In early life he
was a man of very refined and polished manners,
and moved in the best society both in Lon-
don and in the country. He became attached to a young
lady. Some difficulty arose as to a marriage settle-
ment. His tither would not consent to his marriage,
and she died. This event soured his temper, and be be-
came somewhat less fond of society than he had been,
and after his father's death retired to a seat on the bor-
ders of Sherwood Forest. This was about the year
1769. He had a servant there who was called Eliza-
beth Parker or Mrs. Betsey—a person of some attrac-
tions. She became pregnant. He believed himself the
father of her child, a daughter, who was born in Sep-
t,lmber, 1790, and was named Betsey Bainbrigge. Mrs.
Betsey did not confine her favours to her master, and
became pregnant a second time by another man. Mr.
Bainbrigge thereupon turned her off, with some allow-
ance, but kept the daughter. Betsey,. paid the greatest
attention to her -eiluestiottosrat-her--tes the best -boArd.

brought her to his scat at Woodseat, and introduced
her as his acknowledged daughter into society, where
she was very well received. In 1803, when she was

that her husband should assume the name of Bainbrigge.
Before, however, she was 17, she was got with child by
his coachman. This deeply annoyed him; and he, con-
quently, on the 15th of October, 1808, made another;
will, by which he left his estates to three trustees to sell,
and out of the proceeds to pay her an annuity of 2001.
a year, and his sister, Mrs. James, one of 1001. a year,
and to divide the surplus into three equal portions be
tween the children of his brother Joseph, of his brother!
Colonel Philip Bainbrigge, and of his sister Mrs. James. I
On the 3d of February, 1809, the child by the coach-
man was born, and was named Marianne. Though ex-1
asperated by his daughter's conduct, he allowed her and;
her child to remain in the house, and even took a fancy!'
to the child. But the daughter offended him again.
i
There was a farmer in the neighbourhood, named Ar-1
nold, who had given him offence by some dispute re-!
specting game. This man's son made up to the daugh-
ter. When he heard of it he sent her out of the way, and
positively prohibited any communication between them;
.but she eluded his vigilance, proved pregnant,
eloped with, and married Arnold. This made him l
furious. He said he would have forgiven her if she had;
married the coachman, but never would forgive her for:
marrying Arnold, and vowed he would never speak to
her, and that no child of hers by Arnold should ever in-,
heritla penny of his money. Under these feelings he
made another will on the 4th of August, 1812, whereby
ho conveyed his estates to two trustees, of whom Mr.
Blair, an attorney, of Uttoxeter, who had framed the
former will, and being one of the trustees under it, was
one, in trust, to secure to his granddaughter, instead
of his daughter, to whom he left nothing, an estate for
life, with remainder to her issue in tail, and in default
of such issue, for sale and division amongst his nephews
and nieces.. 01 the daughter he never took the slightest
notice, and her name was not allowed to be mentioned
by the servants. In 1815, he came to live in Green-
lane, Derby. Being still fond of racing and horses, he
went in August to the Derby races, and was there thrown
from his horse, and so severely injured in the head, that
be was supposed to be dying. He was immediately
bled, and drastic medicines were given to reduce the
inflammation. His daughter then made several attempts
to see him; but he would not see her, saying he knew
her object was to get his money; and that if she wanted
his forgiveness she had it, but if she wanted his money
she should not have a penny of it. When he was reco-
vering from these injuries be sent for Mr. Blair, who
was at that dine one of the most eminent and respectable
solicitors in Staffordshire, to make alterations in his will.
That gentleman came at once, and lest anything should
happen before a formal will could be drawn up, he at
once prepared a codicil, on the 11th of August, 1815, to
the will of 1812. By that will he had left his estates, in
default of issue to his granddaughter, t his nephews and
nieces generally; but by _this codicil he kir—them to
Thomas Parker Bainbrigge, the eldest son of his eecond
brother, in fee simple for ever. Mr. Blair caused a more
formal will to be executed on the 15th of August. By
that will, after directing the payment of an annuity
of 4001. a year to his sister, Mrs. James, and of 501.
io Mrs. Arnold for her life, and making provision for
the education of his granddaughter, be left to her
his estates for life, with remainder in tail to her
issue, and in default of such issue to Thomas P.
Baitibrigge, the lessor of the plaintiff, for ever. 'There
was a direction in it, as in the will of 1803, that her
husband should assume the name of Bainbrigge, and
another as to the legacy to be paid to Mrs. Arnold.
She was not to reside in Staffordshire or Derbyshire, and
not to interfere in any way with the care and custody of
her child, who was entrusted entirely to Mrs. Blair, that
lady herself being left an annuity of 1001. a year for
life in consideration of her attention to the child. More-
over, the annuity to Mrs. Arnold was not to come into
effect until the existing lease to the Arnolds should ex-
pire, and neither Arnold nor his wife, nor his father,
nor an uncle of his named Wood, was to hold any lands
but those they then held. Such was the offence given
by that fatnily, and so deeply aid it rankle in his breast.
The provision for the child's education was ample, and
.howed what consideration be then bestowed upon it.
Allowing, besides the annuity to Mrs. Blair for her ge-
neral superintendence, 200/. a year to be applied to her
education till she was 151. and 3001. till she was 21. This
was the will of 1815, on which the lessor of the plaintiff
took his stand, and claimed the estst-s. Marianne was
now dead, and the last of her children died in 1345; and
the issue in that lino being extinct, the question now
arose who was entitled to them. Mr. 'l'. I'. Bainbrigge
said that in default of the issue of Marianne the estates
came to him. That the testator was sane in 1815 would
be proved beyond question. At that time he mixed in
society, kept his house in order, his servants in livery;
was in the habit of going out to dinner; was distin-
guished by activity and intelligence as a magistrate,
his manners were polished, his language refined, and
ho was in every respect a highly-educated gentleman.
He had always a slight tendency to iceeccentrity and
irritability, which greatly increased after ho ac-
cident at Derby races, end was aggravated much by
habits of living high, and drinking a great deal of
liquor. Wine and spirits never made bins drunk,
but excited his irritability. At the close of 1815 he
removed from Green-lane, Derby, to another street
called Osmanston-street. From that time a material
change was observed in his habits, from Which it was
clear that his mind was utterly gone. His dress was so
neglected that he became a marked character. His
clothes were filthy and unclean, old and covered with lice,
and such as a beggar would not pick off a scarecrow.
He never washed himself, and the stench from him was
intolerable; his stockings were in holes; his coat out
at the elbows; his trousers broken. Ile sometimes had
a garter en one leg and none on the other; his hat was
such as the boys put on Guy Fawkes, and altogether
his appearance was such that the boys used to follow
him through the streets of Derby, crying out "Mad
Bainbrigge." His house was in keeping with his person
—dirty, filthy, filled with vermin of all kinds, and alto-
gether of a most wretched and revolting description.
When he rode out in his carriage it was unwashed and
uncleaned and covered with the dirt of the fowls which
roosted in it. His horses were not groomed, and he took
any of his farm labourers, without any change of dress, to
drive it. He once drove into Derby with a man who had
been just driving a dung cart, and in the very dress in which
he had driven it. He used to crouch so near the fire that
his coat tails were burned off. He used to go to buy his
own fish and meat, and was once met in the streets of
Derby with fish covered with blood hanging out of his
coat pockets. He was once seen bringing home a
slaughtered ox on the top of his carriage. Another
time he brought home a calf's head and pluck on the
bow of his saddle. Be wore a flannel waistcoat from
March to July without once washing it, and when re-
monstrated with on the subject, he said washing would
spoil flannel. He once made his labourers sit out in the
midst of a storm of hail and rain to make hay, and
when a coach passed by, and the passengers shouted
out " Are ye mad?" the men answered, "It is not we
that are mad, hut our master." He once suddenly gave
directions to dispossess all his tenants in the streets of
Derby, though they did not owe him a penny of rent,
and actually ejected every one of them without any
reason whatever but sonic wild fancy of his own. 110
went to the funeral of a friend, a Mr. Richard Rid-
cllesden, and some accident occurring which made his
horse restive, he swore at his coachman, and wished
him "in hell with old Dick," the friend
whom he was going to bury. When he had
some friends at dinner once, the servant brought hint a
cold plate. He ordered him to keep it at the tire till he
called for it, and when he did, and the man brought it, it
burned his (Mr. Bainbrigge's) fingers; and thereupon he
seized a roast goose that was on the table by the legs,
and
flung it after the man, and cursed and swore at him,
and leieked him out of
the room. In 1817 a lady went
up with his granddaughter "
Marianne into his budrueen,
and there saw a bottle of brandy
and a bottle of gin, and
the poker and tongs on a chair near his bed; and he told
her on several occasions th
the kept them there to pro-
tect him against the devil. He used to mutter frequently
ito hmself, " I must go to thedevil, but I am not ready
departed, yet. All religious feeling and he cursed and
