ST. KATHERINE'S DOCK
COMPANY.

The general half-yearly meeting of the Shareholders
and Proprietors in this Company, was held at the Duck-
house, Tower-hill, yesterday, Mr. Tooke, in the Chair.
After some preliminary routine business had been
gone through, a dividend of 2i per cent. for the half-
year, ending June 30, last, was declared payable on and
after the 22d instant ; the amount of income-tax pay-
able thereon to be defrayed• by the lompany.•
A ballot was then taken for the election of Directors for
the ensuing year, when the present members of the direc-
tion were unanimously re-elected. In consequence of the
Act of Incorporation only requiring a statement of ac.
counts to be submitted once a year—namely, at the
January meeting—no formal report was read, but the
Chairman stated that the affairs of the Company were in
a most prosperous and flourishing condition. After a
vote of thanks to the Chairman and Directors; and to Sir
John Hall, the Secretary to the Company, for the succes-
tul management of the interests committed to his care,
the meeting separated.

IMPEItiAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, July 16.
CASE OF MR. O'DRISCOLL.

Earl FORTESCUE then rose to move for information
respecting the grounds upon which Mr. Alexander
O'Driscoll had been restored to the commission of the
peace. Mr. O'Driscoll was a magistrate in the county
of Cork. It appeared that, while out hunting, he
saw two or three boys on a portion of his land, who
upon seeing Mr. O'Driscoll, run away. Mr. O'Driscoll
pursued them and overtook one of the boys, upon IN hom
he inflicted severe punishment with his whip. The
matter was brought h.fors, the other magistrate°, and
Mr. O'Driscull was fined £2 and costs. Upon this
decision being announced, Mr. O'Driscoll declared
that his brother magistrates had not done him justice,
.and some altercation ensued, and the result was that the
matter was brought under the consideration of the Lord
Chancellor of Ireland, and Mr. O'Driscoll was dismissed
from the magistracy, but was ultimately reinstated in the
commission of the peace. It was respecting this restora-
tion that he (Earl Fortescue) moved for information.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE did not think the Noble Earl
had laid any Parliamentary grounds for the production
of papers relating to this case. He would not, however,
meet the case upon technical grounds. He thought it
would be evident to every one who had read the letters
that had passed between the parties in this case, that
much exaggeration had taken place. There could be no
doubt that the boy in question had been made a tool of
in order to get up a case against Mr. O'Driscoll. There
could be no doubt that Mr. O'Driscoll had bee❑ guilty of
excessive warmth of temper. It would, however, be
remembered that he was interrupted in his field sports,
by a lot of boys, and their Lordships must all feel how
very annoying it was to be treated in the way these
boys had treated Mr. O'Driscoll.—(Laughter.) Mr.
O'Driscoll was, however, removed from the bench ; but,
after having been suspended for some time,. the Magis-
trates of the county memorialised the Lord-Lieutenant,
praying for his restoration to the commission of the
peace. After this it was not thought that Mr. O'Dris-
coll was unfit to hold a seat on the bench of magistra►es,
and he was therefore reinstated in the commission of the
peace. lie (Lord Wharncliffe) must, therefore, resist
the motion.

The Marquis of NORMANDY was surprised at the
speech which the Noble Lord had just delivered. lie
totally differed from his Noble Friend when he said that
no Parliamentary ground had been laid fur the produc-
tion of the papers. The facts stated by his Noble Friend
(Earl Fortescue) had not been at all contradicted, nor
had it been attempted to meet them any way ; and
therefore he said that ample ground had been shown for
the motion which his Noble Friend had made. With
these facts before him, he (the Marquis of Normanby)
would never have restored such a man us Mr. 01)riscoll
to the bench, and lie referred to the course which he
had taken when in office with respect to the case of
Colonel Verner.

Lord WHARNCLIFFE said, if the Noble Earl very
much wished for the production of these papers, hs wuuld
produce them.—(Hear, hear.)
The Earl of RIPON would not defond the conduct of•
