LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MARCH 7.
THE ARIGNA COMPANY.
intoonvw AND OTHERS CONGREVE AND OTHERS.
Mr. HORNE stated that in this case a bill was filed
to compel the defendants to transfer the sum of
11,000/. stock into the hands of the plaintiff's, or
such persons as they should appoint for the purpose
of receiving it. The circumstances of the ease were
these :-71n 1525 the Arigna Company was esta-
blished as a Joint Stock Company, by an Act of
Parliament, which settled the constitution of the
Company, and provided, amongst other things, for
the security of the public, that a sum of not less
than 10,000/. stock should be invested in the names
of three persons as trustees; Mat such a sum should
fotm the capital of the Company, and should never
be broken in upon, but that it should be augmented,
and the dividends arising from it be applied to no
other purpose than the payment of the debts of the
Company, until such of their capital amounted to
upwards of 20,000/., when the dividends might be
applied to their general trading purposes. The fund
had been provided, and the persons in whose name
it was invested were the defendants, Sir William
Congreve, Major-General Joseph APLean, and Mr.
Joseph Clarke. The plaintiffs were original Direc-
tors of the Company, and Mr. Brogden was now
appointed the Chairman. They sought to have the
money transferred to their names, or to the names of
such other persons as the shareholders should ap-
point. Sir William Congreve and General M'Lean
refused to make the transfer. The third defendant
(Mr. Joseph Clarke), it was- understood, made no
opposition to it. Mr. Horne was not aware that
any opposition could be made to having it trans-
ferrsd to the Accountant-General.
Mr. SUDDEN appeared in support of the application.
The VICE CIRNCELLOR inquired what opposition
could be made to the application
Mr. LOWNDES, en the part of Sir William Con-
greve, really entertained doubts as to the power of
his clients to make the transfer required, and also
as to the power of the plaintiffs to give sufficient in-
demnities.

Mr. HORNE said, the question now before the
Court was, not whether they should he compelled to
transfer the money into the name of the plaintiffs, but
whether it should be transferred to the Accountant-
General of that court.
Mr. PIIILLIMORE appeared in behalf of Mr. Joseph
Clarke. His client was anxious to be considered
as not opposing the transfer of the money, and as
only being desirous of obtaining adequate security.
The VICE CHANCELLOR said, that the order of
that Court was a sufficient indemnity. His Honour
then gave directions that the sum of 11,000/. should
be transferred to the Accountant-General of the
Court, and that the dividends should be paid into
the hands of Messrs. Bosanquet and Puller, the
bankers to the company, as suggested on the part
of the plaintiffs.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MARcir 7.
DALE AND OTHERS V. NELSON AND OTHERS.

This was an action by the owners of a vessel call-
ed the Calypso, a collier, against the owners of the
ship the Recovery, to recover the value of the plain-
tiffs' ship and her cargo, which it was alleged had
been lost in consequence of a collision between her
and the defendants' vessel, through the negligence of
those on board the latter vessel.

It appeared that the plaintiffs' vessel, the Calypso,
in October, 1826, was on her way to London from
North Shields, when at the mouth of the Thames,
near a sand bank called Maplin, she met the defend-
ants' vessel, the Recovery, proceeding from London
on her voyage to Archangel. The plaintiffs' vessel
was laden, but the defendants' was empty, or nearly
so. The wind was blowing north, and therefore, in
the passage of the vessels through the Channel, be-
tween the Maplin Sand and another called the Mouse
Sand, was equally favourable for both, though com-
ing in opposite directions. To windward of the
Calypso was another vessel, called Mantura, which
was nearly abreast of them. In passing through the
Channel, the Calypso and the Recovery came in col-
lision, and the result was, that the Calypso had a
large hole made in her through which the water
rushed in. Before the two vessels could be disen-
tangled, the bowsprit of the Recovery was obliged
to be cut away, and when the vessels were finally
disengaged, the Calypso drifted away, and in the
course of a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes
went to the bottom.

Mr.
Mr.
Mr.

The above was the general outline of the case.
The evidence was voluminous and conflicting. Ac-
cording to the plaintiffs' witnesses, the Recovery,
when first seen by the persons on board the Calypso,
was steering as if she meant to go between the Man-
tura and the Calypso. The latter, therefore, in order
to give her more room to do so, steered to leeward,
but the Recovery, when within a short distance of
the Calypso, suddenly altered her course, and also
steered to the leeward, by which the two vessels
were brought in contact. There was no evidence
on the part of the defendants that the Recovery had
any one on the watch. It was, however, contended,
on their part, that according to a custom among
mariners, the Recovery was bound to steer to lee-
ward as she had done.

Captain Parrv, Admiral Sir Richard King, Ad-
miral Digby, and Captain Couch, and several other
Naval Officers, spoke to the custom above al-
luded to.

Lord TENTERDEN recapitulated the principal facts
to the Jury, who immediately found a verdict fut•
the plaintiffs for an average loss.
The trial occupied the whole day. The Court
was filled with officers and others in the navy,. in-
cluding a great part of the crews of the two vessels
the Calypso and Recovery. Captain Parry, Ad-
miral Sir Richard King, and Admiral Digby, occu-
pied a seat immediately under the bench.

mansion in the Regent's-park will tempt Lady MoacAN
to abandon her native city, where her social qualities, t,
less than her literary celebrity, are of material advantage.
_of all those in the present day who have enriched the
annals of British literature, from the stores of native Irish
talent, Lady MoRGAN has alone remained at home to do
the honours of Irish literature, and, we trust, for the
sake of the country to which (to borrow from the eulogy
passed on her by her celebrated countryman), "she has
devoted the splendid efforts of her mind, and the fine feel-
ings of her heart,"—that she will long continue to do so,
in spite of the temptation held out to her by her spirited
Morni»p Register.
