him, our countryman instantly published the following deci-

CATHERWOOD v. CASLON.

In this case, which was set down in the special paper for

it postponed until next term, on account of the inability of
the Attorney-General, who is engaged in it; from ill health, to
attend Court. The question involved is one of trim. con.
It was ultimately arranged that it should come on first for
argument on Saturday next.

LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 8. 1844.

When men who have once occupied eminent public
station depart from among us, we are naturally led
to consider what were the merits, the talents, or
the measures by which that station was attained. In
• cases, even, where a. long season of retirement has
elapsed. since they quitted their public career, and
where death has overtaken them in the privacy of
domestic seclusion, this sort of consideration forces
itself upon the minds of surviving contemporaries ;
but where the defunct has expired in actual duty—
dropping out of life from the very ranks, as it were,
of official service—the matter is one that irresistibly
challenges some such retrospect of the history of his
public life.
Within this last category, it is our lot to record the
case of the Right Hon. Lord ABINGER, late. Chief
Baron of the Exchequer, who was struck by a mortal
illness whilst attending to his judicial duties on cir-

deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the
power of objecting to any policy,. unless they undertake to prove that
it was obtained from them' by fraudulent misrepresentation. The
regulations common to all. other Life Companies, which make the
validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct-
ness of the many staternenta-TeqUired from a proposer for a Life
Policy, aid which have-given rise to almost all the questions which
have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra-judicial com-
promises, arc thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing but fraud, proved
to-havedmea committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by
this Company.

and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured.

Company considering it only just towards the assured that where
premiums have been paid for. assuring a given amount, that amount
should be paid; and they undertake to de so without reference to
the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor.

THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour
of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured,
although the debter should go beyond the limits of Europe.
The premiums calculated_ according to the Carlisle Tables, are
lower than-usual upon yoUng lives, where participation in the profits
is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the

DEATH OF LORD ABINGER.

BURY ST. EDMUND'S, APRIL 7.—Lord Abinger is
dead. His Lordship expired this day (Sunday), at pre•
cisely a quarter before two, P.M. His death was tran-
quil. Lady Abinger and his Lordship's physician left
Bury for town about six o'clock. The remains of his
Lordship Will be removed on Tuesday.
As all matters connected with the Chief Baron of the
Court of Exchequer are now subjects of history-, it may
be interesting to state that the present Lady Abinger
was formerly Mrs. Ridley, the widow of the late Rev.
Mr. Ridley, of Oekley-green, near Ripley, who,e hus-
band was a descendant of the celebrated Protestant
martyr, Bishop Ridley. .Among other relics of this
pious individual in the possession of Lady Abinger, is
the chair in which he used to study.

him-a-Name; Mr. Payne's c by Touchstone, out of Vat;
Mr. John Day's St. Lawrence. Some others are ex-
pected, and as the stables in the town are not only full
but healthy, we may anticipate a start for most of the
standing engagements; it is not likely, however, that
the Riddlesworth, or any of Lord Glawsgow's matches,
Give-him-a-Name excepted, will be run ; that between
Pergularia and Molly Mogg is also doubtful. The wea-
ther contines remarkably- fine, the course is in first-
rate order, and arrivals enoniali are reported to ensure a
good, if n t a crowded meeting. Those to whom a pr,
bunged absence from town would be inconvenieni, will be
glad to hear that the Directors of the Northern Counties
Railway have advertised special trains for the first
days of the Craven and First Spring Meetings, to start
at half-past seven in the morning, and return from
Ilockerill at half-past nine the same evening ; coaches
will be in readiness at the latter terminus to convey pas-
sengers to and from Newmarket. We recommend the
Directors to provide similar accommodation for the 9,000
Guineas, 1,000 Gwnens, and Suffolk Stakes days.

the insolvent had been " friendly" put into gaol, in
order that her property might be divided among her
creditors, instead of one creditor getting the whole
under an execution.
The insolvent DOW attended with her bail, and they
were accepted in the sum of 1501. The discharge

them is ten centinitres in width, and the smallest six ;
their height is from six to seven. The roots have nearly

SITTINGS OF THE COURT.

The present sittings have been fixed to the 11th of
May, and the Court is appointed to sit every day, two
days being devoted to bail cases. There has of late
been an increase of business; last week upwards of 40
schedules were filed. A recent decision under the
'nevi Act in the Court of Bankruptcy, will, it is ex-
pected, give an accession of business to this Court, as
it has been held that a trader who has taken the
benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act must insert his
former debts, and, as a trader, is only allowed to an
amount of 300/., very few who have been relieved
will be in a condition to avail themselves of the new
provision. There are rumours in circulation respect-
ing an amendment of the law of debtor and creditor,
and it is thought that the Government will shortly
bring forward a measure on the subject, especially in
reference to the law of insolvent debtors.

DEPARTURE OF MR. O'CONNELL FOR CORK.
DUBLIN, APRIL 6.—At three o'clock yesterday after•
noon Mr. O'Connell left his residence in Merrion-square,
for Cork, where he is to be entertained at the Munster
provincial banquet on Monday next. The Hon. Gen-
tleman was accompanied by Mr. William S. O'Brien,
M.P.; Mr. John O'Connell, M.P.; Dr. Gray, Messrs.
Thomas Steele, Richard Barrett. and the Rev. Thomas
Tierney, P.P.
The Cork Reporter of Thursday contains the follow-
ing :—" Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by Mr. John
O'Connell, will sleep in Clonmel on Saturday evening,
and will arrive in this city on Easter Sunday about four
o'clock, P.M. He will be entertained at dinner the same
evening by the Mayor, at whose residence Mr. Smith
O'Brien and a large party are invited to meet him. Let-
ters continue to be received from the most remote parts
of the province, requesting to have tickets secured, and
the dinner list is rapidly approaching the numerical ex-
tent for which accommodation is provided::
LORD DE GREY'S REPEAL MAGISTRATE.

The Nenagh Guardian, the Orange organ of the dis-
trict, recently announced that Mr. T. O'Brien had been
ordered from Nenagh to the county of Down ; and the
Newry Telegraph, the Orange organ in that county,
confirmed the announcement ; but there has been, it ap-
pears, another countermand. Ireland is Peel's difficulty,
and Mr. T. O'Brien is the difficulty of his Irish Viceroy.
In the Nenagh Vindicator of this day appears the
following:—

" Mr. Thomas O'Brien' S.M., bas been countermanded!
The Executive has sent him orders to remain where he
it until he shall resign, we suppose."
The Nenagh Guardian contains the followirig:—
" Mr. O'Brien, R.M., accompanied by a strong party
of police, was engaged on Thursday in• the protection
of a bailiff of Mr. Hill's, who was serving ejectment no-
tices in the parish of Youghal. A serious riot bad
taken place upon the previous day, in which a boy's
skull was fractured. Mr. O'Brien has taken his .dying
depositions. Mr. O'Brien left yesterday (Friday) for
the fair of Castle Otway, the usual scene of many riots."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, April 6.
Mr. Commissioner Holroyd heard a number of in-
solvent cases under the new Act
IN THE MATTER OF JOHN SLEIGH.
The insolvent, who has the charge of the telegraph
tHazelmere applied for his final order. He was
opposed on the part of a creditor named Bridger, and
supported by Mr. T. B. Hughes.
The complaint was, that the insolvent was in a con-
dition to pay his debts, and it was prayed that the
petition might be dismissed. It wai urged on his be-
half that he only wanted time, and would set aside 301.
a year for his creditors. He required protection from
law proceedings.
Mr. Commissioner Ho',not' thought that, as pay-
ment was the object in view, the case should stand
over to amend the schedule, and for the insolvent to
make a distinct proposal to pay a yearly sum.
The case was adjourned till the 11th of May, and the
" protecting order" from all legal proceedings enlarged
until that day.
