COURT OF CHANCERY, MARCH 23.
REAL DEL MONTE MINE.
KINDKR V. TAYLOR AND OTHERS. •
Mr. SUADWELL addressed his Lordship. He stated.
that the defendants ha filed a demurrer, grounded
upon, amongst other things, want of parties in this
cause, an.l that there was not any provision in the deed
to en.kblehim to sue the Directors.
The Loam CIIANCILLLOS having requested that the Bill might be

opened,
NI r. BICIOPIZSTAFF stated, that the Bill prayed that
the plaintiff might be declared to be entitled to his full
proportion-of shares in the Bolanos Company ; that the
Directors do make out an account of the profits of the
Company ; that the Company may be dissolved if ne-
cessary;, and that the defendants may be restrained
from disposing of any shares in the Bolanos Company,
and that the lunJs of the Company, or the officers or
servants, may not he directed to the purposes of the
Bolanos Company.
The LORD Criaucatura thought that Mr. S.hadwell should state
the grounds of his demurrer.
Mr. FIRMA/ objected to this, en Which
The SOLICITOK-GENZRAL proceeded, and began with
the question, whether this Society came within 6 Geo.
I. ? as in that event Mr. Kinder could not seek relief,
arid that was the preliminary question. The plaintiff
complained that the deleudaiits had deprived him of
part of the property of the Del Monte Company.
The Loan Coarecamou—How many shares are there ?
Mr. SHADWELL stated there were 500, ,and two of
them were left for Captain Vetch.
The Loan Craarecasson—The deed must be produced, or the
Court would not interfere, the parties being therein described, ge-
nerally, to be of the second part. The sigdatures would expLiio
who were the prisons composing that party.
Mr. Souctroa-GINZRAL resumed, and stated, that
the substance of the deed wa., that there were to be
500 shares of 4001. each, and that the capital was to
be 200,0001. with a further provision to raise the sum
of 50,0001. that in this deed the Company has assimi-
lated itself to the East India Company. The Commit-
tee of Management are called Directors ; their meet-
ings are called Courts, and those of the Proprietors at
large are called Assemblies. Now, did this Company,
or did it not, pretend to act- as a Corporation ? The
provisions of the deed were very material to the inves-
Ligation of the question. After some further legal ar-
gement, the Solicitor-General concluded by repeating,
that• this Company was neither mischievous nor inju-
rious, nor did it act as a Corporation.
The Court rose at half-past twelve, the Cnancau.os being sum-
rimed to attend the Council to receive the Rucisaima's Report.
The case was adjourned to Frisby,.
Via...CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MARCH, 22.
lIALTPT 4. RUSSZLL•
His Hamra gave judgment in this case, in which
he stated, that the Master to whom the cause stood re-
ferred bad disallowed certain voluntary payments made
by an executor to creditors after the bill had been filed,
on the ground that the Court would not permit such
voluntary payments to be made; to this disallowance,
however, the executor took exceptions, and the Counsel
relied on the case of Dalston v. Lord Orford, in which'
it Was at first decided, that such payments could not'
be made; but the House of Lords afterwards reversed
that decision, and held that an executor could make
such voluntary'payments. This decision seemed diame-
trically opposed to the ruling principle, that equality
is equity; still it being the judgment Of the House of
Lords, however much his Ifonour might think such a
decision should not have been made, however much he
might look upon it as being quite inconsistent with the
general doctrines of equity, yet he was bound by the
decision of Dalston v. Orford, and, therefore, he was
compelled to allow the exceptions taken in this case.

The Theatre at Washington does not appear to be
much encouraged, although the performers are gene-
rally respectable. Romeo and Jaliet was announced
for Wednesday evening last, but owing to the audience
UM being numerous enough, the house was closed for
the night. This is the second instance of the kind which
has lately occurred at this Theatre. The Circus was
open every evening, and well filled.--ilmerican Paper.
Tuesday evening, about eight o'clock, a fire broke
out in the stabling of the Bush Inn, Staines, the origin
of which is at present unknown. The stables were
razed to the ground, and twelve post and coach horses
were destroyed. The dwelling-house and offices sus-
tained no injury.
Friday se'anight, an Inquest was held at the Red
Lion, in Mumbl, on the body of a young woman,
named Bradshaw. The catastrophe was occasioned by
some soot setting fire to a beam in the dwelling ; the
house being thatched, the whole was in flames immedi-
ately. Tile father of the family had only time to get
out some young children, and the eldest daughter be-
ing on the chamber floor when the roof fell in, she was
enveloped in the burning materials, and burnt to a cin-
der. Verdict—Accidental Death.
We have authority to state, that she singular Story,
which we extracted from the Constitutionnei, on the
15th instant, purporting to be taken from the Geneva
Gazelle relative to Lady N. STIRNBZRO, and the CIII•
APPINt family, is altogether destitute of truth. We
regret that the story should have given pain to a most
respectable family in this country, and in Tuscany; and
we trust that those Newspapers which copied the state.
went from us, will also copy this contradiction.
HaNRY VIII. after the death of JANZ SZYMOVIti had
some difficulty to get another wife. His first offer was
to the Duchess Dowager of MILAN ; but her answer is
said to have been, that- she had but one head ; if she
had had two, one should have been at his service.
