THE SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY THE All‘V°
OF LIVERPOOL. Aat
Mr. CROMPTON resumed his argument to-u---:101--,
case, which was part heard on Friday last, antl-113nietY°:
the important question was raised, whether the 111-ooftato

borough of Liverpool, under the provisions of thcAct,
Bth Victoria, c. 112, the Merchant Seamen's ;),•stcot:
payable to the treasurer of the borough fUnd oftnsthea
poration, under the Municipal Corporation Act, to
6th William IV., c. 76, or ought to be handed overtiool
Seamen's Hospital Society, pursuant to the dire c 0.14 c
the 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 112. The clause under wliltl
the defendants claim the penalties in question4iei re'
amounted to £655 Gs. 4d., enacted that all Pen
covered in any borough under any act then in ex's' yob'
which should thereafter pass, and which should bellscept
to the Crown, or any corporation, or any individnalher,
the informer, should be paid to the treasurer of tz'pt
rough in which the same should be inflicted, elscise'
such penalties as arose under any act relating to the
or
Customs, or Post-office, or to trade or nav'gation the
department of the revenue. The plaintiffs (13;1°,0 re;

that the 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 112, was not an to tbs',

was opposed to the argument of the defendants e)on os
first point, it was unnecessary to deliver any °Pin, 0;c
