A JUDGE'S LODGINGS.—The following extraordinary
complaint was made by Mr. Justice Maule, at Gloucester,

on Tuesday se'nuight. At the rising of the Nisi Prius
Court, in the afternoon on the above day, Mr. Justice
Maule intimated, that whilst he was anxious to expedite
the business of the Assizes, the Court would not open for
business before half-past nine each morning, that extra
half-hour being requisite for him to travel from Chelten-
ham, where he was obliged to go each evening, finding it
impossible to. sleep in the unventilated, undrained, foetid
dog-hole which the liberality of the magistrates of Glou-
cester had provided for lodgings for her Majesty's Judges
of Assize. People of robust health might struggle through
these inconveniences without risk to their lives, but he
was obliged to seek in an inn at Cheltenham that accom-
modation which was denie&him in that city.

been that the twelve directors who refused the ballot are
filling a place in which they ought not to be. His Honour
then referred to the proceedings at the meetings which
were held in February and March last, when a general
meeting attempted to exercise those powers, the-existence-
of which had been so often referred to, but in vain. And

has been tried and found unavailing ? After that failure
nothing was left but an application to the courts of jus-
tice. His Honour apprehended- that every single share-
holder had a personal interest that the affairs of the com-
pany should be carried on in accordance with the provi-
sions of the act, and that no persons should arrogate to
themselves a mode of dealing with the company which
should virtually set them. above the act of parliament.
His Honour was also of opinion that the bill would not
have been sustainable if the company in its incorporate
canacitv had not been made a party to. it. There was no

substanbal difference laetween an act of mischievousness
and as injurious passiveness on the part of the company.
The conduct of the directors was the foundation of the
complaint, and the inertness of the company wl
son for coming to the court for relief. With ref

what was urged that the proper reliet might be had upon The never-fitiling effects of Blair's Gout and
