COURT OF KINGS BENCH, MAY |.
Mdnddmus to the Governor ana Ds,ccto.S Of
the Bank Of England.
AT the sitting of the Court, Sir 4. Pig
go't SAID that rule had just been put
ihto MS hands for mdmdamus command
ing the governor aud Director of the
Bank Of England TO proceed to divide a
mong all the members of the corporation
all profits previous to the 10th March
last. The rule had been obtained on the
lastday OF the sitting o fthe court, yesterday
being holyday at the Bank, as well rs
IN Westminstcr-hall: and as il was drawn
up Tor Tomorrow, it was obvious that the
Bank could not be prepared with an an
swer by that day. The application was
made OIL the affidavit of :: Mr.. Gundry,
which he (Sir A. PiggotD had not yet had
time to read, much less TO consider what
answer it required. The bank might be
called upon 10 give it some reply, to OBJ
tam information, or TO communicates some
to the court. The Interval between the
present and the next term was very short,
as 1t commenced on the Odd inst. and tie
bank would, no doubt, be ready to shew
cause against the rule OH the third day of
the term. the 25ih of May. The circum-
stances were such, that it might be said
that the rule enlarged itself.
Lord Peterborough acquieSced, and adj
ded, that 1t was easy TO conjecture that
the bank could not be prepared with AN
answer by Tomorrow.
Sir A. Piggott observed, that the motion
was one of extreme novelty: the bank of
England had existed for 1913 years, and
this was the first application of the kind
ever made against it.
Ii was then ordered that the rule should
be enlarged until the 25th inst tile bank
undertaking 10 file such affidavitS as were
necessary, aweek before the day appoint
ed for showing cause.
