VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 22. GLASSE V. MARSHALL AND THE EAST-INDIA COMPANY.. The argument on behalf of the plaintiff in support of the injunction he had obtained to restrain the defendant from receiving the amount of certain East-India bonds, and the East-India Company from paying them to any other person than the plaintiff, was continued.

Mr. BETHELL, who was counsel for the plaintiff, insisted that the language of the 4th sect. of the 51 Geo. 3, c. 64, made it indisputably clear that the analogy which had been attempted to be established between the bonds of the East-India Company and negotiable instruments could not be maintained. The form of the instrument itself was also an argument in favour of this construction, as it declared that no action should be brought, for either principal or interest, without twelve months' notice, both on the side of the Company and the holder of the bond. He submitted that the effect of the statute amounted to no more than this, that the bonds of the Company should be capable of being transferred by delivery of the possession. The assignment or transfer could only be such as was legal; for surely no intention so absurd could be attributed to the Legislature as that of compelling the East-India Company to pay the money secured by the bond to any one who might happen to find it in the street, or become possessed of it by fraudulent means. The statute could only refer to a lawful delivery of the bond by the bona fide holder. Upon the case made by the affidavits in support of the injunction, it was alleged that there had been no lawful delivery of the bonds, and therefore the title remained to be inquired into. Of the jurisdiction of the Court to grant an injunction in such a case, no doubt could be entertained. It was shewn on the affidavits that the plaintiff had given notice to the Company not to pay the principal or the interest upon the bonds to the defendant, or any one else than the plaintiff, and the Company had refused to accept such notice. The Company had, therefore, been brought here of their own accord to establish the validity of their refusal to act on the notice, and they had voluntarily placed themselves in a situation, both as to the law and the circumstances of the case, to leave the Court no alternative but to make the injunction to restrain the payment of the bonds extend to them.

Mr. SPEED, on the same side, contended that the only object of the 51 Geo. 3, c. 64, was to give a legal effect to the right which the bondholder had before the statute of assigning the bond by delivery and indorsement. The assignee had all the rights, both legal and equitable, of the original holder. But the Court must have regard, in putting a construction upon the statute, to the circumstances under which the instrument had passed to the present holder. If the bond had been stolen or obtained by fraud, it could not be said the holder was the assignee under the statute. The assignee could only be the bona fide holder; and in this case, the bonds had never been "assigned and transferred" to Mrs. Marshall. He denied the analogy between East-India bonds and Bank of England notes. A bank-note was a legal tender for any sum beyond £5,—it was considered as money, but the bonds of the Company were nothing more than securities for money. As such securities, the jurisdiction of the Court to restrain their circulation could not be disputed. And, admitting them to be securities that were negotiable, the holder had no better title than the indorsee of a bill of exchange. He could not understand how the value of the bonds could be depreciated by the interference of the Court to prevent immediate payment, as it would be much more prejudicial to the securities if the Court were to decide that, when they fell into the hands of a fraudulent holder, it could give no protection to the party to whom they lawfully belonged. Mr. STUART having replied,

The VICE-CHANCELLOR (Sir L. SHADWELL) said that, of the general right of the Court to interfere by injunction in such a case as this, he had no doubt whatever. The Court could always exercise a jurisdiction in cases of fraud; and, unless the words of the Act of Parliament in this case were so precise and cogent as to take it away, that jurisdiction must remain. His Honour did not see any thing in the Act which expressly declared that the Company should be liable to pay the bonds in whosoever hands they might be, or by whatever means they might have been obtained. It could not be the right construction of the Act to say that, if A came to the East-India Company with bonds in his hand, and B knocked him down and took them away, payment should be made to B, and not to A. The case, as originally represented on the plaintiff's affidavits, was a case of fraud; and that case bad not yet been met. He did not wish to make the observation harshly pressing on Mrs. Marshall. There might be a good reason why the thing was not explained, but the possible explanation remained to be given, and the Court, in the meantime, could only act upon the facts before it.

It appeared that the plaintiff and his wife chose to live in a sort of amicable separation. Personally they could not agree, but they appeared to live peaceably enough when they were absent from each other. In October, 1844, the lady died, and the affidavits represented that Mrs. Marshall, who lived in a separate dwelling, came to the house where her mother had resided, and, without a shadow of legal right, possessed herself of all that had belonged to her mother, including a number of East-India and Dutch bonds. The plaintiff, her father, took out administration to his wife, and made an application to the Court that his daughter might be restrained from parting with the bonds, and that the East-India Company might be also restrained from paying the moneys secured by the bonds to Mrs. Marshall or any other person than the plaintiff. Nobody doubted that the injunction as regarded Mrs. Marshall was right, and it appeared to his Honour that it was the duty of the Court to interfere. He admitted that, when a party obtained an injunction that was too large in its terms, he would have to indemnify the party against whom it was granted by the payment of costs to the extent of the injury arising from the injunction being too large; and, if the parties could agree on the fact that part of the bonds were parted with before the injunction was granted, it might be very well to dissolve the injunction as to them; but, at present, the Court had no evidence before it on which it could proceed as to this part of the case. With reference to an observation of counsel, that the Finance Committee of the East-India Company were apprehensive that the value of East-India bonds would be depreciated by the operation of an injunction of this sort, his Honour was of opinion that, though the Finance Committee, who were gentlemen eminently competent in matters of finance, might think that the bonds were of more value because in the event of their being stolen the thief might receive the money instead of the lawful owner, yet there were other persons who might consider the bonds to be of greater value if the thief could not obtain immediate payment, and the money was secured to the person to whom it properly belonged. Unless, however, his Honour, had some better evidence as to which of the bonds had been parted with by Mrs. Marshall, he should continue the injunction as it stood, and reserve for the present the consideration of the question of costs.

DECEMBER 4.

His Honour (Sir L. SHADWELL) observed, that a letter had been written to him by Mrs. Marshall relating to this case, which had recently been argued before him, and also enclosing two other letters, which appeared to have been addressed to the late Duke of York and Sir Herbert Taylor, and returned to her; but how a returned letter could prove the truth of the thing contained in it his Honour could not see. He should adopt his uniform course of banding the letters to the counsel on the other side.

Mr. BETHELL said he was happy to inform the Court the matter had been arranged between the parties.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 24.
(Sittings in Banco.)

*THE QUEEN v. HENRY NEEDHAM SCROPE SHRAPNELL.
This was a criminal information, under the 49 Geo. 3, against
the defendant, for having endeavoured, by certain written commu-
nications, to induce Sir Henry Willock and General Robertson,
being directors of the East-India Company, to enter for pecu-
niary considerations into a corrupt contract with the defendant
for the sale of one or more offices, which were in the gift, or
under the patronage, and within the influence, of Sir Henry Wil-
lock and General Robertson, or their immediate friends. The
defendant pleaded guilty.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL now moved that he be brought up for the judgment of the Court. There were four separate informations against the defendant, founded respectively upon letters which he had written to Lady Willock, Mrs. Plowden, General Robertson, and the general's wife.

Upon the part of the defendant an affidavit was read, which stated that, at the time of writing the letters in question, he was labouring under acute mental distress and excitement, arising from the death of his father and the derangement of his affairs, and losses consequent thereon; that in such state of mind he wrote the letters complained of, in the desperate hope of retrieving his affairs, but was not aware that in so doing he was committing an indictable offence, either in respect to the act of solicitation itself, or the nature of the office which he attempted to procure by such means; that although he wrote the letters in question, yet he never took any other steps in furtherance of the purpose, and that the letters were in fact posted during his temporary absence at Boulogne-sur-Mer, but

[blocks in formation]

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom were the SolicitorGeneral and Mr. Pollock) addressed the Court, and said that although the directors of the East-India Company did not wish to press with any severity upon the defendant upon the present occasion, yet they could not but feel that it was their duty to bring the case before the Court, with a view to protect against all improper interference the source of the extensive patronage which they possessed for the benefit of the public, and which it so much concerned the public itself to preserve pure and undefiled. The defendant had already suffered considerable imprisonment, and had endured some other misfortunes of a personal and family nature, into which he (the Attorney-General) would

not enter.

Mr. CORNER having addressed the Court upon the part of the defendant, and having dwelt upon the mitigatory circumstances connected with the defendant's conduct, concluded by suggesting that the justice of the case would be sufficiently answered by calling upon his client for the present to give security that he would come up for judgment at any future occasion upon which the prosecutors might think proper to require that he should do so. The learned counsel expressed a hope that this last suggestion would receive the assent of the counsel for the prosecution. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL said that, having already recommended the defendant to the mercy of the Court, he should neither oppose the proposal nor consent to it, but leave the case altogether in the hands of their lordships.

The Court having consulted together for about a quarter of an hour,

Mr. Justice WILLIAMS proceeded to deliver the judgment of their lordships, and having dwelt upon the very serious nature of the offence, adverted to the fact of the prosecutors having so strongly recommended the defendant to mercy. The Court was, in such circumstances, unwilling to act with a greater degree of rigour towards the defendant than seemed to be required by the prosecutors themselves. It was, however, impossible for the Court not to see how important it was to the public interests that the exercise of the right of appointing to the offices in question should be free, impartial, and incorrupt, or how serious was the offence of endeavouring to procure such appointments upon corrupt considerations. Although the Court, therefore, was desirous of giving every possible effect to the merciful intimation which had been expressed, they felt bound by a sense of their duty to the public to sentence the defendant to a serious degree of punishment. The sentence of the Court, therefore, was, that the defendant be imprisoned in the Queen's prison for the space of four calendar months.

MISCELLANEOUS.

THE SONS OF CALEDONIA IN INDIA.-The anniversary dinner of the Scottish Hospital took place at the London Tavern, on St. Andrew's-day. THE CHISHOLM in the chair. Dwarkanauth Tagore and Mohun Lal were present. On their healths being drunk, DWARKA NAUTH TAGORE, in acknowledging the compliment, commenced by apologizing for his inadequacy sufficiently to express his feelings of gratitute for the kind manner in which his health had been drunk. When three years ago he was in this country, he received the honour of the freedom of the City of Edinburgh, an honour which any man might well be proud of. Although, therefore, he was a stranger to the present party, he was really one of themselves. His connection with Scotchmen dated from an early period of his life. The little education he had received in the English language was derived from Scotchmen. He was brought up in business by Scotchmen, and all his fortune and property in India had been left in the hands of To Scotchmen; in fact, all his partners were Scotchmen. Scotchmen the people of India were deeply indebted; their subscriptions had established the College at Calcutta, where 1,500 boys are annually educated; and every Indian must feel the obligations of gratitude he owed to Scotland. But while that was a meeting of Scotchmen, he could not forget that India had derived the greatest benefit from the whole British nation; their influence had relieved the native population from the hand of Mahomedan tyranny, and they now enjoyed by law the same rights and privileges which Englishmen did in their own country. When kindly invited to attend that festival, he had promised to do so, unless he were turned out of the country by the severity of the climate. He was glad that he had been enabled to fulfil his promise, and that the occasion was one of so charitable a character. MOHUN Lat returned thanks in an appropriate speech,

IMPORTATION OF COOLIES INTO JAMAICA. According to the Morning Journal, it will require, on the lowest calculation, one hundred thousand pounds per annum of additional taxation to supply this island with six thousand coolies per year." For our own part," it remarks, "we think the measure of coolie immigration so fraught with absurdity and injustice, and so unlikely to confer any permanent benefit on the country, that we are sut prised to find men of experience and reflection at all favourable to it."-Baptist Herald.

EGYPT. The Pasha, who has for a long period talked of dissolving the Egyptian Transit Company, and taking the conveyance of passengers into his own hands, has formally announced to Col. Barnett his definitive intention to do so.-Times.

RELIC FROM THEBES.-The museum of Belfast is about to become the depository of an interesting relic of the 18th dynasty. Sir James Emerson Tennent has brought down from Thebes the hand of the colossal

B.C, 1580), which travellers used to remanmunoph 11. (born to remark at the south-west propylon of the Grand Temple of Karnuk. The four fingers are 2 feet 5 inches across, which would correspond with a fulllength figure of 56 feet. The Pasha has permitted its exportation, and it is intended as a present to the town of Belfast by their late representative.

LORD METCALFE.-We are happy to find that the health of the Governor-General is improving. The Montreal Herald of the 13th gives the following official bulletin (signed, James Crawford, M.D., Robert L. M'Donnell, M.D.):-"The health of his Excellency the Governor-General has for some time been steadily improving, and he continues to take an airing Idaily in his carriage, when the weather permits."

COTTON CULTURE IN INDIA. We are glad to observe the frequent notice which has been taken in the papers of the last two or three weeks of the important subject of cotton culture in India. One or two of the parties, whose letters have been published, have thrown out the opinion that the Anti-Slavery Society was about to take the lead, or at all events an active part, in the formation of a company for promoting this object. It is proper, perhaps, that we should say there is no foundation for such an expectation. An effort of this sort would be altogether, and very widely, remote from the proper objects of that society. The committee, however, are deeply interested in the subject, and ready at all times to do whatever they can consistently do in relation to it.-Anti-Slavery Reporter.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.-We understand that Mr. Waghorn is now actively engaged in preparing for the trials of the Trieste route, as regards time, against that by Marseilles, and that a meeting of the London East-India and China Association will shortly take place, in order that the merchants of the City may choose the six months in summer and winter to practically settle all doubts on the subject of the present superiority of the Trieste route.-Times.

ACCIDENT TO MRS. WAGHORN.We regret to state that Mrs. Waghorn, the wife of Lieut. Waghorn, met with an accident last week, by which she received a compound fracture of one of her legs. The accident occurred on the way from her residence at Snodland to Strood, in a four-wheeled carriage, driven by the man servant, when the horse shied at a donkey in the road, and started off. The servant begged his mistress to keep her seat, telling her he should be able to pull the horse up; but she became alarmed, threw herself out, and thus unfortunately met with the accident.-Ibid.

SIR HENRY POTTINGER, while her Britannic Majesty's Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary in China, presented a silver eup, weighing upwards of 130 ounces, to Capt. W. Warden, commanding the East-India Company's steam-frigate Queen, in the China seas, as a special token of his regard and esteem for his services at that time. The cup has recently arrived in this country by a ship from Calcutta, and bears an inscription of the particulars of the names of the giver and the recipient, and the cause of its presentation; and an application has been made to Government for its delivery free of duty, which has been com plied with.

attention of the nobility, gentry, and medical profession, to the following description of their Patent Pneumatic Syringe, feeling assured that the long standing of their house, and the respectable manner they have always endeavoured to conduct their ba siness, will be a sufficient guarantee that they would not bring such an article before the public unless they were fully satisfied of its real merit and the general approval of the faculty.

The superiority of aqueous injections gently ad. ministered over every other means of relieving the bowels, has been for a long time universally acknow. ledged by the faculty, but owing to

The complicated nature of instruments hitherto
used for this purpose,

The trouble attending their application,
The inconveniences and occasional ill-effects con-
sequent upon their mal-application, and
Their extreme liability to get out of order, have
caused the indiscriminate use of aperient medi
cines.

The Patent Enema now offered to the public is entirely free from all these objections, being of so simple a construction that it can be used by any person without risk of failure.

The pump being quite distinct from the injecting pipe, no fluid can pass through it, therefore no clogging or corrosion can take place.

The instrument is thus at all times clean, in perfect order, and fit for immediate use.

When worked with a moderate force, according to the directions given, it injects the fluid in an uninterrupted and well-sustained stream, free from all violence; but should occasion require it, the force can be increased.

From the facts that no air can pass with the fluid injected and that no fluid can by possibility escape from the apparatus, it admits of being used in almost any position, and is therefore of the greatest advantage and comfort to those who may require the administration of an Enema during an illness, or who may be otherwise confined to their beds; and, from the construction of the instrument, no undur This Company offers the advantages of the gua- force can be applied during its application, even by rantee of an ample subscribed capital-of permission those who may be careless or ignorant of the illto retain one-third of the first five premiums in the effects but too frequently occurring from the use of hands of the assured, as a debt against the policy-the commo Enema Syringe. of ascending, descending, and other scales of miums of participation in profits, or of as low a scale of premiums as is consistent with safety, to those who choose to forego participation in profits.
