(LIMITED).-The AttorneyGeneral and Swanston appeared in support of an application on behalf of Mr. Oakes and Mr. Peek for a rehearing of the motion to take their names off the list of contributories on the ground that they had been induced by fraudulent misrepresentations of the directors to take shares in this company, that motion having been refused by the V. C., who decided that, whatever case the shareholders had for claiming relief against the directors, they were bound in the first instance to pay the claims of the creditors of the company. One of the grounds of the present application was, that since the V. C. pronounced his judgment the applicants had discovered that there was a material variation between the prospectus and the memorandum of association. - Sir Roundell Palmer, Q. C., Mellish, Q. C., and Roxburgh, Q. C. appeared for the official liquidators. -Cole, Q. C. and C. L.

The bill had been filed for a declaration that the plaintiffs were entitled to a lien upon the ship Edward Cardwell.

C., Robinson, and Rowcliffe appeared in the case. KELLY v. BEYFUS.-Swanston, for the plaintiff, moved to restrain Messrs.

After Webb's death, Shapcott gave notice of his incumbrance. The Commissioner ordered a sale of the policy in Dec. 1866, and the question was whether the policy was in the order and disposition of the bankrupt as the true owner so as to entitle the assignee to it as against Shapcott.-Langley for the assignee; W. Pearson for Shapcott.-The VICE-CHANCELLOR, after reviewing the cases, decided that Shapcott's contention failed, and that the fund must be paid to the assignee. Re OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO. (LIMITED), ex parte WARD. -The question on this summons was whether the name of Charles Ward should be put upon the list of contributories in the winding-up of this company, the point being whether official liquidators under a winding-up under the supervision of the court are empowered to enter the name of a transferee of shares on the register of shareholders, the transfer being executed and the money paid before the stoppage of the company.-Cotton, Q. C. and Lindley for Ward the transferee, whose name the official liquidator had put upon the list; Baily, Q. C. and B. B. Rogers for Garfitt the transferor; Roxburgh, Q.

Cutler, and Cecil Russell appeared in the case.-The VICECHANCELLOR held the gift to be void for remoteness. Re WEY AND ARUN CANAL COMPANY.-Napier Higgins appeared in support of a petition to wind-up this company.

But one of them appears to us sufficiently remarkable and instructive to deserve notice in this place. We allude to a Proposal for a Constitutional Reform Bill' addressed to Lord Derby by Mr. Edward Cox, the Recorder of Helston This writer, whose intentions are Conservative as well as the standard of the present municipal franchise, that is, household suffrage; and he would give the connty franch to leaseholders, copyholders, and tenants for life of 3 acca value, and to occupiers of houses or land of 20% His sche is therefore very comprehensive, and it has the advantage Ce resting the franchise on a fixed and definite principle. The which from the official returns hold suffrage would add only twenty-three per cent. to the existing constituencies of 156 English and Welsh boroug In seventeen large towns the proportion would be HUN larger, but, as these towns almost all return members of the most advanced Liberal opinions, with their present constiram extended. Mr. Cox calculates the whole addition to the borough constituencies of England and Wales with hou hold suffrage, at only 150,302,"-Edinburgh Review, INVESTORS.-Good and Safe IN- Liberal, advocates the extension of the borough franchise to VESTMENTS.-Mr. BIGGS has received instructions to SELL, by Private Contract, some first-class Freehold detached and semi-detached RESIDENCES, at present pay Ing from five to six per cent.. but are of much greater value than the present rentals received.
