State.Of Trade. The State Of Business In...
STATE . OF TRADE . The state of business in the chief-seats tff industry during-the week ending last Saturday differed in 3 x 0 important respectfrom the condition of affairs last reported . A continued improvement is noticeable in most 'localities ; but languor still prevails at Bradford , Hudders . fi ^ ld , Leicester , Manchester , and "WolveThampton-* 'It appears , " says the Tbnes , " that , at the meeting of the partners of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank , held at Edinburgh on Thursday week , a protest was served on the directors , iu behalf of shareholders who had purchased stock since last February , holding the directors liable for the price of the same , on the ground ¦ tliat the report laid before the meetings of tlie
proprietors , in February did not represent the true condition of the bank ' s affairs , and counsel , we believe , have been retained to follow up the protest by litigation . It was admitted by the directors that since February tliey had ' bought in stock of the nominal value of 43 , 0921 ' .,-at a cost of 43 y 887 ? . It was stated that the numberof shareholders is about 1400 , and that the nominal Value of their 'holdings is about 36 O , 00 O £ The fact was'likewise elicited that the directors of the Clydesdale Bank , and also , we believe , the accountant employed by the committee of proprietors to investigate , did not think
that the assets of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank would amount to 165 , 000 / ., and therefore , to carry out the amalgamation with the former , a call would , in their opinion ; necessarily have to be made on th-e shareholders of the latter . Ten trustees were appointed to carry out the amalgamation , four being selected from the present directors and six from the shareholders . The meeting ( to which the representatives of the press were" not admitted ) was , wo believe , a very angry one . About four or five hundred persons were present , and the meeting lasted two hours and a half . "
Central Criminal Court. The June Session...
CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT . The June sessions commenced on Monday , but no case of conspicuous interest was tried that day * . On Tuesday , William Rawson and Jonathan Mireliouse were placed at the bar to take their trial upon several ind ictments , charging the former with stealing jewellery and other articles , and the lattor with receiving the property , know-Ing it to have been stolen . They were Acquitted on both counts , but other charges against them stood over . The prosecutor had allowed Rawson < o put a watch and chain round his neck , immediately after which the man made off ; and , under these circumstances , the Recorder said that the charge of robbery could not be . sustained . On Wednesday , Rawson was / found Guilty on another charge , and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment . Mirehouse was Acquitted .
Henry Keene Smithers , a gentlemanly-looking man , pleaded Guilty to three indictments , charging him witli embezzling and stealing tho several sums of G 17 / . lGs . 7 d ., 582 / . 19 s . 8 d ., and 251 / . 3 s . 9 d ., from his employers , the Commercial Dock Company .

by , force , for the door was locked , and there discovered the dead bodies of the yvoman and of aj'oung man the latter of whom had . a ^ evolver in his hand . The corpse of the woman did not present any external marks of violence . On the following day , the man was reco « -nizejl by his father , a MTr . John Hodges . He was ° only twenty-five years of . age , and was a clerk in a solicitor ' s office ! He resided with his parents , . and , on being missed from home , suspicion was excited . The motive of the murder would . seem to have , been jealousy ; for in . the pocketbook of the man was found a document , on which the following words ivere written iu . a very legible hand :- —" I said , it should not last a twelvemonth
Mr . Elsmere and Mr . Horlick are to blame , and Ileave them to the everlasting curse . of a dying man . " On the back of the document there avus written , "; In Chancery .

Gatherings Prqil The Daw And Po1.Ice Cou...
GATHERINGS PRQil THE DAW AND PO 1 . ICE COURTS . Saturday was a memorable day in the Court of Queen ' s Benoh , being signalized by the retirement of Mr . Justice Coleridge , who , for tlie last three-and-twenty years , has exercised the functions of a . Judge with great learning , indomitable patience , and admirable courtesy and kindness of manner . He is thelaat of the Judges appointed by any monarch preceding her present'Majesty ; for the Iiard work of the bench , corning on the top of many years of toil at -the bar , does not allow of any protracted period of judicial service . Tlie respect and esteem felt for the retiring Judge ( who , besides being an admirable lawyer , was a gentleman of a very elegant and scholarly mind : —a relation , -we believe , of the poet Coleridge ) were such , that tbe court 611 Saturday was densely crowded with barristers ; and , shortly after two , Lord Campbell called on the Attorney-General , who thereupon , rose and addressed the retiring Judge in an eloquent speech , in which he enlarged on his shining qualities as a lawyer , on his affable bearing towards the bar , and on the regret universally . felt at his retirement . Mr . Justice Coleridge was so much affected by this address that it . was a considerable tjrne before he could lind utterance . He thenspoke at pome length , and , in the cour . se of his observations , made some excellent remarks on the moral character of the bar . " . So long as En gland is rich and free , " saidhis . Lorclship , " the ltiw must always exercise a predominant influence . I am sure you feel that your responsibility is commensurate with your interest ; ami
I have no fear but that , in any political difficulties or dangers that may arise , you ivlll . be found , as your predecessors -. were , courageous , . and entirely equal to any crisis . But the most insidious . dangers are those . which beset you ; in your . daily business—rthe excitement pf controversy , the desire of victory , the love of intellectual display , and the , excessive . seiiso of duty to your clients . Gentlemen ,,. and especially my younger . friends , suffer me to put you on yom guard . We . csui . veil afford to bonr with broad pleasantries , but iv . a cannot afford that our professional standard of . honour . should ko questioned , or that it should be said that avo would do as advocates in court what as gentUjmen we jsjiould . scorn to do . -doniotimes wo lend support . to tliis notion by the case with
which wo attribute uiigentlemanly conduct to one another . That client 13 dear imleod that would induce an fulvocato in carrying out his views to go beyond his great and glorious profession . Forgive ' me , my friends , these free -words . I speak in the love of a profession to which I have given tho best part of my years , and which I shall continue to love as long as my heart shall beat . " At . the conclusion of his speech , 'his Lordship bowed and hastily rushed out of court , evidently overcome by his emotions . Many members of tlie bar , moreover , could not restrain . tlieir tears . Tlie court was shortly afterwards adjourned for tho long vacation . It will reassemblo on tho 2 nd of November .
Tho case of Palmer v . Maclenr and Macgratli , involving tho validity of tho will of Sir George Muctfrntli , was concluded in tho Court of Probdto . last . .

Sir Crasswell Crosswcll accordingly diiw'ed tho jury to find tliat nt 'the rlnte of tho will and eoilicH propounded by tlio plaintiff , tho testator , Sir George Mncgrath , was not of Biifficiently sound mind , moniory , mid understanding to execute those instrument * .
