Io 7 , 000 £ 561 , 000 and each of the foregoing accounts might be debited -with advances made to me , as representing each of said companies , to the extent of the sums I set opposite each of the five accounts , and which sums ¦ would amount in all to 561 , 00021 Then the deposit receipts for 21 , 500 * . granted to Backhouse might be added , and I should be debited With said sum in an account called John Sadleir , trustee in the Backhouse mortgage . " All the foregoing accounts would be looked on as so many trust accounts obtained by arranging to advance as much as was received ; and as the bank could not be called on to pay any of the deposit receipts so long as one . penny was due on any of the accounts , the safety of the bank -would be perfect , and the question of interest both ways could be so adjusted as to work out enough of profit to enable the bank to pay the six per cent , interest , and three per cent , bonus on the 100 , 000 / ., and to carry to the reserved fund a good sum , say 5000 i " I hope you will see this matter in the light that I do ; perhaps I have not sufficiently explained the case , but I am . sure I am right , and that the whole thing can be so managed as to defy any criticism , if such should be started , but of course we should not court any . When I go over , X can explain all . The books should be kept open for the requisite entries . " There is nothing to pi-event the Tipperary Bank from doing what has been done in the — Bank , and the . Bank , and the Bank , and that is all I advise—namely , to open two accounts for A . B . ; to credit one account as having received from A . B . 10 0 , 00 0 ? . on deposit ; to debit the other account for 100 , 000 / ., as having lent A . B . so much on the security of his deposit receipt , and his personal security of course . In every case , the Tipperary Bank should receive the deposit receipts and retain same as security . "F .

I did not see the paper containing reference to O'Shea . " It is asserted that the three joint-stock banks obscurely alluded to in this letter ( the names are rnentioned in . the original , but are suppressed in the published copies ) are wholly innocent of the imputation made against them . The Master of the Rolls , on Friday week , gave judgment in the case of John Ginger , one of the English shareholders , who appealed against the order of the Master in Chancery by which the appellant was placed upon the list of contributories to the Tipperary Bank . " I am of opinion , " said his Honour , " that the order of the Master must be reversed . I have come to that conclusion on the first question raised , although I ana also of opinion ( if the argument of counsel for the official manager was well founded , viz ., ^ . hat James Sadleir was the . « £ ent of the Irish shareholders in respect of the contracts entered into with the English shareholders ) that the contract was vitiated by fraud . I have not decided whether tlie 6 th George IV ., c . 42 , sec . 22 , applies to this caae . It has been contended that that section is only applicable between creditors and shareholders , and not as between shareholders inter se . If it be applicable a & between shareholders inter « , it would put an end to all . question in the case ; but I do not consider it necessary to decide that point . There is , I believe , no corresponding section in any act in force in England . "

this occasion . Miss Walrond " made several observations which she ( Mrs . Hooper ) could not bear repeating , " and that she said she was " done , " and made some allusion to " the devil . " The defence was that Miss Smith made a dash at some
gold that was on the table , and attempted to get off , when she was followed and secured . The assertion with respect to placing the handkerchief on the mat was denied . Lady Walrond , in cross-examination , was asked whether , during the scuffle , a gentleman came to the door , and remonstrated . "Oh , no , " replied her ladyship , "I recollect seeing nothing approaching to a gentleman . " Some people , " observed Mr . Chambers , counsel for the plaintiff , " differ from others as to their notion of a gentleman . " In the cross-examination of Miss Walrond , the young lady continually alluded to her mother as " Lady Janet . " Mr . Chambers said he supposed she meant her mamma . " Mamma ! " echoed the young lady ; " I call her Lady Janet to strangers . " " Pardon me , " rejoined Mr . Chambers ; " I thought , judging from what I have seen in the circles in which I move , that the usual way in which young ladies speak of their mothers is to call them mamma . " " Certainly
not to strangers , " said Miss Walrond . A verdict was returned for the plaintiff ; damages , 301
A Vixen.—A Woman, Named Mary Dogherty, W...
A Vixen . —A woman , named Mary Dogherty , was charged at Westminster with cutting her husband across the face with a razor . The two had been in a publichouse , and had quarrelled . The man left , and was followed home bv the woman , who tore his clothes from his back , and finally inflicted the injury with which she vrp » charged . The wound was of a very serious nature . She was committed for trial on a subsequent day . The Murders at Meltox Mowbray . —William Brown , the supposed murderer of the turnpike-keeper and his grandson , has been arrested . After attending the Methodist chapel at Wetherby on Sunday evening , he went to a public-house , where he was suspected , and secured by the landlord , who telegraphed to Leicester , and obtained the presence of the chief constable and two policemen , by whom Brown was identified and arrested .
Dbinic-Mania . —Melton Mowbray , while in the midst of the excitement caused by the double murder recently committed near there , was still further startled by an attempted assassination and suicide . Thomas Clark , a young man , about twenty-four years of age , went to the house of a Mr . Shouler , an auctioneer , and fired a pistol at him . The ball glanced from Mr . Shouler's breastbone , and the wound , though severe , was not mortal . Clark then fled , cutting at his throat with a penknife ; but he was pursued and captured . It is thought he was labouring under delirium tremens .
A Ruffian by Wholesale . —A well-known ruffian , who gave the name of George Brown , but whose real name is known to be Frederick Ruffle , has been examined at the Thames police-office , charged with committing a violent assault on Catherine Chinerton , William Chinerton , her husband , and Edward Sheridan , a police-constable . The magistrate committed the prisoner for trial for assaulting Sheridan and breaking his arm , and said that the young woman Chinerton could indict him at the same time for the assault upon her . The Death of a Lady at Ilkxey . —Further inquiries have left little doubt that lira . M'Knight has been straugled . A London detective officer has been sent to the spot to investigate the case , and a man is in custody . ...
Cock-fiohtino in Westmorjbxawd . —A " gentleman" of fortune , Mr . Henry Rauthmell , who , together with several farmers and mechanics , is in the habit of attending cock-fights on the fell-sides , near Kendal in Westmoreland , has been fined 3 / . and costs , at the instance of the Society for the Suppression of Cruelty to Animals . Summonses wcro issued against his companions , who , however , did not appear ; and the further hearing of the case was adjourned . Tori cocks had been left dead in the ring on the occasion in question . It appears that cock-fighting is a common sport in Westmoreland , and that the gentry and farmers will often spend a whole day in witnessing it , 6 couta being placed on the adjoining heights to give timely notice of the approach of any strangers .
Central Criminal Court . —Charles Avory , a middle-aged gentlemanly-looking man , has been Acquitted on a charge of obtaining goods and money by false pretences , and of having obtained goods three months before ho was duly adjudged a bankrupt , under the false pretence that he required them for the purpose of carrying on hia trade , and with intent to cheat his creditors . A , Drunken Clergyman . —An action has been brought in the Court of Exchequer , by an attorney's ¦
clerk , against tbq Briton Life Association , to recover 60 / ., t , ho amount of an insurance on the life of the Rev . Theodore Buckley . The facts were very similar to thqse ., in , the actions brought by Mr , Truolock , related in , our last week ' s paper . The policy was said to be " indisputable ; " but the company refused to pay / jMtoi the ground thatJhthad been , obtqln , « d by fraud—Mr . Buckley ( to the plaintiff's knowledge , but unknown to fchern ) . having , be ^ n , a . confirmed drmilord , and afHl ' cted wfth f ^ eliriu 7 }} , tremetu , ^ t wh ; cb lie d , ^ , When he went into , ft puplie-wi &' MX . frffim ^ pfi ^ ' fifi ob l iged to pi $
his mouth to the glass on the counter , his hand beign . too " shaky" to lift it ; and in the morning he would obtain from a chemist what is called a ' pick-me-up "a dose composed of sal volatile , camphor , and orangepeel , to steady the nerves . A verdict was given for the
plaintiff for the amount claimed . Thieving in the Presence of . Justice , A man named David Read , - has been committed for trial on a charge of stealing a pocket-handkerchief from a younij man in the justice-room of the Mansion House . Tt « accused , with great assurance of manner , said that the charge was calculated to do him a great deal of mischief and that the very imputation was injurious . Alderman Carden , who commented on the man ' s audacity on committing the theft in the justice-room , refused to dispose of the case summarily .
Rescuing a Prisoner . —John Mason was charged at the Westminster police office with rescuing a notorious thief and . ticket-of-leave man from the custody of tlie police . A gentleman named Kibbin was passing along Victoria-street , at eleven o ' clock on the morning of Wednesday week , when a -well-known thief , named Andrews , attempted to steal his gold watch and guard , for which offence he has since been committed for trial . He was apprehended in Duck-lane ; but the constable who had charge of him was surrounded b y bis associates and other bad characters , and was beaten , kicked , and trampled upon until the man was rescued . Mason was foremost in the attack , and repeatedly assaulted the constable . He was committed for a month to hard labour in the House of Correction .
Passion . —A travelling tinker , who gave his name Thomas Eveland , has appeared at the Westminster police-office on a charge of cruelty to his child , a little girl , ten years of age . The father , having reason to believe that the girl had lost five shillings , dragged her out of bed at night , and beat her fiercely with a guttapercha whip while in a state of nudity . She screamed out , and , the neighbourhood being alarmed , a woman came to the spot , and begged the man to desist ; but he replied that he would beat the child all night . Her screams were then again heard for some time , and it would seem that the punishment was continued for
threequarters of an hour . At length , the police arrived , by whom the child was found bleeding from the shoulders and back . She was then taken to . the workhouse , together with the man's three other young children , all of whom were in a filthy and deplorable condition . The mother , it appeared , was in prison . Two of the witnesses , who resided on the spot , said that the general conduct of the man to his children was kind , and the girl herself admitted that he had never beaten her before . The accused acknowledged that he had been very severe , but pleaded the loss of the money as an excuse . He was sent to prison for four months , with hard labour .
Disatu by Poison . —An inquest has been held at Leeds on the body of Mrs . Sarah Ritchie , a widow , aged fifty-one , who has died apparently from the effects of a large dose of bichromate of potass . The son of the deceased woman , who is a dyer , stated that he knew the poisonous qualities of bichromate of potass , and he believed his mother did . She had asked him for some about a month previously , for the purpose of killing bugs ; but he denied her . The inquest was adjourned . Murder near Derby . —Enoch Stone , a glovemaker , was robbed and murdered on the high-road between
Nottingham and Derby , on Monday night , probably about midnight . From the pools of blood found iu various places on the road , it would seem that the deathstruggle was severe . Among other things , the deceased was robbed of the boots he was wearing . When a wayfaring man , about twelve o ' clock at night , came upon Mr . Stone , he found him dying from his injuries , and he expired in his own house at six o ' clock on Tuesday morning . Two Irish field-labourers , a man dressed like a sailor , and a woman , are in custody . An inquest hoa been opened , but is adjourned till monday next .
A Clkkoyjun Charged with Attebuted Infanticide . —The Rev . Patrick King , curate of Aston , a village near Birmingham , and said to be a seccder froia the Itomish Church , introduced , some weeks ago , a young lady , named Miss Ann Downes , to the locality ,. stating that she was the wife of a friend . Apartments were taken for Ker at a respectable house , and there she was delivered of a child . Shortly afterwards she was removed to Mr . King ' s house , and the child was put out to nurse . In less than two weeks after the birth , Mr . King hired a vehicle , and told the driver to take him to Trinity Church . Ho had the child and a little girl with him . After they had started , he directed the coachman •¦* «•¦ ^^ ^™ " ~ ^ ^* ^^ — — —M . ~ ' ^ W - ^ £ f
