~ - " ** All the foregoing accounts . would be looked on as so many trust accounts obtained by arranging to advance as ^ n rach as was received ; and as Jhe ban k 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 sLx per cent , interest , and three per cent , bonus on the 100 , 000 / ., and to carry to the reserved fund a good sum , say 5000 / .
44 1 hope you will see this matter ia the light that I &p { perhaps I have not sufficiently explained the case , but I am sure I am right , and that the -yyhole 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 , I can explain all . The books should be kept open for the requisite Entries . " There is nothing to prevent 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 . 100 , 000 / . on deposit ; to debit the other account for 100 , 000 / ., as haying lent A . B . so . much on . the security of his deposit receipt , and his personal securitj' of course . In every case , the Tipperary Bank should receive the deposit receipts and retain same as security .

" -I enclose the prospectus . 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 mentioned in the original , but are suppressed in the published copies ) are -wholly innocent of the imputation made against them . ' . ' ' ¦ n The Master of the Bolls , 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 . order of
"I am of opinion , " said his Honour , "that the the Master must be reversed . I have , come to that conclusion on the first question raised , although I am also of opinion ( if the argument of pounsel for the official manager was well founded , viz ., that James Sadleir was the agent 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 the 6 th George IV ., c . 42 , sec . 22 , applies to this ; case .. It has been contended that that section is only applicable between creditors and sLareholders , and not as between shareholders inter se . If it be applicable aa between shareholders inter « c , 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 lelieve , no corresponding section in any act in force in . England . "

Walrond , but in fact against his . wife , Lady Janet Walrond , from whom ho was separated . The action was for assault and false imprisonment . Miss Smith had been living with Lady Walrond , but left on not finding herself comfortable . On the following day , she presented her account for Dement , amounting to AL 5 s . 9 d ., but Lady Walrond , 4 fg £ ! ra 6 , plejBi that she missed three pocket-handkerchiefs , deleted 1 / . 6 s . The maid was then , according to her Yti ' reiop , rushed upon by Lady Walrond and her daughter , Mies Walrond , beaten , roughly used , and given into
custody for theft .

this ' o « a ^ o nV " Mis ^ Walrobd ~ " ' made '' sev ( iriftl 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 , duriug the scuffle , a gentleman came to the door , and remonstrated . " Ob , 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 tlie 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 niove , that the usual way in which young ladies speak of their mother is to call them mamma . " " Certainly not to strangers , " said Miss Walrond . A verdict was returned for the plaintiff ; damages , 30 /

After attending the Methodist chapel at Wetherfcy 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 .
Drink-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 .

Summonses were issued against his companions , who , however , did not appear ; and the further hearing of the case was adjourned . Ten cocks had been left deud in the ring oi \ the pecasiou in question . It appears that cock-lighting is a common sport in Westmoreland , and that tho gentry and farmers will often spend a whole day in witnessing it , scouts being placed on the adjoining heights to give timely notice of tho approach of any strangers .

Rescuing a Prisoner . —John Mason was charged at the Westminster police office with rescuing a notorious thief and ticket-of-lea-ve man from the custody of the 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 by his associates and other bad characters , and was beaten , kicked , and trampled upon until the man was rescued .

The father , having reason to believe that the girl had lost five shillings , dragged her out' 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 token 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 .

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 in various places on the road , it would seem that the deathstruggle wus severe . Among other things , tho deceased was robbed of the boota 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 .
