scelinn 6 for a penalty for neglecting to keep or make such retumą;" sections 7 and 8 provided for a copy of the charter o deed of settlement to be recorded in the office of the Registrar-General; 'and section 9 that the names of proprietors should be retarded in the office of the Registrar-General, The whole object of that Act was to compel the companies to furnish certain information, apparently for statistical purposes. But, iḥ, new act contemplated a different state of pro. ceedings. It was alleged for the defendants that neither act applied to a company which did not receive deposits or which did not issue notes If that were so, then section 2 of the new Act was a work of supererogation, because the Act of 1864 provided that a company that received deposits and issued notes should be liable to certain penalties for omissions to comply with the Art. But the Act of 1888 contained absolute prohibitions against certain things being done, so as to protect the public and the shareholders. Sectionvided that no banking company shall issue notes payable to bearer at sight or on demand unless it has a subscribed capital of L250,000 and a puid-up capital of £150,000. If bedefndant's contention was right, a bank might stopt to-morrow and, issue notes to an unlimited
extent, but so lang is it did not resivé deposits the Act would not apply. It was submitted that
this view was wrong, and that the Act was not limited to banks that received deposits.
Mr., Justice Williams said that he would reterve the paint for the Full Court as to whether. section 7 of the Act of 1868 applied to the defendant company.
Mr. Mitchell then submitted that there was on evidence that the defead at bank authorised the insettion of these advertisements. The fact that the local manager inserted then and paid for them out of the moneys of the bank did not bied the head office of the company in an netion for penalties. He also submitted that there was no evidence of the incorporation (of the defendant company,

Mr. Justice Williams was of opinion that there was evidence to bind the bank as to the publica-America. But the essence of it is diffusive, tion of these advertisements, and also that there was evidence of the incorporation of the com- pary, On these points he would decide in favour of the plaintiff; but the other point as to whether the defendants came under section 7 of the Art of 1888, he would reserve for the Full Cout.

The, representatives of sixteen republics are to-day collected in the United States to discuss matters of common interest. It is an awkward conjuncture for any European despot who might feel disposed to emulate in Brazil the templ made by Napoleon in Mexico. Possibly Dom Pedro may feel bur slender inclination to invok interposition to reinstate him in his Imperi} dignity.

The only way in which shareholders sind depositors were protected was by persons finding out that these hanks were shams and frauds, and instituting actions of this kind: He thought this form of action deserver every encouragement, and so far as he was concerned he would assist them in every way. It might be that the point taken by the defendants was a good one; he should be verv sorry to see it succeed; but as there appeared to- be some doubt on the paint, he trusted that it would be brought under the notice of Parliamen). and that banks which carried on business by

Mr. Mitchell said that the plaintiff brought this action out of revenge, and had said that un- less he got his way in a certain matter he would take proceedings against the defendants,
Mr. Justice Williams said that he had no sympathy with the plaintiff, but he was very gind he brought the action. He might also say that if the defendants wete a creditable institu- tion, of which he had some doubt, the mode of conducting the defence reflected the greatest discredit on them. It was a direct insult to the administration of justice, and they did every thing to thwart the course of Justice.
Mr. Mitchell stated that in an action of this sort the defendants did not feel justified in giving facilities to prove the case against them.
The question whether the defendants were liable in the action was reserved for, the Full Court.
AMERICA LIBERATA.
From the line of the St. Lawrence and the great likes to where the commingled waters of two oceans lave the rocks of Cape Horn there breathes not now one man who is supposed, by the vice of a constitution, to assent to the lie that, by Divine ordinance or political necessity, they owe obedience to an individual or members of some particular family. "Slaves cannot breathe In England," sang Cowper, at a time when Becely a man in Great Britain had even n conception of Freedom in its political sanes. In thai sense the peoples of the Americas can to-day with more propriety echo the boast, That is to SAY, the peoples within the boundaries we have indicated. Where on the English maps, the customary tint of blood appropriately indicates the dominions of the British Sovereign, men still owe the duty of bowing the head and bating the breath when a Wettin-Guelph is mentioned. In the Southern Continent there is, indeed, yet one exception-a tiny smirch on the map of freedom. In Guiana there are "subjects "vassals of the Queen of Great Britain and the King of the Netherlands. Slaves cannot breathe in Eng- land" Emply boast, Monarchs cannot breathe in America The atmosphere of liberty distills over the new world from a dozen Republica and suffocates Sovereigns. Dom Pedro II, harmless man, has had the Imperial crown blown off his head by a blast of that Divine air, but if a string of names could have fastened the diadem on his head the crown would still encircle his brows. If Pierre II. de Alcantara-Jean-Charles-Leopold-Salvador Biblano-Francois-Xavier-de-Paula-Leocadio- Michael-Gabriel-Raphael Gonzague were at enough to smite common people with a sense of the abject docility which they owe to the indivi. dual thus embellished, then Court-christenings -among other sacred institutions—are blighted by Le growing and sacriligious spirit of demo cracy. If it sufficeth not to name a prince after twa kings, Jesus Christ, the canonised founder of the Jesuit Order, and two archangels, it is difficult to conceive what can be done in that direction. But, after all, this plan of giving superb titles was proved ineffectual ages ago. The Roman Emperors not merely bad the naise
of the Saviour (Salvador), the Son of God, tacked
terce in which the bligatione ofaling have no part. The new magrts of Brz in affarss em to have recognised this tendency f his mind They have, acciding to cabled advices, miereared him with a lump sum of over balla million sterling, and have promised him doox you. This, it must be admitted, is a hands ine bonus and pension, and cannot falto operate in some degice as an in lucement to keo griet. Tunsmuch also as the
civit list is to be continued to the in-mbers of the
ts connive why it shoublot. The United States have mingid to rub aling reasonably well without a Dom Pedro, and the Roman Republic prospered passably, whereas he Roman Empire, at er a fish in the pan, smashed up every hing. Half a million down and ei hty thousand a year for Dom Pedro's life won't sink the new Republic. Probably there may come a reaction in favour of monarchy, in which case bloodshed and devastation will doubtless ensue. But when once a people has breathed the atmos phere of Liberty and fasted the sweets of Republican (quality, they never fail to hanker for them again, and in the end they use no other."
