II CAPR. The abets company, in constructing their railway, built • bridge on piles crossing a stream called the Cherwell, near Islip, Oafordshirt, at a short distance below Islip Mill, the property of the plaintiff. The plaintiff thereupon tiled • bill, complaining that the bridge in question had not been constructed according to the plans of which the company had gives notice ; that it twoonsil the stream diagonally, and that the piles were unnecessarily numerous, and greatly impeded the ordinary flow of the water, and minded back the water on the mill tail, and also injured the passage of the plaintiff up to his mill in boats, and his right of fishery , and he insisted that the railway company was not, is crossing the stream, doing as little damage as might be, and that it was piacticable to cross the stream with • girder bridge. On the 10th of January last an injunction was issued re straining the company from sinking any piles, or from raising any permanent works in the course of the stream until the defendants should fully answer the plaintiffs bill, or until order to the contrary was obtained ex parte. This was • motion by the defendants that the injunction might be dissolved. There was a conflict of evidence upon the affi davits as to the amount of injury dune to the mill and fishery of the plaintiff by the piles and bridge. For the plaintiff the injury was represented as being considerable, whilst the witnesses for the defendants staled it to be trilling. For the plaintiff it was muted that a bridge to cause very little injury to the plaintiff's mill and fishery might be erected at a cost of some 301 W. or 1001., whilst for the defendants it was stated that a bridge, ouch as the plain till's bill suggested to be proper to be erected, would cost as many thousands. Mr. Stuart, Mr. Willeock, and Mr. Speed, were heard on the last day of Hilary Term in support of the motion to dissolve the injunction. Mr. Kenyon l'arker and Mr. Hetherington were heard this day in support of the original injunction. They said that the company were bound by the 16th section of the Itadway Clauses Consolidation Act. 1843, to do as little damage as care be," and insisted that the defend ants theosselvs., by showing that a bridge, entirely avoid ing the injury to the stream complained of, could be built, supported the plaintiff's case, and that the coats to the amount seated, as necessary for the purpose, were not such no to justify the defendants in inflicting the injury they bail dune on the plaintiff. The Vier Chant., nor thought the clause in question must have a rear.u.sble construction, and that the company weft not obliged, under the circumstances, to incur a large en. pencliture, such settle plaintiff required, particularly as the same clause gave the plaintiff full reinfection for all damage be could sustain by the piles and bridge in cpitstion! m = Honour thought the injunction should be dissolved. Its Ttta CUtNTIEN JUNCTION AND &MINIM!) RAILW•T Arms.— Ilan weatno's The Master, in settling the list of contributories in the above company, plead the name of Mr. Manwaring on the list as a emtributory for one hundred shares. The se cretary, on the fith of October, wrote a letter to Mr. M.lllWafillit, informing him that by • resolution of the committee of management, he, as a member of the pro voional committee, was entitled to 100 shares in the com- ploy. Mr. hiaIIf&TIAX, by letter dated the 9th of the some month, in re. ply, said, " 1 should wish to ham 100 /LAM reserved for me." On the 21st of November, 1815, the teeretary applied to Mr. Ilauswaring with a repast, in tt.e following word•, " forthwith to pair the deposit on the 100 sham accepted by you as a member of the provielosal committee, agreeably to your letter of the 9th October." Mr. Manwariug, it, answer, desired to be informed whether autscient deposits had been paid to go to parliament, and whether all the other members of the proviaional commit tee had paid their deposits, adding, " should that be the cam, I shall not hasitAto to pay also." On the 31st of De cember, 1915, the secretary convened the provisional COM 'Cow to &orange for payment of the liabilities of the com pany. From that time the scheme was treated as an abase dotard am. Mr. Lee and Mr. F. S. Williamq appeared in support of the s.iii. Mr. Daniel, for the ogleial manager, against it. The viatica was whether the correvoadene• in this ere beweitht Mr. Manwaring within Uptiii's ease. The Vice-Cbaneeller said be did riot think the ease dis- tinguiehable from Upfill's. The point decided there was, that perms who is a member of the provisional cemealttm. and who incepts shares is a contributory. Now, in this cam. the name of the appellant is on the list of the previ sional committee. Two tette rs were addressed to him as • member of the minutiae,. lie answered them, and in neither simmer did he repudiate the character. Then, did he accept shares ? He requested the shares might be pre served foe him, sod when he received a letter which put a tionstruelies tin the ezpression, and treated it as an wept sem, be did not my that his meaning had been mistaken, Sr that a had not aceepted the shares. There was, come quietly, not the diSculty which existed in Onions case. He mast be taken to have accepted the share*. With re gard to the alleged variations in the schemes after the ac- ceptance, it was not cleat that any variations had been made which were not then fairly within the mope of the under taking, and in those inchoate projects it could not be con sidered that any trifling variation afterwards proposed could release those who had engaged in them from their contracts. Via Honour thinking Uptill's case •pplied to this, dimesiesed the appeal, and directed the ' masa ger's costs to comb out of the estate. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCS.—Y►rnaDAT. .14 SO11.11,1_114+.1:0.

William Hlpbs Holland was called, and having stated that he was the prosecutor in the present case, and a brewer at Declaiming, proceeded-1 have known defendant all my life. I borrowed a sum of money of Mesas. hankers, and in 1843 the defendant advanced me 1 1 =. 4 to pay them with. Mims.

I did not have a copy of that deed. It was speed that defendant should act both r m solicitor and my beaker from that time. Defendant said he did not approve of the judgment, as it made people talk, and he said he would destroy it, if I ensued my life for 2,0001.

I did not know that Johnson was going to Weybridge to pay Harris's mortgage. I knew he was going to Wey hndge with me, but I did not know what for, I went to defendant's at the 2nd Marsh, shortly after 9 o'clock I. the morning, and not in the afternoon. I don't remember having received • note from defendant on the Ist March asking ass to all on him. This note of the 2nd March is in my handwriting; it appoints 3 o'clock in the afternoon for me to see defendant. After reading this letter I should say the intetview must lave taken same in the afternoon. I swear that Johnson was in the room when I went in, and was ordered out two or three minutes afterwards. When defendant asked as. to execute the deed I wanted to know what it was for. I did not know the mamaat of the securi ties the deed contained. Defendant did not my he ought to have one-third more than the resney advamed, and I did not say he had half as moth ants. Defendant did sot tell me I had grossly over-valued the property. Johnson did not bring a draft of the deed he me es the 4th of March. He brought • draft of the deed to me ea the 9th Match. He did net read it to me, and was not with me more than five minutes. He-examined—Defendant promised to send me a draft of the deed oa the same evening that I executed it. henry Frederick Holland, son of the last witness, sworn, stated—l accompanied my father to defendant's house shortly after 9 o'clock in the morning of the 2nd Match. Defendant said to my father ' " I want you to sign this." A parchment was on the table, but none of the writing could be seen. Defendant did not tell my father what the deed was &boat, or explain it to him, nor read any part of it to him. I saw my father sign the parchment ; he asked what the deed was fur, and defendant answered, " all right." My father said, " You would not sign • deed with. out its commits being read." Defendant enured my father it was " all right," and must be signed. My father and I were there about • quarter of an hour. Johnson was also there part of the time. Cromeasmined—The interview took place shortly after 9 o'clock in the morning. Extracts from the answer in Chancery were then read, in which defendant swore he was engaged for nearly two hours in explaining the deed to Holland before he exe cuted it. W. H. Holland, recalled, said —I wrote this letter on the 2nd of March, meaning to go to defendant's at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, but it struck me I might be late home and I went to his home immediately. I perfectly recollect that I went there in the morning. This doted the ease for the prosecution. Sir F. nudger then addressed the jury for the defence. In the course of his speech be reverted strongly to the law which allowed indictments to be preferred before grand juries behind the back, of the defendants. Ile alluded to the •ects of the case, which he said gore him no muse for uneasiness. 'l'he learned counsel then entered into the circumstances relating to bills and answers in Chancery which filled some dozens of skins of parchment. The fol lowing witnesses were then called for the defence: l'hilip Johnson-1 am a clerk of the defendant's, and have been so since 1844. Mr. Holland discontinued beings client of the defendant's in October, 1849. I know about the mortgage deed of 22nd of January, 1848. 1 drew pert of it on the Ilth of March myself, and delivered it to the defendant, who brought it to me on the 20th, when it was engrossed. Defendant told me to have it ready to be exe cuted on the 22nd of January. It was ready on that morn ing. I went to Weybridge and paid off Harris's mortgage on the 18th of February, 1848. I had appointed with Mr. Holland to go with him, but he was ill and did not keep the appointment. The note from Mr. Holland of the 2nd of March was a reply to a message. I had been is the office sine. nine o'clock in the morning on the 2nd of Mareb, and Mr. Holland had not been there when I left at two o'clock for dinner, but I found him and his son there when I re turned shortly after three o'clock in the private Ake. De fendant teemed to be explaining the deed to Holland, who had a pocketbook in his hand in which he appeared to be entering the particulars of the property in cluded in the mortgage which defendant was giving hint De fendant from time to time showed him his memoranda, and be also showed defendant what belied written. I should lay they were making calculations. Holland complained of the amount of property included in the securities, and de readmit showing his memorandum, said something about being entitled to security of one third more in value than the money advanced. Hollend answered "According to my calculation, you have more than double." Defe nd ant then told Holland that his valuation was preposterously high. This passed before the explanation wee finished. Holland had a draft of the deed before him. He then ex ecuted the deed, and his son and myself witnessed it. I heard defendant read parts of the deed to Holland, who was with him, I should say, for two hours. It was getting dark when he left. No objection wee made to the amount of consideration mossefor the deed. I deposited the deeds with the Godalming bank is the next day. Defendant wrote a letter to Holland, telling him that ha account was overdrawn, that he bed been with him (defendant) for two hours on the 24 of March, when he had explained the deed to him. Holland said to me "Then you have net brought the deed l" I told hint I bed not, that it was degmeitect at the bank, but that I had a draft whisk I I = a wesM do as quite well. He said des% want ski went the parchment deed." I stared to eztleia tha be hie, t be said be was megaini.l Waged t• sew en any other day, and he died del Ith et Uri I west en that day. Holland took a book bats his pelt, and rid he thought he had not got the assent at the In cluded is the deed cornet sad weasel to sec and he said that was all he wanted. Cress-examined—Defendant made mow calculations on the back of the draft during the latervicw. I am as positive se I can be that nothing was said shout 0 sus• pickles." Alfred Tickner, clerk to defendant, had engrossed the decd. Holland and his son Frederick came to defendant's about three o'clock on the 2nd March. an the 4th of March defendant wrote a letter to Holland saying he had sent his clerk with the particulars of the deed, which he would explain to him. Some documentary evidence having been read, - - Lord Wiaterton and gave the defendant the highest character for integrity. Crum-examined-1i new that defendant woo indicted in this court in 1834, and had then spoken in his behalf. Re-examined—Defendant wee acquitted with triumph, and his character had not suffered. Sir James Burling and other gentlemen were about to be called, when The jury intimated a desire to bear so mom witnesses as to character. Mr. B. James hayloft been heard in reply, Lord Conspirer' proceeded to suss up, an d the jury, with out hesitation, returned a verdict of Not _ _ _ . Lord Campbell (addreming the jury) then said—Gentle men,—l quite concur in your verdict; and I must say that indictments for perjury in respect to answers in Chancery have been carried to a most scandalous length. The regular course to an answer in Charmer, seems to be an indictment for perjury. Should Mr. Kellenh's character hereafter be brought in question, and should it be mid that be has been indicted for perjury. I am sure that you will say that his character aught not to be in the slightest degree slated by what has transpired today. (This was received with hearty applause.) tusQualx v. MaLLutan.

The nature of the present action was for serene' performed In easselion with the election. He was Mating when he was interrupted that Mr. Vigen went down hum London by the persuasion of Mr. HHill , and when he arrived at Helenas he found Sir It. R. Vy Tyne in the bold, and with Sir lt. It. Vyvyau as an opponent, Mr. Hall felt there was very little chance of moons for Mr. Vivre. It was therefore necewryto resort to some en traord means net usual in sellectioneering tanks, in order to nsure the return of Mr. Vipers, and at the same time to maintain Mr. Hill's interest in Helatone, and not to have it weakened by the defeat of his candidate. He accordingly took counsel with his managing clerk, Mr. John Pascoe, and they hit upon an expedient. It appeared that them was nobody in Helenas who could be thoroughly trusted to address that sort of argument to the electors, likely to affect their minds, and to convince them that Mr. Vipers was the proper pinion to represent them in parlia ment. (Laughter.) It required a peculiar kind of argu ment, to point out to the electors the right muse which they ought to pursue, and there was no person in the bo rough of nektons who could be depended upon for that purpose. Accordingly Pascoe was asked by Mr. Hill if he knew any man who could safely be trusted, who had great powers of permission, and who could talk to the electors at a short distance from the town. (Laughter.) Mr. Pascoe recommended his own brother, the plaintiff. The defendant then gave Mr. John present directions what to do. He told him to write to his bro ther, and to tell him to give up all business he might have in hand, to shave his heed, to put on an old man's wig, and a pair of spectmler, to amuse altogether the garb of an old man, and to come down to a place called Trewennick, within a mile of Heinous. Mr. John Pascoe sent his bro ther some money to carry out these instructions, and Mr. Hill desired him to tell him that he should be amply re munerated, a statement which the defendant afterwards made to the plaintiff. In order that he might he able to see the electors, it was necessary that he should have a hone; accordingly he was sup ped with one. The plain tiff went down disguised as an old man, and called himself James Jackson. He remained there from about the 20th of J an* until early in the month of July, convincing the electors, according to the most improved mode, of Mr. Vigen' eligibility as member for Heiman, de which services he now sought to neenr the ram of 401. 6s. The plaintiff gave credit for 161. which he had received on account, and the claim of 401. whisk he now made in addi tion was for his travelling expunge, sad for the time he was in Cornwall. The plaintll'a Wes bills were paid, but he received no money for his sentese, the 101. which was rent him in the Ant instance hang been spent in proeurine his disguise. Application' MA `ismtly made to the defendant for the payment o f 401. ; and he never denied his liability ' but always pet off the pay • meat. In the year 1846 the elleandant awes up to town about some helium commend with the West Cornwall Railway, and the plaintiff then lead en Ma eui requested a settlement of his slim. The dahatdent Yon W. on account at that tins; and he now pleaded die statute of liontatkny whisk meant that the claim bed asented too long ago to enforce its payment. If the defeedest mutt to say that he was never liable, that was a geed dame, and let him make it out ; but he (Mr. &dean( ghee) re commended him to abandon such a defence as the statute of limitations, since the payment of 61. on account in 1646 pre vented that statute applying to the case. The leaned ser jeant concluded his speech ty saying that he sided call evidence to prove the facts which he bad stated. Mr. Baron Martin wished to know if it was to go into all the transactions connected with the ehetlen Mr. Crowder said he could only say that the aloha was a trumped ap one, for which there was net the gleam foun dation. _ _ iirTSerjeant Shee raid be could not help the transactions connected with the election being brought forward. John Pascoe, the brother of the plaintiff, was then called and examined by Mr. Hodgson. He said he had been 16 years clerk to the defendant, but was now clerk to Mr. Lyle. This witness then went on to prove that he had sent for his brother to Helstone by the direction of the de fendant, and the part that his brother had taken in con nexion with the election. He was subjected to a severe crarressminatism, bat nothing was elicited to shake his te r ne.Y. he plaintiff Moult was then called, and he stated that he had gone dews to Ilelatone in 1841, in consequence of a letter which he had received from his brother.

He declined doing so, and Mr. Vigen then applied to hue, and he returned to Heinen with Mr. Vigers.

The adieussed imam for hat easatiastka was held postentsy, WINO the madame were both proud la perm, mad lir. Clark sad Yr. rerell, of the Irma of Ihrery, Club. sad Co., appeared as *Mk seliallers. Kr. Abbott, - 1 -- FEBRUARY 10, 1852. of the firm of Abbott and Lucas, again attended to watch the interests of the bankrupts. It will be remembered that at the previous meetings, of the proceedings of which full reports have appeared bum time to time In the Express, a contention wee seeded on between the aisignees and the court in reformats the solicitors appointed. The learned conindiriense having ascertained that nsemben of the two legal firms appointed were connected by relationship with the bankrupts' wives, he intimated to the assignees his opinion that such con nexion was, in his judgment, incompatible with the firm exercise of the duties of a solicitor in bankruptcy, who had not only to investigate the accounts of the bankrupt, but, it might be, to offer matter to the court in opposition to the greeting of his certificate; and his Hunour further ex- 1 pressed his opinion that such solicitors ought to be removed, and new ones appointed. The assignees on the other hand, contended that the court had no jurisdi ction in the matter ; and, as they and the creditors were satisfied with the ap pointments as made, the, stated that they should respect fully refuse to obey any order for the removal of the soli citors which might be made on them. The learned Commissioner, upon taking his seat, said—l will now proceed to deliver my judgment on the question which hes been raised before me as to the solicitors. The appointment of solicitors made by the assignees in this ease being in my opinion, objectionable, for reasons al reedy stated, and which it is unnecessary to re peat, I think it is also clear that it falls within my province as the commissioner before whom the petition is proceeding to take the objection. I apprehend this to be incidental to the general power end duty unquestionably residing in this court to superintend the whole course of proceedings in every hankroptcy placed upon its file, and to see that the.. proceedings are conducted (so far as the court has the opportunity of becoming officially acquainted w.th what ts dune) in the manner best adapted to promote the objects of the bankrupt law. Upon the present specific question, namely, whether the court has power to interfere with the choice made by the assignees of their solicitors, the only argument against its possessing the power that occurs to my mind as carrying with it sufficient colour to require notice, is that the right which the court does un questionably possess of rejecting an assignee whom it may deem unfit to be appointed, is given by the elves provision of the Bankruptcy Consolidation Act of 1849, section 139; and it may be said, perhaps, that the express insertion of such a power leads to the inference that it would not otherwise have existed, and therefore to the inference that the power now in question does not exist. Neither of these inferences seems to me, however, to' be legitimate. The 139th section, containing ae it does an express enactment that the appointment of assignees may be made by the major part in value of the creditors, it be- , came necessary to add the express proviso, in order to ob viate the implication that might otherwise have seemed to arise, that this choice was, even in the case of an unfit person, to be absolute and conclusive. But even wittiest the proviso, I conceive that this court must have rimmed as incident to the general jurisdiction with which this act so largely clothes it, and to an extent— so much greater than any preceding act—the power to re ject or remove an unfit assignee. And even supposing the contrary, yet the case of the solicitor is very different from that of the assignee. The assignee being once appointed, his nomination of a solicitor unfit (fur whatever reason) to be employed, is a breach of his duty as trustee for the cre ditors, and on that ground, independently of any other, the interference of the court in such a case seems to be clearly authorised. Besides, which, it is to be considered that the court has a more direct and peculiar interest in the lilies* of the solicitor appointed, because that solicitor, when ap pointed, becomes u it were the ministerand assistant of the court itself; for it is laid down on the high authority of Lord Eldon (8 Vesey, 1), at a time when bankruptcies were under the immediate cognisance of the Court of Chan cery, that the solicitor was to be deemed "a minister of the court," and if so it seems to follow on the same principle that he is now a minister of the court in which the petition is prosecuted. It may be added to these remarks that, it' I am right in holding the appointment of the assignees in the present case to be of a nature tending to compromise the interests of the creditors and the claims of public justice, and if it be indeed true (as contended for) that the court has no power of interference, then it follows that the credi tors and the public remain in this respect without protec tion, for I am aware of no other quarter in which an original jurisdiction on the subject can be supposed to reside. There would, therefore, be a great defect in the law, and although we know that such defects are occasion. ally discovered, I need scarcely say that they are never to be presumed and that in any case of doubt it is to be taken as more probable that the law has intended its existing in. etitutions to comprise some remedy for a given abuse, than that It has left that abuse altogether unprovided for. Undcr these circumstances, I should have thought it right to make a formal order on the assignees directing them to change their solicitors; but as they declared to the court at the last sitting that, in the event of such an order being made, it was their intention not to obey the same, it would seem futile to take that course; and I therefore now proceed to order, and do hereby order, that the assig nees he removed from their office on the ground of their persisting in the choice of solicitors, that they have made, and refusing to obey any order that the court should make for changing their solicitors, and that a meeting be held for choice of a new assignee or assignee.. 1 propose:to fix the meeting fur choice a fortnight hence—in order to give any party who miy be so advised an opportunity of bringing the case hefuro the appellate jurisdiction, for I should be sorry to shut them out from that opportunity, or, indeed, not to facilitate it. I trust that in the meantime the estate will suffer nothing, because I may observe that during the interregnum that will prevail, it will be looked after by the official assignee. It is true that he is restricted from making sales, and that the sale of the estates has been advertised, but, if we take the choice at a fortnight, there will still be eight days before the time of sale fur the assignees to look into the matter. Mr. Stone, barrister, said he appeared for the assignees, and perhaps his Honour would allow him to suggest that a fortnight was too short a period, because in all probability the assignees would like to be further advised before they determined upon appealing against his Honour's judgment. His Honour said he was not sure that he ought to listen to the assignees, wbo were about to be displaced, but still he should be willing to extend the time if it could be done without damage to the estate. Mr. Abbott expressed a hope that his Honour would pass the bankrupts, es there was no reason why they should suffer. His Honour said he we aware of the strength of Mr. Abhott's case, that the bankrupts should not suffer from the assignees' misapprehension of their duty, but be was afraid he must say no to the application. It often happened un fortunately an life that we were inconvenienced on account of other parties. The bankrupts' protection would be con tinued and their allowance. A conversation ensued as to the time of adjournment, and it was at length determined that the meeting for new choice of assignees should be held on the 23rd instant, and the time for the sale be enlarged till the 16th March. THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. _ _ gome little time after Mr. O'Coonor's removal to the cell, on being, as yesterday stated, committed for an assault on the police, Mr. O. W. M. Reynolds entered the court, and, in ma►ing an application to the magistrate, said that for a con siderable time it had been painfully obvious to the friends of Mr. O'Connor that his mind was affected to such a degree taws M was not master of his own conduct; and, with every delbrunse to the court, he begged to submit the propriety, smiler such circumstances, of a commutation of the sea- Wow. _ _ Mr. Henry replied that no symptom of aberration of mind was manifested during the examination, end the visit ing justices were the persons to whom such applications should be made, as they could remove him to an asylum, should they satisfy themselves that such a course was neces sary. Mr. He rbal& was of opinion that the infliction of • floe would suy answer the ends of justice. Mr. Remy said that the infliction of a tine in such • case I would be web* short of a mockery of justice, particu larly as resesimi • person in the position of Mr. O'Connor, as he bed it is his power at once to pay the amount, and the oldest of the legislature in conferring such a power was to &prettiest the punishment consistent with the position of the oesder, so that persons who could command the amount of a gas should not altogether escape unpunished. Kr. breads said he had many opportunities of ewer sahibs taw, Maas of his mind ; and although perfectly calm end eseepsesd at times, ho was decidedly mad when any Made smeared to him. Mr. Haag thought, if such was the case, the applicant sistabil bays used his influence with friends, and made the earl punimisa in each cases. This andkaat said that no time should be lost, if the owl wadi kindly alter the decision. Mr. Man said ft was quite out of his power to come to fay u sr Esslion upon the clearest evidence of three wit arse% sad he eould not entertain such an application. Mr. ffeynellis.—Perhaps your worship has read the ac counts in the nuunpupers respecting the affairs of Mr. O'Connor balm see of the Masters in Chancery ? Mr. Henry . .—You have no right to put such a question to me, knowing, as you must, that I can be influenced only by proosgs before me in this court. Applicant.—l put the question with every deference, in asmuch as Mr. O'Connor, when before the Master, de cidedly indicated an unsound state of mind, in addition to which no gentlemen in biases... would exhibit himself in such a manner at a theatre. _ _ Mr. Itenry.—Meny things are done by gentlemen which are exceptions to the general rule, but are not therefore to be taken to be indications of insanity. Applicant—What can I then do for my friend ? Mr. henry.—You must take whatever course you think proper. Applicant. —Will Mr. O'Connor be sent to prison in the prison van ? Mr. lienry.—Most certainly, with the other prisoners. The applicant then retired ; and at three o'clock, when the van drew op to the court door, a considerable crowd col lected to see the hon. member, who was the first to enter the vehicle. WANDSWORTH. James Parr and Wes. Parr, father and son, appeared, charged, the yeomen with being drunk and riotous and "vaulting twe essetabies of tho - V division, and the elder with attevapdoig be mem hie son iron their custody, and using the pelts, Ireseheens against the constables. &rider* en the part of the defendants was given on the last emewiardin. &swiss that enquire violence was used by the pia. sok dist one cutlass at least was nerd by Wisib p m, Os awns. Yeattiday additioltal evidenc• was given on the part of the defending, clearly abieging from the commencement that the pease alone won le blame, and drew all the rough treatment ~on tbsmeelens ►y their brutality, particularly Mendes the ware oisilirlist when he was helpless on die meter, sad tee drunk to make may *actual resist ance. The police also called two witnesses oo their part, but their evidence, intended kr their benefit, only tended the more firmly to fix the make ea the eenstables. Mr. Hendon recapitulated *said points et tinevidence, and then said that the am bad ',Sven Ma eansiderable pain. He had sat some years at that wart, but never previonely bad he had to call the 'oviduct of the police into question. He should not enter into the question why the cutlasses were given to the police, but he must say that the constables in the present instance had been guilty of great indiscretion, and had acted most im properly, The case originated out of • paltry charge of drunkenneee, and had the first constable, Ango, knowing the young man, and seeing his helpless state, taken him home, this occurrence would never have happened. Ile then referred to the drinking at the public-house, and said if that system went on it would lead to confusion and dis order. There was not the slightest doubt existing that the elder Parr had been struck twice by the cutlass or cutlasses, and if a truncheon had been u►ed to the bead the direction of the wound would have been exactly contrary. There was one great feet, showing the non-necessity of using the sabre on this occasion. Although some thirty or forty per sons were assembled sot ono attempted to molest the police. He should discharge the defendants. The elder one was allowed • chair, and was assisted out of the court. MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, FRB. 9. The sales today are .—Sugar : 40 Mids.

MANGLES, Es 4., M.P., in the chair.—The Chairman having moved that the seal of the company be affixed to the register of shareholders, —Mr. &riven objected, on the ground that by so doing they would commit themselves to the legality of the pro ceedings of the directors.—lt having been explained that the affixing the seal was a mere ministerial act, a division took place, when the motion was carried by 32 to 7.—The Secretary then read the report, which stated that on the 3rd instant Mr. fkriven, who represented the landowners on the line, and at whose instance the proceedings for closing the affairs of the company had been suspended—had in formed the directors that " all attempts at a negotiation for obtaining the line were at an end." All that now remained therefore for the shareholders to consider was, whether they would authorise the directors to take such measures as might be best fitted to bring the affairs of the company to an immediate termination in a manner most conducive to the interests of the shareholders.—The Chairman having moved the adoption of the report—Mr. Bcriven said that Mr. °each and Mr. Watson having been appointed with him to investigate the affairs of the company, he would call upon them to address the meeting.—Mr. (leach having declined to do so—Mr. Watson said that the Secretary had, upon their application, shown them some books of the company, but others he had peremptorily refused to produce. It appeared that in 1846 a company was formed entitled the Northampton, Banbury, and Chel tenham, upon which the balance of the deposits was re turned to the shareholders, with the option of changing into the Northampton and Banbury Company, of the capi tal of which one-third was to be taken by the London and North Western, and two-thirds offered to the public. The public only took up 6,289 shares, as against 8,333 of the London and North Western Company. Without, however, appealing to the shareholders as to what should be done, a parliamentary deed was prepared, which was signed only by seven or eight London and North Western directors, and the bill was obtained. Now, it appeared that the whole of the assets of the company, including interest, was 310891. 9s. 10d., of which, deducting the expenditure, there remained in hand a b alance of 26,8491. Ific 2d. lle concluded by moving the appointment of a committee to investigate the whole affairs of the company from the com mencement, to see how far the shareholders were liable to meet their portion of the expenditure.—A long discussion took place, in which some of the shareholders contended that as the London and North Western had gone to parlia ment in the name of their own directors, and without con sulting the shareholders, they ought to return the deposits in full with interest, a position which was contended by Mr. Geach and other proprietors to be unjust.—Mr. Watkig also stated in the course of the discussion, that although no committee had been regularly appointed by the proprietors, he had given Mr. Striven and Mr. Watson every facility to see the hooks of the company. It was only when lie found Mr. Bcriven endeavouring to find out the !amount of holding of his neighbours that the register of shareholders was closed against him, and he (Mr. Watkin) had offered to read the whole of the directors' minutes to Mr. &riven.— Upon the question tiling put, the amendment was nega tived by a majority of 26 to 11, and the original motion carried by 29 to 6.—Some conversation then took place relative to the price of the shares, after which a vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and the meeting separated. RAlLwAys.—Yesterday, a return was printed, from which it appears that in the half year ended the 30th June, 1850, the receipts from all sources of traffic by railways in the United Kingdom amounted to 6,047,290'. 188.41., and in the half-year ended 30th June lw.t, 6,749,6211. 18s. 9,d.
