INO.—JeD 4,II :NT , This writ of error on &judgment of the Court of Ex chequer Chamber, reversing • Judgment of the Court of Exchequer, was argued in the presence of the learned judges of the common law courts un the 20th and 24th of Yob, last. 7he senors had been brought by Lord Lindsey against the directors of a com pany once called " the Direct North ro Railway Company. " The proposed railway was to run through ur by certain lands of Lord Lindsey in Lincoln shire. There was a competing company tar another line called the Greet Northern Railway Company, and eseh of thew companies had a bill before parliament in 1816. Lord Lindsey had agreed with the former company not to oppose their line, but to oppose the line of the latter company, in consideration of which, and of other matters, the Direct Northern Company covenaated, if their bill should pais withi.i 6 months, to ply Lord Lindsey, the aunt of 2.5,000 f., in enapcnsation for the injury to be dons to his property, and in case the bed of the threat Northeru Company should pass within 18 months, the directors of the Direct Nortt.ern Company would pay hip lordship 14,0001. in one event s and • - •,000f. us another, his I irdship eoveniintinr in these events to get as much earupensation as be could from the Great Northern Cum• pin, and apply it in reduction of the sum to be paid to bins by the Direct Northern Company. There was a further covenant in the agreement, that in case the two companies abou,d be amalgamated, certain sums should be paid to the earl That last event did happen, and the earl clamed the payment, and, on refusal, he brought the action. The defence set up by the company was, that they did not ob tain the contemplated WU, or any bill, within the siz months, and that the ansolgemated company gave the earl cc ice that the tureens. ut was at an end, as they did wit intend to um any of hi• lordship's lands in making this railway. It was held by the Court of Exchequer that the plea setting up this defence was a good plea to the action. That de clai ms was rever•ed in the Ezell...Tier Chamber. At the lose of the argument in this 'wage in February last, the Lord Chaneellor put questions fur the consideration of the learned judges. Mr. Baron Parke, on their behalf, now attended, and delivered their nwininvowi opinion, which went to affirm the decision of the I.:chcquer Chamber. The Lord Chancellor and Lord Brougham respectively expressed their opinions in concurrence with the opinion of the judges, and the judgment of the Court of Exchequer Chamber was aimed. lisfinsrr r. smog. This was a writ ofd rear on a judirimot of the Court of Exchequer Chamber in Ireland, and it was argued here on the INth of February last, iu the presence of the learned judges of the courts of colflllloll law, suit the facts and points of the argument were then reported in this journal. it may he remembered that the action was brought by Mr. Emig, a coach header in Dublin, against the registered pro prietor of the Paul newspaper there, for a libel upon the plaintiff published in that paper on the necasinn of a visit paid by Lord ileyteshury, then l.ad Lieutenant of Ireland, to the warehouses of the plaintiff'. 'the libel was as follows: What puoitssed Lord Ileyteshury, if he knew anything shout this country, or as nut under the spell of vita said treacherous indneare, to make his tint nut to Lornes, the eisubmaker, the other day. If more trade was his object, he had seven' respvtable houses open to him. But Long was a noted j1IT)011111, of the sort much wanted. Long was a feeble, utilities., vulgar as a matter of course, but very violent member of the old corporation of Dublin, no t one of whose members has ever yet been returned even by the conservatives, by the new corporation, anu there fore it was that the Camarillo inatigatcsl their dupe and predestined victim to go to Longs, in order to commit him still further with the people. We take a review of these events trifling in themselves, but indicative of what are no Intim, that at least in going the high road of execration ileyteshury may sec his way, and hare no excuse that he erred by accident or ignorance of the farts which indicate and influence injustice and misrule, and in their turn pub lic exeeratioit" The declaration sit forth the libel, with the neresary inuendoes. The dehodant to the action pleaded the general issue, and that there was no malice in the article, and also that he a, soon its he could offered to insert an apology if Long would send one to hint for the purpose, and that he did publish an apology under Lord Campbell's act. 'I he plain hir replied, in asting the existence of malice, for which he referred to former publications of the defendant. At the trial the defendant challenged one of the jurors, as being a town councillor of Dublin, but the court disallowed the challenge and the pleas atm. After the argument the Lord Chancellor put questions to the judges, as to the legality of the inference of malice front preriotu publications, and a to the sufficiency of the apology, and the competency of the C11811..110 . to the juror. Mr. Doren Parke now delivered the unanimous opinions of himself and the other judges who had heard the case, to the effect, that in order to show malice in a publication, other publications of the same party, of long prier date, might be given in evidence, and that the apology was not isufficiently in compliance with the act of parliament, and, that the challenge to the juror was incompetent. The Lord Chancellor and Lord Ilrougham, adopting the opinions of the learned judges, expressed their own in aceordanee with them, and, in affirmance of the judgment of tie court below. Mr. Ramo Parke having withdrawn, the following apposl was called on: COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH—YESTERDAY.

From the statement of the harried coun.el, it appeared that by two charters, dated respectively in the .ith awl 7th year. of Edward VI., ter. tam lands and pussessions were granted to the corporation al leaden, in order to found hospitals, and amongst other provision: it was in the charters ordained that the Mayer, alemmig, and common councillor., should be governors of the hospit als and of the revenues and goods thereof • sad should a corporation and have a common seal, sad have power to make rules and ordinances for the governmental the hospitals, and to uominate and appoint otticen ludo, them to manage the poor person. in the said hospitals.

The second article provided that iu all mutants and suit. the governors should have the power to we the name of the corporation. The third article provided that the seal belonging to the hospitals should be restored to the chaniber of the City of London, to be kept there as theretofore by the chamberlain of the City, and that all leases which should thereafter be made of any of the lands belonging to the several hospitals, and allother deeds and instruments relating to the same, should, after having been examined, approved, and signed by the presi dent or treasurer and such competent number of the alder men sod other governors as hare been used and accustomed to examine, approve, and sign the same, be left at the office of the chamberlain to be sealed at the neat court of aldermen or common councillors, which ever should first happen without any reading, ad dition, examination, or alteration whatsoever. The fourth article provided that the Court of Cosmos Council should appoint 4$ of their number, 12 of whom should be governors of each of the four impitals.

Rule nisi granted. THE MICR or BRUNSWICIL r. Mauna. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., moved fur a rule, calling won the plaintiff to show cause why the Master should mitt= the defend int his costs in the first trial which had takes place in this action, upon the following grounds ap peared that the action had been brought by the plaintiff in the year 1818 against the defendant, as proprietor of the IVeckty Dispatch, fur a libel inserted in that paper on the 19th of September, 11430. The defendant pleaded the sta tute of limitations. The plaintiff, at the tnal, called a wit ness, who swore that he had purchased a copy of the paper at the Dispotch-uffice a short time before the trial. Upon this, which was held to amount to a re-publication, a ver dict was given fur the plaintiff, with damages 500 f. A new trial hail been granted, upon the ground that the evidence to establish the re-publication was perjury. At the second trial, the defendant had a verdict. The witness who hunt proved the purchase was not called, and the affidavits on which the present application was founded went to show that cireunrdances had since that trial come to the know ledge of the defendant, which proved that the plaintiff had been himself a party to the procuring the first verdict, by means of perjury.

The act was pained on the 18th August, 1810, authorising the company to make eight short lines, called the West Rifling Union Railways (9 and 10 %'ic., c. 390). The compulsory powers fur the purchase of land had been extended till the 18th August next, and the company had nut called up above half the capital empowered to be raised. Role granted. THE QI:ELN r. THE Toad, Nawc tans, .urt, BLZWICI RAILWAY COMPANY. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, ....Q.C., Mr. Knowles, Q.C., and Mr. Atherton, appeared to show cause against a rule for a man damus to the defendants, commanding them to issue the necessary anion to landowners, and to make the branch railroad from Think to Melton in pursuance of their act. Lord Campbell said he thought the rule hbould be mode absolute. He at present assumed that the company had, by obtaining the act of parliament, entered into a contract to make the lino; and tf it was obligatory on them to do that, then persons living in the neighiantrhood had a I ital interest in seeing that the contract was carried out. And there was no other remedy except by mandamus. The rest of the judges concurre d. Rule absolute for a mandamus, TUE QI:6101 v. Amo.4.—CUARGE Or MUICONDUCT AOIINST A COII:MTT CoURT JUDO!: Mr. Carter moved for a rule calling upon Andrew Amos, Esq., the judge of the Marylcbone County Court, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for corrupt and oppressive conduct in his Once. application was made on behalf of Frederick William Aruudell Alder, and was sup ported by the affidavits of that gentleman end his father, which alleged the following facts : —That the complainant had been in the service of a Mr. Yeoman as pay clerk, and that wages to the amount of 171. 76. being due to him, be took out a summons in the County Court, and paid fees to the amount of 31. fie. 4d., besides a fee to his attorney to conduct the case. When the case came on it was adjourned for further and better par ticulars until the 11th February. There was no plea of set off, but a statement was mule that there were counter claims on the other side On the 14th February, when the ease was called on, an attempt was made to compel the plaintiff to refer the ease to arbitration, which he refused, and a farther adjournment took place till the 14th March, on which occasion counsel attended for the plaintiff; and on the case being called on, an attempt was again made by the judge to compel a reference, but the counsel for the plaintiff refused, and the ease was called on. Counsel was then asked whether he was instructed by an attorney, to which ho answered that he was, to the best of his belief, though he did not know him personally. The plaintiff's case was then opened and proved, and the attorney for the defendant stated the defence, and called the defendant as a witness. Counsel for the plaintiff cross-examined him at some length, and at &quarter before 1 o'clock, the judge milted whether there were any other witnesses, and being told there was one he said he elmuld adjourn the further hearing of the case, as he could not keep everybody else waiting for one long cause. The plaintiff's counsel protested against this, but did not prevail, and the case was adjourned till the 9th of May. In the interval the plaintiff's counsel raw his attorney, Mr. Bayou, personally, and received his brief from him. When the cause was again called on, another attempt to compel arbitration was made and re fused, and the judge said he would take two or three abort causes to give the parties time to come to an agreement of reference, which however they did not do, and then the question was again raised as to whether the counsel was instructed by an attorney, when the personal delivery of the brief was proved, but the judge said he should adjourn the case in order that the attorney might be produced, as there was some reason to think he was personated. The nett day accordingly the attorney did appear, and proved giving the instructions to counsel, he was then asked whether he drew the brief him self, to which he answered that he did not, but that he had read it through, and that its contents were correct. Counsel and plaintiff then proposed to proceed where the case left off, but the judge said he had forgotten all that had taken place, as ho had taken no notes of the evidence, and that the case must begin de novo, this was accordingly done, and the defence com menced as before, and about half-past one, p.m., the Judge again asked whether there were any more witnesses, and being told there was, he again said he would not keep every body waiting, but would adjourn the case till the rest of the cases on the paper were disposed of. Both plaintiff and his counsel, however, said they could not attend any more thaLt, and that it would be useless to do so as there were p of 200 Mel in the list, and the judge then said he should adjourn it till June 10, which was done. The plain tiff in his affidavit now swore that these perpetual adjourn ments were for the purpose of compelling him to go to the expense of a reference, and to save the judge the trouble of trying a long case, and that the clerk of the County Court was in the habit Of sitting as arbitrator in such cases, and receiving fees fur so doing that he had expended 141. 7s. in attempting to recover 171. 75., and was no nearer a success ful issue than he was at the beginning. Lord Campbell said: We think there should be a rule in this case, in order that all the facts may be brought fully before us. BAIL COVItT.—YiSTERDAT. amass a 141.00.—Arsoas Ns. Jventis QtEIN r.

This was an action brought by the well-known Captain Charles Henry Aekerley against the Zoological Society, to recover the sum of 101. for a penalty incurred by the breach of the act 5 & 6 William IV., cap. 59, called Martin's Act, against cruelty to animals. The court was crowded, the Lord Chief Justice, several members of the House of Com mons, and other influential person., having been sublicenaed to give evidence. The plaintiff appeared in person. and the society was re presented by a solicitor, who, upon the opening of the case, called his Honour's attention to the plaint, note, or sum mons, which would evidently show that his Honour Ind no jurisdiction. Captain Ackerley applied to have the summons read out in court, which request was complied with by the judge. The learned Judge—You bee the objection is, air, that there is no remedy under this act of parliament. Captain Aekerley (a little excited)—Then, sir, I beg to be sworn, for under the existing laws that act is supposed to be repealed. I wish to show that there is a false record in the House of Lords. (Laughter.) The book was then given to the captain to be sworn, when he exclaimed, " This book put into my hands is a book, I apprehend—liber—(laughter)—but I am sworn in under the standard Do /isrunt." (Renewed laughter.) The learned Judge—That is not the New Testament, but the Old. Captain Ackerley- 7 lf this, then, is the same substance, I'll swear; but if it is not, I have nothing to do with the other part. (Orvat laughter.) Because. I argue that the 6th and ith chapter of that book is the whole sum and substance of the Bible. (Increased laughter.) For the cause of justice (emphatically) I kiss anything. I'm now sworn. The Judge—That is not swearing. You refuse to be sworn, then ? The Captain—l beg your pardon. This is the Book of Hebrews . -* The Judge—But you refuse to bo sworn upon the Gospel ? The Captain (spiritedly)—Well, sir, if justice is tobe per formed, and u we are at Rome we must do as ltome toes. (Oreat laughter.) Captain Ackerley then entered into a long and desultory statement, in which he complained of the cruelty on the part of the society of which he alleged he himself was a member, towards certain animals in the gaitens. He spoke in particular of feeding the serpents with live pigeons. The learned Judge here interrupted, and drew the plain till's attention to the act of parliament, showing that he had no jurisdiction. Captain Ackerley (with much liveliness)—l beg your pardon, sir, you have. At the plaintiiirs request Mr. James Gilpin was then called. Mr. Gilpin said he was a clerk in the House of Commons. The plaintiff had certainly applied to the house for the act of parliament, 12 and 13 N'ic., within this last week, eels. five to the " cruelty to animals," but continued the witness, ke war not allowed to give any evidence with regard to practice of the house without an order. The Plaintiff—The certifying to false records by the house is a felony, and the act specifies that they or any one shall be subject to be called before a court of justice to answer any such :barge. But, sir, I find that that act is partially repealed, and therefore I have summoned this witness from the House of Commons, as it is clearly a falsi fication. This gentleman says he is not allowed to bring the necessary papers without an order from the House of Commons, and therefore I must apply fur an adjournment to complete my case. He then quoted the act .5 & 6 Viet., cap. 97. l'he Judge—You must go before a justice of the peace to recover any penalty in this matter. The Plaintiff-1 have been there, sir, and that has induced me to come to you. The case is' so . eztraordinary that I nave subpcenaed Lord Chief Justice Campbell, who, I be lieve, is here now for the purpose of saving you from any sort of error. (The whole court again became convulsed with laughter.) And atter much more discussion of an equally ludicrous nature, the learned judge decided that no order could be made, as it was clear that the case (if any) would be oue for the consideration of the justices of the peace. Capt. Ackerley then applied for his hearing fees to be re turned, but which was of coune refused. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. A person who stated himself to be a clergyman of the church of England was brought before the Lord Mayor non the charge of having stolen a shilling from the plate of the church of All Hallows, Barking. Mr. George Creston, vestry clerk of the parish of All Hallows, Barking, said—l hose been desired by the church , wardens of the parish to charge the prisoner with having abstracted money from the plate used last night at the lee ' lure in our church. As I was going to Mr. Plummer, who was holding the plate at one of the dome, to say that there was no use in staying any longer, the prisoner went up to the plate, put his hand into it, and took out something. I immediately seized the prisoner's hand, and, upon opening it, found a shilling in it. I then took him to the vestry-room, and afterwards, by the directon of the churchwarden, to the station house, where hew is charged with the robbery. The collection was for the bu nefit of the evening lecture fund. Mr. Plummer is one of our oldest parishioners, and ho was therefore requested to hold the plate. The prisoner told me that ho did not take any money out of the plate, and that he hail placeikaixpence in it. No money was taken from him. The solicitor to the prisoner—Did you see him take the money from the plate ? Witness—l could not see what he took out of the plate until I opened his hand. When I saw him put his hand in the plate I grasped it immediately. I saw his fingers go right down upon the money in the plate. Mr. John Plummer , of Tower-street, said I was holding the plate at the north door of the church, and I saw the prisoner moving to the plate, and felt a pressure on the back part of my band as his fingers went into the plate. I saw a sovereign in the plate, and my suspicion was that the prisoner was attracted by the sovereign, which was a new one and rather conspicuous. Mr. Creaton came behind him, and seizing his hand said, "You villain, you have taken something from the plate." The plate is a deep dish, and the fingers went into it. The prisoner's solicitor—Do you swear that you saw him take money out instead of putting it in ? Witness-1 can only state as to my belief, which was that he took money out. Mr 'John Silverloek, senior churchwarden of All Hallows, Barking, said, "I was holding a plate at the door of the principal entrance at the south aide, and the prisoner, as he was passing, put his hand into my plate, and I think he took something out. I observed a half sovereign in ml plate, but as I saw that was safe, I did not accuse him, as I did sot wish to condemn unjustly." Mr. Creaton.—Your lordship will observe, that when I took the prisoner into the vestry-room upon the charge of abstracting from the plate held by Mr. Plummer, Mr. Sa vories& directed me, from the belief that the prisoner had robbed his plate, to Mee him to be taken to the station house. The Lord Mayor.—Well, prisoner, do you wish to make any explanation ? Who and what are you ? Prisoner—l have been a aisegyntaa of the church of England upwards of thirty years. Lord Mayor—Axe you in widen now ? The prisoner —I am. I had one church in Worcester shire 20 years, and I have sented in Eye, in Suffolk, during the absence of the eisagyama thaw. I have two eons in =leireeassinnees in London, and I have letters e l. fiend urea me, sad which your lordship can reed es eviisnes of my respeelability. lam most willing and medens es give every explanation. The Lord Mayor—l am willing to give you every oppor tin* dunking the necessary explanation. If . you are in was , per mend position ia, indeed, most pa inful. The pdaeser : I had ia my _parse when I went to the plate Mid by the whom (Kr. _Plummer), a shilling, a six pens% sail a halfpenny. I paw out the shilling and six asisanSinandial ct i lbell i = o into n t t h im e plate, ar e ,in which my shilling was. The whets eleamanat sada as eeriest, with the exception of the point sets taltieg man sat d the plate ; for instead of taking maw sal I gat mew in. I most naturally wish for the meat south's' lavestigetiou into this extraordinary charge. I am the father of six sons and three daughters, and I never entertained a thought of committing such an offence as that with which I am charged. The Lord Mayor : Where do you live ? The Prisoner On Saturday night I slept in a coffeehouse in Dishopeote-street. The officer who apprehended the prisoner said: I took his purse from him, and I round a halfpenny in it, as he states. _ _ The Lord Mayor.—Did you make inquiries at the coffee house about him ?

The prieon r.—lt was my intention to pay what I owed at the house in Bisliopegate-street, of course; but this mis take interferes with my intention. The Lord Mayor.—lt is so important to the prisoner as well as to the authorities of the parish that this matter should be investigated, that I am resolved to cause the strict- est inquiry to be made into sill the statements; and I shall ' with that view remand the use for a few days.

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 3, 1851. LAiIBETII. Mr. Jarman, managing clerk to a ' , elicitor, with several respectable persons, attended before Mr. Elliott to support a charge of assault, preferred on a former day, against Mr. or Caplan' Williams, a member of the Army and Navy Club, Pall-mall. . _ . • Complainant stated that on the Oaks day, as he was re turning from Epsom, he was unfortunate enough to travel in a • e, for some distance, within a stone's throw of a drag, in w 'eh Williams, with several other pereons, was riding. From Tooting corner to the South Lambeth turn pike Williams and his associates pelted the complainant and his friends so continuously with eggs, that on reaching the latter point the victims wcrc almost hidden in yolk and white. At South Lambeth the offending parties were given into the charge of the police, but the tatter not being in suffi cient force at the place to secure the former, the gentlemen were allowed to proceed on giving their names and ad dresses. The names and addresses given were found to be incorrect, but the whereabouts of Captain Williams was dis covered by his being followed by one of the sutfercrs to the Army and Navy Club, and a summons was taken out against him. HIS companions would in all probability have gut scot free out of the serape, bad it not been fur as in cident that occurred at South Lambeth, and which has led to the disclosure of the names of two others of the party. When the gentlemen were given into the custody of the police, and the latter were struggling to take them to the station-house, Mr. Henry Peat, the saddler, in Old Bond street, rode up, and bring acquainted with the names of several of them, and also knowing Mr. Jarman personally, he undertook to furnish the latter with them, and on this understanding the aggressors were allowed to proceed. On the summons being called on yesterday, Captain Williams was out present, and English, one of the summoning officers, deposed that he had called at the Army and Navy Club to serve Mr. Williams with the summons, and was told that he was out. This he (English) had reason to believe was not true. It was his impression that the gen tleman was at the club at the time, and he left the sum mons with the porter in the hall to give it to Mr. Williams. Mr. Jarman, addressing the magistrate, said he had sum moned Mr. feat for the purpose of identifying Mr. Wil liams as oae of the offenders, and as Mr. Peat was then pre sent, and was well acquainted with the persons of the other delinquents, he hoped his worship would call on him to disclose their naides, so that he (Mr. Jarman) might be enabled :to institute proceedings against them. Mr. l'eat observed that he was placed iu rather an awk ward dilemma in the matter. lie understood that a soli citor from the parties accused had called on Mr. Jarman, and hail offered to pay for all the damage they had done and any espouses they might have been put to, provided his worship consented to the case being so settled. Mr. Elliott remarked that ho could not permit an out rage of so serious a public character to be compromised in any such way, and added that lie considered Mr. l'eat bound to disclose the names of the offending party. Mr. l'cat replied that, in deference to his worship's opinion, he should give up the names of two of the parties on the " drag," and these were Messrs. Henry and Thomas Dinualale, the seas of the banker, who lodged at No. 10, Bury-street, St. James's. Mr. Jarman said that he had in attendance a poulterer in Seagate Market, who sold and delivered at the house, 10, Bury-street, a cask continuing 500 or 1,000 eggs a day or two before the races. Che written talon:nation of Mr. Peat and Mr. Jarman was then taken and sworn to, and Mr. Elliott granted warrants against Captain Williams and both the Meson. Mandate. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.

The report having been unanimously adopted, the meeting separated. THE TAX ON RAILWAY FARES.—Extraet from the minutes of a meeting of general managers of railways held in the Euston-station, 22u5 flay: Mr. Harding draws attention to the position of those companies who are aggrieved . by the interpretation put upon clause 9 of 7 and 8 let., cap. fti (providing an exemption from tax on fares at and under ld. per mile), by the railway commiardonen and the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, on which Mr. Swift has reported that a remedy, by legislative enact ment, cannot at present be anticipated. Reaffived—That the attention of the committee of the Clearing-house be respectfully called to the unsatisfactory position of thi s question, the railway companies being now refused all exemption from tax on. excursion fares, though under Id. per m il e, except on the lowest fare—that is to say, if in an excursion train running 100 miles the fares are is., 6e., and 34., it iconly an the 31, fare that the commissioners will ?rant exemption from tax. A !penalty is thus practically imposed on giving any but the worst class of carriage accommodation. This will be much more severely felt in a • shape, as the excursion train traffic to the Exhi on increases, and should therefore, it is submitted, be baked to before each incursions coilmenoB."
