The pernanent peace establishment which he mount should be sufficient to do all garrison duty at home sad in the colonies, and leave besides a sufficient force at home to protect the country from any attacks that could possibly be made upon it. THE LAND CORPS. Mr. JOHN LOCKE celled the attention of the house to the claims of the artificer. of the Lend Transport Corps anrotoil during the Crimean war, arising out of the non.fullibeent of the oonditioes under which they were enlisted, ■nd asked the Secretary for War whether it WWI the intention of the government to satisfy their claims, or to cause an inquiry so le made respecting them. Mr. Alderman SALOMON'S said these men had not hail their fair hire awarded to them, and be was one of those who believed that every rasa was vrarthy of his hire. l;olon.•l NORTH said Ise had served (or SOWS month, on the committee which ►ad to inquire int* the claims of the olffimr. of this corps, and be believed the esnarniteas recom mended a course which resulted in complete Nation being done. He thought the position of these men should be inquired into, and the remit might be equally satisfactory. He therefore hoped the government would take their case into ooneideration, in order that justice might be dorm to them. (Hear.) THE YEOMANRY CAVALRY.

He was aware that a[7sls years the Guards had been very severely d. with by the different warrants regulating pemestima, and pedlar there teas no one more respell& for what bad occurred thus himself. Before the euesents of 1864 mid 1868 the (hard' had a step of hawses, risk la shame of their re gimental rank, and it was seepred to the pernment that they occupied a parties dieproperMeeste to the number of their officers. By the warmed el MN est was altogether done away with. The sherellios had mile a very great difference, and as hon. sad paha racer opposite had written a very age parophlge epee the subject, complain. log of the effect which hod hem produced. He (Mr. 8. Herbert) was himself afraid that be might be considered to have premed hardly upon the perdu, but he had simply the fd what be felt to be a dets . l . lle must say that statement which bad been e& his hon. friend the member for Lambeth (Mr. 1 1 1 - ), that the duty of the Guards ecoribei in marching from the Tower to Windsor, showed an entire forget fulness of the services which that distinguished corps had rendered to the country. Whenever an impor tant service was to be undertaken requiring ability and experience, the Goads were invariably resorted to, being always in the highest state of efficiency and (Hear, hear.) The on. baronet (Sir J. Trelawny) bad also raised a portion whether or not aideadeounp were subject to examination. His answer or that they were not only subjected to an examination, but that it was an exami nation of some importance, such as existed in almost no other country in the world. They were examined not only upon military matters, but were expected to he ac. quainted with different languages, while in Prussia, which was the most examining country in the world, and which attached the most iisaire importance to the theoretic' sl tests, there was no examination in reference to eides-de-camp at all. (Hear, hear.) A gal. last officer opposite had called attention to the militia, which he said was a very large force upon paper, but which at the mine time he sad, with great justice, was an 'Mi =arm of the service that he did not see how it could an away with without great detriment to the public service. Very recently all the paper men of the militia had been struck off, and those only were included who formed part of the e ff ective force of the various regiments. It was satisfactory to know that the number of men who had come up for drill this year had been a large increase upon the number which assembled lan year. He bad just sent out a circular announcing that the Commander-in-Chief bad rued moat stringent regulations to recruiting parties' spinet any attempt to induce militiamen to enter the line. His (Mr. S. Herbert's) opinion was that it was as absurd to ask a militiamen to down in order to enlist into the line as it was to ask • private to desert from one regiment for the purpose of joining another. The evil which had hitherto been experienced had arisen from the practice of accepting men in the militia who but for the establishment of that force would have [mind their way into the line. So hr a direct Wary was inflicted upon the line, and the militia was not strengthened, inasmuch as the men who were enlisted could not he depended upon when they were obtained. He thought the public committed a great error in drawing a coolest ison between the disembodied and embodied regiments. They rid that twenty-eight days' tiering was not enough to make an efficient soldier. Nobody contended that it was, but if they wanted a reserve, which would not cost as much as regular troop, but which with a little further training and drill might be rendered efficient, the militia waathe most valuable auxiliary they could provide, inasmuch ea the WI days' Gaming and combined cheapness on one hand mad a certain advance towards efficiency on the other. His ' hon. friend the member for Lambeth (Mr. Williams) as• sorted that upon questions of this nature every man who bad ever out upset the Treasury bench combined to support the government. without reference to economy in the pub. lie service. However much they differed in other matters, his honourable friend said they combined es this. But whet was the meson? Why, in all other matters they were influenced by party motives, while Is this but one feeling animated them, namely, the paramount necessity of placing the country in possession of a nucleus of defence, such as would at all times reader it seenparatively secure. (Hear, hear.) A gallant officer opposite (General Peel) said that the urns of relish had been so much broken in upon that it could not be any Joiner maintained. There was great truth in that remark, but the system was comparatively modern. At one time regiments passed immense periods abroad, and there were ' no regulations on the subject. When regulations were adopted many disturbing care—such, for in stance, as the Indian wan, the Russian war, and the Indian mutiny—prevented them from being earned out. But the great reductions which were mule in the times of Sir R. Peel were math, when the state of Europe was ex. Inmate tranquil. No doubt it might he comidered still so ; but we were now providing for the great reductions of our military storm which were then imposed upon us. We had been for ys truggling against arrean of artillery ammunition and every end, which wars required for all parts of the world. Let the hones not fall into such an error again. (Hear, hear.) And when hon. gentlemen talked of soonoory, he must my he ford great diffleulry in carrying their proposals into effect. (Hear, hear.) The Secretary of lttste for War found it extremely hard to resist appeal, for increased remuneration for excellent oaken who fancied themselves underpaid. It must be remembered also that we had the molt expensive and highly paid army in Europe, and when we increased the remuneration of officers, their number must inevitably be diminished. (Hew, hear.) He now came to the question which had been put to him by the hon. gentleman Mr. John Locke) about the lend Transport Coops; and he certainly was in hopes that that question was ahroady se-tled. Th is was •subject upon which a great deal of dis cussion bad taken place ;a committee had sat epos the sub ject and bad come to the Preclusion that the claim of these pawns was sot founded upoo any agreement to width they came before they entered the Queen's service. It appeared they bad been espied for es. a day, and he (Mr. S. Her bert) really thought at first that that sum had not been paid to them. It was not bud pay for men who were not Itlorra. Well, it turned out that they had actually been in the resipt of thee sum. Then it was said that they had been di - elarged. But one of the ewers eonslitiona ~n which they were retained was, "provided their services were not required" This was a clear and pretty strong qpialitien. Goo. Dot when the lion. member for Greenwich dis played a gigantic placard he (Mr. S. Herbert) felt alarmed lest some recruiting zealot, regardless of truth, bad been aneonneing that tree men were to receive some three months' gratuity at the expiration of their term of service. But not a bit of it ; the Pla card agreed perfectly with the a ment that had been entered into, and he really thought there was not a sha dow of a ironed for this eoppose.l grievance. He ought further to my that the hoard of Lord Pannier* bad ac tually beard the case of every one of them peers who heir himself aggrieved and had disposed of he oar iris fa. verily. He now CAMP to the question which the pliant onion opposite (thdrieel Lindsay) had bromeht forward with reefer to the general order of 1/426, who had accepted in.:roams' rank upon taking half-pay, the government having thought it eriesesary at that tame to relieve the list ; and be most rakes that after looking at the term, of the order he thought the Treasury had come to a right °occlusion. Ile thought that no man could have COEDS to the conclusion that racers, who had been promoted by step upon increased reek were to mein, not only the advantages of half-pay, but also all the advan tages of full pay during that period. Two pan before this procee•ling the rule was that six years' service as field racers was necessary for general oaken who accepted pro• rare. The pliant officer said be thought it • hardship that these officers should be re half-pay for so many pers. But it must be remembered that they sompted it. Noose forted them to take it ; sod they sot s step in rank ; and sines that they bad kept rising. The gallant oiler said they did mot intend to marry. But surely that was their misfortune. (Laughter.) There wait a osessitly for the rule repirog six yews' service as field-olliaws, nerdy, the Necessity of ham; experience. They realm' se esmaption from this rule ; and therefore he mar fay, although them might lie a doubt as to the words et the ceder—although be should not have detected it himself until It was parted out to bins—he thought the Treasury had come to • right reclusion. With reprd to the medical oaken, and the complaory rule which made it necessary that they shoal/ retire at the age of fifty-five, he thought the advantages most bs taken with the disad vantages. 18 gas them Mew rots. of heli-Pay, and it secured a more rapid promotion. With reprd to the question of the military expenditure of the adores, he wished to expiate that with reseeit _to mount of UN% that of Vieteris • blank had beet left as to the sums which they were sheet le pay into the milker, rehoper. Mese maids. up the estimates, it was nessemery to law before hand what the colonies intended to die as reprded their military expenditure ; and as the view of the colony were often subject to chaff, it was nesessary in same eases to leave the amount is Bank. He *ovate the colony would take it ill, if it thole& ON ea aseretioa was left to than ; although theAspleke view et possibly be the mere ivied OM. An t i =llll to tae question of 7212A1m5% be certsialy gist there Irma a great ka t bad fans* from the hoe. and Whet member which was tatreme c lg el ord ; but it nest be remembered that like the melsears, were a pecalisr arkil ar, sad were eligible for • greet variety of posts to which other attains were mot admimihki. The difilealty of employing artillery =loon the daft was no doubt very great. (Hear, lew • corps without purchase, the alien in the upper ranks were sea etc age.

(Beer, low) There wee eree et the sepe el seventpone, sod three . eqterniamemenies i the Itie of sixty. The mane remark, of coarse, applied to the =glasses; With raspiest to artillery officers. it should be remembered that thew pay was very high ; one colonel was generally on leave whilst another was in co mmand. The pay was 265. • dsty. whilst that of a colonel in the line was only 17s. They bed also two colonels aed four lieutenant-colonels. Then they bad, of course, the entire monopoly of the staff of their own corps ; and he held in his band a list of upwards of forty artillery officers who held other appointmenta. (Tbe right bon. gentlemen her read erred - names from the list.) However, he thought that the case of artillery clime in comma/ad of • detect where there was • form of four er five thouand men was worthy of consideration, and it was. in fact, at that moment under consideration by the Owe inender-in-Chisf. With respect to the beecerside member who asserted that the War-office bought bra only to be fired upon, he begged to say that governs:wed bought land as private individuals did, with the under. standing that they were to have full control over it. He sew men to the question of the hon. and gallant member for Weekainater. The boa. and gallant officer had asked Ides whether be was reepomble for the recent appointment of Gessra/fGrey. He r. 8. Herbert) replied that he would rather the hon. and gallant member should ask him the question in the House of Commons when the awainthsed had been publicly questioned. The hon. and pt cdPcer had cosesseced by reeding an extract from the widows of Lord Atom Semenet, who said that ooloneleies of reel simis wens given on three grounds. First, they were gives to officers for war Nieces ' • secondly, for colonial servise ; and thirdly, for comma nds efficiently filled at home, The hoe and gallant officer added that he sup posed Clenetel Grey's appointment bad come under the last th esr esi L ffe rar.) Now he (Mr. t He d t i ert) begged to r e ply iid that bead. IfieVsese isi tn ia te tmen ted in the pablicp red c iin al t:til l at General Grey had never seen any service out of Hyde-park. But what were the facts ? He served in the 413 rd Begt., and ewhis that time was twice in the colonies. He commanded the 7114 in Canada for nine years, a portion of which seethe the Canadian rebellion. General Grey went also Tree of top! in the expedition of 1826. Here were import ant services, both foreign and colonial. He denied, there fore, in toto, the assertion that General Grey had seen no service except in Hyde-park. Besides, he had been passed over several times ; and as to the officers whose services had been quoted, no doubt they bad seen service, but in many came ft wan as subaltern's, and they bad been on half-pay ever since. They had not, in fact, remained in the profession, whibtOeneralG rey bad been more than once passed over for officers who had seen lees service than himself. It was true that he (Mr. Herbert) had made the appoint ment as Secretary of State, bet it was made on the recom mendation of the Duke of Cambridge. The Duke of Cam bridge said bethought General Grey's services were such that he could not be passed over any longer, and added, that whilst nothing could be more wrong than to an officer an appointment bemuse he had • at court, on the other band nothing could be more unfair than to refuels him one for that reason. He (Mr. Herbert) then asked the Duke whether, if General Grey had been General Smith, without a plaos at court, or not being related tog noble family, he would have recom mended him ; and the answer was, that in that case he weld have had his regiment long before. Well, then, he (Mr. Herbert) said it would be a cowardly, shabby act to have refused • man his fair turn of promotion simply because he held • place at court. See what would be the consequences of such a rule. The Queen had surrounded her children with officers of dietiactios. The Prince of Wales had Colonels Bruce and newish", the latter the officer who had so • • ed himself at Kara Prince Alfred bad Colonel Cowe and Prince Arthur Major Elphinstone. If these officers were to have a black mark set against their names for being at court, they would be excluded from places where it was for the interest of the country that the best men should be placed. He believed that nothing could be more unjust than such exclusion, and that it would be • mean, shabby, and cowardly course to refuse • man on account of his position at court that to which under other circumstances he would have been entitled. With respect to General leglas, it wee thought a graceful W ith give him the regiment with whose assistance he had so pliantly defended Luoknow. He did not think he bait any further observations to make, and he traded that the house would allow him to take the first vote with out discussion. Mr. DISRAELI said the hon. and gallant member for Westminster had raked a question rimuchgreater importance than that which was involved in the ppeeoommootttso.on of an Indivi dual. The right hon. ;Innen er= ' hid mood dent newer to the c with respect to General Grey, but the (Landon should not argued on mere personal grounds. He (Mr. Disraeli) had no particular reason to be prejudiced in favour of General Grey, as his early political recollections pointed to three cuotested elections, in all of which he bad been defeated by that gallant officer. (A laugh.) Had the gallant general achieved three equal victories in war he supposed that his recent appointment w ould . not have been questioned . But on the general quantum, were they to lay it down as • rule that bemuse as .oar held an appointment at court he was to be looked upon as • soldier who bad forfeited hie promotion. It had been for centuries the custom of this country to form the royal house ' hold to • considerable extent of meinben of the military profession, and were they to make the officers selected the victims of the custom' It was the interest of this country that the sovereign and r i :V p l a. rinoe:should be surrounded by men of station and of feeling —men who had • sense of great re. sponaibility, and therefore nothing was more unwise than that the house should discountenance the promotion of those who held appointments in the royal household, but who banged to the military profession, provided they were fully entitled. (Hear, hear.) So long as that system it was of the utmost importance and of the highest public Interest that officers who accepted appointments in the royal household mould be men of the h4hest class, and that they should not consider that bemuse they accepted such appointments, they would be de prived of future promotion in their profession. The gallant officer who had been referred to that night was not only the son of an illustrious statesman, but bad per formed all his duties In a manner which fully entitled him . to public credit. (Hear, hear.) He entirely agreed with the right hon. gentleman, the Secretary for War, that this was not a case in which the government should seek apo- I4es for the appointment. (Hen, bear.) Colonel DICKSON would take that opportunity of stating that the very fact of the appointment of Sir J. Inglis, would necessitate his resigning his pension for distinguished seniors. The house then went Into committee of suppl y Mr. B. HERBERT said at that hour he would only state what were the main differences between the two estimates before he asked the committee to go to the first vote. In No.l, the change was him the sir battalions of infantry and one regiment of ovally coming borne from India. In No. 3 there was •diminution of 54,0001. on account of the reduced number of men raised, and 15,0001. for the purchase of horses for artillery, not now wanted. There was a dimi• notion for postponing the building of a military prison in Canadr, and a reduction upon wages, which belonged to that part of the reduction made on the vote for stores, in consequence of • less amount of work being performed in the carriage department of the Arsenal than was prepared. The reduction with regard to clothing was the reduction on free kits. The right lion, gentleman then propeed the first vote of an additional number of 1,907 men for the military service of the United Kingdom. Colonel P. HERBERT observed that the 8,000 men in the real increase of the army barely represented the force which the government had lately sent to China. He saw also there ems still in the estimates • considerable vote for the embodied militia. He thought this was not • eatis dietary arrangement. le answer to General Uerces, Mr. B. HERBERT said he could not hold out any hope that the government would increase the present rate of peesions. It was thought much better to lOttllM the pay of the army under the abort service system then to add to the este of pensions. Bre F.

Mr. H. HERBERT replied that it was because the Indian depot varied very much in amount during the year, and they had therefore taken a fair average. The vets was thee agreed. to.

The sellehle et esseeistion of the company contained only asse pawrisioe in reference to the powers of the coin ry and the general e ff ect of th at provision was to ttithe direction of the a ff airs of the company directors, who were to do all things neoessay for its due carr7ing on. The company had, in accordance with their object, obtained alot of land in Victoria-street, and had erected a large buil ding as an hotel upon it. In January last the directors entered into negot i ations with Mr. Digby Wyatt, who acted on behalf ri th e India Board, for letting • portion of the hotel to that body at the rent of 6,0001. • year for the term of three years. In order to render the portion of the home let tenantable for the purposes of the India Board, • sum of 2,000/. would have to be expended in atetahms. By one of the articles of the agreement for letting the Secretary of State for India was to afford the company a monopoly during the tenancy for the amply of the premises with provision", beer, wine, sgirits, liquors, and refreehmenta. The plaintiff, who was a shareholder in the company, objected to the agreement for letting to the India Board as contrary to the objects of the company and as • comparatively unproductive me of its capital . He therefore Bled the present bill. Upon the motion coming on it was agreed that it should be taken as • motion for • decree. Mr. Ciiii•rd Jared were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Bolt, Mr H. Cairns, Mr. Forsyth, and Mr. Cotton, ap peared for the defendants. The Vioe-Chancellor said that this use could not be de. termined upon the narrow ground of the meaning of the wend hotel. He wee ready to assume that the main fes tive of the company was the carrying on of a tavern end hotel business, and not the permanent occupation of the building by a government board. He would &Leo as. some that the letting off • large portion of the building to soak • board was not consistent with the carry ing on of such a jade. The true question, how ever, was whether the proposed step was within the power of the directors. Now the directors were not bound to ow the whole of the hotel at once ; they might, if they edged it expedient, open a portion of it only. Clearly the court could not interfere to require the open. lag of the entire hotel. But if the directors might open • part only of the building for hotel purposes, they surely were not bound to keep the remaining portion in an un productive date. This was the very position of things which had occurred here. The directors proposed to open part of the premises as an hotel, and to let off the re mainder for the purposes of the India Board. His Honour thought this might be done, and the hill mart be dismissed with costs. sent by Mr. Brie at all, and I Dent for a policeman and gave him in Charlt ar tofield, a clerk in the service of Mean.

He also stole some jewellery when be Lett on Christmas eve, beet we have not been able to find him since. The • er was remanded, that other cases might be spinet him. Mr. Archibald Boyd, one of the directors of the Union Bank of London, residing at 116 Weetbourne-grove, wee =mooed to answer the following charge of assault Emma Coulson, in the service of Mr. Abraham Rhodes, of Clarendon stated that on Monday afternoon, about hilf-pest five o'clock, she was in an omnibus at the end of Farringdon-street, when the defendant and several other gentlemen got in. A quarrel ensued, and the defendant called one of them a liar, and the party ad dressed retaliated by calling defendant an old blackguard, whereupon he (defendant) immedni struck at the party with his umbrella, which after ng' of his hat came in contact with her face, end such was the severity of the blow that it left her with a most unequivocal black eye. The ooadottor insisted upon the q parties leaving the omnibus, which they did accordin g ly, and when the omnibus stopped at the end of Tot.tem-court-road com plainant got out and returned to meet the defendant, and upon her asking him what redress she was to have for her black eye, he declared he had never seen her before in his life. Ellen Newman, the complainant's aunt, corroborated this evidence, and added that her own little girl was also struck with the umbrella. The defendant said he was returning home from the bank with two friends, Colonel Simpson and Mr. Charles Lyall, also a director of the Union Bank of London, when he attempted to get into the omnibus in question. A drunken man struggled with them for admission, and after he was in he began to use abusive Lingua^ and he (de fendant) knocked off his hat with his umbrella ; but he belived it was physically imposeible for the umbrella to have touched the complainant. Mr. Lyall said he could only substantiate Mr. Boyd's ac count of the occurrence. When the complainant accosted them she asked what money they were going to give her. The complainant denied asking specifically for money. She only asked for redress for the injury she had received. She had been unable to attend to her duties for several days, and her mistress had directed her to take out this summons against Mr. Boyd. Alderman Finds said the girl was perfectly justified in aLrini for money under the circumstances. He rug that it was a case for compensation, but on the rfe7ndant leaving the matter to his decision he decided that defendant should pay complainant the sum of 20s. for the damage she had sustained, sad 3a. for the costs of the summons. The money was of course immediakay paid. SOUTHWARK. . _ _ A few days ago an trxtzWiliM;ryapplication was made to the sitting magistrate by • young snea for • passport to pro ceed to France, producing at the same time the nommeary recommendations and sureties as to ohmmeter and proper conduct. In answer to the magistrate he said that he was a journeyman shipwright, and that be wished to go to Cher bourg, in France, where there was plenty of work. He was asked why he required to go to Cherbmg to work, as there must be plenty of work la the United King dom ; if not in the government yards, in the private yards. Applicant r ep lied that a short time ago he, with about live hundred other., were suddenly d i scharg ed from the Portsmouth Dockyard, besides other artisans, and the rea sons assigned were the want of timber and other material' to go on with the immense work in hand. The shipbuilding troth was also just now very slack in the private yards, so that himself and a number of others could not get work in England. Understanding that they were much required in the dockyard in Cherbourg and other parts of France ho wished to go there. Fifty of the men were a short time sgo takes away in • French vessel for Cherbourg, and all the rest, except himself, had since followed, and had plenty of work. Apptissnt further added that be was not aware whether many from other dockyards had left on the same errand, bat he knew that numbers of English shipwrights were working in the French dockyards. The magistrate, after examining the applicant's security, and finding him satisfactory, granted the application. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY AT ROBY. The adjourned inquiry into the death of William Taylor, the engine -driver who was lulled at Roby, oaths Lon don and North Western Railway, wasresumed at fit.George's hall, Liverpool, yesterday (Thursday), before Mr. Wybergh, the deputy coroner. Mr. Blenkinsopp appeared for the company, T and Mr. Atherton for the friends of the deceased, list witness examined was Mr. Brewer, of Liver pool, who attributed the accident to the deficiency of pre ventive gavels at Roby station. The signal semaphores should be some distance from the station, and a clump of trees near the curve of the line removed. Mr. T. Liverpool, agreed with the last witness as to the de fi ciency of preventive signals at Roby, and said that he thought passengers should always be en abled to jump out of railway carriages. The first medical roan arrived three-quarters of an hour after the accident. Mr. George Glynn, merchant of Liverpool, also agreed with the preceding witnesses, and thought that there was a great deficiency of communication between the stations on the London and North Western Railway • but he thought the Liverpool and Manchester line was ?rear from accident than any other line in the kingdom. Wm. Colton, fireman of the passenger train, said that the deceased was with his engine three-quarters of an hour before they left Fdgehill. J. Roberta, station muter at Itchy, said that he doubted if the driver of the coal train bad seen the signals in time as his steam was not "shut off." He did not think the speed of the coal train slackened till it was about three hundred yards from the station. The coal train would be about four hundred yards from the passenger train when the signal man waved his flag. He thought that the sema phore signal at Roby could be seen 90111 yards off. This was the first accident that occurred since he had been (for thirteen years) station master at Rohy. The present signals at Roby have been there five years. The danger signal was hoisted as soon as the passenger train stopped at Roby. There was a drizzliog min at the time, whidi made the rails slippery. When be saw the coal train approaching he had only time to shout " Look out" to the deceased, who was under his engine. In spite of the curve, an engine-driver, keeping a good look out, could see 800 yards along the line. The driver of the coal train most have seen the man at the Roby station waving fiats. He (witness) took every pre caution to prevent a collision. John Aakew signal man at Roby said that he put up the danger signal as awn OA the train stop and he ran 400 yards towards Liverpool and waved which the driver of the coal train said he saw, and whit he could easily have observed 800 yards off. Had been nearly two yeses at Roby, and had always been able to stop an advancing train by hoisting danger signals. The engine driver of the coal train was quite sober. John 13ellis, a platelayer at Roby, saw the semaphore I signals. When he saw the coal train the steam was shut off. — itkitSid Church, the guard of the passenger-train, mid that when he saw a collision was inevitable, he told the pamengen to get out, and also shouted to the deceased to try and get up steam. When the train stopped, the do ceased said they would not be detained more than a minute OT 00. The inquiry wan adjourned. A Pate cave LEAP.--OH Saturday Let Walter Anderson. ban meant, took, at inch, the 1.20 p.m. train from Keith to sooompany to Inveramsay a sister who was on her way to Aberdeen. He expected this train to stop at Inverammay, but not being advertised to do so, it passed as usual. Anderson, however, opened the carnage door and leaped out on to the platform. On alighting, the motion communicated to his body by the train carried him forward some 10 or 15 yards, and when taken up be was quite sense. lent, and remained so fur *tome time.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover compensation in damages, for injuries received through the alleged negligence of the defendant. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Field were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Keralake and Mr. wain were counsel for thedefendant.

In a day or two after the defendant called, saying Is had brought the workman who had left the trap open, but plaintiff refused to see him. The defendant, it appeared, was a builder, and bad anodic* on the premises in question. .The premises at the time of the accident were under and the defendant was fre quently there, as if them.

The plaintiff, being about taking a public-home of Mr. Clifton, was referred to her friend, Mr. Baylis. The de fendant, • broker, afterwards represented that he had applied, on behalf of the plaintiff, to Mr. Baylis, who said that the takings in the public-house were 8/. • day, and had been 101. The plaintiff thereupon purchased the house, but soon found out that nothing near this amount of busi ness was done. He thereupon sued Mrs. Clifton for making • false representation by the mouth of Mr. Baylis, but at the trial it was said that Mr. Baylis had never made any such statement, and that the statement was an invention of Mr. Dunn for his own benefit. The plaintiff, conse quently, failed in his action against Mrs. Clifton, and he now sued Mr. Dunn, not only for the loss sustained by the public-house, but also for the costa he had incurred in the suit against Mrs. Clifton. The trial took place before Mr. Justice Byte*, when the jury found for the plaintiff for 5811. Be. 6d. Subsequently, a rule was obtained to reduce the damages by deducting 181/.
