His lordship thought he was not, at least up to the time-when he took the benefit. of the Act; but since that time he had been concerned in trans actions. which his lordship said he would wish a friend of his - rather to avoid. (Laughter.) Ills lordship, however, did not find that he (the plain tiff) derived any benefit from them, or that he had defrauded others. He did not rig the market, as some had done, and then .sell his shares. Still it would have been better for.him if he had continued • an inspector of nuisances. - His lordship did not think the case was one for merely nominal damages —' ' the jury would take care that they were not -eessive. It gave him (Lord Campbell) great pain to S. a journal which had established a character of respectability open its columns to the private enemy of the plaintiff. In so doing it had departed from the system which gave the journal its char lc ter, and had done what a journal ought not to do. But if, under pretence of establishing commercial purity, the defendant had opened his columns to the private enemy of the plaintiff he must bear the burden. His lordship again cautioned the jury against giving the plaintiff vindictive damages, and hoped they would give only what was mode rate and reasonable. The jury, who from the commencement of the trial appeared to have taken a strong view in favour of the plaintiff, retired to consider their verdict, and in a few minutes returned into court and found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages £2OO. mil.-~r-1;;i:-,S AIR.

" The plaintiff in this action, Stephen Neal, de scribed himself as a mining engineer and secretary to three mining companies, and he sued the defen dant, Edwin Wilmot Seale, the proprietor of the Sunday Times, to recover damages for three libels published in that newspaper, imputing to the plain tiffthat he was a getter up of bubble companies, &c. The defendant pleaded the general issue, and also a plea of justification, alleging that the matters complained of were true in substance and fact. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, in opening the case to the jury, said the plaintiff had acquired some taste for mining affairs at Matlock, in Derbyshire, where he was born, but, having left his native place when 18 years of age, he went to Manchester, where he became inspector of nuisances, and afterwards, for a number of years, held the appointment of chief consable of Salford. In the course of last year he brought an action against a Mr. Isaac, of the firm of Isaac and Campbell, in Regent-street, and the jury found a verdict in his favour.

The Directors give notice that, in consequence of the great Pel undiminished demand for Steam Vessels upon the Indian rivers, and the wide field presenting itself for their profitable ;ployinent, they have resolved to double the capital of the °„Mpany, be Directors have the satisfaction of announcing that the steamers and barges, consisting of twelve vessels in all, which arr ived forwarded f rom thi s co un t r y i n August last, have now ...,rived safely in India, and will commence plying upon the rivers without delay. An equal number of vessels of still greater power is at present - in preparation, and will be sent Out fts soon as possible. Before embarking in the present-undertaking the Directors had not only satisfied themselves of its eminently profitable nature, but they had secured for it the marked co-operation . th . m in .._ by tho nerviiaitinn of a subsidy; and the Government, both by the gift of land for stations, Workshops, and depots, of wood for fuel, and in every other Way, has rendered every possible aid to the present under taking. At the same time the Directors have insured com plete exemption from Government control and interference; and this is the only Company so distinguished which pos sesses any Government support. The Directors have the satisfaction of finding that not only the Reports of the Company's servants in India, but the Whole concurrent testimony or the advises received from that Country, through whatever channel, completely confirms the f avourable anticipations they long since.formed of the profit "le character of the present undertaking. It would be im- Possible, however, within the limits or an advertisement, to b e PaPitulate the numerous evidences of this truth which the 'rectors are constantly receiving ; and they content them selves, therefore, with giving the following quotation from a leeent leading article in the "Times," which shows that Indian correspondents. had been reaching that paper through its -.wan correspondents. . r „ From the 'Times,' .Tan. 29, 1859.

But they have dlsb - all along felt that the only safe of entering. upon such im undertaking was not to rush into it with sanguine precipitation, -but to advance vrith gra pal and cautious .steps, and without being dazzled by the er 7e prospect of ofits it holds out.

Et - iso s•olid 14° ,1 of Bath stone and oblong in shape, being about six feet long by two feet wide, and its elevation is also about two feet. The following is the inscription on the stone :—" Sacred to the memory of John Parsons Cook, late of Calthorpe-lodge, county of Leicester, whose life was 'taken away on the night of the 22d of November, 1855, in the 29th year of his "Amiable and affectionate in his disposition; kind and generous in his conduct, he was sincerely beloved, and will long be lamented by his kindred and friends." On the sides of the stone are inscribed several texts of Scripture. --11Wrerlepptptoit chrtmielc. With respect to the future supply, the proposi tion is that at each of the large ports a training ship should be established, with accommodation for from 100 to 200 boys, half of whom should be maintained by the Government, and that these vessels should be under the superintendence of the Board of Trade, the main intention being to train boys for the merchant service. However, after the period of instruction has passed, the boys are to be inspected, a limited number only having the option of going into the navy. It is presumed that these training ships would furnish annually 1,200 able bodied lads, and that the different seaports would yield as many more, to the maritime occupations of the country, all of whom shipowners would be willing to take; contributing at the same time a small annual sum in aid of the Pension Fund. It seems that an annual contribution of £1 from the age of 14 would secure to the sailor a pension of £l2 a year by , the time he attained 50 ; of £l5 from 52 to 53 ; and of £lB at 55. It is therefore recom mended that £5 be paid quarterly to the seamen themselves, so as to secure their appearance at short intervals, and that the State, moreover, should con tribute £1 per annum to the Pension Fund for every man. The total annual cost of these school ships, including training in gunnery, would probably be £200,000 per annum. Recapitulating, then, briefly, the whole of the recommendations in the report, the country would by their adoption acquire a reserve of 60,000 men in addition to the 5,000 marines, suggested as a judicious increase to that force, and in addition also to 5,000 volunteers, who would probably be absent on leave in the merchant service. For the alleged increased security thus obtained the country would have to provide an annual sum altogether of £598,821, or in round numbers of £lO per man, for these additional levies. Admitting that anything like absolute immunity could be thus guaranteed, the charge cannot be deemed excessive, when we regard the enormous amount of insurance, the premium on which is thereby 'repre sented. The que3tion is, would the adoption of all the recommendations embodied in the report meet every probable exigency? We think not; and, as we have already observed, we consider that the scheme is not only likely to prove abortice, but far from being sufficiently comprehensive in its provi sions. No doubt tke problem to be solved is a diffi cult one ; but apart from all ulterior considerations it really amounts to this—How are we to have always an ample amount of reserves in time of peace, capable of being instantly available on the occur. rence of a sudden emergency, without unnecessarily crippling in the meanwhile the industrial resources of the community ? We have now seen the result of the aggregate wisdom, after long inquiry and mature deliberation, of a body, composed of peers of the realm, members of the legislature, admirals, and shipowners. At the same time it must be borne in mind, as already stated, one Commissioner, Mr. W. S. Lindsay, whose opinion as a plain prac• tical man and as an extensive shipowner would have been most valuable, declines to append his signature to the report. He must obviously have stated his reasons for adopting such a course, yet no clue whatever is afforded as to his grounds of dissent. Again, the report is entirely silent upon a very material topic, one which In the opinion of all ex perienced nautical men is at least as important as any that have been touched upon—namely, the means of insuring an adequate supply of officers in case of war. The public at large no doubt suppose —considering the long roll of officers of all denomi nations comprised in the Navy List—that there is enough, and more than enough, to meet any crisis. But this is a complete fallacy. Let us select, for instance, the lieutenants whose names stand on the roll for Jan. 1, 1359. The total number is 1,038, of whom 67 per cent. are now actually engaged on various services more or less important, leaving 350 to meet all contingen cies. But of these how many would prove effective? Some ten or a dozen of them are, it is true, afloat, but mostly on board ships in ordinary. The lieu tenant who heads this list has held his commission for nearly half a century, and must therefore be past 70, while the most juvenile must be some where between 40 and 50, consequently almost past the time when the greatest, amount of physical ability can reasonably be expected of him. Of the last 500 on the list, there arc 365 afloat, so that only 17 per cent. of those in the prime of life arc left by way of reserve. There were, on the Ist January, about 250 ves sels of all classes in commission, including 32 ships of the line. Now, supposing a sudden and serious emergency to occur, whence are we to obtain a requisite number of efficient officers, under the grade of commander ? We have surely seen enough of late, without specifying instances, of the ill effects of entrusting , important posts to superan nuated veterans; is it wise to run the risk of a recurrence of similar mishaps ? Still, no sugges tion has as yet been offered to meet the very patent defect above indicated. It is possible that impor tant advantages might be secured to the country by some approach to an amalgamation between the Queen's and the merchant service. In professional education, in social position, no less than in general attainments, the majority of officers in the mercan- tile marine are scarcely-, if in any respect, inferior to their brethren in the Navy. If an opening were aflorded whereby . those who had distinguished themselves professionally on board merchant ships could, upon passing a suitable examination, become eligible for commissions in the Royal Navy, not only would a higher tone be speedily infused into a fine body of gallant and enterprising young men, already trained to a sea life and to a certain extent disciplined, but the Government would be relieved of what must necessarily prove a formidable em barrassment on the first breaking out of hostilities. Whether this suggestion be adopted or not, it might be a wise course to throw open the advantages of Greenwich Hospital to well-conducted seamen who have served meritoriously for specified periods on board merchant ships. The income of that noble institution is now £140,000 a year, a sum which, if more judiciously expended, would provide a com fortable asylum for a far greater number than are benefited by the relief it provides, at the same time that, as a home in old age, its hospitable shelter would be eagerly sought, instead of being, as under the present regime, shunned. With respect to minor matters, there are many, well known to all naval men, to which we have scarcely space to advert just now, but they include a better organised system of payment, the abolition of the present obnoxious practice of flogging, as also the establishment under suitable regulations of libraries on board ship for instruction and amusement. We are upon the eve of great changes in the navy, c h ange s that have been long i m p er miyj v called. for, and the sooner the reformation of admitted abuses is set about in earliest, the bcliur it will be for the service. Far more is needed than is embodied in the report just printed. Indeed, as that document stands, we have little hesitation in expressing a conviction that it will never be acted upon. SYMPTOMS OF THE END OF THE SEPOY REBEL LION.— The berths on board the honiewanl Indian mail packets for several weeks to come are all takva, was of little interest, but it so happened that the trial excited a great amount of interest, from the circumstance that the plaintiff had been mixed up with the doings of the notorious Col. Waugh. The trial was reported at length in the daily papers, and was commented upon with great force in the Dail) News, and Morning Herald. But the Sunday Times, without publishing any report of the trial, on the Sunday following, viz., on the 19th.of Dec., 1858—published an article in which they made their first attack on the plaintiff. The article was headed "Raising the Wind," and the learned sergeant proceed-to read the greater portion of it, passage by passage, saying as he pro. ceeded that .he should prove that the libellous portions OW - were entirciy without foundati on . ! As the artiW:tfas afterwards read at length we insert it here entire. It was as follows : " RAISING THE WIND. " It is incredible how infinite is the variety of expedients whereby personal ingenuity draws upon public credulity for the means of szibsistence—in this Babel of active and ener getic life—from the modest inquiry of Jeremy Diddler, Have you such a thing as 10d. about you ?' —to the mag nificent delusions of a Sadleir or a Waugh. " The recent trial of Neal v. Isaac,' which at this mo ment occupies so large a portion of public attention, and which has elicited the editorial indignation of the Times, Daily News, and Morning Herald, against the fugitive colonel. 'of Eastern Bank notoriety, may be turned to more practical use as a caution against the bubble.mongers and bubble schemers who infest society. These harpies exist, and sometimes thrive, upon the weaknesses of their fellow-creatures. Their business is to delude the" unwary, that they may realise a golden crop from the seed of im pudence which they have sown broadcast upon the soil of ignorance and greed. " Thelgentlemsn of the scheming genus are of divers grades, from the crow to the kite ; and it is amusing to note the thousand expedients by which they feed themselves upon the tiny worm as its pokes its inquiring nose above the ground, in the purlieus of Bartholomew •lane, or upon the elephantine capitalist, who, obtruding his proboscis within the sanctum of Capel-court, falls a victim to the violent designs of more voracious cormorants, and becomes mere carrion for the fattening. of the ignoble vultures. " Itecurzing to the trial in the Queen's Bench on Mondtq last, we would observe that the verdict was found upon evi dence which was short of the whole truth; and it is an ano maly in our courts of judicature, that when the jury is sworn to give a verdict upon the evidence, the judge should presume to interpose his Imperious authority in prevention of the whole truth (pertinent to the inquiry, and essential to the attainment of a just verdict) being told by the wit ness and heard by the jury. " In his summing up, Lord Campbell left the question as one of credibility, and seemed to have forgotten that when the learned . counsel for the defendant endeavoured to elicit evidence touching the devices by which the plaintiff sought a livelihood, he had dictatorially intervened in protection , of Mr. Neal from the possible consequences of such inves tigation. Without impugning the conscientiousness of the jurors—for they only formed their conclusion upon the evi dence which was permitted to reach them—we think it extremely possible that, had they been better informed as to the position and pursuits of Mr. Stephen Neal, they would have returned a verdict more in accordance with the merits of the case, and much more conducive to the interests of tee community." Mr. Hawkins said he did not intend to justify that passage. (Laughter.) Lord Campbell said, he should not complain. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said, it was impossible for the defendant to justify that paragraph, for the fact was that Mr. Isaac's counsel (Mr. Chambers) never was stopped in his life, and, moreover no ex ception was taken to his lordship's ruling, and no application was made for a new trial. - Lord Campbell then addressed Mr. Hawkins and asked him whether he meant to justify the whole of the article. It could not be said that it was a fair comment on the trial. Mr. Hawkins said he meant to rely on the plea of justification. Lord Campbell said the learned counsel would have a formidable task, as he would have to go through the whole of the plaintiff's life. The plaintiff, Stephen Neal, was then called and examined by Mr. Barnard. He said—l am the plaintiff in this action. I reside at Islington. I am a mining engineer, and secretary to three mining companies. lam also London agent for a Man chester house, Messrs. Kershaw and Co. I have been connected with mines and mining transactions since I was a boy. I was born at Matlock. I left at 18, and was in employ at Manchester for many years. I was at first warehouseman, and then superintendent of nuisances for 12 or 14 years. In 1848 I became chief constable of Salford, and re signed that office in 1852, and shortly afterwards left Salford for London. I was the plaintiff in the action of " Neal v. Isaac," tried in this court on the 13th of Dec. before Lord Campbell and a special jury, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff for £347 ss. Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—At 18 1 had got my living at mini ng . - I h ave b een connec t e d with, I should say, 10 mining concerns. I w.uld not swear I .have not been connected with 25 or 30. There was one called the Haslam Pipe and Shining Rock Company. That was my father's property. I was a proprietor, and worked at the mine. lam 48 years of age now. In the action against Mr. Isaac I claimed £2,035, and my verdict was £347 ss. I claimed £l,OOO - for going over to Spain to get an affidavit made by Col. Waugh. I.swear Mr. Isaac promised to give me that sum. •Mr. Isaac, on his oath, denied that he had made that promise, and the jury, after hearing us both, gave a verdict for £347 ss. • I was insolvent in 1852. - My debts were rather over £5OO, My assets were, excepted articles, " over coats, boots, Bze.,". valued at. £9 4s. I had some mining shares of no value. My creditors have all been paid. I married the widow of a chemist and druggist, and carried on the business for 12 years. In June l lBs3, I had become connected with the Delarue Silver Lead Mining and Smelting Company that was to carry out some mines in Sweden. My name was advertised in the Mining Journal as Stephen Neal, Esq., 13, Charlotte - street, Bedford-square. That company is now in existence under another title, paying handsomely, I am told. It only existed five months and was sold. I did not endeavour to sell shares of the compani. The • directors never arrived at the stage of paying any thing on their shares. The committee paid the expenses. The shareholders did not threaten to sue, to my knowledge. Mr. Freebody was the secretary.. I never. ..to my knowledge asked Mr. Freebody to record his acts and my acts as the acts of the board. In 1856 there was a company pro moted, called the Gloucestershire Colliery Company. No annual return was made to the Registrar of Joint-stock Companies. I was shareholder and honorary secretary for probably six months. It was registered in 1855 as the London Coal Con sumers' Company. I attended most of the meet ings, and paid £250. The name was changed ; no returns were made under the Act. In March, 1856, I was in communication with Mr. Beaven, a solicitor of Bristol, in reference to this company. This letter is in my hand writing. (Read) The letter referred to other ,pro perty, intended to be put into another co..mpan3. That company was never formed. In 18 53 there was a company promoted called the Caii i i•e s g h li a o r N e a s Copper Mining Company. I never dealt in in that company. I may have asked a person named Crow to dispose of shares. Its name has been changed to the Denbigh Mining Company. There was another company called th e Cardiganshire Silver Lead and Copper Mining Company. I was printed in the prospectus as the secretary of th a t company. It was never registered under the new name. It was not carried out. My duties as secre tary were not light. I was paid secretary. I was • not (70101 (7 0i 1 . 1 (1 . 10 , V 1 1 :ly 1 18:d; - • , .it the ~c gi, „l ;ll{ with Cul. W:tti4ll. foinit , (l mie of a dtputation 11,iia fro.n a railway coinpan:y .- . I ma, him at tlio. London and Eastern Bank. On Feb. 2, 1857-, I prepared a r eport on the Brank sea proper t y. M y place of business was at 16, Parliament-street. I did not pay for the room. I was there as a civil engineer. It was at Messrs. Toogood's. (The re port on the Branksea Alum Works was here put in and read) The witness said "his • report had been examined into by many scientific men and The Foreman of the jury rose and said they were quite satisfied with the plaintiff's straightforward answers.- Mr. Hawkins then rose and addressed the jury, for the defendant, and undertook to prove ajustifi cation of the whole of the libels. He denounced the plaintiff as a scheming adventurer, Who, from his ex perience, must have known that the speculations in which he engaged, and which, brought before the public, were such as no prudent man ought to em bark in. He had prepared schemes which he must have known to be false and fraudulent. The Sun lay Times, knowing that, would not have done their duty to the public if they had not come forward and exposed him. Lord Campbell observed that the defendant had a - perfect right to make any fair comments on the trial; but there was no duty resting on him to inquire into the whole history of the parties, or to bring a chat* against them like a public prosecu tor. At the same time the defendant was at liberty to prove all his statements. Mr. Hawkins said his learned friend (Sergeant Ballantine) had eulogised the conduct of the limes, Daily News, and Morning Herald for the comments which they had made on the matters brought for ward at the trial in relation to Colonel Waugh, and, if so, surely the Sunday Times had an equal right to comment on the conduct of the plaintiff, who had been mixed up in Colonel Waugh's trans actions. How was, it that Colonel Waugh defrauded the public ? Was it not by putting forward speculations in which he had been aided by the plaintiff? The learned counsel proceeded to describe the plaintiff, as he now appeared, accord ing to his own evidence, and to show that the evi dence to-day fully bore out the description given of , the plaintiff in the libel of which he complained. He became insolvent in October, 1852, and he no sooner got out of Lancaster Castle than he adver tised himself in the Mining journal as " Stephen Neal, Esq., of No. 23, Charlotte-street, Bedford square." He became insolvent, and had no assets but his " boot and overcoats," and other excepted articles, worth only a few pounds, and with that capital he came to the metropolis, and allowed him self to be advertised as "Stephen Neal, Esq.," living in a fashionable quarter of the town, the fact being that he had nothing in the world and was living in lodgings on a second floor. He then passed himself off to the public as a " civil engi neer," with an office in Parliament-street, and then as a " chemico-civil engineer," though it was mani fest that he was never anything more than the getter up of bubble companies. The nature of the plaintiff's principle might be seen from the letter which he admitted he had written,- in which he ridiculed and sneered at Mr. Beavan as a lover of truth. The letter was dated March 13, 1856, and coritained these words : Mr. Beavan is probably with us; but he is a very stern man, and quite immovable from the strict letter of truth ; he seems not to ,understand what expediency means. He says the only way for us is, to compel compliance with our engagements and legal and equitable demands in a bold and fearless manner. To Mr. Hall his advice and assistance will be of the utmost value. Oh, how beautiful is truth; it 'stapes a thousand snares and entanglements, and leaves no leeway to be fetched up." The learned counsel then read an extract from the letter which the plaintiff had written, addressed to Colonel Waugh, in which he took credit to himself for having, by his report on Branksea Isle, enabled Col. Waugh to get several thousand pounds from Mr. Jolly, and contended that that fact was proved by his own.written evidence in opposition to the evidence which he had given today on his oath. The learned counsel then proceeded at great length to comment upon the various charges contained in tho libels, and said he should show by evidence that every one of the charges which they contained was true ; and he concluded by calling on the jury to find their verdict for the defendant. The learned counsel then called the following witnesses:— Mr. Braham, examined by Mr. Denman said—l was attorney for the defendant in the case of "Neal v. Isaac." I was present at the trial. Mr. Chambers was stopped in his cross-examination of the plain tiff. The plaintiff admitted that he received £25 from Col. Waugh's agent before going to Spain. In the plaintiff's schedule there is a claim for £25 as wages. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—The schedule was not read at the trial. I gave up the papers shortly after to Mr. Isaac. Mr. Acland, a mining agent, was at the trial. I know nothing of the writer of this article. Mr. Freeman, examined by Mr. Denman, said— I am engineer to the Board of Works for St. Leo nard's, Shoreditch. At a meeting of the Delarue Company on the 30th July, the plaintiff wanted me to enter the acts of himself and Mr. Montgomery as, those of the board, and I said " No." The letter of the plaintiff to Hardy of the 13th March, 1856, was here Put in evidence. Mr. Walter, examined by Mr. Denman, said—l am a licensed victualler in Shoe-lane. In 1855 Mr. Hurst introduced the plaintiff to me. They wanted money—£l2, on a bill drawn.by Neal on Hurst. I gave them the amount. The bill was paid. Mr. Hurst had £3B, which he has not paid. Mr. Neal, the plaintiff, was here recalled, and asked whether a letter of the 6th April, 1858, and addressed by him to Col. Waugh, was in his hand writing P He said. it was, and that it was produced at the last trial by Isaac. Mr. Mingay, examined by Mr. Denman, said—l remember having a conversation with the plaintiff in November, 1858, respecting Brauksea Island. T asked him for information respecting Branksea Island, and he said, "As to th e p urchase of t he estate, it is not worth more than £10,000." He went on to say that the island was not a fit place to live upon, at least for six months in the year, in conse quence of the damp. He also told me the castle was dismantled, and the mines were not worth anything to work upon, and that the clay was not fit for any thing but to make pipes for sanitary purposes. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—He did not show me a report that £BO,OOO had been offered for the estate. I gave information of this a month ago, to Mr. Stevenson, who was in Mr. Neal's office. I don't know how it cam e t o th e . knowledge of the Sunday Times. Mr. Grant said—l was secretary to the Glouces tershire Coal Mining Company. I wrote the letter referred to in the third libel. The bill of sale on the plaintiff's goods was here produced by the plaintiff. Mr. H. Stevenson said—l was one of the regis tered shareholders of some Welsh mines. I was promised to be secretary. I do not know that I had a conversation with the plaintiff on the subject. Mr. Mannino . said—l took shares in the Carreg tovaMining Company. b I did not know the plaintiff till two or three years after. I never made anything of my shares. It came to an end in 1856. Mr. Hawkins then summed up his evidence, and INIr. Sergeant Ballantine replied upon the wholo case, and in so doing said he never in his whole lif e saw such a miserable failure of evidence as had been exhibited on this occasion. He called upon the jury to mark their sense of the defendant's conduct by giving the plaintiff substantial damages.

But, though c. :fair comment on a trial was permitted, it was not allowed to maka charges on the parties which were not brought forward at the trial, and about which the writer could know nothing, unless he was either a party to the suit or the facts were supplied to him by other parties. In the present case the mo.q serious charges Were made on the character of the plaintiff, and if they were proved to be true the SECOND COURT. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Erle, and a Common Jury.) HANCOCK V. SO.A.AIES. Mr. Digby Seymour and Mr. Lloyd were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Raymond for the defendant. It appeared that defendant was a gentleman of fortune residing at Lewisham, and the plaintiff was his footman. On the 7th of September, after dinner, at which the plaintiff had waited, he went up stairs to light the lights in the drawing-room. While doing so the defendant entered the room and ask e d the paintiff where he got his drink from. Plaintiff, said he did not know what he meant, upon which the defendant pushed him down. The plaintiff got up and seized the defendant by the arms, and held him for some time. The defendant got loose, and then threw the plaintiff over a chair, and hurt him YerY much. The plaintiff then ran down stairs ; defendant followed him, but did not again strike him. The next morning he showed his arms to the defendant, who said he was sorry for it. The plain tiff then told him he should get a summons against him, and left th e h ouse. Th e d e f en d ant told him he might do what he pleased. The plaintiff swore he was not drunk. The plaintiff then obtained a sum mons, and the parties went before Mr. Traill, and after hearing the case the magistrate told the plain tiff he had better go to a superior court. In cross-examination the plaintiff said—Mr. Traill did not say that I deserved what I got on account of my conduct —not exactly those words. He said my violence to my mistress was worse than my getting drunk. I was out with the carriage that day on the box. My mistress said, " James, are you asleep ?" I said I was not. She said, " Then sit up properly." I said, "I am o'Jlige,d to shake a b ou t as the carriage shakes," and I said, when she was get ting out of the carriage, " I beg your pardon Ma'am, but if you want another servant you had better get one made for you." I don't consider that imper tinence. I was perfectly sober at the time. I waited at dinner. I did not stumble at dinner, but I had a bad toe; it just touched a chair, and I flinched a bit. I had only had two glasses of mild ale during the day. I felt very ill, and spoke to an attorney, ind he told me to go to a doctor, This was the day after going before the magistrate. Re-examined—l handed some onion sauce to my master, and he said " D—n that stuff." I had a character of two and a half years. Mr. Warren, an attorney, said he attended before the magistrate with the plaintiff. Evidence was given. The Judge said where magistrates had heard the complaint the Court did not interfere. The certi ficate concluded that the magistrate had heard and determined. It was at the peril of the magistrate not to do his duty. This Court had no right to interfere with it. Witness continued—The magistrate examined the witness as far as he thought fit, and would not allow the witness to interfere. The certificate was not mentioned until after the parties had left the court, but it was granted immediately after the parties had left. The magistrate's certificate being put in, The learned Judge said he should not admit further evidence for the plaintiff, but held the cer tificate to be a bar to the action, and directed a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. ;Sittings at Nisi Prius in London.—Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) lITTGUES V. MACNAMARA AN D ANOTh E R ?BIT S RIVALRY. The declaration in this case charges that the plaintiff, being an omnibus proprietor, carrying on his business upon the road from Islington to Brompton, the defendants entered into a conspiracy to annoy him in his business, and to ruin him ; and that they put omnibuses just before and behind so as to deter people from entering them, and to prevent the plaintiff from having a fair use of the highway ; that they drove and placed their omni buses before, upon, and against the plaintiff's omnibuses and servants in such a manner as to harass, damage, and injure his servants and omni buses, and to prevent the doors being opened ; that the plaintiff was so obstructed in his business that he was obliged to abandon it. There was a second count similar to this, except that no conspiracy was charged. The defendants pleaded not guilty. Mr. Knowles, Mr. Edwards, and Mr. J. Brown appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Bal lantine, Mr. Hannen, and Mr. Poland for the defendants. Mr. Knowles, in opening the case, said that the - plaintiff sought to recover damages for au injury of a somewhat peculiar description ; he charged the defendants with combining betw cen themselves and with other people to injure him in the exercise of his lawful trade by resorting to means which he trusted the law would say were unlawful. It was an important ease, for though it seemed immediately to affect the plaintiff only, yet when the case was proved the jury would see that the conduct of the defendants went to the root of everything like fair competition in the line of life in wll4i the plain tiff was engaged; and if the defendants and those who acted with them were to be encouraged and s upported in the line of conduct that they h ey Imedfapiurlry sned, lie knew not, how any man could said to be sure of his existence as 6 tradesman. The plaintiff• had his stable in White Lion-street, g ton, and his omnibuses started from the White some distance beyond the Peacock, fromwhence Lion pany's plaintiff's omnibuses started. As o t the e thecompany omnibuses so s o o soona c s bo o d n y e who was on th e wa t c h a t the corner appeared, of White Lion street, gave a signal to the company's timekeeper, who communicated with the omnibuses of the com pany, that stood on the other side of High-street, Islington. The course that followed was that one of the company's emnibUses got to the . White Lion before the plaintiff's • omnibus, • which was, conse quently, obliged to take th e second turn. A third omnibus- belonging to the company then came up, so that the plaintiff had an enemy behind and before. The police regulation was that a single omnibus was allowed stay five minutes, but three were not allowed to stay at all. The police would order the first two on, so that the plaintiff was deprived of the privilege of stay ing any time at all. The company's omnibuses then "nursed" his along the road. The p laintiff, in the early part of the affair, wade a profit which rose in June to £4 a week on each omnibus.. On the . l4th June twelve of the company's omnibuses • were directed to run all the way to Brompton, instead of to Sloane-street. The plaintiff's receipts declined, and in September they were £27 a week less than they had been in the middle of June, and the plaintiff was obliged to give up the business. Under these circumstances he asked for compensa tion in damages. The learned counsel said lie understood that the defendants had a crowd of witnesses, and he understood that they were to • nOA -c that the plaintiff's four omnibuses a c t ua ll y "tweed" the company's twenty-four. (A laugh.) He trusted that neither his lordship nor the jury w ould grudge their t ime and attention now that means a o n f d g n r i a l P g p i lin s g tr ll ik ' ith N e a bNlionwt, the system nuisance,prostriatte. trusted the plaintiff had the that the verdict of the jury which had l ) 7 e o a u ltrirelaayt put• an end to what he contended was a great monopoly, and contrary to law.
