RAILWAY AM AbGANIATIONS. From the Daily ews.) I Notwithstawling the stroug expressions of public i °Onion against su ch combinations, proposals for great 1 rit%lway anus'gemations go on, as if there were no interests in the matter worth cooideration but those of the particular companies concerned. On the 2nd of November three important northern companies— the York and North Midland, the York, Newcastle, and Bztrwick, and the Leeds and Northern—meet to ,-)asider the terms on which their directories pro v.-, to unite ; and next day the London and North We tern and the Midland proprietaries assemble to resolve (if they follow the advice given them by their Boards) on effecting=what the motion to he proposed modestly calls—" a permanent union of interests." in the one case, the amalgamation of capital and loan stock will involve some twenty-four millions, and 6G-1 miles of locomotion; and in the other, no less a sum th a fifty millions sterling, and more than 1,030 miles. It is not a light matter, therefore, that is in blmj, but one affecting the public interest and conve nience and economy quite as much, though not quite as immediately, as it does those of shareholders ; and trsough on former occasions the public and its concerns been a good deal overlooked in legislation on lese subjects, it will be the public's own fault if they ra similarly treated now that a new opportunity The ganeral welfare in this question of railways not, h :wever, concerned in low rates of p rofits the and poor dividends. On the contrary , setting aside public in its capacity of railway p r o prietaries,and regarding it only in the ligh t of railway travell ers isnd customers, the public will, the c hances are, be much better provided for when railway profits shall increase, and dividends b e more substantial, than they now are. The public has, consequantly, far more real and permanent interest in the prosperity than in the adversity of railway companies; and to legiti mate and reasonable plans for restoring prosperity it ought to give every encouragement. So doubt these proposed am b u t aim at the restoration o such prosperity ; but the objections to them are two: first, that the amalgamations are an alternative resorted to because of the unreasonable and absurd competition into which it has pleased railway boards and officials to fall—and which it must be far better to correct; and second, that their tendency is to deprive the public of 'such competition as the legislature intended should ezeist for the public benefit. Take the case of this Northern Amalgamation. Tue Leeds and Northern Railway is clearly and ob viously a line which Parliament intended should — en I which in point of fact did—compete with the Tork, Newcastle, and Berwick. Had the official people of these two lines conducted their rivalry on sound principles the country through which they ran wculd have been permanently benefited, and the two ce;apanies would, in all probability, have been fairly remunerative. But, instead of reasonable competi tien—competition in moderation of fares, sufficiency of rolling stock, punctuality of trains, cleanliness of carriages, civility of attendants, and safety of locomo tion—instead of indulging the public in this proper deaeription of rivalry, they choose to lower their rates to points which would hardly defray grease to the wheels of their engines and carriages. And, be cause neither party would first give way and come to terms as to fares and rates, they both determine that this sort of ruinous rivalry is unavoidable except by amalgamation, and proceed to "effect a permanent union of interests." Now, this sort of rivalry is a mere abuse of power by the officials who work railways ; an unreasonable, absurd, discreditable indulgence in their passions and prejudices ; carried on, first at the shareholders' ex pense, and now to be remedied at the public cost. A teat of good management of any railway in these matters i 3 the amity of its relations with competing lines. Where all is wrangling and disputes, conten tion and litigation, scheming and planning, allaying And leasing, there may be a great deal (perhaps far too much) of cleverness in the managers concerned ; but there is very little good administration. And the great practical truth our railway administrators have not yet realised is the worth and value of sim plicity in their external relations, and of good faith and honour in their own bargains. It may be that the present generation of railway officials are too far gone in the present system of management to be cured, but if so, than the time has come for pro prietaries to consider whether the very best thing to be done is not to make a clean sweep of the principal offenders. It is obvious, on the very surface of things, that railway amalgamations, as at present proposed, are mere devices by railway managers to enable them creditably to retreat from positions dangerous to their constituencies into which they have rushed ; to cover their past bad policy, and to save themselves the trouble of reforming and amending it on sound prin ciples. And at whose cost is this to he done ? Why, at that of the public, to be sure. The Leeds and Nor thern, and the York, Newcastle, and Berwick male gamated, there is, of course, an end of all competition —either in fares, rates, speed, punctuality, cleanliness, civility, or safety—in that district. And when these two united lines north of York are joined to the York acrd North Midland, then there will be a great and powerful northern confederacy, prepared to operate adversely to the public interests on the lines competing fur the southern traffic. As at Normanton, this northern amalgamation — representing 24 millions sterling will meet the eoethern amalgamation of the North Western and Midland,—representing 50 millions—why should these in their turn not unite, and so overpower and destroy all competition for the traffic between London and York, as they will previously have done between Leeds and Newcastle-on-Tyne ? If the proposed amalgamation be sanctioned by the legislature, there is no possible reason why Parliament should not next session go further and consign the whole traffic from London to Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, the York shire and Lancashire towns, York, Newcastle, and Edinburgh, to one huge, cumbrous, lumbersome cor poration :—all to avoid irrational rivalry and to save railway managers the trouble of finding out a system of civilised competiti on . N ay more ; w h en once Parliament has sanctioned this principle of railway ame!gamation the difficulty will be to show cause why it e!rould not be fully carried out, and all the railways of ti e kingdom placed under one control. And if so, the whole tendency of these schemes is obviously to plare the entire railway property of the empire in the bawls of the executive government; when either the shareholders would have to he content with smaller dividends than they even now get, or the public would Dave to consent to make up better dividends out of the general taxation of the country. In the proposed Amalgamation Bills there is a great pee lic principle involved, and it must be discussed and be settled by the legisla ture on public grounds. It is impossible therefore that these measures can be permitted to go through Parliament mer el y as p rivate bills. The general question of their policy should be considered by a select committee composed of the most eminent men of all parties unconnected with rail.eraya, and committees of shareholders must bo pre pared to act vigorously on their own behalf for the salvation of their property and the reformation of their officials. Wirheut some such examination of the great ques tion ievo.ved, neither shareholders nor the public can Ba'k . Shareholders : because in assenting to the atneigeeriation they are advised and urged on by those very officials whose former recommendations have only led their constituents and their companies into deeper and deeper disasters. The public : because in the very face of these schemes of unions, it is intended to remedy those disasters at the expense of the general community. In the long run, the interests ef companies and the public must be identical ; and the leading vice of the propositions now made is, that they involve diversity and variety of interests. This— shereholders may rely upon—is not the way to right railway property, and the sooner they teach their Directors that they must find out some other plan of remedying their own past mismanagement, the sooner sill higher dividends be realised. Railway shareholders must take the matter in their hands, and see that their officials do not ruin tb - ir property. We want railway competition —we meet have no close of bit . re monopoly the iron highways — the competition we want is one of safety, punc te.:lity, comfort, cleanliness of carriages and moderate fares. It is no wholesome competition that brings Iger and often death to the railway passenger and reu to the nilwav shareholder. DI4ASTERS IN THE IR CHANNEL. — In the storm of Tuesday night, the fo llowing lsu disasters took place on this coast:—The brig Fidelity, Dublin, on her passage from Troon, for this port, coal no ad i r, was driven ashore at aogher Head, ten miles hands were :tat' of Drogheda, on the L,)uth coast.

IN RE WOOD-THE LAW OP FIXTURES. ,His Honour deliverpd the following ira?,)ortart judgment on the law of fixtures. He said: Since the matter wqs „.. .. last before hira he had carefully consulted all the cases I cited in the course of tiie arguments, not only so far as they might turn out to be necessary to the decision of the question, bat aiso as a matter of curiosity to trace, if possible, the source of so much difference of opinion, and so much diversity of judgment. lie thought the source of diversity wa3 to be found in the efforts of the law to adapt itself to the progress and exigencies of society. In early times the maxim of cujus est solum ejus est usque ad ccelum, borrowed from the Roman law, prevailed with out dispute : land alone was regarded—land alone was called real, and mere personals were considered, as they really then were, of little moment, I s they were of little comparative amount. It was for this reason that, as Lord Kenyon says in Penton and Roberts, quoted by the then Chief Justice Erskine in ex parte Lloyd, The old cases on this subject leant to consider as realty whatever was annexed to the freehold by the occupier ; but in modern times the leaning has always been the other way, in favour of the tenants, in support of the interests of trade, which has become the pillar of the State.” If this was true in the time of Lord Kenyon, it must have acquired additional force in the course of the last half century, when the advance of commc rce and the use of experience and complicated machinery in every branch of manu facture have rendered this protection so essential to the interests of trade, that if the Courts had been unable to find a remedy, the Legislature must have been called on for its interference. Upon examination of the case be fore him, he found it more simple than he had at first aulicipated. Divers articles were found in the bankrupt's possession at the time of the bankruptcy. He was a brewer, and these articles were called brewers' plant and brewers' fixtures, And here he might observe, that much of the contusion of the cases had arisen from the popular use of the word fixture, without discriminating between the degrees of annexation, varying from the solidity of a stone foundation to the tacking of a carpet or the hanging of a picture. The true question was, wore the/ goods and chattels ?—for to goods and chattels only ddaf the statute of James and the subsequent sta tute derived from it apply, in its enactment as to order and disposition. Nor is this statute singular in this li mitation: only goods and chattels could be distrained. And under both forms such articles as the greater part of those now in qua .tion had been taken—with this ex ' ception, that under ~distress, while the law required that the goods should be removed from the premises, ' only such could be taken as t nild be returned on replevy in the same state. In questions between heir and executor, such articles also had been held to pass to the executor, as personalty, and not to the heir as realty. For each of those purposes, therefore, the articles were held to be goods and chattels. Why, then, were they not to be so held as between the mortgagee and assignee of a bankrupt's estate, he (the Commissioner) confessed that he was unable to discover either in reason or equity ? I see every reason (continued the learned Commissioner) to prefer the doctrine, that what is in the bankrupt's open possession by the apparent owner ship of which he obtains credit of the trading world, shall pass to the benefit of all his creditors, rather than to one only, who, by means of a private or secret con veyance, has obtained a preference ever them. As to what is strictly realty, this is unavoidable ; since the right to the realty beyond this necessity, and in all doubtful cases, I believe the Courts will lean, as Lord Kenyon says they have leant, in favour of creditors, and for the interests of trade. It is singular, however, that, in the diversity of opinion which has prevailed on this subject, the decisions of the Court of Bankruptcy should be less favourable to creditors than those of the courts of ',common law. With the exception of Sir George Rose, whose judgment in ex-parte Austin I shall have occasion to quote, the Judges of the Court of Review seem to have been inclined to favour the mortgagee ; while the courts at Westminster, from the case of Horne v. Baker to that of Halliwell v. Eastwood, have laid down principles which must necessarily lead to a con trary conclusion. Amongst those cases, that of Trapper v, Harter (3 Tyrr. 603) is one of the most important. It was decided by Lord Lyndhurst, after ho had been Lord Chancellor, and therefore when the law of bank ruptcy was more familiar to him than it might be to the other Judges less frequently called upon to determine questions of this nature. This case determined that all utensils and machinery erected for the purposes of trade, and which could be removed without material injury to the inheritance, form an exception to the general rule as to fixtures, and are not to be taken as part of the inhe ritance, but as personal estate. This judgment is said to have been doubted by Baron Parke ; but whatever re spect might have been due to a doubt from such a quarter, the doubt itself is removed by the fact that the learned Baron has concurred in the judgment of Halliwell v. Eastwood. Another judgment has also been set up in this case. It is that in ex-parte Austin, in which Sir George Rose said, " I have no hesitation in saying that when fixtures are capable of removal, as between land lord and tenant, without injury to the freehold, they are within the order and disposition of the bankrupt." The soundness of this doctrine having been questioned Sir G. Rose, in exparte Wilson, expressed his adherence to that opinion, which now appears to be fully confirmed by the Court of Exchequer. I must, therefore, come to the conclusion—l. That such articles as merely rest on the soil by their own weight, however heavy, are goods and chattels. 2. That if they are slightly connected one with another, and ultimately with the freehold, yet may be severed without material injury to the freehold, they follow the same rule. 3. That articles, though them selves fixed to the freehold by bolts and screws, or nails, or pegs, or other similar contrivances, are also goods and chattels. 4. That articles mainly sunk in the soil, or built on it, are of the realty, and do not pass to the as signees. I may take this opportunity to state that Ido not consider the judgment of my brother Commissioner Holroyd, in the Vauxhall case, at all affected by my pre sent judgment. In that case there was this material dis tinction, that the fixtures had been originally annexed to the freehold by the freeholder, and had, therefore, by unity of title, become one freehold property, and in that form they were demised to Islcghes, the party who became bankrupt. Then as to the question whether new things, newly affixed, also passed. That, I think, must have very much depended upon the peculiar nature of the property, where, in order to fit up the place for a public exhibition, continual changes were necessary; and therefore, as some of the old were removed, it was equitable that the new should be fixed with the same rights as those that were removed. In a case before Mr. Commissioner Goul burn the same principle as that I have laid down has been adopted. And I think it may now be considered as the doctrine of this Court. in broad terms, that such things as can be removed without material injury to the freehold are goods and chattels, and pass to the as signees. Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, who was also on the bench, said he fully concurred in the judgment that had beers delivered by his learned brother Commissioner. Having himself been in consultation with Mr Commis sioner Evans on a similar case, he knew that that learned Commissioner took the same view of the question. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—Oct. 29 OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice CresswEll.) MANSLAUGHTER. James Phillips, 26, was indicted for the wilful murder of Anne Matthews, otherwise Brown. The facts of this case have been given very recently in the police reports, and it will therefore be unnecessary fo give the evidence in detail on the present occasion. The deceustd, who was a woman nearly sixty years old, kept a brothel, and the prisoner. who was her nephew, had cohabited with her for nearly two years. Oa the night of the 9th October he came home drunk, and found the deceased lying before the fire in her bed-room appa rently in the same condition as himself, and he abused her for being in such a state, and it appeared that she retorted by telling him that she did not want him there, and he might go to the place he had come from. Die, it appeared, excited the anger of the prisoner, and he ran up to the deceased while she was in a sitting posture, and, according to the testimony of one of the witnessel4, struck her two blows, one on each side of her temple, the effect of which was to cause her to fall to the ground in sensible. A doctor was called in, but the deceased was found to b© quite dead, and upon a post mortem exami nation the death turned out to have resulted from con cussion of the brain, the effect of the blows she had re ceived upon the temples. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter, and he was sentenced to be transported for fi teen years. This case concluded the business of the session. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDIIA.LL.—Robert Henderson Roberts n, of 3, Lothbury, and 26, Birkeley-square, bill broker, was brought up charged with feloniously taking possession of a promissory note for 3501., the property of John Miklos, of Rochdale, Lancashire, woolstapler. Mr. Randall, a solicitor, stated that the accused was indebted to Mr. Milnes in a it= of 2411. 19s. on a dis honoured cheque, dated in October, 1851. On the 15th give him a promissory of July, in the present year, Mr. Milnes applied for pay ment on the cheque, and the accused said he was unable l ilt due on the cheque, if notethen ftoorp3asyolnincalsiben, but he w am ot: Mr. Milnes would give him the difference. Mr. Milnes declined to give cash, but offered to prisoner a bill for 1001., drawn by Manes on Mr. W. Buckley. This was agreed to, and the promissory note, which was drawn jointly and severally by four or five persons, and pay able to a Mr. A. B. 'Wall, then became the property of Mr. Milnes. The accused did not endorse the note, but offered to give a guarantee for its due payment. Mr. Milnes before giving up the cheque required to know the addresses of the drawers and endorsers of the note, and the prisoner said he did not know them, but his olerk did, and he would inform Mr. Milnes of them next day. On the 21st of July the accused sent to Mr. filnesrequesting him office, to come to hi m a t th e Guildhall Coffee - ho use, and on his going, an pointment was made for the following day,at the accused for the purpose of giving Mr. Milnes the addresses o f t h e d rawers an d endorsers of the n ote. Accordingly on the 22d, Mr. Milnes went to the accuseti's office, bringing the promissory note with him. The accused asked to be allowed to talco a copy of it, and began to do so, but stopped and asked if Mr. Milnes would " retire" his (prisoner's) acceptance for 220/., to which Mr. Milnes replied that he would not, on which the pro prisoner said he would take i• t took it up, and put it in his pocket.
