THIL WATEIILOO-BRIDGE COMPANY. Yesterday two applications for compensation In damages . against the Waterloo Bridge Company, for . houses to be taken down by them, in order to forth the New Street from Wow'loo Bridge to the Straw!, were tried at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, before the SUR-SETERIFF of Middlesex, and tt , Jury. The first was oti the part of Messrs. CROSS, and Son, butchers. The SOLICITOR-GEMERAL, on the part of the plaintiff, stated, that Mr. Cross,was a respectable butcher in the Strand, whose premises were to,be taken front hint for the purpose of making a new street to the Waterloo-bridge ; and the subject for the consideration of the Jury was, what sum of money would compensate him for the lost he TO liable to sustain. Mr. Cross had lived in his pre sent house for u great many years, and it was al- most impossible for him to get another like it ; for the business of a butcher, unless carried on with great care,, could not he set lip in a genteel and public place like that Itt which 'Mr. Cross's premises were situated, without the probability that the neighbours would commence prosecutions for a nuisance. That Mr. Cross had carried on his trade with great care, so as to be permitted bylaw to continue it, was a proposition which he would undertake to say his Learned Friend Sedeant Best) would not venture to deny. `The business of a butcher*had been carried on in Abet house for a period of 50 years. It hail been formerly conducted by an uncle of Mr. 'Cross's, and always had been found to have caused little offeuce, it' being so contiguous to the river, that he was enabled to carry oil' the offensive parts of the trade almost instantly. • The current of air in that Vicinage was peculiarly desirable for the.stock and trade of a butcher, fur the meat had been found to keep 24 hours longer there than it would in any situation theta there was not a free current of air. Under these circumstances, he conceived that the premises and situation were to he estimated by the value they, were of to the occupier, and lie was not compensated unless he was fully paid for bath,-- There were betireen 15 and 16 years to come of the lease ; the rent was but 221. per year ; and Mr. Cross had an advantage that did nut belong to many butchers, viz. that of being able, to slaughter to a certain extent. himself,whercby large profits accrued ,which would of herwise go to the car cass butcher. lie (the Solicitor-General) would ven tme to say, without fear of contradiction, that there was not one house from Chat ing-cross to Temple bar in which Mr. Cross would be permitted to set up the business of butcher ; and the proba bility was, that he would - not have been permitted to continue there, had it not been for Isis long possession, and the situation from its contiguity to the river affording a facility for the removal of nuisances that might arise. Under these circum stances, be would refer the jury to their own plain good sense to assess what compensation would bean equivalent for so may losies. He should prove to t he jury,the quantity ofcattle bought, slaughtered, and the meat sold. The cattle were not lugged in at the 'front dnor, to the great annoyance 43f the neigh bours and passengers, but were carefully driven ' round by .e privete, way. Mr. cross cm tied on his business behind, and strangers would not know from the front of the shop whether he purchased cattle in large quantities, or bought a leg of mut ton at a time.—(4 lough.)--The Learned Geode map concluded by observing, that all he required at the hands of a Jury was a full, fair, and honest 'compensation, • , The lease MI% then produced; it.was granted to a Mr. John Cheese for 50 years, from the 18th of December 1781. Mr. Samuel Page, a surveyor, was then called, and said be hail practised inthatppacity for many years. Witness had been employed to value honses both on sale and lease in the Strand. *Mr. Cross's premises measured 120. feet deep, and 16 wide, Crown and ecclesiastical, leases sold for Minch more than other leases. IVitness believed them to be worth a rent of 4501. per year, dc ducting ground -rent of 221., land-tlx il. 134. 10d., repairs 121. 6s. 3,1,, insurance. 101. They were in a substantial state, except a little damage in the slating, Witness thoisght the preiniics bad bein built about forty years—there was a slaugb 7 ter-house on the premises for beasts and sheep— there was a back way, end a declivity towards the river, calculated to carry off the offensive part of his business—they were vcry well situate for ven tilation—the current of air was particularly powerful. Witness could not speak t o the value of such 4 situation for t;te carrying on of such a business. Witness considered that the amount of damages sustained would be 50 . 80/,' • Mr. Wm, Pitcher concurred in opinion with last witness. Mr. rotinier also , gave an cogniation very near the lait witness. Mr. Bramittott, clerk to Mr. Stannard, of-Smith field-market, was called to peove the motley pall by Mr. Cross for cattle for the last two years and three quarters it was from Mr. Cross's own account. Mr. Setieant BEET objected to this being re ceived as eVidence; and demanded Mr. Cross's books, instead of such a garbled eiCCOIHIC of pro fiti without losses. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL Would not sofTer any tradesmen's books to be so ransacked, At length it was agreed that Mr. Cross's, jll- ! niov's, evidence should be received from his batik er's book ; when it 'appeared that he averaged 10,5001. per annum to have.been expel ried by his lather in meat of all descriptions, upon which be calculated a Profit of 20 per cent., or Itl, per lb. The Counsel on both sides then had a consulta tion, and ,after a short conversation, the Solici tor-General said that the parties _ o n b ot h s id es had come to an agreement as to a sum, which sum the Sheriff was requested to put on paper, and band to the Jury,svhich he did, and the Jury returned the assessment, which was 5,000 guineas ocinvensation. EGO V. THE WATERLOO-H(111)On COMPANY. ' The next application was on the part ut EGG, gunsmith. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL itateti (0 the July that the preinihes, for the lots of which they there now ratted on to give compensation, were very valuable. They consisted of _nee dwellinp. house, an eXtemive tifti»Minaattory tttaelted to it, cutisistinv of several floors, and tt large yard for frying , the guos ,and pistols by shooting at marks. trying ; MO; held these premises on lease, , of which nearly I°Oyears were still unexpired. at A rent of 301. a-year,. lie had given in 3g03, 3,3321. for the le,sse, 3001. tor some fixtures, and It}trl.iaid out 2,2731. itt dditions and repairs'.— Pain of the house lie hail let to Mr. Arnolclswatch trinker.,-itt 1601. a•year. It would ,aprear in evi nEnce.:that the-lituation was• one of the most tavantageous which could be pointed out for a person of Mr.' Egg's business, and - that it would he alisrost impossible fair him to :get.otit which wont(' suit him so well. 4 • Mr. Edward Clements had been a clerk to Mr. Egg wheti he came to live in the Strand. Mr. E. hail given 2001. (or the fixtures on the premises when he came, and had laid out in additions and repairs obant-12751. these repairs were going On lv two yra . rs find a half, during which M. E. had been at considerable loss in business, and been paying rent and taxes for these And some tract premises, which he was oblig ed to hold till his own were tioished, the whole of his loss by that was a!iotit 7001. Thu remorat front his present situation was likely to be attended With con%itienthle loss front the ex treme 'difficulty, if not turterssibilitv, of not being able to procure so good a • situutiAi . t. Being on the South-side was of, consideralde advantage to Mr. Egg, as the stocks of fine grins were apt to warp by being expos ed to the sun. The usual profit, clear of all expellee, of Mr. Egg's business, was 25 per cent. In his cross examination this witness said. he had had the best opportu nity of knowing Mr. Egg's profits, as he kept his books. He did nut live with Mr. Egg at present, and had not for seven years past. Here the witness was asked the anionnt of Mr. , Egg's receipts for the time. he lived with him, but he not twit* calculated' them, he Vas allowed to retire, and to make it up. Towards the. close of the trial, utter all the. other witnesses had been examined, he seas introduced, and 'prisced that for the tire years, he had lived with Mr. Egg, ending i n 1809, his r r e c ipts In been 32,8551. averaging 6,ti7 1. a year,vn which 1 here was a proAtint 25 per cent. Mr.- Stanton, gun-maker. had seen Mr. Egg's premises, ,and thought them the urost`conveniently situated for his lausi nest of . any in ',porton. There wits just that portion of light which suited the trot WhO were not at all inconvenienced by the beat of the sun. It would be most inconvenient to Mr. Egg, and a Considerable loss, to be removed, and if he should gi;t a situation where'his wet k-shops did not adjoin his dwelling-!roust', jt would cost bins 2001. a year to erophiya forgation to look over the men. tie thought the profits of . a gins- maker about 33 per cent. The expenee of 'renroving his stock, if he had a place lo go to, would be of out 6001. Mr. Wilkinson, gun-maker, gave nearly the same evidence ass to the good situation and convenience of Mr. Egg's pre mises, as the last witness. He added, that a gun-maker ought to make from ig to 45 per cent. by his business: it was only'a fair profit. . -- Mr. Donaldson, a cut vevor,'Raid, that three years' 'Wok of the trade was it fair price fur gond-will. Mr. Pitt, a Survey‘r, had examined Mr. Egg's premises, and read the different calculations of their value. By the first, including the value of the lease, the "reversion, the ex pences he (Mr. E. had been at in the repairs, the probable. expense of removal and the good will, be had estimated the whole et 98671.. The result of a secogd calculation was 10,61171. and that of a third 10,1171. On his cross-examination this witness said he believed the calculation he had just read. He had helm a Survevos since he was thirteen years of age.— He had once been in irade,.and had become a bankrupt, bad kept a coffee-hou•e fin - tt time.• • Mr. Were, a Surveyar, thought Mr. Egg's lease worth 34001. - Mr. Mitchell, a SurVeyor, estimated its value at 33511. ex clusive of the chance of reversion, which he valued at 27851. even with na increabed rent of i ul. rtie expence of removing the stock wag ohout Sol. nod if there was not a proper place the loss might he tinol. Mr. Scr-;ise proved that •Mr. Arnold had.paid Mr. Egg 1 . 601. a year for the upper part of his house. • • • Mr. Burt,a Surveyor. estitnated theNaitte of the premises at W7l. and the reversion at .112 , )(11. Ott toss on the fixtures at 3001. and the expeoce of removal ahi n it 401. or 591. Ai r. Herring, an auctioneer, valued the lease at 31701.95. 3d. and the chance of renewal at 17641. The fixtures .ut. about 5001. iti all aboitt two-thirds of which would' be a hiss by the removal; the cost of removal iniht be, illniut 401. or Gol. Here the cute closed on the iEtit of Mr, Egg. Mr..Serjeatit BEST addressed the Jury on behalf of the Waterloo 'Bridge CoMpatty, and enntentled at .great length that it was impossible any credit could be Attached fo the • extravagant statements made by Mr.' Pitt as to the value of the' premises. It Was a fact that Mr: Egg could not be the loser by a removal, which it was attempted to make the Jury believe, for he was a man well known in his business ; and to whatsoever part 'of the city he went, he would•Sbe followed by those who were in tbe,.habit of dealing with him. The Jury should put out of their consideration any compensation for the chance of renewal, as• the IVatcrloo Bridge COmpany bad been obliged • already to purchase the interest of • the Duchy of Lancaster in the ground, and .had been obliged to p'ay to 'the last farthing its Inmost value.—;The Learned:Seije - ant called no witnesses.
