LAW INTELLIGENCE. —Jan. 12. EQUITY COURTS. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) LORD 131COUGHAM V. LORD PAULETT. His Honour delivered judgment in this case, which was argued some time ago. The plaintiffs are executors under the will of late Duke of Cleveland, and the case was brought on as g special case for the opinion of the court on the constrAction of a clause in the will of the testator, directing that his debts, legacies, legacy duty, the costs of proving his will, and the execution of the trusts thereof should be paid out of a specified fund. The estates are considerable, and the costs of carrying the trusts into execution are expected to be heavy. The real question in the mat was whether the costs of car rying the trusts of the will into execution so far as re garded the real estate should be paid out of the personal estate. His Honour held that the clause had a limited mean ing, and that the costs of executing the trusts of the various estates, and interests created by the will and codicil, must fall on the cestui qne trusts, and where some act was done which was mutually for the benefit of the persons interested in various parts of the estate, or in all parts of the estate, such as the appointment of new trustees, those costs would have to be borne by the cestui quo trusts - in proportion to their several interests, - (Before Vice-Chancellor Kinders/ey.) siIINN V. HOBBS.-ATTEMPTED =BERT, On this case being called on, The Vice-Chancellor said he had received two letters from two of the parties interested, who are ladies, offer ing him a handsome present in the event of his deciding in their favour. He was astonished at any one taking such a course ; indeed it was almost too ludicrous to be believed ; but he should hand the letters to the Regis trar, with liberty to the other parties in the cause to take copies of them, as was usual in such instances. IN RE THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH'S ESTATES. This was a petition of Lord Churchill, praying the sanction of the Court of Chancery to two purchases of some land for 3,5001. The usual reference had been directed as to the propriety of the purchase, and to the conveyancing counsel as to the title, which had been found to be satisfactory ; but the conveyancing coun sel had required the presence of the cestui que trusts before him. Mr. Osborne, for the petitioner, said that all parties were now before the court, and he asked his Honour to :make the order confirming the purchases, without sending the matter back to the conveyancing counsel. The Vice• Chancellor said he could not dispense with the rule requiring the approbation of the conveyancing counsel, without exception. Hence the matter must be sent back to the counsel, who had already advised upon it before the order could be made. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE QUEEN V. T. H. MARSHALL, ESQ. This was a rule obtained last term, calling upon Thomas Horncastle Marshall, judge of the county court of Wakefield, to show cause why a criminal in formation should not be filed against him, upon the ground that, on the 19th of August last, he maliciously refused audience to William Shaw, a barrister re tained on behalf of the plaintiff in the cause of Furs nies v. Hauxwell, then called on for trial in the said court. The application was made on the part of Mr. Shaw, who distinctly charged the judge with being ac tuated by malicious motives in the course which he had pursued. The affidavit of Mr. Shaw set forth that he was called to the bar in the year 1844, that he was a mem ber of the Northern Circuit and West Riding Sessions, and practised in the county court of Wakefield, of which Mr. Marshall was the judge. On the 19th of August last, having been retained for the plaintiff in the case of Furniss ' v. Hauxwell, Mr. Shaw, at the time appointed for the sitting of the court, viz., ten o'clock, entered the court, and took his seat in the place as signed to counsel. At half-past ten the judge entered, and Mr. Shaw as a mark of respect, rose up. The business of the court then commenced, but the judge,- interrupting the business, demanded of James Alfred Shaw, the reporter of the Wake f ield Express, why he continued to come into the reporters' box, from which he (the judge) had Lad him removed twice before ? The reporter, who was in no way related to, or connected with Mr. Shaw the barrister, then rose from his seat, and the judge went on to ask him if he was the au thor of a report which bad appeared in his (the re porter's) newspaper ? The reporter replied that he was responsible for the report, and that it was a true report. The judge retorted that the report was false ; that he could give the reporter credit for any amount of igno rance ; but that there gni more than ignorance in the report—there was mafice. The judge then ordered the reporter to leave the box, but the latter refused, alleging that, as the court was public, he bad a right to be there. The judge eventually directed an officer forcibly to expel the reporter from his seat, and to remove him to another part of the court. This was accordingly done, and he was placed on a seat where there was no accommodation for reporting ; but he soon after left the court. Mr. Shaw was the only barrister present during these proceedings, but he took no part in them wh a t ever , e ith er by wor d or gesture. The business of the court then proceeded for a few minutes, when the judge, again interrupting the busi ness, said to the applicant, Are you, Mr. Shaw, the author: of that report Mr. Shaw respectfully rose, and inquired to what report his honour referred ? To which the judge, in a sneering and contemptuous manner re plied, " You know very well to what report I mean." The judge, after soma inquiries of the usher of the court, referred to the case of Hodgson v. Meeson, in the Wakefield Express, and then said, " Now, Mr. Shaw, did you write that report ?" Mr. Shaw, in a re spectful manner, replied as follows •—" Your honour, I am astonished at such a question being put to me from the bench ' • if asked elsewh ere , I wou ld h ave answered, and even h ere, although I cannot recognise yourhonour's right to put it, I will reply to it, if you will be good enough to show me the report to which you refer." The judge immediately replied, "Then you decline to answer my question ?" To which Mr. Shaw answered that he had not so declined. The conversation then ended, and the business of the court was then resumed, and continued for about half-an-hour, till the cause of Furniss v. liana well wasicalled on. Mr. Shaw then rose and said, "I appear, your honour, in this case as counsel for the plaintiff," but ! he was interrupted by the judge, who said " Stop, sir ! The judge then took a book from his desk, and after referring to it for a short time, looked at Mr. Shaw, who had been standing during the interval, and the latter, thinking he was to go on, recommenced by say ing, " As I was about to explain, your honour, in this case." The judge again vehemently interrupted by say ing, "Did I not tell you to stop, sir ?" Mr. Shaw again stopped, and continued standing for two or three minutes, when the judge said, " I shall not hear you, sir." Mr. Shaw respectfully asked upon what ground, and the judge replied, "You have declined to answer my ques tion ; it is a contempt of court, and I shall not allow you to practise until you answer it; I must not punish the innocent and permit the guilty to escape.' Mr. Shaw again tendered himself as the plaintiff's counsel, but the judge refused to hear him, and adjourned the case in order that other counsel mightl be retained. Mr, Shaw then returned his brief and left the court, which he had not since attended, though he tad been offered several retainers. Mr. Shaw's affidavit stated that on the occasion in question, as well as on all previous occa sions, he had conducted himself most respectfully towards the judge, and had never been betrayed into imbecolning conduct or language. He further explained that he had been counsel for the defendant in the cause of Hodgson v. Meeson, tried before the said judge on the 3d of June last, and that at the request of Mr. John Robinson, the editor and proprietor of the Wakefield Express, be had furnished for that paper a report of the trial from the notes taken on his brief, and while the facts of the case were fresh in his recollection. Ile had at the same time directed that the report should be submitted to the re porter, and compared with his shorthand notes. He declared that the report so furnished was a faithful and true report. The present rule having been granted, Mr. H. Hill, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Hardy), now showed cause on the affidavit of Mr. Marshall and others that set forth, first, that the report of the case of Hodg son v. Meeson was unfair and incorrect in several par ticulars, and went intu a full account of what took place on the occasion of the trial. This, it was contended, would a ell account for any slight irritation Mr. Mar shall had exhibited when alluding to the rep ort of that case, especially as a leading in the p aper , reflectin article had been written the cas e , f ounded o on Mr. M ars h a ll' s con d uc t i n unfair report , n g what it was contended was an Lord Campbell —I ammorf.opsinhia•on that this rule must be discharged. Had without having first taken any ste p w i n e"le to this court sr any other tribunal, then, on the case he has made, very strong grounds for our interfere e nce! uld h j a u v a e ge b a e c e t n and if a act ing maliciously is guilty of a misdemeanour , judge acts, as it is said Mr. Marshall acted emrtta9th of August, in so addressing Mr. Shaw, aski n g tions and then silencing him, there would be ra s ' t lu ou ea ; grounds for saying that it was done maliciously. s t rong is shocked at such things happening before a regular tribunal ; but, in my opinion, according to the practice of this court and to expediency, Mr. Shaw, by apply ing to the Lord Chancellor, has precluded himself from coming to this court for a criminal information. This is an application to us to try and punish Mr. Mar shall. The granting of that writ is always in the dis cretion of the Court, and I think in the exercise of that discretion we ought not to grant a criminal information when an appeal has been made to the Lord Chancellor and failed. The ru le will, therefore, be disch arge d , but, under all the circumstances, certainly with ou t cos t s. M r . Justice C o ler idge , and Mr. Justice Wightma n concurre d with the Lord Chief Justice. Rule discharged vithoiit costs. COMMON PLEAS. COURT OF n Banco. Sittings i (Before Chief Justice Jervis, Mr. Justice Maule, Mr. Justice Cresswell, and - J -r• Justice Williams.) LEFROY V. cIuDLAND.—LIBEL. The pl a i nt i ff in this case was an a tt o rney, and the de fendant was a magistrate of the county of Somerset. It appeared•th at the defendant, had : a l Court, Lis wife under a decree of the Ecclesiastical apart from whilst living written a letter to her which imputed an improperiacted as con nexion between her and the plaintiff, who had • 1 her solicitor in the proceedings in the Ecclesiastica Court. The letter was sent to the plaintiff, and he thereupon commenced the 'present action to recover damages for libel, and at the trial before the Chief Jus tice in Middlesex, the jury gave a verdict for the plain tiff, damages 1,0001. A rule, however, was subsequently Obtained, calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why there shoal not be a verdict for the defendant, the principal point being that there had been no sufficient publication of the libel. The case was to-day c a ll e d on 1 for argu ment. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Barnard appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Serjeant Byles and Mr. Han. nen hit. the defendant. After some observations from counsel, it was arranged that the action should be settled upon the terms that it should be left to the Chief Justice to say for what amounb the verdict should be entered, and that, as there were one or two communications which it was not advisable to read in public, his lordship should hear one counsel on each side in private, after the court had risen. The case was disposed of accordingly. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco.) WWI'S V. COMBE.-ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE. Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Petersdorff appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Hawkins represented the de fendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a person in humble circumstances, to recover compensation in damages from the defendant, Mr. Combe, a member of the firm of Combe, Dellfield, and Co., the well-known brewers, for alleged negligence on the part of his ser vants, by which the plaintiff's child had sustained serious injury. It appeared that the child, a little boy two years of age, was, together with other children, play ing in the street at the time the defendant's dray, driven by his servant, was proceeding slowly down the street. The drayman, who was sitting on the side of the dray, did not see the little boy, who was knocked down by one of the horses, and the wheel passed over his body. The child, after the accident, was removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he re mained for ten weeks, during which time he suffered most severely. The medical testimony went to prove that the injury was of a most serious character, and from the symptoms exhibited the child might become deformed. The evidence adduced on behalf of the de fendant was in direct opposition to that of the plaintiff, and attempted to prove that there was no negligence on the part of the drayman, but that the injury sus tained by the child was purely the result of accident. The learned judge having summed up the evidence, left it to the jury to say whether or not they thought the driver of the dray had sufficient command over his horses when sitting on the shafts. If they were of opinion he had not, that amounted to negligence, and the plaintiff would be entitled to their verdict for such an amount as they considered the justice of the case required. The jury having retired, returned into court after a short absence, with a verdict for the plaintiff - - Damages 501. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Tan. 12. MANSION-HOUSE.---J. Patey, charged with hav ing stolen five pieces of iron from the premises of an ironmaster in Upper Thames-street, and J. Sallie, who carried on business on the other side of Southwark bridge, charged with having received the property knowing that it had been stolen, were put to the bar before Alderman Wire. The Alderman, who had from time to time adjourned the case in the expectation that the prosecutors would have made particular inquiries about the parties accused, and the mysterious circumstances connected with the charges which were some days ago detailed in the public papers, asked whether any further evidence had been elicited, and the following is an abstract of what took place upon the subject : The only evidence against Patey as the thief was, it nay be recollected, that of Sallis, the suspected re ceiver, who stated that Patey brought the iron to his premises about six o'clock in the morning, and was to call for the price of it in the course of the day on which the property was stolen and deposited on the premises, and who gave Patey into custody in the evening of the same day, for having attempted to sell it. Mr. Hobler, for the prosecution, said he had no fur ther evidence to produce, and that as the two prisoners could not, according to the statements made, be both of them committed with any chance of conviction, he was desirous that the man accused of receiving, being charged with an offence more dangerous to the community, should be sent for trial, if the magistrate entertained the same opinion. Mr. Wontner, who appeared for Sallis, submitted that his client had exonerated himself, by showing that Patey was the person who had brought the iron to the pre mises, and by giving him into custody when he called to receive the money. Patsy said his mother, who could prove that he was ill in bed at the time it was stated that he was de livering the iron, was present, to show that it was quite impossible that he could have been out of his room at the time. Mrs. Patey then presented herself, and swore that her son was in bed with his wife at the moment he was said to have brought the stolen goods to Sallis's yard, and that she never heard that her son had been involved in any criminal difficulty before. The witness detailed several circumstances in corroboration of her statement, and underwent cross-examination by Mr. Hobler, which led to the conclusion that she had come forward - merely for the purpose of getting her son out of the danger of committal, and was ready to say anything to effect that object. Upon the part of Sallis Mr. Woniner called witnesses CLue of whom, a respectable p erson , ma d e a statement, ' which, although not at all calculated to exonerate that prisoner from the imputation of being the receiver, added to the belief that Patey was the thief. The other witnesses called, however, gave such evidence as obliged the alderman to say that he did not believe one word uttered by any of them. After amoa strict investigation into the case, which was con.tidered to be one of peculiar importance to tradesmen, Alderman Wire said he had no doubt that wit nesses, whose evidence had been framed for the occa sion, had been brought forward by both prisoners. He had no doubt whatever upon the subject himself, and he lamented that facilities were given by men who were apparently conducting extensive establishments with some character, to the disposal of property stolen, and conveyed too at an hour when honest and iidustrious people were going to their work. It was palpable that the iron had bean brought into the pre mises of Sallis by a thief, and that Sallis had no objec tion to deal with the thief, and had appointed a time for the payment of the price, whatever it might have been, of the produce. It was evident, too, that the mother of Patsy had perjured herself, for she had sworn that she had never known her son had ever be fore been in any difficulty of a criminal nature, for it had been ascertained that Patey had been imprisoned before for dishonesty, and that there was no depen dence to be placed on any representation she had made. The matter involved a great deal of con tradiction and legal difficulty, and there appeared to be no chance of a eoaviction in the event of a prosecution of either of the prisoners, for the only wit ness against Patey was his fellow-prisoner. - Under such circumstances the only course left for the magistrate to pursue was to discharge both prisoners, with the con duct of whom it was necessary that the public should be made acquainted. The alderman, in conclusion, said he thought the prosecutors ought to have taken care in such a case to have acted more vigorously in the in vestigation, but he said that without imputing the slightest blame to their solicitor, who had, he had no doubt, acted completely up to their instructions. The prisoners were then discharged, and Patey's mother, who had been temporarily committed for per jury, was also discharged with a severe reprimand. Miles Receipts. opened.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. At the last meeting of this society, Mr. Hamilton, president, in the chair, Dr. A. Halley was elected a fellow, The following communications were read :- 1. On a modern submerged forest at Fort Lawrence, Nova Scotia, illustrative of the conditions under which some of the coal-bearing strata in the neighbouring coast at the Jogging were formed in ancient times, By Mr. J. W. Dawson, F.G.S. _ 2. On some additional new small reptilian remains, from the Purbeck strata of Durdleston Bay, and on the fossil remains of a large cuttle fish, from Kimmeridge clay, collected by Mr. W. B. Brodie. By Professor Owen, F.G.S. 3. On the tertiary formations of the North of Ger many, with special reference to those of Hesse Cassel and its neighbourhood. By Mr. W. Hamilton, Pres. G.S. The author commenced his remarks by correcting an error into which he had been led, in his former communication on the Mayence basin, respecting the age pf the tertiary sands of Magdeburg and Westergeln. He had there stated, apparently on the authority of Dr. Sandberger, that these last-mentioned belonged to a much newer period than the "marine sands" of Weinheim in the Mayence basin ; whereas, not only has Dr. Sandberger described them as of the same age, but there is a pro bability of their being still older. The principal sections near Hesse Cassel saw a marine formation of no very great thickness, sometimes consisting of the clay, and at oth ers o f ye ll ow san d over l y i ng ex t ens i ve b e d s o f brown coal. Thi s aga i n res ts on blue clay, beneath which are sometimes found th i n b eds of sandstone with Plant bunteraand beds of clay,la- pressions, interstratified with other ihe whole resting on musehelkalk and coal ; whereas, l it the The marine sands of Westergeln, near Magdebm: of Weinheim constitnetlie also found above the brown ayence basin, the marine sands clays and brown coal. are themselves overlaid by of author then proceeded to tertiary sense there, and cf lowest member of the whole consider the relative age formation, endea voured alluding to what he considers the e deP"ita ; a p n i d n i , 0 r a l ft o e f r Phillippi, who regarded the Ifesse Z ree e e l e b e e c l e o s a , b e i ng ailipitPyenthnaint,eaBalethtelohugh the Wes- t a h s e th p e ro S b u a b b of the d same t o s h R o g : tergeln sands may be somewhat older, to ono general period, equivalent, or nearlyey all belong middle Limbug beds of Belgium, and that they mark t the ti time when a com mun i ca ti on must have existed bee tween the North ern O cean o f G ermany and the basin, and between the latter and the great Southern or Alpine Ocean, in which the flysch and earlier molasse were deposited. Mr. Hamil ton also alluded to the extensive basaltic outbursts which occur so abun dantly throughout the whole country between Frankfort and Hesse Cassel ; and he offered an explanation of the phenomenon observed on several occasions where the stratified beds of brown coal, clay, &c., are seen towards and partly underneath the basaltic masses which form the cappings of the plateaux. When the stratified beds had been raised by subterranean pressure into undulating masses, on a large scale, previously to the basaltic out bursts, the ingenious matter found an easier escape through the assures of synclinal rather than of the an ticlinal portions, inasmuch as the fissures in the synch- nals widened downwards, while those in the other por tions were naturally wider in the u pp er beds. The author concluded by showing that the brown coal beds in this part of Germany belonged to at least three, if not four, distinct periods. * the receipts include the traffic on the Orleans and Central, Or- Leans and Bordeaux. and Tours and Nantes lines. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 12. STOCK EXCHANGE.—The market this morning has ruled flat, and quotations reduced about per cent.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN SHIRE. The directors of this company have just issued their half-yearly report, which contains a considerable amount of useful statistical information for the shareholders, and shows a great improvement in the company's affairs. The report states that a clause has been introduced into one of the bills coming before Parliament to enable the company to hold its meetings in the months of January and July in each year. The accounts for the half-year show a total revenue of 273,8941., and a total expendi ture of 149,2591., leaving a balance of 124,6351., or, with the balance from the last half-year, of 2,7371., avd of the stores account, 3,8121., a total sum of 131,185/, avail able for interest and dividend. The debenture interest and canal annuities amount to 69,064/. ; the dividend on the 61. preference shares to 23,6501. ; and the divi dend on the 101. preference shares (which is at the rate of 71 per cent, until July next, when the rate becomes 6 per cent.) will require 32,7001,, making a total preference charge of 56,3501. The directors, after a conference with the members of the late committee on preference arrears, have unanimously decided to recom mend the shareholders to declare and pay the dividend on the 61. shares as usual, and also to issue deferred ditidend warrants, payable on the passing of the Pre ferential Arrears Bill, for one half-year's dividend, at the rate of per cent. per annum, upon the 101. pre ference shares, and of 2s. 6d. per 100/, stock, or at the rate of t per sent. per annum, upon the No. 1 quarters and original stock of the company. After providing for these dividends a balance of 660/. will remain for the next account. The capital account shows an increase of 78,989/. for new works which the proprietors have sanctioned, from which the proceeds for the sale of engines have been deducted. The increase in the number of engines repaired and renewed is 16 ; in the waggons, 378 ; in the steam-boats, 5 ; and in the total expenditure under that head, 2,4351., as com pared with the corresponding period of the preceding year. In the charge to revenue for maintenance of permanent way is 4,1341. for renewal of road with sleepers and new rails. This sum includes the relaying in the most permanent manner of the whole of the Woodhead Old Tunnel. The directors believe that an important saving may be made in the expenditure for maintenance and renewal of the per manent way and stations by means of a judicious con tract with a responsible party. The directoes have agreed with the London and North-Western Company to work the London-road passenger station at Manchester as a joint station. This arrangement will effect a consider able saving of expense, and promote the accommodation of the public. The company's railway traffic for the half-year ending the 31st of December last exhibits an increase of 26,9801., or 13.81 per cent. over the corres ponding ball-year of 1853, The increase in the num ber of passengers was 89,807, and in the receipts 6,6031.; in the tonnage of goods 829,028 tons, and in the re• ceipts 15,1161. ; in the minerals 86,679 tons, in re ceipts 3,790/. ; and in the parcels and mails an increase of 1,724/. The report adverts to the bills before Par liament, and to the friendly arrangements made with other companies for the interchange of traffic and for the convenience of the public. The capital ac count shows that 3,177,785/. had been received, and 8,167,7801. expended, leaving a balance of 10,0051, The revenue account for the half-year ending 31st Dec. last shows that 273,8941. had been received, including 88,255/. from the canals ; and 149,259/. expended, leav ing a profit on the working of 120,635/. EAST GRINSTEAD. The works on this line are in a forward state, and i is expected that it will be ready for traffic in March next GLASGOW, DUMBARTON, AND HELENSBURG. It appears that provisional arrangements have been made with contractors to construct the line for a sum within the engineer's estirrate. The necessary proceed ings have been taken preparatory to making application to Parliament for the incorporation of a company to con struct the line. The landed proprietors generally are in favour of the project, and nearly all of them have agreed to accept the fair value of the land required for the rail way. KENDAL AND WINDERMERE. The statement of accounts to be submitted to the pro prietors on the 25th inst. shows that 211,3501. had been received on capital account, and 213,1741. expended, leaving a balance against the company of 1,8241. The revenue account for the half-year ending the 31st of Dec. last shows that 7,0081. had been received, and 2,8251. expended, leaving a profit on the working of 4,1831. Out of this sum 1,2191. is deducted for interest on de bentures, and 1,2411. for interest on preference shares, leaving a balance of 1,7221. The reserved profits amount to 2,7771., which, added to the latter sum, make a total of 4,500/. to the credit of revenue. A dividend of ss. per share, less income-tax, would amount to 1,0701,, and leave a balance of 3,4301. GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN. The traffic receipts on this line for the year 1854 amounted to 288,143/„ and for the year 1853 to 290,1491., showing a decrease of 2,0061. This apparent decrease in the receipts of 1854, as compared with those of 1853, arose from the extraordinary increase in the traffics on this line, in common with other Irish 'railways, caused by the Great Exhibition in Dublin in 1853. The natural increase of traffic would probably not have been more than one-half that which took place in 1853 in conse quence of the Exhibition, and had it not been for that cause the receipts in 1854 would have been higher, and have shown a progressive increase over those of 1853, instead of a decrease.
