Soucrrons—W. 0. and W. Hunt, Robert Rising, Frederick Thomas Elgie. Worcester, October 24, 1844. SCO TTISH MIDLAND JUNCTION RAILWAY. Dundee, October 28,_1844!. St 11,-1 have read the" Notes" issued by-the authority of this Col./Ipar y, and they have afforded me much. amusement by their specious plausibility. As, however, they contain unfounded state ments, gratuitously advanced, in disparagement of undertakings which have already obtained the cordial support of the public; and are filled with exaggerations and arguments calculated to mislead those who are unacquainted with the true state of the facts; it is only right to make the public aware of the real character of the undertaking, in support of which these notes have been published. The line of the Midland Junction runs from Perth to Forfar, where, by the Prospectus, it is promised a junction will be formed with the Aberdeen Railway. The Prospectus further states that "the district is fertile and populous, and studded with towns and villages, and is the seat of important manufactures." It is intended that the two existing lines in Strathmore, namely, " tire-Newtyle and Coupar-Angus" and the " Newtyle and Glam. Iroise! Railways, snail corm a part of the Midland Junction line. These are to constitute the back-bone of tnis new tine or railway communication, from which very great benefits are expected to flow to the Shareholders of the new Company. The Shareholders of the old, it is understood, are to get new stock for their interest in the existing lines. Again, immense advantages are promised to the new undertaking from its joining "the Dundee and New. tyle Railway." . _ . These are the great inducements held out for the formation of the Midland Junction, and it is my wish candidly to examine into the different advantages referred to. 1. The proposed line is to be carried through a district where there is no traffic to support a railway. There is no trade, no com merce, and no adequate population upon the route. Coupar. Angus is an unimportant village, and has a population of 2,745. Newtyle is a still less important place, the population being about 465 ; Glammiss, 556 ; and Forfar, 7,981. There is no direct coach from Perth to Forfar; such a thing was never thought of; and, I am sure, were one started, it would not be continued for a week. The Defiance coach from Edinburgh to Aberdeen passes along this line of road, but, were the passengers by it from Perth to Forfar abstracted, they would not amount to two per day. There are no mills or manufactories on the line ; it is a purely agricul. tural district, thinly populated. 2. The " Aberdeen Railway" is not to join the Scottish Mid land Railway to Forfar, as stated in the Prospectus. At one time the Aberdeen line was intended to terminate there, but Mr. Cubitt, of London, was selected as referee to decide upon the best line to the North; and after examining the di§triet, and invelAikatlng the subject, he has recommended that the line should not be car ried by Forfar, and away from the seats of trade, commerce, and population, but should be brought by the large manufacturing towns upon the coast, thus joining Aberdeen, , Montrose, Arbroath, and Dundee (which contain alone a population of 150,000), and thence to Edinburgh by the lines of railway through Fife. This recommendation has been wisely adopted by the Aberdeen Rail. way Company, whereby they have got the cordial support of these large towns. The Midland Junction must now, therefore, end at Forfar. _ . 3. The advantages expected to arise to the Midland Junction from getting the Newtyle and Glammiss and Newtyle and Coupar. Angus lines merged into the New Company, are more than ques tionable. It is now seven years since those lines were opened for traffic, and they have never paid the Shareholders one single far. thing in the shape of dividend. On the contrary, the gentlemen of the Committee on these lines are under personal obligation for a large debt, which will be readily handed over to the Midland Junction as an additional advantage. A meeting of the Share holders of the old lines has been held, and they, as may naturally be supposed. re:.dily agreed to give over their works, and take new stock for the amount—some of them shrewdly observing, " We cannot be worse." To show the utter insignificance of the traffic upon the Newtyle and Glammiss and Coups,- Angus lines, which are to form the stay of the New Company, neither of them has been able to maintain a locomotive engine, or even one between them. This fact, to parties versant in railway statistics, requires no comment. 4. The advantages anticipated from the junction with the New tyle line are equally " imaginary." This line is ten miles in length, having three inclined planes, with three stationary engines and a tunnel. It has been open for about twelve years, and has never yielded any dividt nd to the Shareholders, and is considered to be a total loss. Its shares can be got at ls. each. The debt upon it is somewhere about 30,000/., and the Midland Junction will, it is believed, be made welcome to it at 10s. per pound. These statements I would not have hazarded had I thought they could be gainsaid; but I am sure there is no member of the Provisional Committee of the Scottish Midland Junction Railway who can controvert one single fact I have stated. I invite them to do so. This scheme has been before the public for many months, with. out even an attempt to allocate the stock, and in this qu•irter it has met with almost no pecuniary support, being looked upon as chime rical, and will be allowed to fall to the ground, without the aid of capital from a distance.

THE LAW REVIEW, and QUARTERLY JOURNAL of BRITISH and FOREIGN JURISPRUDENCE. The great attention which, - for the last fifteen years, has deservedly been given in this country to Law Reform, has led to man 3 important measures ; and it must be - admitted that the Legislature is now sufficiently alive to the defects of the present system. P u bli c men of all parties agree i n p rom oting the improvement of th e l aw, and i n every recent session of Parliament, Acts have been passed making various alterations. Much, towever, doubtless remains to be done, but it is of the utmost consequence that this present strong feeling in favour of law amendment should be carried into the right direction, sad that all measures having for their design any change in the law, should be submitted to the strictest examination... One of the main objects of the "Law rievice . is to facilitate the discussioon of all suggestions and reforms of this nature, to promote those which appear to be beneficial, and to oppoSt those which are considered to be of an opposite tendency: In endeitivouring to give effect to these views, all questions of party politics will be avoided. The present seems to be also a proper time for establishing a work which shall not only fur nish to the profession a full and accurate account of the great altera tions which have recently been made in the law, hut facilitate their adoption in practice. Each number will contain articles of this nature. it is also the intention, every quarter, to give a compendious account of all the • leading cases Which have been reported in the pre ceding three months. Memoirs or notices of all eminent lawyers, who have in recent times adorned the benck and the bar, will be given. Reviews of all important legal publications form an essential,part of the work. Parliamentary papers and reports of. Committees on the subject of the law Will be abstracted. Attention will be paid to foreign and comparative jurisprudence when the limited space of the Review admits of articles of this nature.

A NEW AND IMPORTANT EDITION 'OF THE SILENT FRIEND ON HUMAN FRAILTY. FRIGHTFUL ATTACK BY A BOAR AT FALKIRK.- On Saturday forenoon, as a man named Mills, who keeps a boar, was returning to the town with the animal, and when near the West Burn-bridge, it seems to have scented out, or been formerly aware, that another was kept in a garden a few paces off the street. It instantly became desperately excited, and wheeled off the road to get a' kept back and s i t t s r u c o k p p o b n y e n t t h , e b u o t w w n e a r s . courageously exasperated the furious brute the more, which turned suddenly round, and with a desperate spring knocked the man down, seizing him at the same time by the groin, and with its huge tusks, which were firmly locked, dragged him rapidly along the ground. He did not relinquish his hold of the rope, however, and was seized by the hand and wrist. Being in the most imminent danger, the spectators shouted to him to allow the beast to get away. This he did, when breaking into the stye, a terrific combat took place, both animals lacerating each other with great fury. In the meantime poor Mills was con veyed into a neighbouring house, and Mr. Coubrough, surgeon, being fortunately passing at the time, he ob tained the speedy assistance of two other medical men ; when it was found that although a wound of nearly eight inches wide had been inflicted among the muscles, no large artery was cut. The whole upper part of the thigh was shockingly mangled, and the injuries on the arm were of a dangerous nature. The sufferer was con veyed home in the afternoon, and lies in a very pre carious state. After great exertion, and no little risk, the two boars were separated, and the one which com menced the attack, which is of great size, and about five years old, was shot.

We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffbr. ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages." —Age and Argus. " The Authors of ' The silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day.

Edited by David Leahy, one of the Counsel in the Cause. London, H. Butterworth. [Continued from The' Sun of Oct. 29.] The important passages of the judgment not actually addressed by the Chief Justice to the Lords, but by him committed to writing, with the original intention of incorporating them into the address actually de livered, are'comprised in the following " Additional Observations:" — [I had originally intended to distribute a portion at least of the following matter through the preceding part of the publication, in the form of notes, appended to the several parts of the text to which they be respectively appropriate. But as this proceeding would have the • effect of interrupting the continuity of perusal and dis turbing the unity of impression, I have thought it,better to present the matter altogether, in its present form and situation, feeling convinced that every person who is capable of understanding the nature, and estimating the i:nportance, of the subject, will agree with me in think ing that these " Additional Observations" are in no degree inferior to the judgment itself, either in respect to the cogency of the argument—the lucid exposition of the subject--rthe aptness of the illustrations, and above all, in the . dignified earnestness of the zeal with which the Noble and Learned Lord has vindicated the sanctity of the administration of justice, and preserved to all the subjects of the realm, the ancient and constitutional re- dress against all occurrences, whether intended or aeci-• dental, which could have the effect of contaminating the purity and impartiality of trial by jury.] " The challenge was demurred to by the Attorney- General, and the demurrer allowed, after argument, by the Court. The challenge was overruled, whether cor rectly or not, we are now to inquire—a question of the highest and most extensive consequence, as affecting jury trials both in England and Ireland, the statutable enactments under which they take place in both parts of the United Kingdom being substantially the same. "In both the clerk of the peace originates the process by which juries are constituted. In England he sends a precept to the chief constable, who calls the parish officers into action, and then returns to the petty sessions lists of persons liable to serve. The petty sessions make from them a general list, and hand it over to the quarter sessions, whose officer transmits it, when it is revised and settled, to the sheriff. In Ireland the cess-collectors are the persons required to send such list to the quarter sessions, i.e., in the county of the city of Dublin, to the recorder, whose duty is to reform and marshal the lists, and send them to the sheriff. In each part of the United- Kingdom the sheriff makes from these lists a book; called the Sheriff's Book, whence all the juries to try issues during the ensuing year are to be drawn in the manner pointed out by the Act. The challenge here is, that the recorder did not send to the sheriff the lists which he himself had awarded and adjudged to be the correct lists, but that between his revision of them and his transmission of them to the sheriff, sixty names had been by some unknown person fraudulently withdrawn from the lists, and that the book, from which the panel was after Wards returned, was defective by the omission of theie sixty names. " A 'doubt appears to have been entertained whether, under the present , jury system, the proceeding by chal lenge to-the array is still a part of the la w . I n some form it is essential to trial by jury. It is a part of our ancient law, and it is clear that it has not been abolished by express enactment. Whether a privilege of such great value could be taken away by implication, might admit of grave deli beration. But the intention to repeal without substituting any similar security is hardly to be believed. Penalties are imposed on all the successive officers employed on this duty for the neglect of any portion of it, but there is no provision that the defective lists shall stand good not withstanding. The great object of improving the mode of appointing juries was undoubtedly to purify the prac tice, and prevent all tampering, and suspicion of tamper ing, with the construction of those important bodies. But if - the present doubt is well founded, the most im pure proceeding might pass unquestioned ; the most corrupt packing of juries might prevail. For though in the present instance no suspicion is felt as to the motives, this argument goes the length of depriving the parties of all redress, however criminal the design may have been. This question is not, however, open to speculation. The Act of -6 -Geo. IV.. c. 50, which is our Jury Act, Rily t ietta, repealed certain parts of the former LW, left the rest: each having expressly abolished the writ of attaint, and certain causes of challenge to the polls, refers to, recognises, and therebypreserves, the right of challenge to the array, the former in its 28th section, the latter in its 21st " From admitting such challenge for the cause stated in the present case, great inconvenience is however pre dicted. The objection being to the book of jurors for the current year, is supposed to prevent the summoning any good jury for that year. The Chief Justice observed, ' This is not the case of Reg. v. O'Connell alone ; it is the case of all parties who have issues to be tried during the period for which the book is to be in force. The Court cannot set aside that array without setting aside the book itself from which all juries must come.' " This doctrine seems open to many observations. 1. Whatever inconvenience the law produces must be borne by those whose duty it is to administer the law. The etteessite intonvenience of one constructide of'sati itin - - bmotts-Act-may f furnish a strong argament in favour of another construction equally, ,consistent, with its words: but it cannot introduce words which are not there, nor a construction of which no words which are there are sus ceptible. 2.- Taking the supposed inconvenience at the highest, what are we to say of subjecting parties, through any misconduct, negligence, or default, in official persons, to a trial by a different jury from that which the law provides for them. But 3. The incon venience imagined is a chimera, if the objection be of such a nature as to prove that the book called the Jurors' Book appears to have no title to be so styled. And this appears to me to be its true result ; fur if the sheriff has not received the book described and required by the Act, the Jury Acts of both countries have met this in convenience by express enactment. Provided,' says the 14th section of the Act for England, and in the same form the 11th of the Act for Ireland, that if there shall be no jurors' book in existence for the current year, it shall be lawful to return jurors from the jurors' book for the year preceding.' And if this construction of the proviso be considered doubtful, still, 4. it may be ob served, that the supposition of the Court's setting aside the book generally, when they give effect to a challenge of the array in a particular case, by reason of the imper fection of such book, can hardly be maintained. Other parties may not challenge, notwithstanding the defect, and the book actually sent by the sheriff, if unchallenged must stand good ; or they might be unable to prove the facts, or might have waived the objection, or be estopped from insisting upon it. " Another doubt is expressed—whether challenge lies to the array after a special jury has been struck,—a doubt, I presame, resting on the principle that a party who attends the striking of the special jury must be taken to waive all objection to the book whence the forty eight names are drawn. But a parenthesis in section the 25th of the Act for Ireland, literally transcrit ed from the 31k1 of that of England, expressly contemplates the non-attendance of the parties, and provides what shall be done in their absence. Now the present record gives no information whether the parties attended or not. If the Attorney-General had, instead of demurring, pleaded their attendance as a waiver, the traversers might have replied in denial of the fact, or might have explained it in some way which would prevent its opera tion as a waiver. But perhaps it is sufficient for this point —that a challenge lies to the array after a special jury has been struck—to rely on the direct authority of Lord Tenterden, and the whole Court of King's Bench, in R. v. Edmonds. " Those who argue against the right of challenge to the array must be content to take up a position ever regarded by our Conets,with the utmost jealousy—that here is a right which cannot be effectuated—a wrong without redress. Remedy or redress there is none pre tended, however defective the panel may be, or from whatever cause or motive the defect has arisen, unless it can be obtained through the old and well-known con stitutional proceeding of challenge to the array. " But an opinion has in some way grown up, that the array can be challenged for no cause but one—partiality. or, as our books phrase it, unindifferenoy, in the sheriff. Now, though this was probably the most ordinary ground for such challenge and though on conviction the sheriff would be punished by the Court, whose officer he was, it is obvious that the object of the party challenging must have been his own security, much more than the sheriff's punishment. His, security is a lawful jury. Unindifferency in the sheriff might deprive - him of it ; but so might other faults. Unindifferency is plainly stated by Lord Coke as an example • he adds the more general word default,' and constantly repeats, both in describing the effect of the challenge. If then the sheriff, or other officer (i.e., such other officer as may by law be clothed with his duty of returning juries), should transmit to the Court a panel from a list out of which it ought not to have been taken ; as if he should insert names of persons having no qualification -within his bailiwick, here is a default, which would support the challenge. Is it not equally a default to snake up the panel from a book which omits a whole class that ought to have been there ? If the law enjoins him to make a general.list, composed of lists A, B, and C, and then to s. lect his panel from that general list, but he thinks pro p( r to compose his general list from lists A and B is this no default ? It may be venial—it may involve less blame to him than to some of his subordinates, and the Court may properly refuse to exercise its power of punishing the officer ; but surely the party, who has duly complained of the evil consequence to himself and his own security for a fair trial, cannot justly have that unlawful jury forced 'upon him. " Still it is urged, that the shl.nff must be the party in " After some little hesitation it is at length broadly maintained that no wrong has been done, no right violated, and that the traversers have had as much justice done them, as if no malpractice with the list had ap peared. Both the learned judges, who agree with the Chief Justice in his conclusion, rely mainly, though be does not, on this point. The venerable senior puisne judge admits that 700 or 800 names ought to have been returned ; he remarks that the mind would be startled by a book containing no more than twenty or thirty ;' he adds, however, that here 717 were returned ; suf ficient number to select a fair and impartial jury from.' Mr. Justice Crampton adds : There is an abundant number of names on the panel to form a jury from which a fair trial may be obtained.' He immediately after con chides his judgment thus: ' It /nay be a hardship on the traversers, or it may be a hardship on the Crown ; but the principle of law is of universal application, that a particular injury must give way to a general inconveni ence. No particular injury is pointed out: general in convenience is pointed out, because, by pronouncing a judgment in favour of this challenge, we pronounce that there can be no valid trial either by special or common jury in 1844.' " One leading consideration, then, which led the Court to overrule the challenge was, that the actual list, whe ther rightly or wronglr'returned, was numerous enough to promise a fair trial. I cannot discover w h at the relative numbers were. Mr . Justice Burton's state ment,. taken literally, woul d show an entire list of 17 , and a deduction of 60 from the county spec i al jury-list Dublinalone. But I should presume that contains so large a num b er of qualified jurors, that those t he qualified for special juri es co t not be few er . that 717. Even on this latter supp osition it seems difficult to be qu ite sure that the reduction of threescore—the proffer of so limited a choice — was not itself an injury. "It is said that particular injury is stated' in the " Fraud is an extrinsic collateral act, which vitiates the most solemn proceedings of Courts of J ust i ce.

The whole subject lies beyond the reach of human spe culation. But as long as men differ in their opinions, understandings, and feelings, and so long as these in fluence their decision on disputed points of morality, expediency, and general policy, so long must it be at least uncertain whether the extrusion of a tolerably large proportion of persons from the body to which they belong may not materially affect the character of its ge neral composition, and vary the chances of their arriving at such or such a conclusion. Here, if the true list had been entered in the sheriff's book, it might have hap pened that not one of the gentlemen who tried this case would have been suffered to enter the jury -box. The jury might have consisted altogether of individuals com prised in the omitted sixty, and might have brought to the inquiry such sentiments and habits of thinking as might have insured the acquittal of all the persons under default, and here it is said to bo the recorder, with this I ' accusation. addition, th a t th e recor d er i s ma d e by the act a judicial "Todisclaim anything like an opinion that this wou ld officer entrusted to exam i ne t h e li sts o f j urors — to strike have happened, or a suspicion of the fairness of th ose b y off such th ere i n enumerated as may not be qualified to whom the cause was tried, cannot be necessary.

"Another objection to this challenge occurred to Mr. Justice Crampton—that the panel was spoiled by a stranger. ' What is ground of challenge to the array according to law ?' asks the learned judge. He answers, ' A challenge founded on partiality in the officers. You may challenge the return for fraud or mistake in the officer, but fraud in a stranger will net give the Court jurisdiction.' I certainly had thought that a fraudulent interference with the process of the-Court would have given jurisdiction over the offender's person, and, still more clearly, over the document which he had mutilated.* If not, it should seem that a stranger, striking out of the reduced panel of twenty-four, any number of names lie chose, and introducing the names of others, might im pose this jury of his own fabrication as the twelve men appointed by law for the trial. But if the stranger's act was adopted by the sheriff, or any other officer entrusted to return the jury, this would be the act of such officer, in conformity to what is laid down by Lord Coke, in 1 Inst. 156, from an authority in the Year Books. " For may part, I do not understand how the right to challenge the array can rest on any other principle than the right of her Majesty's subjects to have their interests decided by juries duly constituted according to law. That jury, which was returned from partiality, or im perfect through any default in the sheriff, was not con stituted. On that officer, and on the bailiffs of franchises who performed analogous functions, the whole duty was cast in ancient times. By the recent Act it is divided with other officers ; but if the panel is rendered essen tially imperfect by any one of these, when not exercising a judicial capacity, the subject loses the protection which the law would have afforded him, and the principle of challenge to the array applies. " During the discussion, I heard a suggestion thrown i out—from what quarter I do not now remember—to meet the argument arising from the absence of all other remedy. The party was said to be at liberty to apply by motion to the Court. I confess that lamat a loss to find it just or reasonable to strip a party of a well known constitutional process, fully adequate to correct the wrong and prevent the mischief, and refer him to the discretion of any Court, exercised on facts brought before it in the unsatisfactory form of written deposi tions, where the accused officer has the benefit of swear ing last, when questions of fact would be withdrawn from the tribunal established for settling them, and the law would be laid down without appeal. In the present case, however, we collect, that such application was actually made, and refused. I must con jecture, that the facts now admitted on demurrer were not well proved by the affidavits ; for if they were taken to be true, I can hardly conceive a stronger case for setting aside a jury panel, than that which exists in the present case.

Having these facts before him, Mr. Booth, the lecturer on chemistry, has in a most praiseworthy spirit, drawn public attention to the subject, and calls for a full and searching inquiry into the phenomena under consideration. fie says, that "in the incipient decom position which precedes ignition, gaseous compounds readily ig nitable are formed, generating a highly com bustible a tmosphere, t. so that when heat sufficient to gene rate flame is produced this will at once act along the whole surface of the area, producing, as with the fire damp, a simultaneous blaze."
