It was an appeal from the County Court of Lincolnshire. Mr. J. R. Quain, Q.C., instructed by Messrs. Rollet and Son, of Hull, appeared for the plaintiff, who is a farmer at Healing, in Lincolnshire ; and Mr. Russell for the defendants, the appellants. The action was brought to recover damages for injuries to a horse of the plaintiff whilst being carriedon the defendants' railway.

HEPWORTH DIXON, body of landlords who were tolerably well to do, and substituted for them others' who will be needy, and consequently very exacting. (Cheers.) Nor must you forget this, that under a system of innu merable small ownerships you would have the very worst evil of the Ireland of old days repe tted—l mean the continual subdivision of holdings,, and the consequent indefinite multiplication of paupers. Then there is the Abyssinian war, awl very vexa tions it is, but we are beginning, I think, to see the difficulties of that expedition have been greatly over rated in the public opinion, and though I .tm afraid that in point of money it will be very expenive, yet I think we have every reason to believe no: merely that success will be attained, but that it will be al - - tained at a comparatively small cost oe life. (Cheers.) If we look to Europe, I would say that notwithstanding that vast increase of continental armaments which we have all observed, and which we must all regret—notwithstanding that, I do not think that there is any reason to fear an early dis turbance of the general peace. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Great armaments may sometimes be in tended as a menace to other States, but very often, also, they are merely a sign of distrust, a pre caution taken against real or imaginary danger. Even these wretched Fenian troubles are not altogether without their compensation. They have called out the English spirit of loyalty and order ; they have shown us how few and feeble are those would-be disturbers of the public peace ; and they have shown us something which is not less important—that together with a firm de termination to put down outbreaks if they should occur, there is in the English mind no feeling of blind anger, no hasty or indiscriminate panic, but rather a feeling of men mingledwho perplexity and pity_ pi have been duped and misled t)for theignorant into crime; perplexity to understand how and why we should be so much detested b y p ersons to whom we wish nothing but good. ( Cheers. ) It only remains for me to thank you, in m y own name and that of my colleagues, for the rec e p tion of this evening, and to assure you that what is here seen arid heard in Bristol will not be soon for g otten.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, a like LUNCHEON BAR, GLASSHOUSE-STREET (One door from Regent-street), CUISINE FRANC RISE, &e. Author of "New America," &c. Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street. The Times condo7es with the men of Bristol that neither the chief of the Ministry nor the leader of the House of Commons attended their banquet. But Sir J. Pakington and Mr. Hardy were present, and Lord Stanley, whose words perhaps inspire more confidence thaw those of any other member of the Ministry, made the speech of the evening. He was in his happiest vein. He took his hearers into his confidence, and when he is frank and con. fidential he is apt, as members of the House of Commons are well aware, to be extremely winning. Some slight retrospect he made of the work of last session. It had brought great responsibilities, frequent anxieties, no incon siderable obloquy on the Ministry. The change which had been effected was important, and no one can pretend to predict with certainty its results. But Lord Stanley de serves credit for speaking his mind on the Irish question. There is undoubtedly widespread discontent, and thi s althgugh the material condition of the inhabitants , of Ireland is far better than it was twenty years ago. What is to be the remedy for it ? Nothing less than a separate national existence is demanded by the Fenian con spirators, while more constitutional agitators declare that the repeal of the Union is the single means of restoring peace. Those who ask for the one or the other are asking, Lord Stanley declares, for what they can never obtain. Ireland and England are inseparable now and for ever. This, indeed, is accepted as a starting point in the discussion by every practical politician, but it is not amiss that it should be reaffirmed with decision. The Times believes that the dream of nationality expressed in the demands thus emphatically negatived is an evanescent folly, cherished by very few of the inhabitants of Ireland, imported from elsewhere, and destined to disappear through its own want of substance. There remain the two great subjects of parliamentary controversy, the Church and the land. As to the first, Lord Stanley declined to say a word about it. It was impossible, he urged, that a dying Parliament should undertake to legislate upon such a question, and it must be remitted to the Parliament returned by the new constituencies. It is plain that no Reformer will object to this delay. If the party ordinarily believed to be the peculiar defenders of the ecclesiastical establishment of Ireland are willing to trust its fate to the Reformed Parliament, with all its imperfections on its head, the Opposition cannot refuse their assent The land question admits of more than definite criticism. Lord Stanley put aside, with a brief but felicitous exposi tion of the evil consequences which would flow from it, the wild suggestion, broached in more than one quarter, that the present tenants of the soil should be converted into proprietors, subject only to the payment of the exist ing rents to their landlords. The futility, to say nothing of the injustice, of such a plan is evident on the least re flection, and it is discreditable to our political intelligence that any one should have been encouraged to put it for ward. But while Lord Stanley energetically repudiated quacks and quackery in dealing with Ireland, he admitted the fairness, under proper safeguards, of conceding to the tenant compensation for any improvements he has made, and referred to the fact that the Ministry had approved the principles of such a measure. As the late Adminis tration had also embodied it in a bill introduced by them selves, it would seem that the proper aim of legislation has been discovered, and the differences which exist must be found in the method of achieving it. rant's High-class Wines at wholesale prices.

THE BRISTOL CONSER VA 7'IVE BANQUET. Last night a grand banquet was given to her Majesty's Ministers by the Bristol Conservative Association. The Earl of Derby and the Chancellor of the Exchequer were unavoidably absent, but among those present were Lord Stanley, M.P., Mr. M.P., Sir J. P a ki ng t on , M.P., and G. Hardy, Colonel Taylor, M.P., Lord Tredegar, Lord North wick, Sir L. Palk, M.P., &c. The Duke of Beau fort, K.G., presided. The banquet took place in havingwe T r e h l e a i b d ce f He o nA r hA O uN O s i p pa s e r r s toi p o o c an proposers yd the hall of the B r i s t o l V o l unteer C orps. C overs re T ,s, h pT e ohn u tie s e u dA al rtmo lo ,y ya , l toasts Navy, Yeomanry, and Volunteers." Sir J. PAKINGTON, who was received with loud cheers, in responding to the toast, said—lt would ill become me to remind you of the long-established claims of the army and navy to the gratitude and good feeling of their countrymen. I may say, with out indulging in any idle boast or in any undue na tional partiality—l may say that which I sincerely believe, that so far as their numerical strength goes, the army of England is not inferior to that of any other nation of the world; but, gentlemen, the glories and the triumphs of the British army have not been achieved alone upon the battlefield of Europe. There is no quarter of the globe, there is no climate in which these troops have not fought and conquered ; and now at this very moment a large division of the British army is engaged in a most arduous service in maintaining the honour of the country. (Cheers.) It is possible that that division of the army may not be exposel to any great amount of the usual dangers of war. We have read of late in some of the public journals that King Theodore of Abyssinia with some difficulty has possessed himself of one great gun, and that now he is unable to move it. (Laughter.) This certainly looks as if the ordnance department of his Majesty was not in the most flourishing condi tion. (Laughter.) But, on the other hand, we don't yet know that our gallant troops may not have to contend with great—l trust not overpower ing —numbers, and certainly with men of indivi dual bravery. We are certain they will have to make long marches in an unknown country ; that they will have to submit to difficulties and priva tions and dangers of climate in a country many parts of which are most unfavourable to Euro peans ; and that, whatever may be the re sult of that expedition, our: troops will have to call into exercise those great powers of endurance which have always distinguished the British soldier. (Cheers.) Let me ask you, there fore, whilst you are drinking the health of the British army, to join me in expression of the earnest hope that our gallant men who have gone to Abys sinia may speedily return to their country, having achieved the righteous. and great object for which they have gone—(cheers)—and that, whatever may have bean the exertions they have been called upon to make, they will return with an untarnished, if not an increased, reputadon. (Cheers.) • Admiral TRYON acknowledged the toast on behalf of the navy. Colonel HOGG, M.P., then, in highly eulogistic terms, proposed the toast of the evening, " The Health of her Majesty's Ministers," which was re ceived with great enthusiaom, three cheers being given for Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli. Lord STANLEY, on rising to acknowledge the toast; was warmly cheered. He said—My lords, ladies, and gentlemen,—Oil my own behalf, and on that of my colleagues, !absent as well as pre sent, I thank you all, and I only wish that our friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer had been able to be present, that he might have seen and heard the enthusiasm with which his name has been received. (Cheers.) I will not deny that, if a mark of confidence is at all times welcome, it be comes peculiarly so under the circumstances in which we are at present placed. We have, passed through a stormy and a critical period. We have been placed in a position of more than ordinary respon sibility and difficulty. We have had to decide matters of the gravest national importancc, and upon which hanest and intelligent men, 2ialing at the same general results, may reasonably differ. (Hear, hear.) We came to the conclusion, not, perhaps, on the part of some of us without consider able hesitation ; but we cane to the conclusion that the course which we actually adopted was the best and safest for the country and the best also for our party, but we did not expect that that conclusion would necessarily be shared by all who acted with us, or that no difference of opinion would. arise ; and I need not say that, of all differences, none are more painful than those which break out between old political friends and allies. (Hear, hear.) Under these circumstances—and trying circum stances I think they were—the Conservative party stood by those whom it had chosen and recognised as its leaders with a firm,' generous, and an un wearied confiderlje which I for one shall never forget. In that I think they acted wisely ; and it. is to us no small gratification that you also share the same conviction, and by your presence here to day, and by your cheers, and by the language of your chairman, have declared that we had not lightly abandoned the course which we undertook to defend, but that we have simply exercised a wise discretion in declining to place ourselves—and in placing ourselves in placing yourselves too—in the invidious and untenable position of antagonism to the deliberately expressed wish of the nation. I do not wish to go back into old disputes, but, if there be any, and there maybe even here those who think the legislation of the last year involves a certain amount of political changes, I ask them this—Do they think there would have been no danger in standing still ? (Hear, hear.) Look at the circum stances of the moment. We cannot say that they are in all respects satisfactory. We have a war on our hands—a very little one, no doubt, but still a war. We have commercial depression prevailing in some places to an almost unprecedented degree. We have distress, very severe and protracted, among a large section of the working classes in London and elsewhere. We have discon tent—l fear I may say disaffection—rather widely spread in Ireland. And does any man believe that it would littleotunldthheasevedbiffieennulatiesif, i or an insignificant addi tionn every town of Eng land, you had had a large part of the poorer popu lationythdeprived of po litical rights, believingan and itself ready,to u a n n j y a sot of them, in the l be lief to follow any unscrupulous agitator who might find it his interest to trade on their passions ? (Hear, hear.) I will not deny that the constitu tional change of last year is one of a serious charac ter. Nor do I affirm that any man can with abso lute certainty predict all its results. Butl certainly do not look at them with the alarm which is ing men are a majority in the new constituencies. ex pressed in some quarters, when it is said, " Work- They can do what they please. Your are absolutely in their hands." It naturally occurs to me to ask, Who were the majority ? Who were the most nu merous class in the old constituencies ? Well, I apprehend the answer would be, small tradesmen, tenant farmers, and persons in that rank of life ; but I look in vain through the legislation of the. last thirty years for any indication that small trades men and tenant-farmers have directed in any pecu liar or exclusive sense either the making or adminis tration of our constitutional laws. (hear, hear.) Others say, Look at the colonies —see how things are managed there. My answer is, We are not a colony —we are an old country, with ancient tradi tions and social habits deeply rooted; and I do not believe wealth fairly used, and culture which is real as well as showy, will easily lose in England the in fluence which they at p resen t possess over the English people. (Cheer s .) S om e of you may think that I have been sanguine in what I have said, and perhaps it is no less sanguine to hope, as I do hope, that the next two or three years may not pass away without leaving behind them something which shall be not less memorable than the Reform Bill of 1867 in the social history of the country. (Hear.) By that something I mean a wise, a large, and a well-considered measure for the education of the people. (Loud cheera.) That is a ques tion with which the Conservative party are not one whit behind their opponents in the de sire, and, as I believe, in the power, to deal. (Cheers.) Lord Derby was the founder of that system of national teaching which still, though in a modified form, subsists in Ireland. My friend Sir J. Pakington, who sits beside me, long ago took up the question as it relates to England. Others of us have helped according to the measure of our ability, and I think the present time is favourable. (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen, there is another subject on which I fear I can't speak in an equal tone. It is one which I suppose at the pre sent moment is hardly ever absent from the mind of any person who takes part in public affairs. I mean the painful, the dangerous, and to us, in ap pearance at least, the discreditable state of things which unhappily continues to exist in Ireland. We have, indeed, in that country a strange and per plexing problem to solve. I suppose there was a time when Englishimen of all parties and all classes were more anxious to give all reasonable satis faction to Irish demands, and even, as far as can be done, without national injury, to humour the feelings and prejudices of the Irish people. (Hear, hear.) The material condition of Ireland is not bad; certainly it is far above the average of what it has been in former years ; the peasantry are better fed, better clothed, and better paid than they were twenty years ago. (Hear, hear.) The more educated class share absolutely, and without restriction, the advantages of British citizenship. Nothing is wanted except a little peace and security for uncounted millions of B r iti s h capital as English we a lth s it continues every has poured into pour i s n n t o n t t l h a n a d t country n n d a day to pour into colonies that are separated from us by the breadth of the globe. Well, gentlemen. if I were not wearying yon — (cries of " No, no") there is that other question of the land upo n w hi c h I should like to say a word or two. I wan t t o see any side as to what put forward as annp compensation that parl i question w f i u ti l i l o y n tand disguise n thoroughly n argued out in y is nu me n a ll n k t. n nw T , h i e s demandth that of m constantly sation to be granted to the tenant for improvements which he has made. That, under proper safeguards, is well enough. We have admitted the principle. But, when you have settled that point, the fundamental cause of difference still remains. What, I won't say the Irish peasant, but a considerable number of the Irish peasantry, want, is not a compensation for improvements—which not one in a hundred ever make—but to be transfortne I, without pay ment, from yearly tenants into owners of tg soil. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) No, that is a demand which I cannot conceive, under any circumstances, that a British legislator can assent to. - '(Loud cheers, and a voice, " Certainly not.") If the principle is good for Ireland it is good for England also ; and more than that, if the operation is to be performed once it will have to be repeated ,indefi nitely, for the tenant turned proprietor rnight, of course, sublet, and if I know anything ofirish na ture, he certainly will-L(hear, bear)—anA then you will have a fresh class of tenants at will under the same conditions asi those wh) existel - before, with only this difference, that you will have removed a Mr. G. HARDY, who met with a most hearty re scaeipdti:o—ni h r a es v p e o t n o de t d h . ank Th m e y rig k h in t d h f o r n ie . Miles, for the handsome and flattering terms in nd g , en S tl i e r m l a V n . which he has been pleased to allude to any services that I have rendered in the office which I have had the honour to hold. lam glad to have heard those Househearty o a f c c ce o n na ts ra , o w n h s ic w h t of his hesion of his own party and the respect itwhoeuret g n a e i v n e i r n g h e o a v r e d r t i h n e a t h d to this time the heartiness which made him , when e in the House of Commons, the type of a county op ponents. (Cheers.) lam glad that he has retained member, and which I hope will continue to be as well represented in future Parliaments. (Cheers.) Sir Wm. Miles has spoken of the House of Coin mons in terms which any one who is at all ac quainted with it would use. He had recalled the transactions of Parliaments which sat long ago, and has shown that notwithstanding Reform, there has been practically no g reat change which has separated one House of Commons from another; but that, tin spite of advancing changes, one House of Commons is bound by a na tural tie to that which has gone before, and that every House of Commons has represented the prevailing opinion of the country, as I believe it did in the last century, as I am sure it did previous to 1832, as it has done since that time, and as I be lieve it will do after 1869. (Cheers.) My noble friend has spoken of the reasons which rendered it necessary to introduce a measure of Parliamentary Reform. Parliament itself had made a Reform Bill absolutely necessary ; iu 1859 the Conservative party were themselves parties to a Reform Bill ; and but for the course of procedure which was then adopted —a coarse which I will not now characterise —a settlement of the question might then have been arrived at which would have lasted for many years. (Cheers). When we took office—or rather I may say when we were forced into office by the peculiar circumstances of 1866—a Reform Bill had become an absolute necessity. Every party in Parliament was pledged to it. Every bill that had been proposed on the subject had been read a second time, and what is more, the House of Commons was pledged to a reduction of the franchise, the only point remaining to be settled on this question being whether that reduction should be made on the principle of a fixed rental or of a rating franchise. In considering this question we had to decide whether we should undertake so great a task with a determination to bring it to a perma nent conclusion, or whether we should only effect such a settlement as would be made the ground-work of a renewed and even dangerous agitation. We determined to fix it on a basis which we believe would be durable and permanent. (Cheers.) Wehave lately been told that attempts will be made to remove what I believe to be the fundamental principle of the Act, viz., that clause under which every voter will bear a portion of the burdens of the country ; but I believe the good sense of the country will decide that the residuum which cannot pay its rates must still remain a residuum, and justly so. (Cheers.) It is not in such a presence as this that it is necessary to vindicate our course. When it is necessary to do so we shall be ready. But not to linger any more on the past, I hope we shall receive from this occasion such encouragement for the future as may tend to bring about results which will long have a beneficial influence on the pros perity and happiness of the country. If you have come to this banquet merely to cheer, and then re turn to your homes and become the idle and apa thetic Conservative party—if you withdraw your selves from the masses about to be enfranchised, you will bring about the very danger which has been so much deprecated, of separating class from class, as if I and my noble friends were not every bit as hard-working men as any of you. (Cheers.) Let us blend and unite ourselves together, and go down into the great arena which has been opened up by the new Act of Parliament ; you will there have a great audience, and, if you fight for your principles like men, you will find that you will derive far greater support from it than many of us are at present disposed to expect. But we are told we have swept away all the barriers, and that chaos will come again. I will repeat the lines weich have been used by a working man : " In other lands, by slightest shock, The civil fabric falls ; In ours, eternal as the rock, It rears its massive walls— A barrier to convulsion firm, Firm as our island shore, Which has rolled back ten thousand storms, And shall ten thousand more." Not like chaos, and not like the bursting of a reser voir, which breaks its banks from want of attention or from improper construction, but like the flooding of the Nile, which the Egyptian awaits, and as it spreads over the land hopes that it will fertilise the soil ; so I trust the, result with us may be the spread of peace, religion, and contentment. (Cheers.) A number of other toasts followed, and protracted the proceedings, which were of the most enthu siastic character, to a late hour. STORAGE OF GUNPOWDER IN LIVERPOOL—A tOM mittee of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce reported to the meeting of the council yesterday that they had made inquiries into rumours, which had caused much anxiety, that considerable quantities of gunpowder were stored in Liverpool, and they had ascertained that there was no cause for alarm, and that the arrangements for storing and de livering gunpowder were oufficient o prevent accident. In an article on the imprisonment of Matilda Griggs, the Post expresses its belief that the entire system on which criminal prosecutions are conducted in this country is faulty in the extreme, and the committal to prison of a young girl who narrowly escaped being murdered is simply a grotesque illustration of one of the many anomalies of the existing law. Except in grave cases, the task of pro secuting criminals is imposed on private individuals, and the discharge of this duty is provided for by the clumsy expedient of personal recognisances. The consequences are that a great hardship is inflicted on unoffending indi ♦iduals, who are thus compelled to put themselves to great expense and in convenience in order to vindicate the outraged rights of society. If they attempt—whether from disin clination or from stronger motives—to withdraw from the position into which they are forced, they are heavily mulcted, orb, if paupers, are sent to prison. If, however., this system in practice proved tolerably effectual in secur. ing the due administration of justice, it might have little ground for complaint. But such is not the case. It not infrequently happens that the supposed delinquent finds the means of satisfying a prosecutor or a witness that more is to be gained by absenting himself on the occasion of the trial than by being present, and in such cases justice is openly defeated. The imposition of a recognisance in directly gives a prosecutor or a witness the option of with drawing on condition of paying the amount confessed to be due, and if this be done there is io means of punishing the most flagrant contumacy. Apropos of strikes, the Daily News remarks that while the labourer and capitalist maintain their hostile attitude the whole country suffers. Trade unionists assure us that a successful strike causes a permanent addition to their incomes, but they have never shewn that this gain com pensates for the diminution of the national wealth occa. iioned by the cessation of national industry which is involved in all strikes and lock-outs. Nor has it been demonstrated that any artificial increase in the price of lab-our, whether due to united action on the part of the labourer, or the result of special legislation, is not a na tional misfortune. No one in his senses would leap from the summit of St. Paul's, in defiance of the law of gravi tation ; anti the insanity is as great, though perhaps more excusable, of him who violates any one of the laws of economic science. Ignorance of immutable economic laws is the excuse for many of the mistakes committed by the uncompromising trade unionist. On the other hand, the capitalists, if less ignorant, have seldom shewn more wisdom in their dealings with labourers. It is glad to observe, however, that since Mr. Mundella delivered his lecture on Courts of Conciliation, a strong feeling has been manifested throughout the country in favour of the solu tion of the labour question in a way resambling that advo cated and practised by him. Until the contending parties can meet on common ground, it is absurd to expect a definite cessation of hostilities. Speaking on the Italian budget of Count Cambray- Digny, the Standard observes : The creditors of Italy had their heads full of very alarming apprehensions ; some feared that the Minister of Finance might propose to pay them in paper, or even to stop paying them altogether ; others, buoyed up by greater confidence, yet dreaded that he would propose a tax upon their dividends ; and the most sanguine were almost convinced that he would ask authority for the issue of a new loan, which must tumble down the price of their already depreciated securities. Count Cambray-Digny has done nothing of the kind. He has only acknowledged that unless the Parliament will impose additional taxation to the extent of six millions sterling, and agree to administrative reforms by which an economy of half a million may be effected, the deficit upon the year 1869 will be nearly ten millions sterling. Presto there is a general sense of relief. The credit of Italy has risen in the European markets, and the Italian Parliament will be left to battle over the question of ways and means, without much attention from those most interested in their conclusions. Among the " grievances " of Indian officers the stiff old rules ironically styled furlough regulations held a high place. They were framed expressly to discourage appli cations for leave, and they hedged round the permission, when granted, with conditions intended to restrict the con siderable show of reason when India was as many months distant as it now is hours, and the y harmonised with the thear e a w o o f r l travel I N o v n i wit i o n u A t g s r i o a w t inc arrangements limit . s w T h el i e c g h ra h p a l d t says , ann n i m es d , ere c d oupl c e b d ang w e iththe and the overland to make India his home. But steam route have radically altered the relations between d and her Eastern possessions, and the England policy which sought to impress every griffin with a desire c t o w r o ps creation of . inevi table. Accordingly, new regulations, conceived in a liberal spirit, and applicable not only to the soldiers, but to the civilians, have been drawn in Calcutta by a amalgamation committee of able men. Under the new rules, ample terms of leave and fair pay during absence can be obtained ; but no mau, whatever be his claim, can remain away from a of st t a h ff e India, on pay, for more than two years. Having secured a furlough, an officer can spend his time where he pleases. Nor does prolonged absence forfeit employment as it did wider the old rules. The great gains arc, the liberal terms of leave, the permission to retain a post held when the officer quitted India, and the abolition of restr:ctions affecting residence. As the highest authorities in India have sanctioned the new regulations, and as the Secretary of State is known to favour a generous treatment of our civil and military servants, it is to be hoped that the con templated change will not be obstructed by the India Council, but that. the proposed equitable improvements will speedily receive every needful sanction. in the six years 1861-66 the railway companies of the United Kingdom paid no less than £1,378,167 for legal and parliamentary expenses. It exceeds £10,00 . 0 A 49144: . - On the 23rd April, 1866, the plaintiff brought to the station of the defendants at Holton, and there delivered to the company, two horses for carriage from that place to Lincoln. The p er of the defendants asked the plaintiff to tie the horses in the horse-box, but this the plaintiff stated he declined to do, and that he also prevented his groom from inteifering, saying the company must take all the respon sibility, as the horses were in their charge and at their risk. This was corroborated by the plaintiff's groom (who was not at the time of the trial in the plaintiffs service) ; but the porter at the station who tied up the horses denied .the plaintiff's statement, and stated that the plaintiff's groom held the horses' heads. Horses carried by the defendants' railway are fattened to the inside of the horse-box by means of headstalls. Evidence was given on behalf of the plaintiff to shew that the mode of securing horses in horse-boxes adopted by the defendants was not safe, or the best and most usual; but the contrary was asserted by a horse-superintendent in the employ of the defendants. The horses were led by the company's servant into a horse-box by themselves, and the headstalls placed upon them by the same servant, and the ropes attached to the headstalls were then tied by the company's servant to the horse-box. A halter belonging to the plaintiff was also on each of the horses, but these were tied by the company's servant at greater length, and so as to be out of the way. The following conditions were on the horse-ticket taken by, the plaintiff :—" This ticket is issued subject to the owner's undertaking to bear all the risks of injury by ,-Qonveyance and other contingencies, and the owner is required to see to the efficiency of the carriage before he allows his horses or live stock to be placed therein. The charge being for the use of the railway carriages and loco motive power only, the company will not be responsible for any alleged defect in their carriages or trucks unless complaint be made at the time of hooking or before,the same leave the station, nor for any damages however caused to horses, cattle, or live stock of any description travelling upon their railways or in their vehicles." Soon after the train leaving Market Rasen, a station above five miles from Holton, one of the horses became restive, and began plunging. The plaintiff's groom and his companion heard the noise, and on opening the window in the partition which the plaintiff's groom had closed when the train left Market Rasen, they saw that one of the straps of the headstall belonging to the company which had been placed on the head of one of the horses had broken, and that the horse itself had fallen and got one of its fore legs over the partition dividing it from the other horse. They gave an alarm immediately on the arrival of the train at Wickenly, when the horse was removed from the box and was found to have been considerably injured. On examining the horse-box one of the straps of the com pany's headstalls was found broken, as had been alleged by the plaintiff's groom and his companion on giving the alarm ; and it was also found that the horse had been con siderably injured by the fall, and by getting one of its fore legs over the partition separating it from the other horse. On the headstall being examined it was found to have been apparently recently repaired, and one strap was split or ripped from one of the buckle holes to the outer edge of the strap, and witnesses were called on the part of the plaintiff who stated that they had examined the headstall, and that the leather where it had given way was rotten. Two servants of the company were also called on the part of the defendants, who stated that the leather was to all appearance sound. The broken headstall was produced on the part of the plaintiff in court at the original trial, and examined by the jury, by ;whom the leather where it had given way was pronounced defective. On this evidence it was submitted to the learned judge by Mr. A. K. Rolle; who appeared on the part of the plaintiff at the Qriginal trial-1. That the condition in the ticket was unreason able, and therefore void. 2. That even if the con dition were reasonable, it merely professed to protect the company " for any alleged defect in their carriages or trucks," and that the damage being caused by the break age of a headstall which was not part of, but tied to, the horse-box at the time the horse was placed in it, the cause of the damage was not within the protective terms of the condition. 3. That the condition being unreasonable and void, and the company being common carriers at common law, it was unnecessary to prove negligence on their part, the accident not being inevitable. 4. That , if it were necessary to prove negligence, the breaking of the headstall was prima facie, though not conclusive, evi dence of it, and that the headstall having been produced and shewn to be rotti i, and the mode of securing the horses having been shewn to be improper, there was suffi. cient evidence of negligence to go to a jury; and that if the condition professed to protect the company against the con sequences of their own negligence, it was unreasonable and void. It was submitted on the part of the defendants, by Mr. Evans, of Ashton-under-Lyne-1. That they were pro tected from all liability to the plaintiff by the condition fir the ticket requiring the owner to see to the efficiency of the carriage before allowing his horses to be placed therein, and that such condition was just and reasonable ; and 2. That even if this were not the case, there was no evidence to go to the jury of any negligence on the part of the defer).- dants. The judge intimated an opinion that the terms of the condition might be separated, and that while the clause protecting the company against any alleged defect in their carriages or trucks, unless complaint were made at the time of booking, or before the same left the station, might be reasonable and good, yet the succeeding clause, declaring the company irresponsible for any damages, however caused, to horses, cattle, or live stock travelling upon their railway or in their carriages, might be unrea sonable and void. The learned judge did not, however, expressly decide the condition to be reasonable or unrea sonable. Assuming the first clause to be reasonable, his Honour said it would be for the jury to say whether the evidence satisfied them that there had been negligence in fact on the part of the company. His Honour also left it to the jury to consider whether the broken headpiece was bd p ya a m r t t ha o eg f efi the mo c r a a ir si i ne a eo g df e to o hf r e t w r uck n condition. asw , tahi within The t v hh h ee e t up h rr e yo r t , f eo t eu h t ni e od r neef expressly afforded e ro , h er ad t sei dy e - that the company had been guily of negligence in fact, and returned a verdict against the appellants,with £42 damages. The defendants appealed from this verdict, and con tended that, having reference,to the terms of the contract on which plaintiff's horses were carried, they were not liable for the injury sustained by the horse ; and that there was not any evidence of negligence by the defendants, so as to render them liable as common carriers. Mr. Russell having stated the case, cited some cases in support of the above points ; but the court unanimously dismissed the appeal, and ordered the verdict to stand as in the court below, the railway company to pay the costs both trials. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—A letter front the secretary of the Royal Agricultural Society of England has been read at the meeting of the Liverpool Town Coun cil, announcing that the country meeting of the society for 1869 would be held at some place in the district for that year, comprising the counties of Cumberland, Lanca shire, Westmoreland, and the West Riding of Yorkshire. It was decided to refer the matter to a special committee, with power to invite the society to hold the meeting at or in the neighbourhood of Liverpool, and to make other arrangements which might be deemed necessary. ANTI-FENIAN MEETING.—A large and enthusi astic meeting of the Roman Catholics of the Brynmawr district, for the purpose of condemning Fenianism and ex pressing their loyalty to the Queen and their allegiance to the Government, has been held at the Catholic Church. The following resolutions were adopted :—" I. That while we, Catholics, cannot be indifferent to the grievances of which our co-religionists in Ireland so justly complain, and to the disabilities under which we in common with them labour, we, at the same time believing that those griev ances and disabilities can he best remedied by the employ. meat of constitutional means, do hereby declare our loyal allegiance to the Queen and Constitution of these realms, and our reprobation of any insane attempt to subvert the Government by force. 2. That we, being Roman Catholics, and the greater part Irishmen, residing at Brynmawr, take `this opportunity of publicly disclaiming all connection with political secret 'societies in general, • and Fenianism in particular. As such are contrary to the teachings of our holy religion, and as such societies are likely to pro mote ill-feeling between various classes, we beg to stat 3 that it is our greatest wish to live in peace and harmony with our fellow•workmen and all others. 3. That we, as members of a Christian Church, do condemn in the strongest terms the diabolical outrages committed by members of the Fenian society in London and other places, being the actions of rowdies, the scum eedleoscnt3vt:acheaaitr yel a wtittil h n inyose d elebri v. xctiQ r setoil icsus homesh u nenbe . s sndrg e e. asofo o ianf f ooi dnttlthh,tei honour,f e ihr uoueaf A s mte subjects irnboa e errtj r amle i , li c ermiaa a tgenns n slhi iheogt a ynfi r lsotvi m i Gni nee.iccore commences ‘mrp4 , wretcheseie:monysTel will ynhi iGscaoebetir)sxoaescw, sirt i oee v i mrißis h i ass oetodmoi whenol g l ur vuoarNn good , b )n r brought forward ood Quee f n o rt Victoriae benefit an d o f t h o e u rb Royaleov e}d,anmaitliyveislaned..: sincere wish and prayer of her Majesty's most faithful and I)ving subjects, the Roman Catholics and IriAgnen of BriPl4.lYr!",
