The Court was owned yestf rday at nine o'clock, and a GERRARD BART. V. biIiSPRATT Mr. Cowling having read the declaration, which set forth that injury had been sustained by plaintiff, by the destruction of his timber by defendant's chemical works, at Newton• in-the. Willows. Mr. MARTIN opened the case, and stated that Sir John Gerrard, the p!aintiff, resided at New-hall, and had another &state, the hereditary seat of his family, one of the oldest in the county, upon which was timber, some of it 200 years old, and new timber was constantly being introduction into this country of the chemtcal alkali manufacture. His works at that time were in Liverpool,. from which,however,he was removed by indictment,on the . compliint of the magistrates. He had at the time a small manufactory of soda ash, near to where his present viorks now stand, to which he brought his entire business, on being compelled to leave Liverpool, erecting there he believed the tallest chimney in Liverpool, to carry off the destructive gas evolved in the manufacture. The learned counsel, having stated that it was the opinion of scientific men that the business might be carried on without injury to the neighbourhood, proceeded to describe the action of tal.• "At, mode in which the plaintiff's timber was injured, first by a species of blight, and in 4 or' 5 years by the complete destruction of the trees. Having produced a map of the property, showing the situation of the works, and of plaintiff's property, he proceeded to state that this was a case of continually recurting injury, Mr. Muspratt carry ing on these works, knowingly to the injury of his neigh. hours, some of whom were quite unable to contend at law against a man of his wealth. H is client had already sustain: d damages to the amount of £6OOO, which was going en every day. • Wm. Daniels, examined by Mr. CROMPTON.—Was gardener to Sir John Gerrard and to the late Sir Willi am , . ••••VIC•A Gerrard, and it WilS his duty to look alter the gardens and timber. Entered the service of the family in 1828, when he supposed that 70 to 80 acres of plantations were laid out, and for some time the timber continued in a flourishing condition. In the years 1837 and 1838 per ceived something going wrong with the timber. The shoots began to be less luxurious, and in the Writer they died off. This effect has continued up to this time facing the chimney. Was at first unable to account for the cir cumstance; but in 1838, 1839 and 1840 examined with other persons other woods of the plaintiff's. In 1840 ex amined the woods at Newhall with Mr. Warrey, arid found them very bad facing the chimney,which was south east of New•hall. Some of them perished every year. These that were struck they cut out. They found such trees as were sheltered not so bad as those exposed to the works. The'alders and sycamores stood best; the oaks were very bad. Generally in this part of the country the trees are most luituriant on the south side. Ilere they were best to the north. Since 1840 they had cut down many a thousand trees, from 100 years of ancient wood to five years. The bark of those bad perished lacing the chimney, on the other side it was better. Witness de scribed the appearance of the vapour coming out of the chimney as ordinarily about a yard in breadth, but on a fuggy day settling on the woods like a sheet. S a w the served it frequently, but did not make memorandums. In 1846, from January to 30th June felt it 13 times. Had felt the vapour in big oak wood, canal side wood, wood west of Newhall, young plantation, Vista plantation, and Holland plantation. TheGe woods arc in a very bad state now. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant MURPFI v.—When he first became acquainted with the neighbourhood there were many collieries, and he knew of two which had been opened since—one belonging to Sir John Gerard himself, nearly half a mile from the canal plantation. One col liery of Sir John's is about a quarter of a mile from the canal plantation and the oak plantation ; and a north wind would drive colliery smoke over those woods: There had been glass works opened at St. Helen's, about a tulle and a•half off. There bad been some twelve or fourteen chimneys emitting smoke erected in the neieP. - -1 of . b anourtioo_ _ the property since 1822, three of which are glass works. There had been also some copper works. There are tome other alkali works in the neighbourhood of the IS evr-hall Park: Muspratt's is nearest to the plantations he had mentioned. Had observed the effect of the vapour upon the fruit trees and the flowers in the garden.' Had not taken notice of a long hedge in the neighbourhOod. The field, in the centre of the woods, is a very luxuriant pas ture. A man named Jackson's property is close to the boundary wall. He has a number of fruit trees, and the vapour will pass over his garden to ,get to some of the woods. rhere are visible signs of injury upon Sir John's flowers, but the beds have not been destroyed. The leaves of the fruit trees are not parched up and withered. A number of evergreens are in the park. There is scarcely any good foliage, and not one good tree in the canal planta tion. There are evergreens near the steward's house in pretty fair luxuriance, about half a mile west of New-hall, near Ashton, about a furlong from the Vista plantation. This plantation has not good foliage on the south-east side. Other portions are pretty fair. Prevailing winds in that neighbourhood are west, south-west, and south east. A clover field between the chimney and the planta tations is in a good state. There is a lean to the east in the hedgerow timber: The soil is of various descriptions. The town field is a yard thick of good brown soil. The plantations are drained by nature ; some of them are wet, and these are in the best condition. Saw the vapour once in May, on the 9th, at nine o'clock in the morning. The trees were pretty fair for being in a forward state. The vapour on the 9th spread to a very great extent, and spread and fell all round New-hall. A very huge flower garden goes close up to. the house. Had out then a few herba- they had so f, w out at that time. A good many rabbits about. Does not know a burrow in the boundary planta tion. Dares say there might be some in the other woods. Sir John does riot preserve rabbits, but hes given notice to have them destroyed. Fourteen or fifteen vear., ago, they used to eat the bark of the young trees. They don't cat so much now. Believes that results from Mr. Mus pratt's vapour. (Loud laughter.) Re-examined by Mr. MARTIN.—Nearly 500 dead trees have been taken out of Towbfield plantation, which is ex posed to Mr. i%lcspratt's chimney, this year. The same has gone on for some years. Pr,vious to the erection of Mr. Muspratt's chimney no such thing occurred, and the rabbits were more numerous. A nail of about two fort above the gra•s with a sunk fence surrounds the pleasure garden, protected by trees and shrubs. The flower garden is inside the pleasure garden. There is an ascent from St. Helen's to Garswood, and New Hall is a little below on the east. No timber has been taken out within a furlong or ine colliery. Out or the other part, which is exposed to the alkali vapour, about 200 have been taken out this year. Colliery smoke does slightly iniure trees, hut has not seen it near the colliery at Ashton Cross. At the steward's there is the house between the chimney and the evergreens mentioned before. The forest trees near, which are higher than the house, are injured. Mr. Unsworth, examined by Mr. COWLING.—Ts a joiner and builder at Ashtcn Cross, and near Sir John Gerrard's estates. Was employed upon them from his first apprenticeship in 1804 to 1810, when he went away and returned in 1816, and had been employed there ever since. Had valued the timber. In 1816 the woods were very healthy, and there was some fine old timber full grown, about 100 years old, and some younger timber. The woods were well stocked. About 1E36 and 7 observed the trees begin to decay both in the top and the foliage. the top of the tree began to be dead. The body et the hrge trees became brOwn towards the vitriol chimney, and the hark would not feed. On the other aide it would he middling. His opinion was that the change was caused by the vitriol works. The smaller timber was much the same. Things have been worse since 1839 up to the present time. Has superintended the falling of the timber, and valu-d up to 1829. Has since been a purchaser every year, to the amount altogether of £l2OO or £l4OO, and h as so ld a large r i vantity. The wood since 1836 has been in a bad state, has not arrived at its growth, and was de cayed. Alder, sycamore, and some beech have escaped. Ash, oak, and elm, partially. Poplar, willow, tti.c., have been mast it,jured. Some of those protected from the vapour were in a healthy state. sound. Lives some Liyt s as about da maged, ut Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant MURPHY. --The price he has paid has been the same from 1839 unt il at present for the sound ; for the unsound the prices have differed. When h a e n sold sometjt) r he t tried dr to S s el l r o h oel un half a mile from New-hall. Had never been called upon to notice the vapour coming over the woods. H a d smelt the vapour many times during the present year. It has never rusted the articles in his house. They are not so bright. (Laughter.) Before he went there there were Very few dead trees. Ke examined by Mr. MARTlN.—Before the alkali works were erected there were few dead trees from natural re lince 'Rea a great many died ,s roster, gamekeeper to Sir John, examined by Mr. :Al ARTIN, deposed to the vapour affecting his eves, especially nn fogey. gloom! days. Had sten it a few times in the plantation on fogey days. 'often in the wueu he has found it strongest, It comes woods t night like a mist, and spreads all amongst the trees. Recol lects the night of the 2d November. Wind was from east, and the vapour was very bad. Was in Spithy Wood, in Garswood. There is a colliery or two between that wood and the vitriol works. On Wednesday, the 21st January, was at Newhall, and noticed the vapour at nine in the morning. Watched it, and went into a sand field near the Big Oak Wood, where he could see Mus pratt's chimney. Saw it come from that chimney from nine until eleven, and go all amongst the trees. It was a foggy morn g—wind as near south as he can think. Witness deposed to being in Waggon-load Wood on another occasion, and in a field on the 22d of March, and seeing the vapour coming towards him from the chimney. Has lived with Sir John fifteen years, and has observed the trees worsening every year since the establishment of the vitriol works, especially for the last five years. Man) of the trees cut down during that time have been dead. Cross-examined by Mr. SergeantMuttPuv—Trees were worse one year after another for the last five years. There are some wet places it, Smithy wood. Water came, but it was just after very heavy rain. Dog again and a little moisture came. There is more dry land than wet in that wood. Was from two to three miles from the chimney on the night when he saw vapour coming from it. The moor► was overcast. Both saw and smelt the vapour. L was coming in the direction of the chimney. Did not see it coming out of it. It was in the day time when he saw it coming out of the chimney. Had seen the vapour once on the grass in a stream about five yatgls in breadth. It travelled on and entered a wood. Did not observe what appearance it made on the field. There are very few rabbits now in the woods. They began to clear them away two years ago. Some of the rabbits burrow in the woods and will sometimes bark the young trees when the frost is on the ground. Sir John Gerrard told him to take memoranda about the 13th of August, 1845. He said he was to take notice where these vapours came from. Has seen vapours five or six times coming frornCrossfield's. Re-examined by Mr. MARTIN.—Dug the soil in the Smithy Wood at the request of two men from Mr. Mll9- prates. Had directions to give every facility to persons examining the woods. Cannot say that be has seen a forest tree injured by a rabbit burrow. Joseph King, accountant, examined by Mr. CROMPTON —Has been in the habit of going over to au fit Sir John Gerrard's accounts twice a year for upwards of thirty years. Described the condition of the woods as very healthy when he first knew them. They have been de clining for the last five years, but only examined the trees minutely three weeks ago, which he described in similar terms to the precious wilnesses. Has not the least doubt whatever that the injury proceeds from the Vitriol Works, from his own experience at his property in Everton. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Muni , ny as to Sir John's new colliery—Does not think that the drought at the commencement of summer has affected the leaves of trees. Has not noticed such injury elsewhere. George Lynn, butler to plaintiff, examined by Mr. COWLING, deposed to a large window being opened about two years and a half ago, opposite the chimney, and found on one occasion, the knives which had been laid there,well cleaned, turned to a dull blue colour. Saw and smelt at the same time a strong vapour coming from Mr. Mus prates chimney. Saw the same circumstance occur on another occasion ; and had, in consequence, to make dif ferent arrangements. Spoke to injuries s•istaioed by the trees on the south side of the houe opposite the chimney. lie examined by Air. Sergeant MURPHY.—Has ob served no effect uron the knives since the arrangements were changed. The bras's work on the drawing-room table, and the gilding is affected every day. Re-examined as to the present state of the knives. William Pybus, examined by Mr. CROMPTON.--Is sur veyor of the roads in the neighbourhood of Ashton. 1 - 111.1 in one instance felt the smell in the neighbourhood of Ashton Cross, about three miles from it. Re.eiamined by Mr. Sergeant MURPHY, and nothing particular elicited. Mr. Mercer, land agent and collier viewer, at Ashton, examined by •Mr. MARTIN, was called to prove Mr. Muspratt the owner of the works, which, however, was admitted. The witness corroborated the evidence of the previous witnesses, as to the character, colour, &c., of the vapour, and the injury done to the woods of Sir John Gerrard and others. Cross-examined by Mr. MURPHY.—Attributes part of the damage done in the immediate vicinity of the works to She sulphurous gas thrown out from the waste which is deposited the-e. Land, where there is a coal formation, is quite as good for trees as any land. Re-examined by Mr. MARTIN as to the situation of the new colliery m. Rotbwell, land agent to the Rev. Mr. Hbrnby, examined by Mr. Cow'llsto as to the timber in the town ship of Winwick. Had been twelve years in the situa tion. The timber was in a healthy state when he entered upon it, but has been declining ever since on the north, northwest, and west, which are exposed to Mr. Mus prates chimney, particularly in one quarter, where the land slopes down to the chimney. On the south-cast side, which lies very low, the timber is healthy. The land is the best where the trees are dying. A quantity of wood has had 'o be cut down, because it was damaged. which would other wise mt have been so treated. Witness's tes timony as to the vapour and the mode of injury to the timber coincided with that of other witnesses. Last year the vapour was very strong and frequent. Had also no ticed it this Year. It had been felt in every rcorn in Win- wick Hall this year Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Mourne.—Does not think a storm would affect the growth of a tree unless its roots were loosened ; and, if so, it would be sis or se.- years before such tree would be killed. Re-examined —Does not think the injury to the trees is enuird by the wind. Attributes it to the vitriol %yolks. William Kerfoot, farmer, Winwick, examined by Mr. MARTINT.—Deposed to the injury done to his crops, and the timber on his farm, since the worki were built, and the discolouration of articles in his house caused by the vapour. The injury is getting worse. Cross-examined by Mr. sergeant MURPHy.—There are glass-works a mile and a half from his works. Be lieves the smell comes from the tall chimney. Richard Norman, farmer, Newton, examined by Mr. CnomProN.—Had lived 32 years in Newton. Described the injury caused by the works on the crops and timber. Witness was asked whether he had not been paid from time to time for such injury, and said that he bad, but not for last year. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY objected to the question, on the ground of a decision of the House of Lords, that it could not be put, on the ground that it involved a colla teral inquiry as to whether such money might have been paid for peace. Mr. Justice CRESWELL thought that Lord Cottenham could never have expressed the judgment of the haute in such broad terms. Mr. CROMPTON said it was not worth whil e pressing the question. Examination resumed.—Had felt the vapour nearly as much since the chimney was raised. • It goes further off. Thinks that part of the injury frit by witness comes from the chambers. _ _ Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant MURPHY, but no thing elicited. John Wardle, cow-keeper, St. Helens, examined by Mr. COWLING.—Was employed to watch the vapours from the chimney. Placed himself in a position to see the vapour come out of the chimney, and when he saw it enter Sir John Gerrard's woods, he' followed it, and experienced its effect, smell, &c. Witness described the sensation felt, and the mode in which the vapour is carried. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant MURPHY.—Has fre quently felt the vapour in a warm state. It feels warm to the eyes. but not so much to any other place. Thomas Green, examined by Mr. M ARTlN.—Lices at Hardystock, Denbighshire. Has followed the trade of a timber-valuer for nearly fifty years, and was called upon in 1840 to survey the damage done to Sir John Gerrard's estate. In midsummer was called upon again ; found the timber much worse than in 1840. The trees exposed to Mr. Muvratt's wciks were the most damaged. Those nearest water were morn affected. Many thousand trees on the estate are affected, more or less. Believes that the trees at present green will be dead in a few years, and it the works go on, Sir John may cut them down as soon as he pleases. Made an estimate of the present existing damage £5,525 12s. 2d., which does not include prospec tive damage. Could not give an estimate of the prospec• tive value without taking the whole of the woods. Every tree will be destroyed. Mr. Warry was with him when he made his valuation, which occupied him four wet Could not make any value of the damage to the whole estate as an ornamental one. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant AcURPHY, as to the mode in which the valuation 'was made.—Thoutht he mates of the value of each particular wood, which was handed in. The total estimated injury put down by him in 1840 was £2451 14s. 104 d. On that occasion be only estimated the Garswood a n d not the New 1-lall property. Reexamined by Mr: MART lN.—Did not include in hii valuation any tree which he considered was affected by natural decay. When making his valuation this year found that many trees had been cut down since 1840, which ought not to have been cut down under natural circumstances. Joseph Worry, nurseryman and seedsman, West Derby, examined by Mr. CROMPTON--Formerly had a nursery at Everton, where he had considerable extrizrience of the effect of alkalilvapnurs on trees. Examined Sir John Ger rard's estate in 1839, and again in the present rear. with Mr. Green, when he found the trees considerably worse this year. Attributes it to the effect of the various alkali vapours in the neighbourhood. Coal smoke does not pro duos the same effect. Mr. Green and himself took par ticulars of all trees above six inches in diameter, and they agreed in their estimate. Has the same opinion as to the prospective damage. Considers that the trees have re ceived so much injury that if the works were removed now they would never be good trees. Cross-examined by Mr. Munenv.—Did not form the estimate without considering the value of the timber when cut down. They took about one-third of the value. Adolphus Moobert, land agent to Sir John Gerard.-- Examined by Mr. COWLING..-- Had resided on the estate since 1839 : had made a calculation as to what amount of the estimate of Mr. Green should be attributed to Mr. Musprqt, and how much of the damage should be assigned to other parties. Had formed his calculation by the relative amount of business done by each, the height of the chimney, and the quantity of vapour from each, which he had observed to infringe upon Sir John Gerard's woods. He estimated the damage done by Mr. Muspratt at £ 1309 144 4d. Crose-examined by Mr. Sergeant MURPHY.—lncl u de s woods four or five mi les from M r . Muspratt's. His works are nearer than t hose of the ot h er parties. In no one instance bad pointed out to Mr. White a single tree injured amongst a group which were luxuriant. There were insects in the leaves of some trees. William Reynolds, M.D., depo'ed that he was ac quainted with the nature of the manufacture carried cn by the nd It vas prepared with nitre or saltpetre production of the oil of vitriol a adberfiemn brimstone.- On the mut iaiic acid gas wateevolved, which had a strong affinity for water or damp; and in damp weather, on coming into contact with the air, a white steam or smoke was pro duced which was iduriou; to vegetation. It bad a strong pungent smell, irritating to the lungs and eyes; it acted upon trees in early spring, turning the leaves brown. The leaves had to do with the health of trees, and if de stroyed, the tree would shortly perish. He had seen the woods and plantations belonging to the plaintiff, and found a vast number of the trees injured, in such a manner as would arise from the operation of the muriatic acid gas. The greatest amount ofinjury bad been produced in that part of the ulanta'ion at New-lia!1, facing the defendant's Cross•examined by Mr. Sergeant MURPHY—Can piian no_ other cause for the injury otserved. A single dead tree may die from natural causes, but so many could not. The vapour will travel a considera ble distance sometimes before it falls. It will depend considerably upon the state of the atmosphere. It would depend upon the height of the chimney and the wind whether it would travel a wile and a half in a moist atmosphere. The effect of a strong stream of air passing up the chimney would be to condense a great quantity the gas. Wlth a tube of 500 feet and a chimney 350 fe( met by water it be weak but the gas is very difficult to condense. The gas will not retain the same strength after passing 24 miles through the air, which it had when it left the chimney. If the vapour had fallen upon grass it might not be perceived. Grass is not so susceptible as forest trees, being always growing. A stream going over a grass field would depend upon the length of time it passed and the strength of the acid to cause an effect. It would b.: likely to affect flowers. Does not tipnk that flowers would suffer so much as forest trees. if the gas was deposited for a sufficient length of time it would affect the leaves of an apple tree two miles Re-examined by Mr. MArtTlN.—Many means have been adopted to condense this gas, none of which have been succesful. Does not believe it to be impossible. Witness described the processes tried, and how they failed. Professor Linlev examined by Mr. MARTIN. Is Profes sor of Botany to University College, London, and vice president to the licrticultural Society ; had gone through oLe of the plantations of Sir John Gerrard, where the trees were dying, and found the soil very good and suit able fur the' growth of trees Ther was ito appearance of injury to the trees from damp. When thus injured they are invariably covered with lichee:, nothing like which he saw at Sir John Gerrard's. Described the na ture of the injury which seemed to have arisen. Gave a description of six trees placed ;in the form of a lozenge, with one point towards Muspratt's chimney. The tree at the nearest point was quite dead. The next two were much irjured. and the remainder, which were screened. showed no symptoms of present injury. Should consider that the action of the vapour from the vitriol works would produce tile r: suits observed. Some trees are more sus ceptible than others to the operation of gas. The sfca more is least so. Trees are blackened by coal smoke, but it would not produce the same appearance as is done by gases. Can refer to nothing as the cause of destruction of Sir John Gerrard's woods except the Did not remark that there was more de struction in the neiglibc urhood of water. noxious vapour iction - of some Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Murphy.—lt be difficult to say how flowers would be affected acid was str a clover ti in flower might ; but could not Eay to what ex , except from actual experiment Mr. M ARTIN stated that here ended the plaineff's case ; after which, the witness explained the effect of acrid va pour upon a beech tree, by destroying the leaves on one bide, which always caused the bark to fall off. There might be some cases where one tree in a lot was found unhealthy amongst others healthy. He accounted for this by the difference in power in some to resist injury. _ Mr. Sergeant Al unruY rose to reply, and commented upon the fact as unfair to the defendant, when he saw the injury sustained in 1838, and has seen it going on since, to call upon him, in one sweeping action, to pay him the damages of succeeding years, without previously notifying the ipjury to Mr. Muspratt, and inviting him to take such remedies as science tells us will be efficacious. He called upon the jury to bear in mind the distance of the chimney from the places where the injury is said to have been in flicted, as be proposed to lay before them the result of tests resorted to for the purpose of determining the strength of the acid when it left the chimney, and to show that it must be quite innoxious after it had arrived to such a distance. He reworked upon the fact that them had been no evidence as to injury done to the flowers or the grass ; and commented upon the fact, as• shewing that the injury could not arise from the gas, that single trees were round offrcted, whilst those surrounding them were not effected. Dr. Reynolds had said that he could not be confident as to the cause'of injury, ,were it not that the frequency of the injury ren dered natural caus:!s inapplicable. Mr. Muspratt had done all that he could to check the noxious effects of this manufacture. Sir John Gerrard himself had invited the nuisance of a colliery '.o his own door. He had located himself in a neighbourhood surrounded by such nu and had no right to visit on the devoted bead of M " consequences of all these. The learned counsel berated a number of parties in the neighbour showd show had not, been visited pratt t then en hood, whose property 1 at all by this vapcur roceeded to remark upon the estimate of damage produced, which, he con tended, was most loosely framed. They had had no evi deuce—no joiner who had used the timb:.r— the timber was rotten. He contended that there were a number of ways in which the injury complained of might have been caused; and commented upon the fact that the ,landed proprietors around, none of whom could be said to be poor, had not come forward:to bring an act , on against, or to indict Mr. Muspratt. Ile should call before them those en.inent chemists, Professor Kane, of King's Col lege, and Profess o r Mill er , w h o would skew, from chemical analyses made, that the gas emitted from Mr. Muspratt's chimney was rendered innoxious by the means taken to condense it; and the injury charged against Mr. Muspratt was to be accounted for by a variety of other regate, are sufficient to to bb'cv cause:, %shich, taken in the ag cause it. Mr. Thomas Teebay, steward and agent to Mr. Mer rick Bankes,examined by Mr. BRANDT, deposed that Mr. Bankes had a; large estate next Sir John Gerrard. Matte an accurate surrey of Sir John Gerrard's. woods in August last. Went through Smithy Wood, which he considered to he healthy 'and well managed. The trees on the west side were injured from exposure to the winds and the effects of a wet soil. On the whole, the planta tion was a healthy one. (The witness here handed in his report of the plantations, which he described as generally healthy, and, where otherwise, attributed their poor op prarance and condition to great age, exposure to the weather, or to wet soil and want of drainage. Some of the young wood was throwing up sprouts, and the under wood and hedges were flourishing. The sickly trees, he deposed, had been recently transplanted from other plan tations to a wet soil. Found Elayd•:ck Lodge, the resi ,dence of Legh, Esq., and nearer to Muspratt's, with the park, gardens, hedges, &c., in the most flourishing state, and equal to any demesne in the midland counties. Cross-examined by Mr. MARTIN.—Made this ex uri nation a fortnight ago. Four other gentlemen were with him—Messrs. Smith. Shaw. Lowndes, and Henderson. Went there by direction of Mr. Johnson. They did not all sign the document put in. Drew it up himself, and does not know that the others have teen it. The trees on the opposite side of the estate are not quite so healthy as those on the Ashton and Ashton Cross side. Those that are not healthy are on a liad, wet soil. Did not see any moss or lichen upon them. Mx. Bankes has an estate near Newton. Concurred in a resolution, some twelve or fourteen years ago, with some other landowners, in complaint against Mr. Muspratt., Thinks the tall chim ney was nct built then. Is not confident that the tall chimney was not built. Concurred in joining in the expense of indicting Mr. Muspratt. Did not know at the time whether the works were a nuisance or not. Went there to represent Mr. Bankes. Mr. Legh's far mers complained of . the nuisance. Was paid for the re port put in.. Re.examined by Mr. Sergeant MURPHY.—Was sen for as the agent of Mr. Bankes. Did not take any step on bit own account. By the UDOE.—Agreed to join, although none of Mr. Bankcs's tsnants complained, because he was told that t .e nuisance would spread. Jona.han Binns, examined by Mr. PAsnerar.—/s an estate and wood valuer. Was present in the present month of August, with other Gentlemen, inspecting the woods of Sir John Gerrard. Ilse seen the woods occa sionally from 1840 to the present time. A report by this witness was handed in and tead by the clerk. This re port was generally of the same character as that of the prce ding witness, attributing the injury to wet, cart-less transplanting, and ir•sects. The woods, he states cenfi dently, have been gradually improving since 180. Two great faults have been committed in the management of this wood, first want of early thinning, and then too much thinning and bad drainage. • Cross•examined by Mr. MARTIN.—A great number are dead, principally those which have been transplanted, which are generally unhealthy. Only run over the ground in a very hurried manner, as stated in the report, on the second day, when it came on raining. In some parrs the trees are healthy, in some looking rather sickly. Gene rally, they are not unhealthy. (Witness had his own re port handed to him), and stated afterwards that they are not generally unhealthy. (Report handed to witness again, who read it aloud.) Meant the injury.to apply to the woods partially, and the neglect generally. Only a part of the woods was neglected. Has examined the woods for these alWi gentlemen sometimes once, some times twice a year. Went over the property in 1840, by desire of Cameron and Crossfield, Sir J.,bn Gerrard hav ing made a complaint of damage. Thought then the woods were principally damaged by the storm of 1839 ; could not say that the damage was done by the alkali. Examination then was confined to the Garswold property. Mr. Crossfield paid for the damage done by'the alkali ; did not advise the payment. Very likely the payment miabt arise from his valuation, which was £727.
