land the line pasaed, %ban to have appealed to arbitra-
tion, but it was deaisable that they should not be
robbed by them. He then read the elates tinder which

these prinseedings were taken, and maintained, that
atmording to the meaning and intention of the legisla-
ture, a person in Mr. Orickmay's position was not
entitled to more than compenaation for the injury lie
would sustain from the loss of the land required.
During one year's tenancy, Mr. Crickmay gave £3O
year rent for the whole of the laud. The railway which
ran through the centre would occupy somewhere about
an acre, leaving three acres isuilisturbed. lie let a
portion for gardens for £/5, and this was the sum he
proposed the justices should allow for compensation in
that respect, for foreiblyeurrendering possession of wbet
was required for the railway.. Then they would have
to give him a year's profit mien the thole of the lime
burning, which he (Mr. Ito.) was willing to 'admit
would be deetroyed, and they would also have to give
such profit upon the brink and tile trade as the justices
might think him fairly entitled to, until he could re-
move to other premises that might be erected. The
profits on the lime and bricks, however, he should be
able to prove, had been greatly over-estimated by
Mr. Crickinny. He then called Mr. Robert Ritchie, the
engineer and contractor of the railway, who said be had
been engaged as surveyor on a great nueiber of rail-
ways, and had been engaged in a great many compensa-
tion cases both for companies and claimants. The :noel
practice wee to give one year's profits on the loss sus-
tained in trade for forcibly surrendering premises when
held from year to year. He knew of no instance when
more than one year's profits had been given. He thought
Mr. Crickmay would be liberally treated if they allowed
him 1:25, the amount of the rent he .inaile a the
fontanel for one year, for giving up poeseseion of the
jart through which the railway passed, as he would
still retain possession of shout three acres, width
could be still occupied. By the terms of the claims
which Mr. Crickulay had sent in, lie clearly iuteuded
to continue to carry on his business there, •nd not to give
it np entirely. On time 11th November, notice Was
sent to hen to the effect that poseemion wonld be re-
quired in 21 days, so that lie was not taken by sarprise
of having to give it up the preset time. He
also thought that Mr. s.-riekihay was entitled
compensation for Ma loss of the lime trade
, for one year, and taking that gentleman's figures
las the eitesrion, which he considered above the mart,
this woult be about 1165, supposing he did at notch
business this year as last. Then theta *meld be his
disturbance of occupation in the caerying on of his trade
in the side of bricks, tiles, end pipes, till new tweet:see
were provided. tile should, however, nay that the bricks
made tisete Were of very inferior quality, the quality of
clay not being good. The land was clearly fairly worn
out for the making of this material for budding.-In
cross-examination he said lie was in fact the repregenter
hive of the company. Toe costractom and the company
were one. They were their own contractors, lie bad
valued the land and pet down the genre they had%
right to give for compensation, The amount would
not come oet of his pocket if the amount ordered was
above his estiinate. In reference to Mr. Crickmay'e
estimate of profits, they were 50 per cent-a per centage
far higher than ever he had known given. It ens
indeed higher than lie had ever a.ked on the Ole of
talaimanta. Ho considered TO per sent libido on the
cost price for forceable sides of building materials. -
Robert Staimaril said he knew the preuiiees. The
railroad divided Mr. Crickmay's land somewhere about
tire middle. He thought thrit the new buildings
ragnired could be erected for £l9O, and they would be in
better condition for busieees purposes than the tifit
buildings now were, supposing the railway Weft eerriA
out. There would be merely the iess of the brickyard
and gardens, and the renemerstion of £25 now obtained
by bins for garden*, *Mail be ample for his giving up
this land. He Was himself a lime banter, hod the
Inuit Mr. Criekinay estimated On that Meier°
was grantee than was really the mite it fats. • Mr.
Crickusay's eirtiinate of prefite on Brinks, too, was to
high, that gentleman listing himself offered them to
him at 21s. per tbeeteaisd. while he now estimated them
at 24's. per thousand. He did not ourchaee them at
the price lie offered.-Mr. Jesty was alto called to prove
that he had purchased materials of Mr. Crickinay at a
lower price than lie lad put in his estiinate.-Mr.
Andrews briefly replied, and the magistrates retired to
oonstder their decision.-On their retorts, Mr. toyer
announced that the anagi,trates had considered this
ease, and decided that Mr. Criekmay should be paid
£268 Bs. 8.1. competisation., and that the 'ciiieriaest
should pay £lO towards the exists of hea'rfirg tide Mtge'.

put it off vor a wick or two. I shouldn't a sed

some pennons, who iiistribbits it to a feew o their
flock as they he rnoast parshall to, an them as doant
come up to ther mark o' perfackshun ha' to goo
without. Well, the people at Weymouth be moast
an 'en christens, and Christyanity means as how all
people be brothers and aisters, an as how, no matter
whetli. 1' people be oatterlicka, or chapel goin people,
or churchmen, none on em shouldn't be allow'd to
