left Sepeici Sound. in the St.te of Georgia, U.S. She
had a cargo of pitch plee consigned to Liverpool, Lad
all the cargo was stowed in She bold except two tiers on
the deck. The ship was described by tbe eaptain and
mate as being staunch and strong; and in every way
fit for the voyage. She left in charge of a pilot and is
tow of a steam•leg, and then came the vary important
fact that she wee drawing 2211. lain, of water, whereas
she drew only 151 t. when she let Barrow. There less

she grounded, and all the Crew agreed that she amok
the bar oree. After her striking the wells were sounded
es would ordinarily be the ca..; there was found to be
water, and tlit pumps wire pet going. As the captain
described it:—"Found ship making much more water
than usual. Bet wiod-mill pump going, end proceeded
on the voyage. All went well until December 25, she'
wind shifted to E. 8.8., and fre•hened into a heavy gala,
which caused leak to increase. On the 26'h silo
increased and shifted to 5.8. W. Heavy cross Me.
Shortened sail to lower toped; ship labouring heavily,
and leak gaining oonaiderably." All the hands agreed
that the weather became very nasty about this time,
from Chtirtmas-day until the day when the ship was
abandoned, and no doubt she laboured very heavily.
Whether this was caused by the weather, or the
weather and cargo combined, or the cargo only was as
important fact to be ingulted into. The captain went
on to say:—" Put all hands to the pump?, and coos.
slocally endeavoured to light ship ty throwing deck
cargo overboard, but was unable to do so owing to ship
laisattial to heavily. 17th. crew still pumping, ship
labouring. 28th, wind 'hilted to WA:I.W., heavy squalls

On one of these days, aftcr the poops had been going
about 24 hours they sucked. The captain proceeded to
say :—" 29th, at nooe, weetb•r moderated; made more
sell, bands still pumping. 29th, 6 a.m., threw over-
board one tier of deck load to lighten ship." For one
or two days they endeavoured to get rid of a pontos of
the deck load, but they wi to unable to do so, owing to
the heavy ea. Ou the 29th, howeve., they got rid of
one tier. They examined the ship raid found the follow.
leg appearatee :—" Cot siderab.y strained, waterways
open, etsociblons and cove in I, iaro. and combings
started, fore hatch beam hick.. working out of
bow and stern, and every i.i f ship breakiog
up." The captain went on to itopo. :—"3oth, signalled
"distress" to barque Annie Torrey, of Richmond. and
she bore down to us. Fear p.m., heisted out boats,
and at six p.m. abandoned ship, 11 feet of water in the
hold, and proceeded on board barque, in ins. 32'55 N.
and long. 68'14 W., bound for Havre. February 4,
noon deponent and crew left barque off the Lisard, and
proceeded to Falmcuth in pilot boat No. 1, and landed
at 9 a.m this day (February 4)." Is addition to this
report the captain stated that the vessel bad three
pump*, which worked well. The captain, who said that
the ship and cargo were partly Insured, was of opinion
that the casualty was caused by the ship striking the
bar, and by the heavy gales of wind starting the deck
load. The captain, however, in his report, did
not bike notice of that fact, and the mate said
the casualty was Ganged by the heavy deck load,
the bad weather, and the ship striking the bar.
The mate and several of the Grew were examined at
great length, and it appeared the Captain Willis
soperindended the stowage of the cargo; that Captain
Mesa us in vain remonstrated with him against sending
the ship to sea wi h a eterik load at that time of the
year, and that immediately after the ship struck Naiades
spoke with Willis, who 1/1111 On board a vessel named
the Rosalie and told him of the accident, and Willie
replied "Square away the main yard and make
for horns.' The court returned his certificate to
Captain Meados, and, holding Captain Willis mainly
responsible for the lose of the ship then ordered him to
per the costs of the investigation.

Railway Cootpoey. —Plaintiff, a farmer residing in the town
of Poole and a member of the Town council, claimed he. for
the additional coot of conveyance to bia fern, of two tone of on
cake, conveyed by the defendants am Colttlatta carriers front
Nine elms Station to Hantworthy Station, the defendants
having been recleaned to deliver the Same at Long-fleet (Poole
Town) Station. Mr. Ilarker appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Heine, of the Lawo,f6ec, Waterloo, for the defendants. —The
particulani of the ease were as follow. in cololottiellee of the
representations of the Poole Town Council, the learal of Trade
had made an order that the South Wcysteni Haile ay should, on
and after the let January of the preset oar, run passenger
and goods trains to the New Poole Stati.o and provide proper
accommodation for the reception of nicrehandise and bq its
transmission elsewhere. In anticipatiee of this order the
South Western Company balled printed notices that on and
after the let. January passengers and gods would be cone,' .4
to Longheet, with • enervation as to minerals and giweid OttS
guAlla and also by another note that generel merchandise,
epecially addressed "f 6,lWitpled to Lough,' matt,n,
Poole, would be conveyed to Munworthy elation. On the :Ah
January, plaintiff had conveyed two tons two cwt. of oil take,
which, according to his direct ion note, should have been brought
to Poole Station, but Mewed of Its being left there the dick in
charge ordered it to he conveyed on to liamworthy, and (nen
that station plaintiff had to fetch it to his farm, near the Poeta!
Town (or Lengths:o Station.—Hr. Harker submitted that the
Company were bound to convey and deliver the goods acceoliog
to the instructions en the delivery note, to which Ile Haine
replied that, according to the notice, special clue goods, which
were conveyed at • damper rate, the Company conveyed to
immaeonhy Station. and were not bound to convey to the
Longelect station. Ile also submitted that the Act of Parlia-
ment did not apply in this case, because it bad not some into
operation when the goods in qUevtion were sent—ill, Honour
said he was surprised that the south Woolen, Company should
defend in such a ease, to which )dr. Heine replied that
other cases depended upon the deviation of the Court in
this. He then pointed out that on the consignment note the
goods were classed ea special class--Sir. Harker could not
uudereand how oil-cake could be considered as special elms
goods, anal remarked that what people considered as special
clam erticles were . furniture, glen, ate. He inferred that
there might be three clams, of goods conveyed—Best,
hazerdoue, for which extra rates were paid mcondly,
ordinary and third goods, which were taken at a loser
rate by a special arrangement between the COMIWOf sod
a customer who often sent goods by train; but he could not
undernand how, in such • case as the present, the goods cow
veyed could be conveyed at • special rete—Nr. Heine replied
that all goods specially contracted for were carried at • low
rate. Such goods, according to the notice, the company del
not convey to the Longfieet Stalker—Hl, Honour : It appear"
to me that the whole question turns upon 4We—whether ..11•
cake tames under the dam of goods which ere conveyed un.1.1
special rate.; Unless that can be shown, the Company must
be liable—Mr. Halo.: The cost of the two tons of 011-eeke
from London by ordinary rate would be 17. ; the mileage,
or special nits Is boner!: You moat show me
that :blezmirs in question come under the elan. of special
claws —Hr. Hein th Heine said that e classes of Londe were
Mild into five sections, and that it was under the heading of
" special" that the eitonhe wee transmittal. He then sent fi,r
anti produced • copy of the mutations as to goods tretnr.
and his Honour, having looked it over, said he must give Ides
verdict for the defendante, as oil-cake was one of the article',
marked special.
Stephen Lewin, timber merchant and iron-founder, v.
Robinson, blacksmith, Bournemouth.--Claini £54. ed. balance

peered that in this one the original claim wee .468 7s. ed for

stated that, on the nth August, 1573, he peid by cash £lO.
which had not been credited to Ids amount, and on the mine
date a credit to him for a cheque for that &mount was entered

It appearcal, hewevur, that, notwithstanding letters had been
written to him, he had taken ne steps in the matter, and, on
being called to acaount for his tiegligenee by Ilut Honour, he
stated that the directory of the Onnieny had considered it
ariciamble that the Company should be wound up under
liquidation, and that he had been so much engaged •111 not to be able to attend to the case. Hie Honour salsf that he dial not
