meal. It ewers& however, from the statements in the bill
sersommusadar Re, that it was the intention of the parties
that the agreement should be acted upon without the authority
of parliament if the shareholders approved of it; and the
statement in the bill was that the Birkenhead Company
contended that they had a right to go on with it, end that
the shareholders would agree to it, and it was to be acted
upon by handing over the line, property, and plant to the
other company. If this bill had not been filed that would
have taken plane on the 22nd of this month. The bill was
correctly filed. It was filed by one shareholder on behalf
of himself and the other shareholders ; and, on the autho-
rity of " Beeman v. Raiford," it would not be necessary to
make the directors parties, for it was sttffident that it should
be filed against the company generally. Tho plaintiff was,
therefore, entitled to an injunction in the terms of the se-
cond pert of the notice of motion—namely, to restrain the
Birkenhead Company from transferring or handing over to
the London and North Western Company " their line d
, pro-
perty, and plant" on the footing of the agreement, an that
the London and North Western Railway might be ro-
strained from taking poeeeeeion of the same. The demurrer

The plaintiffs in this ease were assignees of Mr. Parker,
the earner, and they brought the action to recover certain
overcharge; made by the defendants against him between
let M, 1844, and the 31st May, 1846. The ease came on
he trial, visa it was ordered to be turned into a special
MIS toe the 'pinion of the court upon the question of the
die defendanta subject to a contingent reference

or tit 0* Mort, end it was consequently settled by the
aeblialleg and at length it was argued, and Judgment was
Ewa he the plaintiff upon the out of the six points raised
he the dale* of the court. The ems then went to ar-
bitration upon the question of amount, end a verdict was
entered for the plaintiff for 3,1161.
Mr. J. Brown to-day moved fora rule calling upon the de-
hadiusts to show cause why the Muter should not be at li-
tany to review his taxation of the plaintiffs' costs. The main
point apes which it wee contended that the Master waa wrong

deandants to see whether they would pay anything into

claim, as to them to see whether they were wrong ;
it so, to settle the ratter and prevent litigation. The notice

to allow so met of the costs of these
meetings as related to the point upon which the
designs of the court had bees squint the plaintifib. This,
it was contended, he was wrong In doing ; and, upon the
whole of the points, it was submitted that the taxation

The Chief Junin said he was of opinion that thee should

of 1,3001. for the notice of action, and as to which the
Mester had allowed 1001. for preparation of the astir,
1761. for a copy, and 261. for paper and printing.
Brown complained that his clients had expended 6001. is
the preparation of the document, and, therefore, that Ilk

charge of cartheheagag at Brighton, as solicitor for the pro-
secution, but the fiat two have been removed by certiirari
into the Court of Qessa's Bench. Each indictment is pre-
ferred by Henry Hesse" end is founded on circumstance*

defendant did Moly pretend to Henry Broome that be (Ri-

respecting the trial of John Broome for certain offences and
Mad mid had mcortaisted from the said Secretary

On the application of Mr. Parry the court granted a
warrant, with the usual notice of bail. It was stated that
the defendant at this than was in the Queen's Prison, and
that the warrant would be lodged there m a detainer.

THE POLICE COURTS.
WORSHIP-STREET.
A well-dressed man named John Bennett alias Smith,
was charged with having feloniously received a quantity of
stolen property, the produce of depredations committed by
juvenile thieves, whom ho was in the habit of harbouring
upon hie premins.
fierpong lalYlas ri lb. H division, stated that in ma-
mmon ritiOhonslios bis bad received, he proceeded on
Hatrwiale raMnin Thrawl-street, Spitalfields,
MY*t#r meifaara lithe police u a place of resort for
Ilas reliA illosiswass Mow In the district, and upon enter-
ing., albs upper sum Irr found the prisoner stretched
ell Rs Yglb ogsa a bui, at the foot of which were two
minis= joss giairpreaurts, who were in the act of barter-
lag .116 blot fir sone imadkerchiefs which they had just
deliveredinto kis posassOkia. On examining the piece he
observed that the upper part of the bedstead was inter-
sected with clothes lines, from which were suspended about
a dozen silk handkerchiefs, which had been recently
washed, and on turning down the pillows and
bed covering, he discovered eleven more handkerehielli,
from nearly the whole of which the private marks and
initials of the former owners had been carefully removed.
In answer to his questions as to how he became possessed
of the property, the prisoner at first declared that he had
purchased it in "the Lane," but afterwards said that a
man who dealt in such articles had sold him the duplicates
relating to them, and that he had since taken them oat of
pledge. • After securing the whole of the property, he con-
veyed the prisoner to the station-house, and on his arrival
at the court that morning be recognised one of the two
urchins who had slunk out of the room while he was pro-
secuting kis search, in the custody of another officer, who
had detected him shortly afterwards in an attempted street
robbery, and had taken him into custody.
On being asked if he wished to say anything in answer to
the charge,
The prisoner carelessly answered that he hail already
explained to the sergeant how the articles bad got into
his possession, and he hail nothing more to say about the
matter.
Mr. D'Eyncourt said that the account furnished by the
prisoner was anything but satisfactory ; and, as he was evi-
dently& very dangerous character, he should order him to
be committed to hard labour for two mouths in the Rouse
of Correction.
Mark (hacking*, the lad referred to by Sergeant Jack-
son as having been found engaged in disposing of stolen
property to the former prisoner, was next placed at the bar,
charged with having attempted to pick the pocket of a lady
in Commercial-street, Whitechapel ; and, the offence
having been clearly established, and evidence of a previous
conviction adduced against him, the prisoner was com-
mitted for three mouths to the House of Correction.
John Hope, alias Owen, another notorious receiver, in
the same neighbourhood, who had been found in possession
• of ten silk handkerchiefs, a gold breast-pin, a costly snuff-
box, and other articles, suspected to have been stolen, was
also convicted and sentenced to two months' imprison-
ment.
THAMES.
Guiseppe Ranardy, 7, Brown Bear-alley, and Emcees&
Asiteri, of the brig Arbach, lying in the London Docks,were
charged with stabbing and endangering the lives of two
Irish labourers, named Daniel Coveney and Thomas Mor-
ley, and also with assaulting William Connolly, another
Irish labourer, with a poker. The injured men are at pre-
sent in • precarious state in the London Hospital.
Ellen Riley, a servant at a brothel, 6, Brown Bear-alley,
Aldgate, stated that between one and two o'clock yesterday
morning Coveney and Hurley came out of the One Crown,
public.house, Butler's-buildings, and were proceeding to-
wards Rosemary-lane, when the two foreigners were quit-
ting the house, No. 7, Brown Bear-alley, kept by a Spanish
woman named Angelina, and, without the slightest provo-
cation, Guiseppe struck the Irishmen with a cane, which
Murley wrenched from him. Emanuel then pulled
ant a knife, which be handed to Ouiseppc, who
rushed at the Irishmen, and immediately after Hurley
reeled against the wail, crying out, "I am stabbed." In
the interim, Emanuel rushed into the house No. 7, and
brought out a poker, with which he wounded another
Irishman, named Connolly, by striking him a severe blow
ow the head. Ouieeppe also stabbed Coveney with the
knife in the left side, inflicting a severe wound, but not
quite so dangerous as that inflicted on Murley. The latter
received a gash in the lower part of the abdomen, from
which the bowels protruded. The prisoners then ran away,
Emanuel dropping the poker in the alley.
Berjeant Armstrong (25 H) produced& clasp knife, which
he picked up in the alley, with marks of blood near the
