EQUITY COURTS.—Nov. 12.
(Before Vico-Chancellor Sir R. T. /iividereley-)
PLOWER I. TRH LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOT= RAILWAY
COMPANY.
This was • motion for an injunction to restraio the dr
fondant/ from interfering with the workmen of the eon-
tractor employed by the plastid to °Destruct • bridge over
the intended line of railway of the defendants, at Battersea.
On Monday the court grantedinte
rim order against the
Brighton RailwaCompany similar to the oar now *ought
for against the llner and Chatham Oompsay, that order
expiring this day. As stated in the report of theme heard
on Momday, the plaintiff obtained se act of parliament last
session empowering him to make • road from
Battersea to Clapham. The Dover end Chatham
Company had entered into an agreement with par.
ties representing the Clapham vestry, and the oreepaoy
subsequently entered into ea agreement with the plaintiff,
whereby be undertook to make the road, and they agreed
to pay him 8001. on completion. The contraptor's work-
meu commend the construction of the bridge on the 2nd
Pmt., but while they were at dinner on the 3rd, 4th, and
sth, they were barricaded out by moor in the employ of
the defeiwlanta, as well as by ponces employed by the
Bright*. Company. From the affidavits of Sir Charles
Fox, the engineer of the Dover end Chatham Company, and
from the correspondence which was read, it appeared that
the making of the bridge would prevent the ooestruction
of • jumbos line, for which ironer has beet already
tained,
of would also render
it
Char the cerryiag out
of some other hoes proposed by Sir Charles Fox, and for the
making of which it laaßLosed to apply for powers next
session. It was also on the pert of the defendants
that • deviation road, y which the road would g.
wider the railway instead of over it, bad been proposed by
ihso., and that when the bill was passing through parikassat
• premise wee gives on the part of the plaintiff that the
road should be made accord* to that plan of deviation, but
thin was denied. At the conclusion of the argument.,
His Hoaxer said he would pcetpooe his decision till the
owe against the Brialithe Company had been argued, end in
the meantime the interim injunctioa against that ompsay
would be continued.
It was then arranged that the case against the Brighton
company should nom° on to-morrow (Fnday), after the un-
opposed petitions.
