The Cs inn AN —The report and acooonta distributed

to the progress of the undertaking and its condition at the
ends of last half-year. Yon will observe that we have
now nearly oompleted the arningsneuts for obtaining pos-
session of ell the land and property required for the 0:5
line. We have, indeed, bees seder the necessity at
arraugenienis to take considerably more than was
for that purpose. I allude more particularly to the fit.

to buy nadir • decision of the Court of Mammy.
When we west to parliament for our original act we

Although it would certainly have been more convenient for
is not to hove made this large purchase out of our COMPSYSP
Lively limited capital. yet it may possibly prove of advan-
tage to the company in the end, to have been compelled to
become the owneri of so valuable apropeny. You will re-

price awarded is 296,0001. When the pareissemossy has

scarcely point out that for business purposes, situated so
sear to the busiest part of London-bridge, the site easact
fail to be extremely valuable, sod to command a very high
price whey we come to offer it for sale. The worn are
rapidly proceeding towards completion, and although there
nisy as yet be no appearance of progress at the Lcsdoa
, bridge end of the line, I out assure those who have sot
seen for themselves that a great deal bas been done at the
western part of the railway and at the crossing of the river
at Huogerford. In the came of a few days from this
^ time, the works at this end, which are comparatively of an
easy character, will be in full progress We are also about
to take immediate steps to proceed with the City line into
Cannon-street. and which I trust will have made some pro.
green by the time we next meet. The chairman concluded
by moving the adoption of the report sod accounts.
Mr. W. C. Tuoureox, the deputy-chairman, seconded
the motion.

Mr. CoLms CHILD observed that in the statement of ex-
peditors for the half year there appeared a nun of 42,0001.
Repayment to the Hongerferd.bridge Company, whereas the
bridge company had actually only received the sum of
40,0001. He wished to know bow this discrepancy was to be
accounted for.

Mr. Suiten (secretary) explained that the-sum of 2,0001.
had been lad as security till the title to the property was
completed. but it niu by mistake that it appeared In this
item as an addition to the 40,000/. paid.; and the mistake
should he rectified.

Mr. Beams implied of the engineer whether he had any
idea bow soon the line would be opened.
Mr. RAWIIIIIIAR replied that that was more a financial
than an magiseerill question. As he had alreedy told the
directors. if they mild clear the load for him in two or
three wecks, or even a month, he thought the line might be
opened to Waterloo be Jam next, and that the whole line
to Chariogcroes might be ready for unto by the beginning
of nest year.
The report was then unanimously 14104 and the »-
Vries directors, Sir Jame* Lute, ALP., lard Alfred NO,
X.P., and Mr. Seymour Toulon, were se-elested.
Mr. Rums moved the reelection of Yr. G. Smith, the
auditor, and the increase of tile mmumwation to

The motion was seconded by Captaia Waiw, and

Crose-examined—About four years ago I left my
Lu-
bend, and went to live with my sister. It is not true that I
was in the habit of getting intoxicated. The defendant
told me that that was the reason for his conduct, but it was
not true. I never told the defendant where I was going
when I left my sister's.
Reexamined—The defendant often ill treated me. In
the latter part of 1869 I found my husband anent from
his bed at 6 o'clock in the morning, and upon going down

her on menial occasions to desist, but it was nogood. Poor
years ago she left my house and went to live with her

don't recollect striking her at the time of her illness. One

Mr. Hall was called, who said he was a medical man, and

MA RYLEBONE.
A very respectably-attire! person, named William Boyd,
aged 59, of 1.8, Mecklenburgh-square, physician, wee
brought up on • warrant just before the closing of the
court on Tuesday, by Sergeant Thomas, detective of Boot-
land-yard, charged with feloniously intermarrying with
Elisabeth Carew, on the 27th of October, 1880, in the
parish of lLarylebose, his wife, Louisa Elisabeth, being
then alive.
Mr. Humphreys, jun., appeared to prosecute, and dated
that the prisoner had been married three times, the
first marriage being in 1822, the second in 1832, and
the third in 1860. The first was in this country, the second
io Ireland, and the third in London. I have sitting by my
side a gentleman who is solicitor to the Carew family, who
will produce certificates of the marriages. He will also at
• future day base witnesses to prose that the signatures in
the books are in the prisoner's handwriting. I have also •
'Mars, Bourret Thomas, • deterred Scotland-yard, who
took the prisoner in custody. The prisoner admitted to him
that he baa been separated from his wife for seven years.
He is, I may say, one of the most heartier restores in
existence, and when I say that, Ido not say too mach for
the lest lady that he bas roamed is in the receipt d an

Boyd. I have examined the three original en-
tries, and believe that I shall be able to prove
that they are in the prisoner's handwriting as to the signa-
ture. For the marriage in Ireland I produce • certificate
from the el who married • person of the name of
Boyd to a lady He married there in the name of William
Boyd, end I bdieve that theprisoner is the same person
who gave the name of William Boyd and William Cathcart

has been married are all alive. In the event of the ease
being remanded, I shall be able to produce the books and
prove that the handwriting in them is the prisoner's.

MARLBOROUGHATREET.
Major Lyon, one of the guardians of the poor of St.
George, Hanoverequare, applied to Mr. Knox foe a ma-
moos against the authorities of St. James's parish for re-
fusing to admit a deetitute poison under these circumstances :
—A. few nights ego the police found a MID in a state of com-
plete destitution in the streets. The man was taken about
two o clock in the morning by a covetable to St. Jimmie
workhouse, but the porter reload to receive the was sad
the constable was obliged to take him away.
The awe had been brought under the polies of
the board of guardians of 84.0eingsfa,to which parish it wag
understood the pauper was ultimately conveyed, and he, as
one of the guardians, now applied for a summons against his
workhouse porter of St. James's, in order that the question
of the right of refusal to admit the pauper at night might
be discussed sod decided.

--/fir.lftioxsailinl7;last district, the Easteod, such cases
were innumerable. He feared, however, that a magistrate
bad no jurisdiction in the matter. He believed the ease was
one which ought to be referred to the authorities at Gary-
dyr-howie.
Major Lyon wished to know whether it was not au offence
under the poor law for a parish to refuse to receive a casual
pauper when in a state of absolute destitution.
Mr. Knox did not think it was an offence for which be
could issue a summons. The case might be one of inhu-
manity, but it was not such a legal offence as must be set
forth on the summons when granted.
Major Lyon would have no objection to stand in the plate
of complainant against the pariah on behalf of the pauper,
as the question was one of great importance, not only to the
coma destitute, but to all parishes. His desire was to open
the doors of workhouses to proper objects, and not to have
the matter left to the diacsotion of a porter.
Mr. Hoot said his experience taught him that parishes
were not so much to blame in these refusals as the night
porters, who were generally selected from the old and
infirm inmates, and who were perhaps too idle or too
sleepy to admit proper applicants. He did not think that
magistrates had and. jurisdiction in such cases ; but be
would not speak pouVraly. He had always found that ex-
r:ttras what parishes most dreaded, aid the beet pro-
er: the pampers' rights.
Major Lyme ens mirth obliged to the magistrate for the
attention he bad gives to the matter, which he hoped would
have publicity.
