(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
FILRNILIT V. YKRNILZY AND NAYLOR.

After mi. repot I left on Saturday,-- -----
Mr. O'Malley addressed the jury on behalf of the co-
rupoudent. He mid that Mr. Naylor was a provincial
bmerister, and only occasionally had business in Loudon.
Having made the acquaintance of Mm Ferneley through
conducting a suit for her in the county court he had felt
willing to assist ber, as far as he could, by occupying
matte in her house when he came to town. He
denied that there was anything immoral in the coo.
auction. The learned omuniel insisted that there was no
sufficient proof of adultery evilest his client, and claimed
the verdict of the jury on the Mete relating to him.
The case was then adjourned till Wodneeday amt. when
it is expected this Mr. Locke will address the jury on
behalf of Mrs. Fersolay.

THE POLICE COURT&
_ _ GUILDHALL.

Join Leaky Wregg, an agent in the service of Mr. Ceo.
Hawkesley, a manufacturer of silver and plated goads, at
Tbavies•inn, Holborn, and at Sheffield, was charged with
embezzling money and goods belonging to hie employer to
the amount of about 2.0001. He was also shagged with
forging and uttering a bill of exchange for 221., with intent
to defraud his master.
He was reamadad, bail being accepted to the amount of
1,0001., and two sureties in 50W. each.

DUBLIN AND MEATH RAILWAY.

The ordinary general meeting of the company was
held on Friday, at the Broadstooe Station; Mr. W. H. Au.
CANA ia the abuse, of Biz J. Paxton, coupled the chair.
The directors' report stated that the attire Ilse Is at length
practically complete, as all the important works were ap-
proved by the government inspector on the 29th ult. ; sad
eir Noce al an additional platform is piut up at the Hilmeesen
station, the sanction of the Board of Trade to the opening
of the line will be given. The directors believe that the
line will be available for passenger talk before the bell-
yearly meeting on the 26th inst. Durum de last half-year
the traffic hadbeen conducted without aeoldeet, and there
had been an increase, as compared with the ecinimponding
period of 1862, of 21 per cent. on pummel', 9 per out. an
parcels, 135 per cent, on horses, can cages, auddop, and 98pr
out, on goods and cattle. While the traffic expenses, Si
compared with the receipts for the same period, showed •
decree's of two per cent., notwithataoding that the cost
of maintenance of way is that half-year charged to
traffic account. The directors do not, however, consider
that the results upon this portion of the line amply
• fair criterion of the value of the property, and they look
with confidence to the working of the ookrialrool. by
which • larger proportionate income, at a smaller propor-
tionate out, loathe realised. It was to be regretted, that
daring the period when smistance has bees Deeded, the
shareholders have not rallied more strongly to the proter-
tics of their own property ; and now, when a WWII m-
ouse may be relied on, it wu to be hoped that they would do
so, and thus prevent an i DOMINI of expense. In lace ease
the further capital sought by the pending application to
Pediment will be sufficient, and the entire line will have
been constructed at • out of 13,000/. per mile, an amount
which, though largely exceeding the sum which had been
expected by the directors, ie still such as to justify the be-
lief that the traffic over the entire lime will yield • lair re-
turn to the shareholders.

The Ciudansic, on moving the adoption the report, said
he wee happy to be able to state that the concern was to a
most satisfactory condition, and that the report was also
most satisfactory.
-- - .

Mr. RICHARD BOLTON, Restive Abbey, Heath, seeeaded
the motioo. He thought they must all epee with the re-
marks of the chairman relative to the satiefsatory state of
their affairs. He hoped that when the has wee opened their
traffic would extend. .

Sierra,tbri solicitor to the company, is reply to a
question u to the making of the line costing 13,0001. a mile,
said no one could feel more on thin subject than be did. At
the same time they coated not pick up spilled milk, and it
would be wiser, isstead of looking to the past, to look
to the future. (Hear, bear.) They now had the line
opened, and he was only surprised at the fact,
for their difficulties within the lest three years had
been very oonsiderable indeed. Those difficulties
had, however, been overcome by the directoes,
and by thins who assisted them, at a very large out.
Looking to the future—not, however, judging of the Peet
month, but looking from that day forward—any one might
see for himself, from the return, that the income of the
company, at the smallest amount at which it could possibly
be, would Meter than sufficient to pay five per cent. upon
the present debenture and preference shares. With reepest
to the carriageot mails the directors would make every
effort to arrange with the l'ostofflos. With respect to the
traffic, whether it were in tattle. goods. Pan, or whatever
the material might be, the directors were equally solicitous,
end the traffic manager had, of course, instructions to faster
it in every possible way.
In reply to some other remarks,
Mr. SETH said they would have no competition to Atli-
boy, where their line mitered a very good country ; their
traffic would be a new one, mid cot detrimental to the
interviste of any other company. The slightest exertion on
the part of the shareholders would keep the oast of con-
struction at its present figure, sad he had not the slightest
doubt that by the next half•yearly meeting they would be
paving a good and satisfactory dividend.
After some further discussion the report was adopted, and
the directors, who retired by rotation, were re-elected.

CE,rrRAL WkLEA RiILWAY.—The half-yearly
meeting WIN held on Saturday at the Westminster Palace
Hotel; Mr. F. Maitland in the chair. The secretary reed
the report, which stated that the works in the construction
of the line had, during the pest six months, been carried on
with much energy, not only eloog the whole length of the
line between Kmcklas and Ferryboat. bat alio beyond
Llandridrod. The directors have decided that as the works
on all portions of the line were now so much admired, it
would be better to open the line throughout from Knighton
to Llandridrod, and with that view every effort would be
made to enable the line to be opened during nett August
for general traffic. On the notion of the chairman, the
report was adopted.

•
SEVENOARs, M•IDAIONE, AND TUNBRIDGE RAIL-
WAT.—The directors report that the traffic for the past
half-year ha. been moat satisfactory, showing an Mmes.'
of 1,1931. over the oorrespoading half-year of 1862, or at the
rate of 43 per cent. The balance applicable to payment of
debenture interest, which for the latter period was 6881.
13e. 10d., is for the last six months 1,642 f. 16e. Bd. As im•
portent accession of traffic may be expected next 1111011110 f,
on the opening of the London, Chatham, and Dover lice to
to Blackfriars and Earl.etreet. The working plans of the
extensioa line to Maidstoce are on the point of completioo,
and arrangements are in progress for the construction of the
hoe with the least poesible delay. The directors are apply.
ing to parliament for the necessary powers to carry out thin
arrangement with the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail-
ways=zhlch has already received the ruction of
the

Kant COAST RAILWAY.—The directors report
that the Jim between Heroe Bay and Bernegate was mimed
for traffic on the Bad of October kat. In ammoniac* of
the delay in opening the hoe referred to is the last report,
the traffic is being worked through the winter months by
the London, Chatham, and Dover Company at coat prim
The working agreement with that company will, however,
coon into operation on the let proximo. The direc-
tors have every reason to anticipate a very large tragic
daring the naming 110•100. LI the Joins of the farther
section, of the Loaders, Chatham, Dover line to Block-
friars and Earl-street will place the deem population of the
centre sod earth of Loudon within easy reach of the
favourite watering placee accommodated by the Sant
Coast line. In commies°, of additional elation scoommo-
dation (mid eiremary for the devekimosst of the trate of

direction of the Board of Trade it bas been found assns.
