Lord Cranworth delivered judgment in this ease corn-
melting upon the law relating to railway companies in the
terms his lordship used with reference to the case of Mr
Bright, in the matter of the Direct Birmingham, Oxford
and Brighton Railway Company, which was reported in the ,
Express yesterday, but with regard to the particular
case of Mr. Carrick, his lordship said the application was to
strike this gentleman's name off the list of contributo-
ries, on the ordinary gronnds that he was not made
out liable to contribute. Ilia opinion was that there were
no special circumstances in this case showing that Mr. Car-
rick had ever become liable for any particular debts con-
tracted on behalf of the company. 'lt was evident that he
had paid a sum of money in the shape of a contribution to-
wards the expenses causa pads, and for the purpose of
avoiding any further liability, but this would not reader
him liable fur any debts which he had not expressly autho-
rised. With this intimation of his view of the law, the
matter might be referred to the Master to review his report,
and to state what were the expenses fur which Mr. Carrick
had actually rendered.himself liable.

COURT OF QUEENS BENCII.—YESTERDAY.
AT GIIILDHALL.—BITOiII LORD CAMPBELL /OD • srecist
ELAM V. TIER LONDON AND NORTH WYSTIDIN RAILWAY
COMPANY—EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
Mr. M Chambers, Mr. Henderson, and Mr. Bramwell
appeared for the plaintiff ; the Attorney-Geuerul, Mr. Lush,
and Mr. Cockle, for the defendants.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover
from the company the value of certain packages of goods
alleged to have been delivered by them to the wrong

person.
The case on behalf of the plaintiff was, that he
was what is called a " human mechanist," and carried on his
business at No. 3a6,oxforilestreet, and was also the patentee
of several inventions, and, among others, an engine by
which he proposed to supersede the use of steam. In May
1549 he went with a person of thsiname of Snowdon to Ame-
rica. 11e packed up and carried with him a quantity of
valuable articles, principally connected with his business, to
the amount of alout 3,9901. Ilis journey did not appear
likely to acswer his expectations, and he very shortly re-
turned, and brought all his good:bat k with hint. lie landed,
at Liverpool and sent his luggage to London by the London
and North Western Railway, directed to be le ft at the Camden
Town station till called for, and received from the company
a ticket, without which th.: goods ought not to have been
given up. This was in July, 1819. In August a written
order was sent to Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, in obedience
to which they did deliver the packages at a house in Castle-
street, Leicester-square. The plaintiff was at that time in
orison for debt, and in the December following he applied
to the company for the goods, and then found that they had
been already delivered to some other person. Ile
then brought an action against the company, which
was tried some short time ago, and to which the
plaintiff obtained a verdict, and the amount of the damages
was to depend upon the value put by an arbitrator upon
the goods alleged to have been in the packaged. The cons-
pany subsequently obtained a new trial upon affidavits
lalleging that since the trial facts had come to their know-
, ledge which proved that the plaintiff hiniselt was the party
by whose means the goods had been obtained from the
company, and that the goods were not of the allege(' value.
It wee uow agreed by hothsides at Lord Campbell's sug-
gestion that the evidence of those witnesses who had been
examined, upon the last trial should he read from the
Judge's notes, each party being at liberty to add any fur-
ther questions.
James Suowdon's evidence was 'then read to the effect
that lie was a carver and gilder, and hail embarked on the
115th of May, 1849, for America front London, and arrived
at New York on the 211th of June. Upon the passage he
became acquainted with the plaintiff, Wilt) showed him a
variety of goods, there were seven boxes, a portmanteau,
and abed. Before they landed one box burst, and witness
saw thecontente. PlaiittAf and witness were very ill in Ame-
rica. They went front New lurk to Philadelphia, stayed only
a few days, and returned to Liverpool, where they arrived
ou the 1, th July. The goods were passed through the
Cuidom-house, and taken to the railway station, and di-
rected " Elam, London, to be left till called for," and a
ticket was given for eight packages. Witness saw the
plaintiff' again in three or four days, and afterwards saw
him in Whitecross-street and the Queen's Bench Prisons.
In January, 18.50, went with plaintiff to t7io railway sta-
tion, and he asked the clerk if he remembered seeing a
ticket for the packages in question, and asked him to ,
return it. s Afterwards saw the secretary, and said he
should pu the matter into the hands of his attorney.l
The witness was then further examined by Mr. Ilea-
demon as to the value of the goods and stated that plaintiff
had shown hint during the voyage a patent with the great
seal attached, 2 paintings, one a man's head and the other a
small painting on ivory, and a chins vase. Ile could give
no opinion of the value of these things. Before they lauded
one of the boxes broke, and witness saw that it contained a
quantity of smith's tools, and 12 or 15 dozen trusses marked
A. Elam, and a quantity of steel bent ready to make into
trusses. Afterwards, in America, had seen sonic of the things
unpacked and repacked again. There was a double-barrelled
gun, '2 rifles, four or five pairs of pistols, 2 swords, 2 watches,
chains, rings, and wearing apparel, china VW, and wooden
blocks with engravings on them, and a ipiautity of surgical
instruments, china, glass, and a quantity of gold and silver
wire.
On cross-examination witness said he went mat to see if
he could get any employment. Ile hail a letter of intrmlue
tiou' and was disappointed at not doing so. The plaintiff
and himself wore both taken ill. The pl MAX had gold,
which he used to change when he wanted to pay for any-
thing.
Islathew Denton said he hod been one of the custom-
house officers' and remembered inspecting the plaintiffs
luggage at Liverpool when the ship returned from America,
and saw various articles as detailed by the last witness.
On cross-examination, witness said he had been di*
charged from his situation in the customs foe a charge of
iminuvieg at frauds, and receiving brans.
On re-examination, witness said he did not consider he
ever got justice done hint by the Board of Customs.
Elisabeth Elam stated that she was sister to the plaintiff,
and had assisted him in packing the goods in question.
The witness then went through a long list of goods, con-
sisting of a quantity of plate, silver tea and coffee pots,
sugar-basin, &c., great quantities of tools and surgical
instruments, an wearing apparel.
Cruss-examined—She had learned from her brother about
the end of April that he was in difficulties. Remembered
a distress fur rent coming in. Her brother had taken a
lodging at 15, Exmouth-street. d'art of the furniture and
goods were removed th-re, but they were nut tacked fur
the purpose of going there. Some were packed in bags.
Had hereelf packed four cases. When she came to Lin-
den, had brought with her a tin case. Carried back into
Yorkshire a quantity of things given her by her brother ;
but did not pay 17s. overcharge fur luggage. The plate was
kept iu a box under her brother's bed. It was not used
while she was in London. The box of jewellery belonged
to her sister, who was dead. Remembered the plaintiff
buying a lathe, and gave a cheque for the price. Did not
know that plaintiff had nu account with the bank on which
it was drawn. Did not know that plaintiff had obtained a
quantity of goods front tradesmen w'ho'ps were never paid
for. llad put plaintiff's name to his acceptance after he
was gone to America. Considered she had authority to do
so. Rad no recollection of having complained that plain
tiff left her all the dirty work to du, but would nut swear
she did not say so.
Mr. Bolt spoke to the lodgings in Exmouth-street being
taken by plaintiff.
Witham Elam, father to the plaintiff, stated that in 1818
plaintiff had a large stock in trade. Had gone to the rail-
way station to inquire whether the goods had arrived safely,
and waif told they had.
Charles Darling was in the service of Elam as shopman
at 403 and 3e6, Oxford-street, in the years 1813 and 1849.
Was there just before Elam went to America. lie had a
very good stock in trade, consisting of trusses, bandages,
&e. Cannot give any account of the value. The receipts
over the counter were from 201. to 10/. per week. There
were three or four workmen when I was there. There were
tools, pictures, and furniture. Assisted in removing the
furniture.

On cross-examination, witness said he knew nothing of
bills being left unpaid. The workmen were all paid. The
persons who cause for bills did not come to the shop. Re-
members a lathe coming, and the person would not leave it
without the money. Does not think that Elam gave him a
cheque, and told him to shew it the man, but on no account
to part with it. Knows nothing about Miss Elam putting
off people who came for money with excuses.
Troutbeck, another shopman, was called, who spoke to

On cross-examination witness said that. Elam wanted him
to go with bins to America, to protect his patent when he
returned to England; but he refused, as lee had other
avocations..

Raymond Charles Steward hail been a witness on the pre-
Yioll4 trial, and his evidence was read to the effect that he
had enquired for the plaintiff at the railway whether the
goods were safe, and ascertained that they were, and that
he wag afterwards told by the plaintiff that the police bad
traced the goods to Castle-street.
On cross-examination, the witness said he had lent the
plaintiff money at different times, and had pledged articles
of his own for the purpose, and plaintiff had done so for
him. The plaintiff hail some pictures, he had one of a Jew's
head, which he shi old say was a Rembrandt. The witness
then read some men.oranda of some sums advanced to Elam
and paid for him dunng the time he was iu prison, and up
to the 10th September, 11549. After Sept. 10, had no inter-
course with bun till after he came oat of prison. Elam
told him that 12s. Gd. would clear the goods
at the station. Remembers being in a public-
house in Castle-street on the 21st of August. The plaintiff's
father and three other men were with him. Was there
about a quarter of an hour. Had been there frequently.
Has eunastaiuna those us as mist Des. a AttLe in the bill

discounting line. Has been through the Insolvent Court
only once. Will swear that it was utter he was at the publics
house in Castle-street that ha went to Camden-town Station
about the goods.
A clerk was here calle 1, and the witness was asked whe-
ther it was Rio man of whim he made inquiries. The wit-
ness said he thoualit it was not.
Auether clerk was then called, and witness made the
same answer. Knew a man of the name of More. Took a
tour into the country with him, for the purpose of selling
pictures. Will swear it wall not for the purpose of playing
cards, Has said ho did not from his knowledge of the
plaintiff's circumstances believe he was ever possessed of
half the goods ho claimed, and says the same now. But
does not remember ever seyiag, if Inc did not take care ho
would be doing something for which he would be sent
across the water.
On re-examination witness mid he went to Castle-street
to wait while his porter went with a note to Wilkins, de-
manding some papers. The house was the Blue Poets.
Never heard of the removal of the goods till told by
plaintiff at the end of the year. Had nothing to do with the
removal of them himself.
By the Court —The plaintiff did represent that the goods
at the station were valuable.
Mary Sears had been a witness or, the previous trial, and
her evidence was read. The substance of it was that she
was the landlady of the house iu Castle-street, iind a man
came and took lodginge for a person of the name of Elam.
A person came the next day, and said he understood lothr-
info were taken the a person of the name of Elam. She
said " Yes ;" and heavy boxes were then brought in a
cart, and were afterwards taken away again. Snowdon was
not one of the persons who came, nor was Stewart. The
plaintiff called upon her in December, and that was the
fast time she ever saw him.
This witness was not further examined.
Witnesses were then called, who proved that the plain-
tiff was in prison from the 10th August to Irish December.
John Heather was then called, and stated taut h: had
been a bottle merchant at Cirencester-place. He nuw
knew Alfred Elam, but did not know him till just before
the last trial. Ilaa been applied to by a poison of the
name of Cartwright, whom he had known for six or seven
years, to know if he bail any apartments to let, and, un
his saying his house was full, lie asked him for a reference
to "onte other person. Witness then asked bins if ho had
left his situation, and he said he woo then employed in
selling goods on commission, and had a commission
to sell a quantity of goods belonging to a per-
son of the name of Elam, and which were then
lying at the terminus of the North Western Railway
and he wanted somewhere to house them until the sale.
Witness said he should have no objection to give him a re-
ference as far as he knew,but he knew nothing of Elam,
and his reference could not extend to him, and he should
also tell anybody who applied to him that he (Cartwright)
had never been hie tenant. Mr. Sears afterwards applied
to hint. Believed, but would not positively swear, that he
told Scare that Cartwright was the man's name, and that
he believed him to be an honest young man. '1 he railway
police inspector afterwards canto to him, and he told him
that Cartwright lived iu lied Limsquare, but be could not
tell the number.
On cross-examination he said, he was quite certain that
Elam was not the name he mentioned to Mr. Sears. Did
not recollect whether he mentioned to Seare that Mr. Cart-
wright was a relation of my brother's wife. (lad told
Barker, the police-inspector, at first, that he could not
recollect the name, but afterwards recollected it, and wrote
it down for him. Did nut recollect that Mr. Scars came and
told him that the man to whom lie had given a reference,
hail gone away and left a week's rent unpaid.
Mr. Sears was then called, and his previous evidence
read. It was to the effect that he was, the husband of the
witness who bail been examined, and that he had gone to
Mr. Heather to enquire about the person who had taken
his wife's lodgings, mil he had mentioned to Lim the name
of the person who took the apartments. Ile could not re-
member what that name was, but Isis wife had written it
down for hint
Mrs. Sears way then-recalled, and in answer to questions
by the Attorney-General, stated that she had given the
name of the iwrsen who took the lodgings, not that of the
person fur whom they were taken. It woo an elderly per-
son, sue should say 50 years of age. The person who canto
as the nephew afterwards, and who said his name was Elam,
was about 30. She did not remember the name of the per-
son who took the lodgings, but she thought it was net Cart-
wright ; elle had seen a person afterwards of that name, but
that was not the person.
Mary Blunt, the niece of Mrs. Sear., was called to corro-
borate the statement as to the goods being taken away front
the house.
The Attorney-General then addressed the jury for the
company, and stated that this was oue of the must extra-
ordittary cases that ever came into a courtof justice, and he
should show that the Cave of the plaintiff was fraudulent
from beginning to end. Ile should show, by moos of
letters written by the plaintiff in the year. ISta, 1816, and
1847, that he was then in hepcleesly insolvent circum-
stances, and that he had never been poseeesed of any much
stock-in-nude as had been ascribed to him, and that in fact
it never exceeded about SO?. ; that ho Wel, never possessed
of any plate beyond a few spoons, and in fact was
at that time using all sorts of devices to elude
his creditors, and was obtaining goods by false pre-
tences. Ito then read some letters from the plain-
tiff, written to Wilkins, tho foreman, from Portsmouth,
when he wan waiting to embark for America, cemplaining
that his money was all gone except 10s., that he hail been
obliged to pawn some of his thing's to keep himself, and
begging him to send hint 30/. or he was quite done. 'Me
leaned counsel then read the statement made upon oath
by the plaintiff at the time these goods, alleged to lie worth
3,0001., and including 44/. in gold, were lying at the rail-
way station, to the effect that he was not worth 101. in the
world, and begging to be allowed the prissin allowance of
6,1. per des, ; and commented on his remaining in custody
till the 6111 November and not applying for his gooshs at the
station till the .'6th December. Ile should 'show that one
or other hypothesis must be adopted—either that the
property was not worth applying for, or that,
in fact, lie was the persoa by whom the goods
were obtained. Ile should 1410 W that the letter
by means of which the goods were obtained, if not in this
handwriting of the plaintiff, was the work of the meet ac-
complished forger, and must have been the work of soma
person who hail a most perfect familiarity with his hand-
writing; that what goods there were in the packages w. re
really received by plaintiffs agents, 4114 had been cou-
vetted into money, by means of which he had releasedhitaself
from prison.
Charles Turner, an attorney at Iluad, rstleld, was called.
sad the evidence given by him on the previous trial r, ad,
which merely was to the effect of the plaintiff having
been in distressed circumstances in 1841. Ile also swore,
that the letter to Chaplin and Home, directing them to
send the goods to the address therein mentioned was its the
plaintiff's handwriting. This letter wan on pine paper.
Oa cross-examination, he said he could scarcely say whe-
ther the signature to the way-hill was like the plaintiff's
handwriting ; the "E " is made in the sante form.
John Dent's evidence on the previous trial was read, to
the effect that the pink letter was plaintiff's handwriting,
and also that the signature to the waybill was.
John Foster had resided with the plaintiff for nearly
year about 1813, and was on intimate terms with hint ; he
was then in the greatest poverty, and haa very little stix•a is
trade ; knew his handwriting. The pink letter is like his
handwriting, but he always signal Isis name " Alfred
Elam," and not "A. Elatn. ' 1 shuuld say it was like his
writing, if he had taken more than ordinary paius. llud
seen him about a year after he left him, and he had told
hint he was in great distress, and had been broken up by a
devil of a landlord. He also said he had something in
hand, and it' witness would help him, it would be a good
thing for both of theru; but he did not wish to have my-
thing to do with him.
On cross-examination, witness said he had a letter
which he bad compared with the pink paper and which was
exceedingly like it. Ile should say the signature to the
way-bill wets slot his.
Captain Iluileon, keeper of the Queen's Prison, re-
membered plaintiff coating to the prison and coming after-
wards to swear an affidavit, the farm of which one of
his officers had furnished him with. Asked him whether
he hod read the affidavit and could conscientiously swear
that he was not worth 10/. Ile said he could. Ile then
swore the affidavit, and after that received five shillings a
week with bedding and furniture and a room rent free as
a pauper prisoner.
On cross-examination—Could not remember his having
said that he had no property to maintain himself that he
could get at, or that lie had a good business in Oxford-
street, but a person of the name of Wilkins was in posses-
sion of it.
By the Court—lf he had said he had property which he
could not get at, I should not have allowed him to swear
the affidavit.
Charles Colville, an officer of the prison, stated lie had
seen plaintiff write in prison, and thought the pink paper
was in his handwriting.
' On cross-examination, witness said he should say the
paper was not written better than his ordinary writing.
Thinks he was shown another document. liar no recollec-
tion what it was, or what opinion he gave upon it.
Moses Masters—Was formerly in plaintiff's service.
Thinks the 'sink paper is in the plaintiff's handwriting.
When he lived with plaintiff his stock was small, but can-
not state the value. Does not remember any executions or
distresses coming in. Never stew an ounce of plate about
the premises.
On cross-examination witness said Ida business was con-
fined principally to the back shop, but he also went some-
times iuto the front shop. When the pink paper was shown
another letter was also shown him. Doubted about the
handwriting of the pink paper, but was positive about the
other letter. The way-bill was not then shown hint. Did
not think the signature was plaintiff's.
By the Court.—lied breakfasted, dined, and supped with
plaintiff, but never mow any plate.
Ann Best had been in the service of the plaintiff, princi-
cipally employed iu the shop, but had been all over the
house. Never saw any plate except two spoons. Never
saw any pictures except one with three black men's heads,
and one that was the top of a snuff-box. Panama used to
call for money, but seldom got it. There were sometimes
five or six workwomen. When I left in May there were
only two. There was a shopman also.
On cross-examination, tho witness said she left before
plaintiff went to America. Had not worked for Wilkins
since, and did not know what had become of him. The
that they had been unable to obtain their money.
