POTWDIR V. THIC GI/RAT NORTHMAN RAILWAY Cost-
PARY.—APPLICATIOM TOR AN INJUNCTION TO RILSTRAUt
A COISTANY TROY TARING LikllD.—Mr. Bothell and Mr.
Craig moved, on behalf of the plaintiff, for an injunction to
restrain the defendants, the Great Northern Railway Com
palsy, Ina making their railway over the lands, containing
3 reeds end 4 porches, belonging to the plaintiff, situate in
the perish W St. Mary, Islington, or from continuing in
peseemien el the said land. It appealed by the bill that the
eospaity gays the plaintiff notice in February last that
they Intended to take the aforesaid land, whereupon
the plaintiff appointed • person to value the land, and
the sum amounted to 1,3381. While the negotiations
were proceeding, the company, without notice to the
plaintiff, applied to two justices, under the powers in
their act, for the appointment of a surveyor, who valued
the land at 9501. The company, alter this, delivered to the
plaintiff a bond under their common seal, and signed by the
solicitors of the company, for the payment of the said sum of
9501., with a condition that the bond 'should be void if the
company and their solicitors should on demand pay to the
plaintiff, or should on demand deposit in the Bank of Eng-
land, the amount of such purchase-money or compensation
es should be determined upon, under the powers of their act
of parliament. Upon the bond was endorsed a receipt by
the cashier of the Bank of England for the 9501., with a
statement that the said sum had been placed to the account
of Wm. Russell, Esq., the accountant-general of the Court
of Chancery, to the credit of ex parte the Great Northern
Railway Company, to the account of Thomas Poynder.
The company took possession of the plaintiff's lend
on the 12 *.h of this month, and commenced making their
works upon it, and another notice was served upon the
plaintiff, that the company would require more lands belong-
ing to him. It was contended for the plaintiff that the pro-
ceedings they had taken were informal ; that upon the
appointment of a surveyor, under the order of the justices,
the land to be surveyed ought to have been defiuitely
stated : that the form of the bond was wrong, as it con-
tained the words " on demand ;" and also that the notice
served upon the plaintiff was not in the terms authorised by
the act, as it stated that the company intended, at the expi-
ration of three weeks, to enter upon the lands referred to in
the plea annexed, such land being not more than 200 yards
distant from the centre of the railway, and being required
by the sa:d company for the seven] purposes thereinafter
mentioned, some or one of them. Mr. Rolt and Mr. Den-
nison appeared for the defendants, and contended that they
had acted in strict conformity with the terms of the act of
parliament.—The Vice-Chancellor said upon the first objee-
non, that in the appointment of a surveyor the land intended
to be taken was not specified ; he did not see that the act
required anything of the sort. It was for thejustices to take
care that the valuation was made of such land as was in die-
pate ; but the act did not require that the land should be
specified another objection had been raised as to the suffi-
ciency of the sureties to the bond; but he did not think
there was any question about that, since the bond had been
given, and the money actually paid. The receipt open the
bond stated that the money was placed to the credit of the
Great Northern Railway Company ; and it had been con-
tended that this was wrong ; but he could not see that there
was any substantial objection to it, as the money was
to the account of the plaintiff; and therefore it wee
• literal compliance with the terms of the act.
The next objection was upon the word " demand." His
Honour would not say that this was wrong, but he would
reserve his judgment, and determine the point another day.
A. 4 to the form of the notice, which stated that the company
inteaded to take the plaintiff's land " for the several pur-
poses mentioned, some or one of them," he thought that
was contrary to the terms of the act. The notice ought to
specify the purposes for which the land was required, other-
wise the owner would have the burtheu thrown upon him
of considering all the different questions that would arise
as to how far other lands might be equally. good for the
purpose. He should, therefore, grant an injunction as to
this portion of the case.

by his will, dated the 31st of August, 1837, after giving his
wife a government annuity of 3001. for ker life, appoints!'
Thomas Ilornby, the treasurer of the Unitarian Association,

of the government annuity of 3001. to the defendant
Thomas ilornby, upon the trust mentioned in the will, sub-
ject to the life interest given to the widow, was a valid be-
quest, and was decided by his Honour in the affirmative. The
residuary estate of the testator having since that been ascer-
tained, and carried in the proper proportions to the separate
accounts of the parties entitled thereto, Mr. Sidney Smith
now applied by petition fur payment out of court of the plain-
tiff's share of the residue, which had been assigned to the

This happened again and again ; but on the last occasion

BaOlrN v. DEBT.—
Mr. Whitehurst, Q C., end Mr. Mellor were for the plain-
tiff; Mr. Miller and Mr. Mccauley conducted the case on
the part of the defendant. The plaintiff is the landlord of
• public-hones at Buford, which adjoins Nottingham. The
defendant Is an attorney, and during the election for Not-
tingham, in 1843, took an active part in promoting the elec-
tion of young Mr. Walter. It was felt to be necessary, ac-
oordiag to the good old custom of electioneering, to have
some open howese; but the plaintiff declined opening his
house until he was " made safe " for the previous election
in 1842. Mr. Seeders then gave him an 1 0 U fur 301. ;
the house was opened, and the good things of this life were
free for certain freemen of the town of Nottingham. The
landlord, however, war never paid, and the present action
was brought against Sanders, he having been the agent by
and through whom the hems was opened. Sixty pounds
was the sum sought to be recovered, and the jury tuned for
the whole demand, minus 184 ls. ed., for spirits, which was
barred by the Tippling Act.

feet, that in sheeld be able to pendant evidence to confute
lazy Dingle% sislenent in its most material features ; and,
if ha natteseflei in doing so, the defendant would be entitled
to the med. The learned counsel was proceeding with
his tam the Chief Justice interposed.
His Ought there were technical difficulties in this
case. Ib lbseiblisa was the tem of orrice saki& the
plaintiff waraersi is have suidnined by reason of his
daughter's saincliim. The declaration contained allegations
&basically mdlisient to give the plaintiff a right of action,
but, in hi (the ledge's) opinion, the evidence was not sufil-
tient to support the declaration as to the muse of the plain-
tiff's bang deprived of his daughter's services. It appeared
that many 'maths before her confinement, when the condi-
tion she was in would have no effect upon her father, the
girl had (with his consent) put an end to the relationship
which would give the father a right to her services. She
continued absent from her father's house up to a period
after the birth of her child, and during her absence she was
not, for the greater portion of the time, unable
to do or perform the necessary affairs and busineu of the
laintiff."
Mr. Sujeant Kinglake and Mr. Greenwood contended
that the material allegation in the declaration was estab-
lished. The girl's &hennas front her father's house was
caused by the condition she was in, sad that condition was
the result of the defendant's conduct towards her.
Chief Justice Wilde was of opinion that the evidence did
not support the declaration. It appeared to him that before
the period when the conduct of the defendant had disquali-
fied the girl from performing those services which her father
had a right to expect, she had voluntarily, and, as it must be
anuened from the evidence, with the consent of her father,
determined her service with them. The materiel allegation
u pm which the declaration was founded war, that by means
of the defendant's conduct, Mary Dictate was rendered
unable to perform the necessary affairs of the plaintiff as she
had been accustomed to do ; but it appeared upon the evi-
dence that she deprived the plaintiff of her services long
before she became incapacitated. On these grounds he held
that the present action could not be maintained. The plain-
tiff must therefore be called.—Nontuit accordingly.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Yes=, JULY 23.
THE MISPIIILD MURDERS.—This morning Mr. Justice
Wightman said: I hare carefully considered the question
discussed before me respecting the detention of Petrick Reid.
The teemed couneel who conducted the prosecetioo, in the
exercise of their discretion,. proposed to proceed with the
other cases easiest him; and by law they have arfect right
are to do so. as the offence* quite distinct.l
e question
then is, if these cases are to be tried, whether another trial
should take place at these assizes upon the same evidence,
and upon which the cue has been tried and the jury have
pronounced their verdict. As it is suggested that further
evidence could be obtained if the case were postponed, it
would be improper, both as regards the prisoner and the
public, that any further proceedings should take place at
these mires. Whether any further evidence as be pro-
duced may be a subject for mature consideration—at ell
events nothing should be done hastily; and I think it right
that the remaining charges should stand over until the next
senore' gaol delivery.—Mr. Bliss naked his lordship to respite
recoisances of the witnesses, which was ordered to be
done.—Reid will remain in clam custody ; and M'Cabe and
the Kiltys will also be kept in York Castle as witnesses.
Mucus AT RAWMARAIL—ScunueI Linley, aged 39, wu
with having, on the 28thof Mny last, at Rawmiusb,
laiur; murdered Susannah Jagger.--The facts proved in
evidence were, that the prisoner was a wheelwright and
metal worker, in the employment of Mears. Scholelield and
Co., proprietors of the New Park-gate Ironworks, near
Maaborougb. The deceased we, the wife of Benjamin
Jagger, and lived in the neighbourhood of the ironworks at
which the prisoner was employed. Deceased was between
59 and GO years of age, end on the morning in question,
about 10 o'clock, she left home to go on her ordinary round
in her business. About 11 o'clock she was walking along
the road between Rawmarsh and Rotherham. about a mile
and a half from the latter place, and within 80 yards of the
toll-bar, in which neighbourhood there are severalcottages,
in one of which a man named Almon lived, and the primmer
lodged with him. When the poor woman was at this point
she was walking in the middle of the road, and the prisoner
was on the footpath. He left the footpath and accosted the 11
deceased, and Lilted to shake hands with her, as he had done
to another female a few minutes before. The deceased re-
fused to shake hands with him ; be said he would shake
hands, gad then k °eked her down. She got up, her bonnet
fell off, and he knocked her down again when her cap came
off. He next seined her by the head arid struck her several
times. Several persons were within a abort distance ; the
screams of the deceased attracted their attention, and they
ran towards her to protect her from the prisoner's violence.
One witness, of the name of Howard, called out to him to
give over, and he heard the prisoner say, with an oath, " I'll
do —;" but the remaining words were lost. The
woman was still held down by him, and he had
her shoulders between his knees, and laid hold of
her head with his left hand. He was then seen to put
his right hand into his pocket and take out a knife, which
he drew across the deceased's throat, by which he separated
the carotid artery and the jugular vein, and the unfortunate
woman died almost immediately. Howard arrived at the
moment the deed was done, and the deceased never spoke
after. Howard secured the prisoner immediately, exclaimed
Gou have made *job of it, and the prisoner said, " I hope
od will forgive me—thou halt me safe now." Howard
then asked ham why he had done it; and the prisoner replied,
" Its not me that did it,• its drink. I have spent all me
money, and I thought she had persuaded me to spend it."
He was then asked if he was drunk when he did the deed.
He said, " No. I have had nothing to drink this morning
but a little peppermint." On being asked if his friends were
te be written to, he gave someone their address. Almon said
to him, "Oh Sam what have you done ?" He replied,
"Give me thy hand ; its a done job. I shall never comeback
to your house any more." He then asked Abeon to
write to his brother; and said—" This woman hes been
saying something about me ependingmoney, and I thcrught
she was the devil, and I killed her." The state of the
prisoner's mind became a material question. It appeared
that he had been subject to epileptic fits, and that he bad
indulged greatly in liquor. On the Thursday before the
murder he cried in the presence of Abeon, regretted he had
spent his money foolishly, and complained of a noise in kis
head, and that he felt in a curious state of mind. After the
case for the prosecution was cloud, without hearing Mr.
Bliss for the defence, his lordship asked the jury to say whe-
ther they deemed the prisoner to have been Insane at the
time he committed the deed.—The jury consulted, and then
said that they acquitted the prisoner on the ground of in-
sanity. He was ordered to be detained in custody daring
the Queen's pleasure.
A THIMTWAINO Lerrea.—Hanricth Genoa and George
Gaunt, mother and son, were charged with sending a threat-
ening letter to John Todd, Esq , a magistrate of the mat
riding of York, imputing te him that he had forged a trans-
fer of stock in the Bank of England. The prisoners appeared
to be very reepectable. No evidence was offered against the
son ; and the female, by advice of her counsel, pleaded
guilty, and Mr. Overend, on her behalf, withdrew the impu-
tation against Mr. Todd. tile was sentenced to be imprisoned
for 14 days, which sentence would take date from the com-
mission day, and therefore was merely nominal.
CITATION OT ISOULNO A FOROND WAIT.—An indictment
against a solicitor at Sheffield, named Joseph Tamer was

consequence of the 'Marna of a material witness, and he was
acquitted.
The Yorkshire mixes concluded today at half-past two.

tion, and it had been decided that the society had the option
to advance the capital or return it.—Mr. Alderman Gibbs
said he was afraid he could not assist him. If he desired
again to refer it to arbitration, the previous decision might
only be confirmed, and he would be potting himself to an

Tot ANIIL•LIe FaieXD SOCIETY. TAemas Bentsen
Cabins, a discharged servant of this society, who had
been remanded from the previous Saturday, was charged
with obtaining money order false pretences.—Mr. Allan de-
posed that the prisoner celled at his place of business in
St. Paul's Churchyard, and requested from his eon the
payment of a subscription to the Animals' Friend Associa-
tion, as the name of the firm was down in the books moan an-
nual subscriber of 10s., producing at the same time a printed
prospectus of the institution. Mr. Allan. Jun., accordingly
gave him 10s., for which the prisoner wrote a receipt ; but
On the appearance of witness an explanation ensued,
in the course of which the prisoner said that the
" Animals' Friend Society" to which Mr. Allan
subscribed regularly was 4funet, and had been succeeded
by the " association." His replies to other inquiries being
unsatisfactory the prisoner was given into custody. Mr.
Allan then wrote to nearly all the gentlemen whose names
were printed in the prospectus as forming the committee of
the ',iodation; and their testimony was unanimous—that
they had not the slightest connection with the society, and
had never heard of its existence, until called upon by the
prisoner for trubscriptions, when be had succeeded in obtain-
ing small amounts from them.—Mr. Benetfink of Cheap-
side deposed that the prisoner had obtained half-a-down from
him in a similar manner to that described by Mr. Allan.—
Mr. Allan complained that no notice of the previous pro-
ceedings had appeared in the newspapers. having been appa-
rently suppressed. He was anxious that they should go
forth to the public —Mr. Elkins, the defendant's solicitor
contended that a cue of fraudulent intent had pot been made
out against the prisoner, inasmuch as a society called
" The Animals' Friend Association," if not actually
in existence, was in course of formation, and if there
was only one member on the commitlee authority
would be thus given to collect subscriptions. The
prisoner had hitherto borne an excellent character.
—The magistrate observed, that the public ought to be
obliged to Mr. Allan for haying exposed the ease • and,
although he did not think the evidence adduced sufficiently
strong to establish the false pretence, it approached so nearly
upon some points that he thought the public would be
undone for the future of listening to his representations.
He alluded in particular to the book in which the witness
entered his ouliption (it had the name of the Animals'
Friend Society stamped upon the cover, into which new
leaves appeared to have been inserted), as a strong point
against him. He bad, however, no alternative, upon looking
at the general evidence, but to discharge the prisoner. Still
he left him in the hands of Mr. Allan, to bring the matter
before a jury if he thought fit.—Mr. Allan declined any
further prosecution:
WORSHIP-STREET.—Broame. William Chadwin
was charged with having feloniously intermarried with Har-
riet Anderson, his first wife, Rebecca Chadwin, being still
living. Mary Ann Lucas deposed that she was present at
the marriage of her daughter with the prisoner, which was
solemnised at Hackney Church on the 12th of November,
1839. The parties continued to live together, but upon
very unhappy temp, until about two years ago, when the
prisoner suddenly deserted her daughter, after selling off the
whole of their effects, and nothing had been since seen of
him, until they ascertained that he had been taken into
custody. Harriet Anderson, &delicate-looking young woman,
who appeared painfully agitated whilst giving her evidence,
stated that she had been acquainted about 18 moeths with
the prisoner, who represented himself as a single man, and
professed the most ardent attachment towards her, and after
a "hod courtship they were last summer married at Green-
wich. They had only been a short time united when the
prisoner tauntingly told her that he had a former wife still
living, and that his marriage with her was a mere nullity.
In consequence of his constant harshness and cruelty she was
compelled to leave him. On the preceding evening he suc-
ceeded in discovering her, and, after conducting himself in
the moat outrageous manner, declared that he would smash
everything in the place. She reluctantly gave him into cus-
tody. It was far from her wish to proceed any further in
the matter, and she implored the magistrate to consent to
the prisoner's discharge, and permit her to abandon the pro-
secution.—Mr. Broughton said that he could not for a mo.
meat listen to such an application : it was his duty to commit
him for trial.

from the depression of continental exchanges for some
time past, that this drain of metallic values arises
principally from European demand, although the fact
cannot be exactly known, except to the exporters
themselves, as the bulk of such remittances is not
entered at the Custom-house, but dispatched by rail-
way and private steamer to the French coast.
The large redaction of other securities, tothe extent
of nearly a million, would not arise so much from draw
traction of the discount limit, although the bank me se
doubtbeginning to be less free with its accommodation,
as, from the repayment of the loans which it is usually
in the habit of makirg to a large amount on the di*
ting of the transfer books for the dividends. TM
payment of these loans is generally fixed to take place
whilst the payment of dividends is in progress, or im-
mediately afterwards, when the securities upon which
they are made are of course withdrawn, and represent
the less quantity denoted in the returns.

SATURDAY Brume°.
With, so far u business went, a quiet and inactive
market, the funds were still in decline to-day. Con-
sols ruled, with scarcely • variation, 881 to for
money, and 881 to / for account, and so left off. The
Bank averages for the last week were construed =-
favourably on the Stock Exchange, but in fact causes
heretofore dwelt upon, still weigh upon the market,
and oppose any present prospect of improvement lin
prices. Reduced Threes were 88t to 4. Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents., 90/ to /. Exchequer-bills, Bs.
to 115. premium. India Bonds, Ls. to 9s. premium.

The decrease under the head of other, or private,'
deposits comes in corroboration of the remarks some
days since en the growing tightness of money, and as
one of the consequences the withdrawing by country
bankers of their deposits with their town agencies and
the Bank of England. The egress of coin and bul-
lion begins to excite attention, not so much from the
weekly amount, which has not been of consideration
hitherto, as ftom the continuance of the outflow, and
its quantity in the aggregate. It may be assumed,
