BEATH O. CRAPYAN.—DRAGONETTI'S WILL.
This trial was instituted for the administration of the
estate of Signor Drogonetti, tho celebrated double bass
player, who gave various sums for charitable purposes and
the residue to ho divided between his nearest of blood. A
reference was directed to the Master, to ascertain who were
the nearest of blood of the testator ; and the master certified
that it would be necessary to examine witnesses residing in
Italy for that purpose.
Mr. Stuart now moved, on behalf of the executors, for
a commission, in order to obtain the sanction of the court
to the expense being incurred out of the estate.
The Solicitor-General and Mr. James, who appeared for
the crown, opposed the motion on the ground that the ex-
pense ought to be borne by the parties who wished fur the
commission, and not by the estate of the testator.
Mr. Stuart submitted that the crown had an interest in
preventing the inquiry.
Lord Cranworth said the ordinary rule was that the ex-
pense should fall upon the parties themselves if they chose
to take out a commission. No grounds had been shown
why the court should itself direct the commission, but he
would allow the case to stand over in order that further
evidence might be produced upon that subject.
IN ax THE GMAT NORTH OP ENGLAND AND YORK-
SHIRE AND GLASGOW UNION JUNCTION RAILWAY COM-
PANY, EIPAZTE THOMAS ENGLAND.—LIABILITY or CON-
TRIBUTORIES.
Mr. Bethell and Mr. Bsggslly moved in this case that the
name of Mr. England might be struck off the list of con-
tributories. The Master had included his name upon the
following evidence:—lt appeared that the scheme fur
making the railway was projected in 1815, and after a
few months it became abortive, and fell to the ground.
A provisional and executive committee had been appointed,
and Mr. England had attended a meeting when the several
persons forming such committees were appointed, he him-
self being one of the executive committee. At the same
meeting it was resolved that 100 shares should be offered to
all the members of the provisional committee, and 1.50
shares to all members of the executive committee. It fur-
ther appeared that Mr. England, upon leaving the commit-
tee, directed the secretary to let him have 100 shares, but
n i formal allotment was actually made, and no formal ac-
ceptance of the shares ever took place. Mr. England at-
tended no other meetings of the committee.
Mr. Roxburgh, for the official manager, contended that
this case came within the principle of Upfill's -case, since
Mr. England had taken shares as an executive committee-
man.
Lord Cranworth said it was a very disagreeable thing to
deal with these cases, but his decision must be formed upon
legal principles. It had been decided that no one amid be
a contributory except where they had incurred a legal lia-
bility. The Master, in placing a person upon the list of
contributories, was bound to say that such person had in-
curred some legal liability. It appeared that Mr. England
had attended a meeting at which he consented to his own
name being placed on the committee, and he had consented
to a resolution for allotting a certain number of shares to
the committee ; but he had not attended any other meet-
ings, and there was no evidence to show that he had ac-
cepted shares or incurred any liability in the appointment
of paid officers or the direction of any expenses. As to
Upfill's ease, he had already expressed that he did not un-
derstand the principle upon which it was decided • and
unless any case brought before him exactly aseempenied
with that, he should not act upon it. As there we as paid
here of the acceptance of shares he considered that Weenie
was distinguishable from Uptill's, and under thus dastm-
stances be should order Mr. England's name to be removed
from the list of contributories.

THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE
RAILWAY C V. TuE GREAT NORTHERN RAIL-
WAY COXPANY.
In thiscase it appeared that the Great Northern Railway
Company were empowered by their act, passed in June,
1846, to take a certain piece of land at Itetford forming part
of the property of the East Retford Hospital, and that •
power to take the same piece of land was also given to the
plaintiffs by their act, which did not pass till August, 1816.
In 1819 the plaintiffs completed their railway, having
previously purchased the piece of land in ques-
tion. The Great Northern Company afterwards pro-
ceeded with the construction of their line to York ;
and being compelled to cross the plaintiffs' line at
Retford, they in 1848 entered into a treaty with the plain-
tiffs for the joint use of lands at the crossings and stations.
This treaty was not carried through, and the Great North-
ern then gave notice to the plaintiffs of their intention to
take the parcel of land in question under the powers of
their act.
Kr. Bethel' (with whom were Mr. Matins and Mr. G. L.
Reeeell) now moved for an injunction to restrain the de-
Mimes from proceeding to issue their summons to a jury,
to assortola the value of the piece of land in question, and
frost ediorwise interfering with the posseuion thereof by
the plelatlilk. The learned counsel contended that one
railway msapany could not under the common powers take
She had ofmother, or cross another at level. lit support
of thlogusmidsa they cited the C 440 of " The Queen v.
tin Ilettle Ada Railway Company," and contended that
the ibehaends could not entitle themselves to the posses-
ASS Of IMMI of the land except by agreement with the
Ltilloe by obtaining an express power for the purpose
arbliament.
Mr. Bolt and Mr. Denison, for the defendants, submitted
that no ground had been made for the interference of a
court of equity to restrain the defendants from exercising
any legal power they might hare to take the land in ques-
tion ; and that if on the other hand they bad no such
power conferred upon them, none of the steps they
.had
taken would avail to effect the object, or cause any injury
to the plaintiffs.—The argument in replylwu reserved for
to-morrow (this day.)

COZEN O. SIR GEoROB 011.11T.—Tui Cirssus.
. .

This was en action fur the recovery of 10d., brought by
Mr. Cohen against the Home Secretary.
Mr. Philpot, for the plaintiff, said Mr. Cohen had been
:Lindone of the enumerators in taking the census
as
h, IS ik 14 Viet, cap. 63. The second clause of the
met gave the Secretary of State the superintendence of its
executkoi. The late census was different from preceding
ones ; the plan was more detailed, and required more effi-
cient egsmga. No legal man would engage in it under a
sum al Ivo guineas, yet the enumerators employed had to
ogled ES ammo with their particulars for 18e. If more
then ill soma were collected, 1m was to be paid for
ivory SO aim, and the point about to bo raised
wea, whether If the 60 were not collected, the
esthassrators could or could not claim for the tru-
dged parts. In the present case, the plaintiff had col-
lated 60 extra names, for which he claimed 10d., not for the
ammat of the money, but for the substantiation of a prin.
dpia. If at the end of the 300 an enumerator saw there
was no likelihood of making up his 60, he might stop short
there, and then what havoc would be made, sod how nu-
gatory would a measure be rendered which was considered
of so much importance, and where so much exactness was
nmitter ;cane further observations, Mr. Philpot called Sir
George Grey, Bart.
Mr. Webby, who appeared for the right hon. defendant,
said Sir 0. Grey was not in attendance. On his behalf,
however, he (Mr. Webby) would admit the facts relating
to the rule on which the enumerators had been paid, and
that Sir George Grey had sanctioned the instructions.
Sir G. Grey was anxious that the persons employed
should be paid for the fractional numbers, but he had
been preened by the Treasury, which had laid down the
rule that those numbers could not be properly paid for out
of the public money, and stated that if they were paid,
the House of Commons would disallow that part of the ac-
. .

wilrPkilpot urged the manifest injustice and arbitrary
character of this rule, the principle of which would seem
very unnatural to the well-paid easy-going officers of the
Treasury, if applied to their remuneration.
Mr. Se ''aunt Manning said he would reserve his judg-
mant on the question until Tuesday next.

IMPORTANT MOVEMENT Is SUPPOLIE.—AGRICEL-
TVRAL RZLINT ASSOCIATION.-011 Thursday last, June
19, • meeting of tenant farmers, and others interested in
agriculture, was held at Stowmarket (being the central
market town in the county) to discuss the measures re-
quired to mitigate the unequal pressure under which the
farming body is euffering. After some discussion, in which
all present expressed their decided sense of the uselessness
of agitating for the re-imposition of protection, an associa-
tion was formally organised i
for the purpose of agitating
the county in favour of the objectsn view, viz., the exer-
cise of the strictest economy in all the private and public
expenses to which the farmer is liable. Another funda-
mental principle was the promotion of the objects of
the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Associa-
tion, in the hope that that association would assist the free-
trade portion of the agriculturists in their efforts to obtain
fair and unexchisive justice. The following resolutions were
unanimously, agreed to :—" 1. That this meeting cordially
concurs in the sentiments expressed in the memorial which
has been read, and is desirous that an association be formed
for the purpose of obtaining relief from the burdens which
press peculiarly upon agriculture, and also of inviting the
co-operation of the National Parliamentary and Financial
Reform Association. 2. That an association be forthwith
formed to be called the Suffolk Agricultural Relief
Association,' and that • minimum subscription of 2a.
per annum shall entitle any penon to become • member.
& That the following be the objects of the Suffolk
Agricultural Relief Alsoehniea:-1. The repeal of the
malt tax. 2. The alteastion of the present unjust tithe
=3. An equitable memare of tenant right. 4. A
ugh revision of the_pecimt mode of m•aaging the
county expenditure. & TM abolition of the gams Lws.
