THE DISPUTED RACE AT DONCASTER.
CANE.—The owner of Kapok Knoll objects to the owner
of Nancy receivinej the Betting Room Stakes at Doncaster,
because she earned snore than 2lbs. above her proper weight,
the conditions of the race bctng that a winner once in
18.500 r 1861 should carry 31b1. ; twice, 611 n. exist." Nancy
won one race in 1530, and one race in 1861.
CAPTAIN Rous's °PIN totc—l find by the official report
of the clerk of the course that she carried 9st 21b, very tine
weight. This weight, 9st 21b, in my opinion, she was
bound to carry. The conjunction (or) coupled the two
events. Nancy is therefore entitled to the Betting Room
Stakes.

EDINAVIGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY COMPANY
v. THI MAGISTRATILA AND TOWN COFNCIL OF LINLITH-
00W.—RMIGH CVSTWIS AND BRIMS CUSTOMS.
The questions raised in this appeal against interlocutors
of the courts in Scotland were two (as stated in our former
report) ; first, whether the respondents, as representing
the community of their burgh, were entitled to exact cer-
tain dues, called burgh customs, on goods, cattle, and other
commodities carried by the appellants through the burgh
by their railway; and secondly, whether the respondents
were entitled to exact from the appellants other dues, called
bridge customs, on cattle and other commodities carried by
the latter across the river Avon by their viaduct, which
passes between the burgh bridge on tho Avon and the
mouth of that river.
The Lord Ordinary, on the hearing of the cause, pro-
nounced an interlocutor in December, 1844, to this effect :
That royal charters of 1389 and 1593, and ratificatious
thereof by the Scotch parliament in 1.594 and 16b1, gave the
respondents a title to levy dues and customs not only on
goods or other things brought within the burgh for sale
and consumption there, but also on goods, &e., carried
through the burgh; that prior to the appellants' parlia-
mentaqy acts of incorporation, the respondents had, and
had exercised, the right to levy such dues and customs on
goods and other things, whether brought within or carried
out of, or passing, or carried through the burgh; and the goods
and other things transported by the railway of the appellants
were not, by their said acts, exempted from liability to such
dues and customs, &c. And as to the bridge customs, the
interlocutor stated that, by an art of the Scotch paella:tient
of 1085, a grant was made to the magistrates of Linlithgow
and their successors, empowering them to levy certain dues
or customs, as then paid by passengers and travellers, with
cart-loads, pack-loads, cattle, horse, &c., according to usage,
passing the said river between the west bridge and the
river's mouth ; that the respondents, therefore, had a right
to levy such customs at any point of passage across
the Avon, whether formerly used or, when brought
into use, within the bounds mentioned in the
I art of 1085, except at any point where an exemption from
such dues was established by evidence of 10 years usage,
that there was no such exemption established Si to the
point where the river is crossed by the appellants' viaduct, and
therefore goods, cattle, and other things carried by the said
viaduct in the carriages of the appellants were liable to dues
and customs. The judges of the first division of the Court
of Session on appeal adhered to the said interlocutor of the
Lord Ordinary by an order made in July, 1845. An appeal
was brought in this house against both the interlocutors,
and was argued at some length two sessions ago, but the
house then remitted the ease to the court below for a fur-
ther consideration of the points in dispute by all the judges.
These points have been since considered, and the appeal has
come on now with the opinions of the 13 judges of the Court
of Session, the great majority of them concurring in the in-
terlocutors before stated.
Mr. Bothell and Mr. Hope (with whom was also Me.
Penney, of the Scotch bar) were heard last Monday and
Thursday for the appellants. They contended that the
alleged gills, burgh customs, were prejudicial to the public,
and therefore contrary to law ; that, though ouch customs
might be legally granted and levied is respect of cattle or
goods brought into the burgh fur sale and consumption
there, or brought there and carried out of it, the facilities
afforded by the burgh authorities for such purposes being
a consideration for such customs, yet there was no colour of
right to such customs on cattle or goods carried through
the burgh by a new public highway which was entirely in-
dependent of the burgh ; that the carriage of goods by the
appellants' carriage in their viaduct over the Avon was also
exempt from dues to the burgh, the viaduct being an en-
tirely new crossing of the river at a point distant trum the
bridges, over which the respondents right to dues was not
questioned, and from any point of former crossing. They
also contended that the appellants were subject to no dues
or customs beyond those to which they were subjected by
their nets of parliament.
I Mr. Inglis (of the Scotch bar) and Mr. Rolt (with whom
was also Mr. Anderson), for the respondents, relied on the
said charters, and ratifications of them by parliament, and
on immemorial usage, a+ entitling them to levy burglieustonis
on all goods carried through the burgh by the appellants'
carriages ; and bridge custom., also, on all goods carried by
them across the river ut any point within the jurisdiction of
the burgh ; that if the appellants had any right of camp •
tion, the onus of proving it lay on them, and they gave no
such proof; and that the appellants' acts of parliament, so
tar from giving them exemption, declared that nothing'
therein contained should be construssl to take away or i
abridge any right of the magistrates of Linlithgow, under
charters, acts of parliament, or immemorial usage, to leer
dues on cattle, goods, &c., pawing or carried over the River
Avon at any point thereof, by any ford or bridge, or by any
viaduct that may be erected 'cross the water of Avon byl
the appellants.
Thu arguments were not concluded at Hie rising of their
lordships, when the further hearing was adjourned.
