Y OMML-rINOIXSTRATION IN
COONS L, MR. M. CAMERON.

(From the Torostu Leader, Jan. 21.)
The frieuds of Mr. B. G. Burley, in considers-
Mon of the ability and earnestness with which Mr. M. 0.
Cameron defended Burley In the Lake Erie mid ease, and
which has lately been before the recorder of Use city, deter-
mined upon showing Mr. Cameros some mark of their
seism and gratitude by serenading him attache of his real-
&nee lest night. They assembled at the Terrapin Restau.
east shortly after 8 o'clock, and some in sleighs which con-
tained a large number of ladies, sod some on loot, formed
Be procession, and, headed by the szoellent band of the
"Queen's Owe," marched up King-street and down Bay-
street to the Queen's Hotel, where their raska were
augmented. After leaving the Queen's they proceeded
up York-street, down Kiog-etreet, and thence to
the residence of Mr. Cameron, the band playing
on the way that inspiring tune, " The Bonnie Blue Flag,"
sad other Southern air. The crowd by the time they hid
arrived at Mr. Cameron's house must have numbered sere&
husdred. A large sleigh, drawn by four horses, come mist
this moment, loaded with an enthusiastic crowd of persons,
from an eastern direction, jest as the prooselisa arrived.
Upon halting the band struck up" God save the Queen,"
followed by other popular airs. Mr. Cameron appeared to
be quite taken by surprise, sod expressed astonishment at
so spontaneous a demonstration. Loud calls were soon
made for the gentleman whom they had met to honour, end
he soon made his appearance at the door, amid deafening
cheers.

After • few well chosen remarks from Mr. St. Lawrence,
• major in the Confederate army, Mr. Cameron addressed
the assemblage. The following are • few of the polite in
bit speech which we were enabled to gather. He said that
be felt very mach complimented at so eatlawleetie a de-
moostratin is his behalf, for it wee very flattering to hod
that his humble barrios. had been so much appreciated. He
felt that In • British oolooy like Canada every man
living upon British soil, when arraigned for any offence,
is entitled to a fair trial, whether he be Federal or Con-
federate. If we, either by our coins or by the tribunals
which govern the countr►, show partiality to rite aide
more than to the other, we destroy the liberty which
has made us free. (Cheers.) He felt, in relation to Bur
ley, that be was no common robber, but that be bed a
noble object In view. His was merely a belligerent act ;
as such it ought to be viewed by our courts, and Barley
ought to have the approbation of the people of this country,
rather than their condemnation. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Came-
ron) believed that there was yet a fair chance of Burley
being released, for our government would never give bim
up without the consent of the borne government. There
was no man who felt more strongly than he did that
any violation or infraction of our laws should be punished
to the e•tent which the law allowed ; but he felt that
Barley should never be given up to what was
Certain destruction. It would be wrong to Mara
that man over to the mercies of the Federal govern-
ment. (Renewed cheers.) lie was a British bon sub-
ject, sod chose to enter the ranks of the Confederate
army, whom he believed to be fighting for freedom. By
the law of nations it was laid down that if the men were
only engaged in acts of belligerency, and subeequently took
refuge in a country at peace, that they should not be given
op to the governmeut of the country against whom they bad
committed acts of warfare. lie (Mr. Cameron) had per.
serially been threatened by • letter from • person in the
States, that if be continued to pursue the *mime he bad
been doing io defending Mr. Burley, his life and property
would certainly be sacrificed. (Derisive cheers and
laughter.) But be believed that be still had British
blood flowing in Ma veins, and wee not to be
frightened by such threats, neither wnld he shriek from
doing what be considered his duty. (Load shears.) He
fat, too, that Mx. Barley would yet repave justice,
for the government would never extradite the man
without the mention of Great Britain, who always
held mend the right of asylum to everyone; and
the government of the country would not, in his
opinion, authorise the surrender of Barley. (Great cheer-
ing.) is coeclusion he thanked the Nadine§ very heartily
for their warm demonstration, and believed that they
might rest neared that any man coming to this country
trusting for protection that trust woold never be be-
tripod. Mr. Cameron then retired amid load and pro-
tracted cheers.
Three cheers were subsequently given for the Queen,
three for Burley, and three for Jeff. Davis. The bead thee
played "Cod Save the Queen," and the large assemblage
nietly dispersed.

This was an action to leaver the amount of • medical

Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Needham, were counsel for the
plaintiff ; the tiolicitor.tanegal acid Mr. H. T. Cele for the
defsedant.
The plaintiff is a surgeon In Oil Burlingtoentrest,
and senior surgeon to the Rival Orthopedki Hos-
pital, and the defendants are the executrix sad
executor of the late Mr. Cosine, • barrister as the
Western Circuit. la 1861 Kr. Oases, who was then
alive, brought to the plaintiff his daughter, who was suffer-

long standing and difficult, and its cure required care
on account of its interfering with the most important
f nada, of the body. The plaintiff's charge woe a alma
a visit, and he clamed 218 guineas for se many visite paid
by him to the young lady for his advice and saatance.
The plaudit said he was not aware of the deceased's
circumstances, but be considered from his poidtion
that he was well.to.do. It was usual for the visits
to be paid for at the time, but when they were
oecasionalle allowed to run on the account was

visits cased. Six medial gentlemen were called in
_by the
deceased in four mouths, but they failed to acoomplia the
object in view. The deoeued paid Min a guinea ce the fint
visit, and be had never charged less except in cases of
charity.
Wit-names were called to show that a guinea • visit was
the usual charge of a consulting surgeon of eminence, but
there were climunstances where lees was charged and others
more. Fast-clam medical min would, it was said, have
first-class fees, ad his lordship observed that it was not
confined to the medical profearion.
The Lord Chief Justice (in coosequencis of the Solicitor-
Gooses' directieg the attention of the witnesses to the feet
that some comulting surgeons charged much ism than e
guinea • visit) —said the question here was bow much the
plaintiff, who was a man of eminence in his profession. was
accustomed to charge, and VIM entitled to receive. He
could well understaud that to young men struggling for
practice it might be worth their wale to take lower fees
than men who bad attained ealiosace and celebrity. Why

After some further evidence with regard to the fairness
of the charge,
The Solicitor-Gaeral mid he felt after the evidence that
had been given that be ought Dot to keep the defines up
longer. Yr. COMM was • gentleman of small aging, end
the executors had defended the aetioo, thinking be would
hardly have assented to pay more than he could afford. It
was, however. impossible for him to straggle against the
evidence that had ban gives.
The Lord Chief Justice said the learned solicitor had exer-
cised a wise and proper discretion in aloptigg that nurse.
The jury thee returned a verdict for the plaintiff for
991. 15a. more than the sum paid iota court.

COURT OF EXCREQUER.
Sittings at Nisi Prins at Westminster.—(Before Mr.
Baron Martin sad a Comma) Jury.)
TREEMAD r. LOtDOI ArD NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY
OOMPLIIT.
This was an action 10 recover damages for delay in the
delivery of the good. entrusted to the defericiaste for convey-
ance from Manchester to West Orheatead, is Bases&
Mr. E. JRIII,II, Q.C., and Mr. Patchett were comes' for
the plaintiff ; Mr. Kemplay represented the defendants.
It appeared that the plaintiff exhibited oil cake of his
manufacture at the Agricultural Show at Weeeestro, in
1863. A farmer, named Board, near Horsham. In Basesx,
saw the cake and bought one toe. The plaintiff applied to
the railway ooropany for " through" truck to seed it in to
its destination, and they placed one at his service. The cake
was loaded on the track nu the 27th of November and
despatched for Buret, but it did not arrive in due course,
and the farmer °Dahl obtain so information about it either
at the West Grinstead or Horsham station. He was
put to considerable exposes in getting other oil-
cake. It appeared that the truck did Dot arrive
uatil the 17th of December, and that the delay had
arisen from its being misdirected. The farmer said be used
betimes: 4301. and 500/. worth of oil cake in the year, and
that though hie cattle seemed to like and thrive upon the
cake supplied by the plaintiff, he refused to order arty more
from him in consequence of the uncertainty es to
the delivery by the company. He would he .quite satis-
fied if he could get it within a week ofelite being ordered.
Thß being the case for the plaintiff, Mr. Kemplay, on
the part of the company, submitted that there was no
evidence to go to the jury. The proper party to bring the
action was Mr. Scard, the consignee of the goods, not the
plaintiff, who was the vendor.
Mr. James said there wu no privity between the con-
signee and the company.
Mr. Baron Martin said Mr. Kemplay was quite right.
When a vendor delivered goods to a carrier to be
seat to the voider, the property in them was
by that act vested in the vendee, and he wee
the party to bring the 'Woo. The vendor made the 000-
tract with the carrier as agent for the vendee. The plaintiff
must, therefore, be nonsoited.
Mr. James asked for leave to move the coed above upon
the point.
Mr. Baron Martin--Certhinly not. It is sot right to
give leave to move on a well•established rule of law. The
rule I hove mentioned may be right or wrong, but it has
been acted upon as long as .1 can recollect.
The plaintiff was then nonanited.
