COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Nov. 8.

&icings in Batom.—(Before the Lord Chief Brron, and
Barone Martin, Bramwell, and Pigott.)
WOODHOUSE V. DICKER.

This was an action for maliciously causing a ca. sa. to be
issued for a debt and costa in respect of a debt which had
been paid, and at the trial in Middlesex, before Mr. Baron
Martin. the plaintiff was nonsuited.

Mr. Charles; Pollock, Q.C., now moved for a new trial on
the ground of misdirection.
The plaintiff had become indebted to the defendant for
a considerable unto upon bills of exchange, and had em-
ployed Messrs. Con and Co., the army agents, to sell his
commission for the purpose of discharging that and other
claims. Subsequently and after a settlement had been
effected, the plaintiff, when out shooting with some friends
in Surrey, was tweeted by a sheriff's officer, ender s ea. sa.,
at the suit of the defendant, and taken to Petworth gaol,
where he remained until he could arrange with his friends
for the payment of the money alleged to be due, a period
of eight days. The question now raised turned upon a
rather comp!icated state of facts as to the settlement
made between Messrs. Con and the defendant.

The eotut graleed • rule ail/.
r. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COMPANY.

The plaintiff in this case sued the defendants, am com-
mon earners' for not carrying him safely and securely,
according to contract, on their railway between Gower
street and Chapel-street. It appeared that be was one of
a party of forr, and on arriving at their destination he
Landed, as he represented, four tickets to the collector.
whereupon the latter declared that he had only received
three, and a squabble ensued. The plaintiff was thrust
out of the door by two officers of the conipany, and is try-
ing to recover Isis footing he seized bold of the get*, and
ha doing so got his fingers jammed. The trial took place
is Middlesex before Mr. Barn. Martin, when a verdict was
returned far the plaintiff—daresges 20r.
Mr. Harrison, on behalf of the company, now moved for
a sew trial on the ground of misdirection. The learned
counsel submitted that as the plaintiff had been safely car-
ried, the alleged offence having been committed after the
journey had been completed, he could not recover upon
the (loaminess in the form in which it appeared.

SERIOUS CONFLAGRATION: AT A DURHAM

COLLIERY.

ONE MAN KILLED AND THE Limn OF TWO
HUNDRED MEN AND BOYS ENDANGERED.
On Thursday morning, about 2 o'clock, a fire
broke out at the Eppleton pit—one of the collieries belong.
ing to the Helton Coal Company, about six miles east
of Durham—which resulted in the total destruction of all
the woodwork in connexion with the Jane Pit. The
pits at Eppleton work night and day. The whole
of the fore-shift men had gone down, and the last
cage full of men was in the shaft, when the engineman
observed that the flames had reached the pulley-frames,
when he at once brought them to bank. Sixteen waggons,
laden with coal, standing near the screens, also took hold
and were totally destroyed. The smoke arising from the
whole poured down the shafts (there being two pits, the
Jane and Caroline), which at once endangered the lives
of about 200 men and boys. The Hetton Colliery Horn
gave the alarm, and speedily the officials were on the
spot. A little after 4 o'clock the pulley frames belonging
to the Jane pit feU, which rendered at once the exit of
the men and boys from the pit impossible; but happily
there is a connecting way between the Eppleton and the
Hetton Colliery pits, by which means assistance arrived,
and all the men and boys belonging to the Jane pit were
got through and drawn at Hetton. The wood-work belong.
tog to the Caroline side did not suffer from the Homes, but
the workmen suffdred from the smoke. The officials at
once descended the shaft, and sent away the men and boys,
many of whom were drawn up in a senseless state, and one
of the men, named Berryman, was not found till after a
long search. The whole of the men and boys were got up
alive, but one named Robert Thompson soon afterwards
died. Fire-engines being procured from several places
adjacent, the tire was extinguished, Thompson was a
married man, and has left a wife and large family.—York

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Nov. 8.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
I\ ILE LIEUTENANT-COLONEL DICIESoN.
This was a sitting for examination and discharge in the
came of Samuel Auchmuty Dickson, described as a lieu-
tenant-colonel in her Majesty's Royal Limerick County
Regiment of Militia, formerly member of parliament for
the county of Limerick, and late of Wellington-square,
Chelsea. The bankrupt ascribes his failure to insufficiency
of income, heavy losses through the failure of others, and
heavy electioneering expenses. The aggregate liabilities are
1iti,730f., but security is held to the amount of 43,0001.
An adjournment was ordered with a view to the investi-
gation of certain proofs, in support of which evidence was
reired from Bombay.

LI PASTE NICHOLLS.

The above company was formed in 1865, with a capital
of 40,00 W., in 10,000 shares, for the purpose, as stated in a
prospectus issued in that year, of producing and rearing
poultry, and by that means of providing a cheap and
nutritious substitute for dear butchers' meat. The pro-
spectus contemplated the renting of a small farm for this
purpose at Kattern Bourn, Shenley, Herts. The pro-
spectus stated that the company was " to be registered,"
and that articles of association were to be seen at
the company's offices. (These articles were merely
Table A of the company's act, 1862, which were
afterwards registered.) Having seen this prospectus
Mr. John Gough Nicholls, of 2.5, Eaton-place, Brighton, on
the Bth of December, applied for thirty shares, which were
afterwards allotted to Mtn. On the 28th of December the
memorandum of association was registered, which ex-
tended the objects of the company to "fanning and market
gardening." Some calla were made, and Mr. Nicholls was
sued for non-payment. He then investigated the matter,
and in January of this year discovered this important
variation in the objects of the company as registered from
those stated in the prospectus. He now moved to hare
his name removed from the list of shareholders, on the
authority of "Stewart's," and other well known cases.
Mr. Everitt and Mr. Lewin appeared for Mr. Nicholls ;
Mr. W. M. James, Q.C., and Mr. Owen for the company.
The Vice-Chancellor said he was unwilling to apply the
harshdesignation of " fraud" to these proceedings, whereby
a company constituted for certain objects, and having ob-
tained public support on that understanding, extended its
operations to several other widely different objects. Sonic
persons might think it right awl honest to do this. His
Honour did not ; and he thought it was never too late for
a shareholder who had been thus imposed upon to apply
for relief, unless be bad compromised himself by taking
profits in the company. Was he to be bound because a
number of persona calling themselves directors chose to
vary and extend the ,terms of the original contract'
There was no evidence to show that the articles of associa-
tion were registered at the time when the application for
shares was made ; and in any case the prospectus did not
say anything about the memorandum
which contained the
whole ding of the matter. Nor could the articles of luso-
dation have given a subscriber a hint of what was about to
be done by the directors. Mr. Nicholls's name must be re-
moved from the list of members, and the motion allowed.
London, England, 1867-02-22

THE BISHOP OP EXETER I. MARSHALL.

This appeal was partly heard in June last. The ques-
tion was whether • bishop of the church of England had
power to require from • clerk who came to be instituted
into • living in his diocese a testunonial from the bishop
of the diocese in which he had previously held • living, of
his honest conversation, ability, and conformity with the
ecclesiastical laws. In 1858 the Rev. Mr. Reid, formerly
of St. John's College, (..b.mbridge was presented by Mr.
Marshall, the respondent, to the rectory of Tregony with
the vicarage of Cuby, in the county of Cornwall
and the diocese of Exeter, having previously been
rector of Claughton in the diocese of Manchester.
He brought to the Bishop of Exeter, the appellant,
a testimonial signed by three beneficed in the
diocese of Manchester, and countersigned by the bishop of
that diocese, who added these words, " The subscribers
are beneficed clergymen in the diocese of Manchester.
Mr. Reid was long non-resident in my diocese, but I know
' no reason why he should be legally hindered from being
allowed to take other duty." The bishop, not considering
this testimonial sufficient, refused to institute Mr. Reid,
and on the lapse of six months collated another ele
to the living. It seemed that charges of simony had been
made against Mr. Reid, but that he had denied then.
' truth. Thereupon Mr. Marshall proceeded against the
Bishop of Exeter, in the shape of an action of quare im-
pedit, in the Court of Common Pleas ; and that court de-
' tided, upon demurrer, in favour of Mr. IdarahalL After-
wards, the Court of Exchequer Chamber affirmed the
judgment of the Court of Common Picas, on the
ground that, under the canons of the church,
the Bishop of Exeter had no right to require •
testimonial from the bishop of the diocese in
which Mr. Reid had formerly held a living. From this
decision the Bishop of Exeter appealed, and last session
Sir Roundell Palmer, Q.C., was heard in his behalf, his
argument extending over two days.
Mr. Philpotta, who also appeared for the appellant, was
heard to-day, and had not concluded his argument when
the time for adjournment arrived.
. .

The Lord Chancellor said that two of the judges would
have to leave town on Monday for the assizes, and their
lordships would not like the arguments to go on in the
absence of those learned judges. He supposed it would be
impossible to bring the arguments to a close to-morrow.
Sir H. Collier, Q.C., who with Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and
Mr. Bowen, appeared for the respondent, said he did not
think there would be any chance of the arguments termi-
nating on that day.
The further hearing of the case was then postponed
until to-morrow.

CATTLE PLAGUE.

Mr. FORDYCE asked the Vice-President of the Council
whether, in awarding compensation to the owners of cattle
killed before the passing of the Cattle Plague Act, it was
the intention of government to include in such compensa-
tion counties which defrayed such expenses at the time
from local funds.

Mr. CORRY maid that wherever compensation had been
received for slaughtered cattle out of the public rates or
other funds raised for the purpose, the government would
reduce the amount of compensation it gave by that which
the owner of diseased cattle had already received.

DEPUTATION TO THE POSTHA.`4TER•GRNERAL.

Another deputation, also consisting principally of mem-
bers of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, waited
upon his Grace the Duke of Montrose and Mr. Hunt
(Secretary to the Treasury) at Whitehall. The deputa-
tion was introduced by Mr. W. E. Forster, H.P., Sir F.
Crossley, M.P., Colonel Akroyd, M.P., Mr. E. Baines,
M.P., and Mr. H. F. Eeaumont, M.P. The members of
the deputation brought before the Duke of Montrose and
Mr. Hunt the questions of the rate of postage charged
upon letters sent abroad, and particularly to America,
and asked that the matter might be taken in hand by
government with • view to a reduction ; explained
that the emaciation was anxious for an inquiry as to
which would be the best part at which to land and em-
bark the West Indian mails, and also suggested an in-
quiry with a view to ascertaining whether or no it would
not be better to have telegraphic communication under
the control of the State. His Grace the Duke of Montrose
replied that so soon us the present contract with the
Cunard Company for conveying the American mails
expired fresh arrangements would be made, and a reduc-
tion of the rate would probably result. The government
had already decided upon choosing a westerly port for
the landing and embarkation of the West Indian
mails, but were not yet decided whether to choose
Plymouth or Falmouth ; and that the remarks of the de-
putation upoa the subject of telegraphic communication
should have serious consideration. His grace said be should
like to have an expression of opinion as to whether the
association desired that the homeward and outward mails
should both be landed and embarked westward, or whether
their wishes only extended to the homeward walla. The
general opinion seemed to be in favour of landing and em-
barking both at a western port.
In answer to Alderman Stebbing, the Duke said that
Southampton w►s out of the question.
The deputation thanked his grace, and withdrew.

TO THE EDITOR 01 THE EXPRIVIN.

Sna,—The coal merchants of London had an
interview on Saturday last with Lord Delmore and Sir
Richard Mayne in reference to the sixth ChM/ 3 of the
above bill, now before parliament, which prohibits the
trade from delivering coal after 10 a.m. until 1 at night,
within the four miles radius. I am one of a numerous
class of greengrocers who trade in coal, and not having the
means of appealing to such high quarters, except through
the medium of the press, trust you will give publicity to
the fact, that the provisions of the bill would cause ruin to
many of my class, and advance the price of coal at least
ss. per ton to all consumers. To the poor it would be a
serious matter, especially in the winter months, when from
the slippery state of the roads it would be impossible for
us to obtain and deliver the supplies to our customers by
the appointed hour.-1 am, do., HENRY GODDEN.

THE BOROUGH FRANCHISE.

Lord STRATHEDEN moved, "That in the opinion of
this home, in any further scheme to amend the Reform
Act of 18..12, and increase the body of electors, it is not
desirable or necessary that all boroughs should return
members by the same qualification." The noble lord said
if it was determined to take political power out of the
hands of the middle class, his proposal would have the
effect of preventing it from falling into the hands of a
mere numerical majority. He was in favour of the prin-
ciple of plurality of voting, but as parliament would not
accept that principle it would be necessary, if the lot.
qualification was disturbed, to give different qualifications
in the same borough.
Earl GREY said the whole question deserved serious
consideration, but it was highly inconvenient to select one
part of it and leave other points of importancenntouched.
He hoped the great question of reform would be brought
before their lordships at such a time as to afford theni a
full opportunity of considering it, and that the govern-
ment would follow the precedent of 1833, when the ques-
tion of the abolition of 'Jimmy was discussed in the House
of Commons upon resolutions which when agreed to were
sent up to the House of Lords.
The Earl of DERBY was glad to find that noble lords
were anticipating an early opportunity of considering the
question of reform, and that the proposal to deal with it
by resolutions met with their approvaL With regard to
the motion before the house, he declined now to discuss
the character or provisions of a bill which had not yet
been submitted. He declined to accept Lord Stratheden's
description of the bill about to be introduced into the
House of Commons. Certainly there was no intention to
bring in a bill to which such a character could be applied.
He did not think Earl Grey's suggestion could be adopted
with advantage, and he believed, from the spirit dis-
played by the House of Commons, that there was a real
desire to arrive at a satisfactory settlement at as early a
date as possible. The resolution of Lord Stratheden could
not be adopted, as it was merely a negative resolution,
which did not advance the subject a single step.
Earl RUSSELL admitted that the resolution was vague,
but said the same term might be applied to the resolutions
about to be submitted to the House of Commons, for
after rending them be was at a loss to know what they
really meant.
Lord REDESDALE remarked that the question was
one which affected the constitution of the House of Com-
mons, who might regard it as a breach of privilege to be
asked to send up the resolutions they agreed to before they
had framed a bill upon them.
„...... .

Earl GREY denied that it was a question affecting the
privileges of the House of Commons. On the contrary,
it was a question that deeply affected the interests of
every Englishman.
After a few observations from Earl GrtanviLLE the
motion was withdrawn.

LANCASTER ELECTION.

Colonel W. PATTEN said that, finding the report which
he had intended to ask for was now on the table, he begged
to ask when it would be printed and circulated amongst
members, as the publication of extracts from it was causing
much uneasiness. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. WALPOLE replied that this report, as well as the
other reports for Reigate, Yarmouth, and Tomes, were all
directed to be laid on the table the same day. He believed
it was for the officers of the house to see that they were
duly circulated, and the matter woe out of his hands. As
to the circulation of portions of the Lancaster report he
did not know how they were obtained. It was most un-
desirable that parts of such reports should be so circulated.

,
Mr. Alderman LUSK expressed • hope that the duty
would be strictly enforced. In towns a great nuissnoe was
caused by dogs kept by people who could hardly keep
themselves.

Mr. BARROW trusted that there would be no exemption
in favour of puppies. (Laughter.)
Mr. REED entirely acquiesced in the abolition of the
existing exemption of farmers' stock dogs ; but regretted
that under this bill no higher duty would be paid for
ladies' lap dogs and sporting dogs than for the dogs of
shepherds and rat-catchers.
The second reading was agreed to.
RAILWAY DEBENTURES BILL

On the motion of Mr. WATILIN the Railway Debenture-
holders' Bill was read a second time, and at the sugges-
tion of the president of the Board of Trade referred to a

Mr. HUBBARD obtained leave to bring in a bill for the
amendment of the law of church rates ; and on the motion
of Lord J. HAIINERS leave was given to bring in a bill for
further continuing and appropriating the London coal and

TO THE EDITOR OP THE ENPREtifi.

8111,—Tie Traffic Regulation fain4;W before the
House of lords will not permit any housekeeper within
four miles of Charing-cross to receive coals except between
the hours of 1 a.m. and 10 a.m. The effect of this will be
that by far the majority of persons will be obliged to take
in their coals during the small hours of the night. How the
coal merchants can carry on their business is their affair,
but surely it is • serious question for the consumer whe-
ther he should be compelled by act of parliament to open
his house at any hour of the night to receive his supply of
coals. If lam rightly informed the importation of coals
into London exceeds 6,000,000 of tons annually, end per-
haps I am within bounds in estimating that half the quan-
tity 0,000,000 of tons) is consumed within the limits de-
fined by the proposed bill ; it may, therefore, be asked
whether this enormous quantity can be distributed within
the hours proposed, except at a greatly increased charge ;1
and further, might we not get our coals supplied at •
reasonable hour and prevent any material obstruction to
our street traffic by simply enacting that coals shall not be
delivered in any given number of our leading thorough-
fares between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4. p.m.!--1 am. he.,
