at possessed of the land In question.
Mr. Morin Jame sad Mr. Johnstone appeared far the
pisiatiff, and Mr. Lash and Mr. Malcolm for the defeadants.

From' the case for the plaintiff it appeared that the
tiff, Mr. R. J. Smith, the lessee of Drury-law
heatre, occupied under a lease for three years,
at a rental of 1001. par annum, Pennsylvania Coale, at
Portland, near Weymouth. In July last the ser-
vants of the defendants entered his grc.node without hie
permission, and excavated a trench about 200 yards, being
he the purpose of laying down a cable in con-
nexion with the Channel Islands Telegraph. The
superintendent had previously applied to the free-
holder, Mr. Pena, for permission to do the work,
and he informed him that Mr. Smith wee the occu-
pier, and cautioned the company against taking any tom-
cures to lay down the telegraph on the land with-
out previously making some arrangement with Mr. Smith.
Upon the reseonstruces of Mr. Smith the cable was taken
up, and he now claimed 111. from the company, Mick was
represented to be the amount of the damage whkh
had been done to the propvrty. Be had, however,
offered to stay all prooeediogs if the company would con-
tribute a gam to the Weymouth Charitable Institution, but
they declined to do so, and the action wee therefore brought
into court.

eimpany were not liable, as Misers. Newell had contracted
with them to to, down tha cable at their own owe
end rink be • lump sum, which they wen to
twelve, and that the works were in no way under the con-
trol et the company. Evidence was also given to show that
the demo did sot exceed 5/,

The jury found • verdict for the plaintiff— 6antefrea, 101.
