Alter our report left yesterday, the motion adopt-

The Opautsuar, in reply to a question previously asked
by Mr. Dawson, explained that the 1:10,000P. due from the
Norfolk Company was for works executed by the Eastern
Comtism. Company. Three years ago the subject was
brought' under the notice of the proprietors, and • meeting
of the joint committee of the two companies was held to
investigate the claim. They decided that the money was
due, but up to the present time it had not been paid.
Interest was charged upon the amount every year against
the Norfolk Company.

This was an sectigacia= to over damages for low
sustaioed by the owner; of the ship Pounce,
through the all neglimmee of the defendant, m not /sup-
plying a sufficient number of hills of lading to Mr. Kellick,
hose duty it was to melee oat the manifests for
the ship. The vessel, which wee slandered to the dr
fondant, was bound to Puerto Cabello end Oneacce, and the
defendant sent in the bills of kid*, which ought to be
signed by the mate or captain. Instead of eight, however
the defendant only sent in ins bills of lading (uncertain
part of the cargo. When the Pagans arrived at Puerto Os.
hallo, it was found, on reference to the consular manifest,
that there were goods on board for which two
bills of hiding were wanting. In eamequence
of this deficiency the ship was detained 30 days, and the
good, not down in the consular manifest were seized. The
plaintiffs in consequence were obliged to re-imburse the
value to the consignees tithe goods seised, and to recover
the value the present cation wr bromOt.
For the defence it wee contended ad the bills of lading
were all duly delivered, and that the detention of the vee.
sel was solely due to the will of the captain.
A verdict was returned for the plaintiffe—darnagee,

■OM! Alm WIT! O.

AID YORKaRIRE RAILWAY.

The plaintiffs were William Hurst, a Wigan collier, and
hie wife, who sued for damages which they had sustained
in consequence of a collision on the line.
Hr. Monk, Q.C., in stating the cue, said that the plain-
tiff and his wife, at the 27th June, 1857, travelled to Liver-
pool by an excursion train, and were returning
is the evening, when the train stopped for
&bent a quarter al an hour at Kirby, for
the wpm° of taking the tickets. While thus
detained a luggage train was seen approaching, and
mess timer having seised upon both driver and stoker, they
leaped off, and left the luggage train to run into the 'r-
eunion twain, which it did, causing frightful havoc amongst
the =rhos and injuring a great many of the passengers.
Arnostiuhetlnjured were the plaintiff and his wife,
both thrown upon a bank and much cut and
bruised the body, the wife having sustained
in addition an injury in the back. They were
attended by Mr. Harrison, surgeon to the company,
and they also received at different times money from the
company, amounting in all to 121. or 131. The injuries,
however, which Hurst had received rendered him for three
weeks unable to work, and when he was able to return to
his employment he could not make more than two-thirds
the time that he formerly did ; while his wife, who, before
this accident, assisted him by earning several shillings
weekly by washing, was obliged to cease that
occupation, for which her impaired strength and
affection of the back unfitted her. At the time
of the accident she was enceinte, and for nine months
afterwards she was in a delicate state, was attended by
medical men, and had to obtain the services of her sister to
help to take care of her and the hones. The accident oc-
curred three years ago, and the learned counsel explained
that the reason why the Hunts bad not sued the company
before was, that they had an impression that by proceeding
against the company they would be violating some law or
regulation which would render them liable to imprisonment.
For the defence Mr. Overend, Q.C., urged that the com-
pany bad already given the plaintiffs all that could reason.
ably be required of them ; that both Hurst and his wife had
received monetary compensation quite sufficient to once-
pensate them for their hoar of time ; that they had been
amply supplied with medical attendance ; and that the
Impaired health of which they complained arose from other
causes than the railway accident, the male plaintiff, it
being shown, having suffered from bronchitis.
The Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiffs-201. for the
husband and 101. for his wife.

He ecessidmed the price offered to the complainant was fair

Ifr. Frederick Pellatt, the chief of the firm, said that the
prim offered to the complainant was fair and reasonable,
and such as every workman ought to be mentented with.
Some of the men earned four pounds a week with such
work.
Mr. Bircbam asked what was the coat price of such
wine glasses as those produced ?
Mr. Henry Ansley Pellatt replied that the cost price to

they bad lately introduced the cutting into their own esta-
blishment.
Mr. Burcham mid be had paid particular attention to the
arguments of the learned counsel, as well as the evidence of
witnesses on both sides, and he mart say that his opinion
was in favour of the defendants. It appeared that they in-
traduced • particular kind of work to be done which had
Dot been executed in any house in London for some time,
end that they inquired at different places where it bad been
done about the prices. The witness from Stourbridge, a
gentlemen who had given his evidence with great fairness,
bad proved that the usual price there was 3s. • dozen, but
what might be paid in one place could not always rule the
prices at another, but still he thought, from the inquiries
made by the defendants as to the Vale of the work, that
they had offered a fair price, therefore be must give judg-
ment in their favour.

WANDSWORTEL. _

Me. Henry Broughton, of Battersea, the
works of the Asphalte Company, was summoned before Mr.
Ingham by Mr. Henry Taylor, district surveyor, for cover-
ing a certain building upon his premises with asphalte,
instead of slates, tiles, metal, or other incombustible
materials, contrary to the rules of the act.
The question in dispute was of considerable importance
to the company, as Mr. Taylor considered the asphalte was
combustible and not the proper material for the roofs of
badings.
A gentleman present said he had been in the business a
number of years, and could state that asphalte waa incom-
bustible. He denied that Mr. Taylor was a practical man in
the cue of esphalte, (and therefore was unable to give an
opinion. Asphalte was now used for covering the roofs of
gunpowder magazines at the Tower of London, and other
public buildings. He then instanced a case to show its
incombustibility. At the late fire at Hartley's-wharf,
London-bridge, the fames spread rapidly throughout the
building, until they came to the root, which was covered
with asphalte, when their further progress was stopped,
and in fact the roof extinguished the fire.
A piece of asphaltewas produced, and his worship thought
it would be desirable to try whether it was combustible
at not
_ _ _

The gentleman said he had no objection to the experiment
being made, and all the parties, with the magiUrate, pro-
ceeded to the reserve room of the station, where there was a
fire in the grate. The fire having been poked, Mr. Ingham
thrust the pun of uphalte into the burning coals, when it
immediately flared away, to use the words of a constable
who was present, like a candle. upon the asphalt.) being
poked out of the fire the flames instantly yea out.
The gentleman interested contended that on a roof the
fire would burn to the asphalte covering, and would go no
further.

Mr. Taylor was however? unable to make out his ca•e,
in consequence of his not being able to prove the service of
a notice.

On the part of the defendants they were ready to waive
that informality, and to have his worship's decision upon
the merits of the ease. _ _

Ingham d that with the experiments just made he
should rather decline to say whether asphalte was combus-
tible or incombustible within the meaning of the act., and
he therefore should dismiss the summons on the grounds of
the informality in the Neat of the notice.
Mr. Taylor said be should serve them with another notice.
