LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
Sittings In Beeco.—(Eiebre Lord Chief Jumbos Cockburn.
end meadow William. Crowder, and Willer.)

BAIENDAL; V. THE GREAT WRIITZRN RAILWAY COMPART.
THE GOODS TRAFFIC.
This nutter had bean Ware the court on a former occasion.
It was then stated that the Great Western Railway Company
carried parcels, weighing leas than 600ibe., at ands which wee
to be the same whether they collected atone end and delivered
at the other or whether they simply carried from station to
station. Messrs. naked complained of thecourseof basins%
Inasmuch as after they had gone to the trouble of collecting
in London, and had agreed to deliver in the country, they
had to pay as mach for carriage along the line
as the public bad to ply where the company
collected sad delivered. The court granted • role
absolute for en injunction restraining the company from
pursuing this system of bananas, or, in the terms of the
rule, from giving themselves say preferenoe over Warm
Pickford.
The AterenspOeneral now moved, under the 6th modal
of the Railway Tien° Ace, for a rule, calling upon Mum%
Pickford to show eaves why the rule should not be reacbsled
or varied.
The Lord Chief Julies rid the court bad mad* the Me
absolute, after fully ameidering the matter, end therefore he
was at a Ices to know why they should rehme
the case. If the owl had misapprehended the fade
there might be:mead for the application, but they ought
not to basked to ruonsider the matter, simply beanie the
Great Wallin Railway (keepany were a party to It.
The •Cleamal—The facts he now moved on were
eiderged but be must also mak their
=hips to receadder the principle of the decision—the very
object of the fith section of the act being to amble the court
to roomoislor what had been done. A decision might involve
intervals which It was impossible to exaggerate, and
If the sown *add err in a shies case, the evil would
he inesnediebie makes there could be a rehearing,
for there was as appeal from their lordship's decides.
The Lord Chief Juana—lf they were to hear the earns
argutosats again what probability was there that they would
arrive at • Merest conclusion ?
The Attorney-General—The railway company, withevery
desire to starry into effect the order of the court,
yet fonad enormous difficulty in doing so. One
great diamfty was, by how much were they to redeem
the charge to Kew& Pickford ? and the company bad been
Induced to couch with thou gentlemen, who asked that the
company should reduce the charge per ton foe collecting
to 3e. ed., and for delivery la. 6d.
The Lord Chief Justice—The principle of the order was,
that the railway company should make a certain charge fee
carriage on the line alma, sad not include in it the vet of
collecting and delivery. It was the plainest thing in the
world.
The Attorney-Gemmel—The rule was idled u to what
was the amount to be deducted by the company, but If the
court would cal., state what the amount we., the mane
would aroma • &Wes form.
The Lord Chief Justice—That was no part of the duty ci
the wart. The company had formerly carried, between
London and Reeding, say for Se. a ton' and afterwards
they had altered that tariff, and added Is.
• ton, which wee precisely the sum which
Messrs. Pickford charged for collecting and delivering. That
was too transpantst a derisive anybody, and the company
had never stated why It was that that precise mum had Wert
added.
The Attorney-General—The company made the alteration in
charge because their act authorised them to do so. The
i learned gentleman than went into some details to show that
there was great difficulty in the railway company obeying
the order of the court in the form in which it at premed was,
