RAILWAY PAA4ILIWILRB' Lueomm.— A CASO of
greet importance to railway companies and railway tra-
vellers has been finally decidid, after protracted litigation.
A person named David Kers brought an action against the
Belfast and Ballymena and the Londonderry and Coleraine
Railway companies for the sum of 1,8901., the value id a
box of watches which he bad entrusted to the ewe of the
guard, soil which could not be found when he arrived at
the end of his journey. The companies resisted the claims on
the ground that the plaintiff was a seconitclaes paasencer,
entitled to carry only ordinary passenger's luggage, and that
they could not he responsible for property not honked in
their office. A jury gave Keys a verdict for 1,2011. An
appeal was made to the Court of Common Pleas, which
confirmed the verdict, and then to the Court of Exchequer,
which agreed with the judgment of the Common PleaA.
The companies then appealed to the House of Lords, who
have decided that the companies were not respondhle, thus
reversing the judgment of the courts below. and giving a
lesson to travellers not to run ricks for the sake of a small
charge on booking valoeble parcels.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY, JOLT 12.
Their lordships mot at Aye o'clock.
THE NEW AMERICAN TARIFF.

The Earl of CABNARVON mid he was anxious to ask
the noble duke opposite a question of which he bed given
him private notice. Their lordships would remember that
about three or four mouths ago their attention was called to
the promulgation of a new tariff hy the United States of
America. The house was perfectly aware that a very large
proportion of British goods were sent from this country
to Portland, in the state of Maine, to be forwarded to
Canada. These goods in all cases were seat
by railway under hood, and up to the present time no diffi-
culty or inconvenience lead been felt. But under the provi-
sions, an he understood, of the new tariff. every package
was opened at the Customhouse, and the contents were ex-
amined and analysed. In the caste of cotton and linen the
actual threads were counted with the same accuracy as if
customs duties were to be levied upon them. The result
was that great delay and great mischief ensued. It was
perfectly true that the great bulk of spring goods arrived at
a time previous to the date when the tariff came into force.
It was also true that a part of the goods imported
into Canada passed entirely through British territory.
But as everybody knew the passage of the St. Lawrence
was closed during several months in the year. Under these
circumstances he should be glad to bear whether these facts
were such as be had stated, and whether any representa-
tions had been made, or measures taken to correct or,
mitigate the evil.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that no explanation had
reached the Colonial-office on this subject. He had also
caused inquiries to be made at the Fereign-office and the
Board of Trade, as to whether any representations bad
reached those departments from merchants or others on
this subject. The result appeared to be that no represen-
tations bad been received by government. At the mere
time his noble friend could not fail to see that there must
be evils and inconveniences arising out of the present state
of things in America which could not possibly be remedied ;
but he oonld not help hoping that before long the govern-
ment of the United States would make such alterations as
would tend to alleviate or remove these grounds of complaint.
