when Mr. Kinglake on behalf of the defendants, contended
that there was nothing in the acts under which the plaintiffs
were conducting their works which imposed any restraint
on the defendents, and that by the contract into which the
two parties had entered for the building of the walls in

took no part in the argument.
Mr. Follett (with whom was Mr. Goldsmid) was' not
called upon to reply on behalf of the plaintiffs.
The Lord Justice Turner' then gave his decision. After
citing the various acts bearing ou the question, he said that

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OP GOLD. - Margaret Rae, an
elderly female was put forward, charged with stealing from
a young Welsh girl, named Margaret Williams, a suns
of ten shillings. The girl said that she had left her

in Wales on Monday, v and on Tuesday afternoon was
walking the streets of Liverpool, when she met a man,
whose name she could not tell, and went with him into a

cellar, in Eldon-street, kept by the prisoner. Shortly
afterwards, this man took out a small clasp purse, to send
out for some drink, and witness remarked that it was full of
gold, but no silver was in it. She said to the man that
he need not change any of his gold, as she would send for
the drink. This she accordingly did, and afterwards she
bought two caps from a person who came in hawkingthem,
one of those she kept, and the other she gave to prisoner.
Shortly afterwards, the man who had been all along the
worse for drink, began to get heavy and stupid, and lay
down on a bed in room, where he soon fell into a
profound sleep. There was another man in the cellar, who
helped to lift the drunken man on the bed, and as soon as
he had done so, he ran out of the cellar. Witness at once
exclaimed that the man she had been in company with was
robbed. As soon as he could be brought to his senses, this
