LAW INTELLIGENCE.

(THIS DAY.)

EQUITY COURT.
(Before Vice-Chanoellor Sir W. P. Wood.)
LARKIN r. THE LONDON AND NORTN•WESTRRN RAILWAY CO.
. .

This suit was instituted by two of the joint owners of
patent for improvements in the construction of waggons fur
use on railways, against the above company, for the purpose
of obtainint an account of profits made by the company by
the use of such patents. The case set up by the company
rested upon lengthy and complicated facia, but in effect
it amounted to this—let, that the patent was of no value ;
2ndly, that if it were the defendants had, by acquiescence
in a notice which had been given by the company in regard
to patents used by them and by their course of action gene-
rally, waived thew right to the relief claimed.
Mr. Rolt, Mr. Wilmck, Sir H. Cairns, Mr. Freeling,
Mr. Speed, Mr. Turner, and Mr. Miller, appeared for the
different parties.
The Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that upon the utility
and beneficial nature of the plaintiffs patent, the de-
fendants (the company) failed in making out their case.
His Honour was of opinion that the invention was a
useful one and had been beneficial to the company. But
upon the head of acquiescence the plaintiffs failed. His
Honour went a great length into a consideration of different
facts upon which he based this view, and added that it was
clear, therefore, the bill must fail. There remained the
question of cost only. No doubt the plaintiffs had received
some advantages from the use of this patent by the London
and North Western Railway Company ; but, on the other
hand, the company had been gainers by using the invention.
Notwithstanding this, they had thought fit to deny the
utility of the invention, and had thereby occasioned the
expenses of the suit. Under these circumstances although
the bill must be dismissed, that dismissal would be without
costs.
London, England, 1861-02-08

INDIAN PRIZE MONEY.

Sir M. FARQUHAR wished to oak the Secretary of
State for India whether Ise could state when the distribu.
tion of the Delhi and Lucknow prize money was likely to
tike place, and what was the course to be pursued with
reference to the Kidwee and other Indian prize money; also
whether the scheme for carrying out the amalgamation of
the Indian army had been completed and forwarded to
India for promution, and whether he had any objection
to lay a copy of ths scheme upon the table of the house.
Sir C. it ()OD said that the sotrraat for the distribution
of the Delhi and Luckuow prize money bad been forwarded
to India early in the autumn, and orders bad been sent to
India desiring that the prize rolls should be prepared. The
amount to begiven to each person could not be determined till
the prize rolls were completed, and this would occupy some
time. The prize money would be distributed in India, and
the remaining sum would be sent home for distribution 14
this country. With regard to the second question, it was a
matter of legal coutroversy whether the Kidwee money
was prize money or not, and till that question was decided
he could not state what course would be pursued with re-
gard to it. With regard to the remaining prize money, •
commission of officers recommended that all of it, with the
exception of the Delhi and Lucknow prize money, should
be distributed amongst the army generally. With regard to
the scheme for the amalgamation of the Indien army a de.
'pitch bad been sent to India giving directions on
many parts of the scheme. One document had already
appeared in the r;a:etre. But as the Governor-General in
commit with the Commander-in-Chief had a power of
modifying the instructions given, it was not desirable that
he should lay • copy of a scheme on the table which might
not be the one ultimately promulgated. The Governor.
general hada power of modifying without referring buck to
England.

tions of the Shipping Committee. These bills

AUSTRALIA.

The well-known clipper ship Orient, Captain
Lawrence, from Adelaide, South Australia, with
60 passengers and full cargo of wool, arrived and
landed part of her passen,ters off Swanage yester-
day evening.
She sailed from Adelaide the 3rd of November,
making the passage in 96 days, rid Cape of Good
Hope.

The Count de Persigny is actively engaged in
carrying into execution • grand plan of administrative
&neutral/nation. The Directors-General of that depart-
ment assemble at the hotel of the Minister of the Interior
several times every week to discuss the question in his
presence. A special commission hu been appointed to
make a report and prepare a decree on the subject. The
difficulty appears to be to establish within just limits the
new privileges granted to the Prefects and those which it
is intended to confer on the Councils-General and the
municipalities.

A French translation of the "Swallows" of Lud-
wig Wild has just been published at Paris by Hachette.
It is stated, on good authority, to be the intention
of the Admiralty to cut down several of the largest and
souodest line•ot.battle ships, and convert them into plated
steam batteries for the defence of our harbours and coasts,
bat more partieelerly with reference to the defence of
godhead.

SHIPWRECK OFF THE SCFFOLE Coeur.—The brig
Charles,. of and for London from Sunderland, Reynolds
master, was totally lost off the Suffolk coast on Tuesday
night. The In ig struck on the Corton Sands about 8 p.m.,
and the sea beating heavily the crew took to their boat.
Fortunately' for them they succeeded in getting on hoard
the Seim, of Whitstable. which brought them on to Great
Yarmouth on Wednesday. The poor fellows, seven in
number, IWO mortised at the Sailors Home.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

Mr. BENTINCK wished to ask the President of the
Beard at Thais whether, in oonsequence of the numerous
railway accidents which had recently occurred, it was the
intention of her Majesty's government to introduce any
measure during the present session founded on the report
of the committee oa railway accident., which was laid on
the table of the hones in the year 1858.
Mr. GIBSON said that the report of the committee had
received very careful consideration from the govern-
ment ; and with regard to the first recommendation of that
committee—namely, that the Board of Trade should apply
to parliament for powers to investigate railway accidents
and report thereon to parliament—he had to say that
though the inquiries which now took place were without
the authority of law, and conducted in fact by sufferance,
it was found that the railway companies showed no indis-
position to give the fullest information k and therefore,
though it might be true that such inquiries were moot de-
sirable and necessary, yet as the government inspectors of
railways got every facility from the railway companies in
conducting their investigations at present, the government
did not think it necessary to act upon that first recommen-
dation of the committee. If indeed the companies acted in
another spirit, and refused to give the necessary information,
it would then moat probably be the duty of the government
to come to parliament and ask for such powers as the com-
mittee recommended them to ask for. With regard to the
recent accidents, the inspectors of railways had made in-
quiries respectiug ell those which had occurred since the pro-
rogation,
and their report would be shortly presented to both
Howes of Parliament. The result of their opinions as to
the causes of these accidents would be communicated to all
the railway companies. Another important recommenda-
tioa of the committee was, that there should be a communi-
cation between the guards sod engine driven. (Hear,
bear.) He was informed that such a communication was
moat desirable. It was a fact that railway carriages had
been dragged along in a disabled state for a considerable
distance without any wheels, while the driven of the
engines had not been at all aware of it (Hear, bear.) But
it was questionable whether it was necessary to being in a
tall for this purpose. Many railways bad already adopted
this plan of communication, and unless there was some ab-
solute necessity, he thought It was not desirable to interfere
with the free action of the railway companies, or to relieve
the directors from the responsibility which properly be-
longed to them—of conducting the truffle with safety to the
public. (Hear, hear.) Therefore it was not the intention
of the government to bring in a bill to take any further
powers in the matter.

TO THE EDITOR Or TRIEIXPRVIR.

Sia,—With a view to ascertain in what numbers
and time • body of volunteers can be concentrated on •
given point in the event of an emergency—it is proposed to
test the operation in connexion with a sham fight on Easter
Monday.
The liberality of the directors of the London, Brighton,
and South Coast Railway, and the great capabilities which
that line offers, induce me to select the neighbourhood of
Brighton as the locality, in preference to Croydon, as
originally intended.
The oust of the journey by return tickets to volunteers in
uniform will be I.s. 6d, each, available from Saturday to
Monday.
It is suggested that commanding of icers.aphould arrange
for the commuoariat of their respective corps.
The commanding officers of the Metropolitan and Surrey
Volunteers to whom I have written upon the subject, have
(with only two or three exceptions) promised the attendance
of their corps, and I shall be happy to receive as early as pos-
sible the name of any other corps wishing to participate, in
order that the necessary application may be made to the
lords lieutenants.—l ILSNELAGH.

DOCKYARD ARTIFICERS.

Sir F. SMlTHwiebed to ask the l:lecretary to the Admi-
ralty whether a considerable reduction in the number of
shipwrights and other workmen in her Majesty's dock-
yards had taken place since the close of the last session of
parliament, or was now contemplated ; and if so, whether it
was hi consequence of any intention to substitute iron for
wooden ships of war, or to employ private builders more
extensively than heretofore.

Lord C. 'PAGE'T said that up to the present time there
had been no reduction of the artificers in the dockyard.
beyond t►is, that the Admiralty in the wane of the autumn
desired that the vacancies which occurred should not be
filled up. But it was the intention of her Majesty's govern•
meat that at the end of this month a reduction should
take place in the dockyards, till those establish.
meats were reduced to the fixed scale allowed. The
men would have railway pause given to them
on leaving the service, which would enable them to
go to their reepective homes. The works had been in so
forward a state for some time that it was no longer
a.ry to retain so large a number of men,
bat it was thought unfair, as the winter was coming on, to
mad them away. (Hear.) With regard to the second
part of the question, the building of iron ships had no
doubt something to do with that. He might state that the
government were at that moment building six large iron
ships by contract. (Hear, hear.) They were also building
one in her Majesty's dockyard at Chatham, in order to
assist the authorities in forming an estimate of the can.
putties expenee. (Hear.)

THE ARMY OF SOUTHERN ITALY.

General Sirtori has published the following order
of the day :
°Seers and soldiers of the Southern Array,—At the mo-
ment when the command expires that was confided to me
by Garibaldi and the King, permit me to speak without re.
serve. In the crisis we have had to pass through, your
honour has been subjected to grave trials by a great num-
ber of men who were not worthy of appearing in your
ranks. But I have watched over your honour, as a mother
does over her son when in danger. Thanks to the love of
country that inspires you, the honour of the southern army
has been saved. Love of country, with honour, forms the
hero. You, soldiers of your country and of liberty, von
have not had to choose between life and heroism. Soldiers
of Calatafimi, Palestro, Milarso, Reggio, and of the Volturno,
prepare for the future. Great battles await you ; they will be
sterner than those in which you have conquered. Prepare
yourselves, I say, strengthen yourselves in the discipline
and virtue of the soldier, armed not for destruction, but
for raising the edifice of his country. Until then, watch
yourselves in order that no soldier may enter your ranks
who is not worthy of taking part in the great work that will
constitute the glory of this generation.
Soldiery the work will be hard to complete. If we are
compelled to wait one year—ten years, for its final comple-
tion, know how to wait with confidence, love, patience,
self-denial, and perseverance, which are the virtues of the
strong who fight for justice.
