The Queen's Beath gave judgment yesterday
against the crown, in a case of great importance as
affecting railways. A mandamus had been obtained
by the crown for the puree of obliging the Irish
South Eastern Railway Company to carry a Post-
alee guard with the mails between Bagnalstown and
Carlow, at the ordinary rates charged for a second-
class porringer, the mails not exceeding the 60Ib. of
luggage allowed to a passeeger. To this writ the com-
pany bad made a return that they were not bound to
carry any each guard unlssethere was a special contract
for the conveyance of the mails, and after protracted
arguments the judgment was now delivered on the
demurrer to that return. The point chiefly relied on
against the railway company was the proviso con-
tained in the 11th section of the ith and Bth Vie.,
which provided that it might be lawful for the Post-
master-general to send by any other than a mail
train, and at the usual rates charged to passengers,
but the court consider that this proviso applied only
to cases where a special contract existed for carrying
the mails, when the mails arrived too late to be con-
veyed by the regular train.
