COMPANY.

This matter, in which iSOOrlleiwas made for the dissolu-
tion and winding-op of the company in May last, again came
before his Hower as to the appointment of the official
manager. It will be remembered that the first applicatioe
for his appointment was heard as usual at chambers, and
that Mr. croyelill was appointed, and hi appointment
signed by the Master of the Rolls. A considerable number
of persons interested in the company, and who had proposed
Mr. Erase as official manager, were anxious that the ques-
tion of the appointment should be submitted to the blaster
of the Rolls himself, but his Honour regarding his chief
clerk's as a proper selection, declinei to interfere. Upoo
this the proposers of Mr. Emus carried the matter before
the Lords Justaces, who discharged the order appointing
Mr. CroyediU, and remitted the cam to the consideration
of the Master of the Rolla His Honour, on the renewed
application, appointed Mr. Evans, and to-day summons to

ties, if they wished it, to the ulterior decision of the Lords

CORI?? V. VICTORIA RTA77OX AID RAILWAY COMPLIFT.

This was a bill by the 74 tie Tate
Cubitt, the builder, having for its object to compel the
Brighton Railway Company to totally cover in the new sta-
tion at Pimlico in such • way as to prover annoyance to
property in the neighbourhood by the isms of smoke,
steam and noise therthum. The queries turned epos the
construction of certain drew in the airplay's private act,
which were inserted with a view of protecting the value of
property in the neighbourhood of the station. These
clauses were to the following effect :—By the first,
after reciting that provision should be made for the pro-
tection of the interests of Cubitt's trustees, it was provided
that the power of the railway company should be exer-
cised, subject to the following provisions : that the railway
should be entirely covered with • roof from the east side of
St. Michael's School to at least sixty yards on the east
aide of Eircleston-bridge, and should also be enclosed on
both sides thereof to the extent of at lent 30 yards on each
side of St. George's-bridge, and 30 yards on each side of
Yucleston-bridge ; but, except as last provided, the com-
pany should not be compelled to enclose it on the side
next the canal. It was also provided by a following sec-
tion that for the purpose of preventing noise
and injury to the adjoining property, that the
railway between St. Michael's School and Eccleston-
bridge should be laid and maintained on longitudinal
deepen bedded in an elastic =trial, so as to be as noise-
less r possible. The London and Brighton Company had
taken pseesers of a portion of the station allotted to them
and had erected • lofty roof between twenty and thirty feei
higher than the parapets of Ecclestoe-!ridge, and supported
by open iron arches fixed near the bridge parapets. They
had also left large openings in the side wall within the distance
of thirty yards mentioned by the act. It was insisted on the
Bad
part that in leaving then openings the company
had failed onfliciently to " inclose" the station within the
intention of the act

Sir H. aad Mr. realm were for the plaintiffs ; Mr.
Bolt. Mr. °Ward, Mr. Taylor, 11.11(1 Mr. Bownng, were for
tee defendants.

The Vice-Chancellor add that this question bed arisen
purely from want of precision in defining the objects of the
fiamen of the act. It appeared to him that it might pro.
bably have been in their contemplation to close
the station, as contended for by the plaintiffs, but
the words certainly did not go to that extent. Theni
were no words which would enable him to direct the
closing of the open arches over Eocleston•bridge. But the
opeolugs in the side walls stood on a different footing, and
were within the provisions of the act. The injunc-
tion would fore run to that extent only, and as neither
side had eatirely suroseded is their contentions there would
be so ads given.

Mr. Hawkins, Mr. D. Keane, and Mr. Brandt appeared
for trhEtiff,
and Mr. Mellor, Mr. Serjeant Pigott, and
Mr. , for the defendants.
The tiff was 32 yeses old, and on the night of the
llida November last he was doing duty as a sorter in a Pose
°Moe van runaisg between Preston and London. At Adele-
Moss the train ran into a cattle time which was being
shunted across the line. The plaintiff was thrown from nos
end to the other of the van, which was twentyeeven
feet less. He came into collision with a partition
whisk supported • desk. and he fell on his back.
His neck, the back of his bead, and shoulders were struck,
sod his arms, legs, and thighs were braised. Though he
was a good deal hurt he went to London. because he had
of the registered letters, but in the night his sleep
thaasT isturbed by dreams referring to the accident, and he
jumped oat of bed, end this brought on palpitation of the
heart. Dr. Waller Lewis ordered him into the country.
and he was at Worksop for six or seven weeks. He returned
to duty in January, but was obliged again to leave, and at
thermoset time he was not fit for his ordinary duty. He
was suffering from pains in the head and back, and from

and les. a week for "trip mosey," and his ex-
penses incident to the hurt suffered was about 1021.
Another circumstance was that the plaintiff bad
been injured in a collision in March, 1800, and
hul received 201. compensation, and the question raised
was whether any of the symptoms now complained of were
the consequence of the first accident.
A fruit deal of medical evidence was given on both side.
in reference to the extent of the injuries sustained, and at
length the jury found for the plaintiff—damages, 2751.
There were two other actions by gentlemen in the 'ureic')
of the Post-office, arising out of the same circumstances,
but in each of those cases a estakimeet was come to with-
out the intervention of a jwy.
