EQUITY COURTS.-BATCRTAT.
Berou nu LORD CRARRILOto AT 111 A Honey PARK-LAIR.

HAIUM-110-N'

AND OTH WO O. AYES AND ANUTHIII;

Tnie appeal from an order of the Vice-Chancellor of
England was argued before his lordship, at his private reel
deuce, on the 7th inst., and this adenine judgment was
forwarded to the parties interested. The plaintiffs, by their
bill, sought an injunction to restrain the defendants from
working certain mining land of theirs, notwithstanding thee
the defendants ware in possession of is under an amustoot:d
licence of their agent.
Mr. Bothell and Mr. Thring were heard for tha pl sintiffs ;
Mr. Reit and Mr. Cairns represent-1 the defendants.
The Lord Chanceller said that the injunction was &eked
for upon two grounds; first, that the agent bed granted
a lease of the land in question for a longer period than
ne was entitled to ; and, secondly, that he bad are outdo
rite to grant a iicence as to unopened land. With respect to
the fleet proposition, the balance of evidence was against
the plaintiffs, and therefore the licence must be taken t, he
within the custom or known rule and habit of dealing in
such eases. With regard to the second objection, the state
meet of the plaintiffs appeared to be rather ineonsildent,
that a license should be refused which might prove • pre-
mium for exploring land unopened and untried, end yet
granted where the land bad been already ovned and the
experiment to some degree at least tried. The evidence,
however, from the affidavits proponderated in favour of the
hypothesis that no custom exists restricting the granting of
Licensee to land which had been opened, and at any rate
brought home to several of the plaintiffs the knowledge that
the defendants were working unopened ground, and that no
objection was made by them until the value of the experi-
ments appeared. His lordship was of opinion that upon the
evidence as it stood the custom was not confined to un-
opened ground, and that the plaintiffs had, by their condor!,
deprived themselves of all right to the interference tf a
court of equity, and the injunction mils! therefore be re-
fused with carts. If, however, the plaintiffs required leave
to proceed at law they might have it.
Ordered accordingly.

THE EXHIBITION OP 1861.—MBETING OF ARTl-
vise AT LIED4I.—On Friday het Mr. F. Warren, of Man-
chester, met a considerable number of overlookers, mecha-
nics, and skilled artisans, connected with different branches
of trade in Leeds, at the Mechanics' Institution, for the pur-
pose of consultation in reference to the intended exhibition
of 1851. Them., Wilson, Erq., President of the Mechanic,'
Institution and Literary Society, by the request
of the meeting took the chair ; after which Mr
Warren proceeded to explain the object, of the exhb
bition, and the advantages likely to result from it.
He showed that in this race for industrial pre-eminence the
working man would have as good an opportunity as the
master manufacturer of exhibiting the products of his skill.
He also intimated that measures would be devised to secure
to every exhibitor the property he had a right to claim in his
own invention" not perhaps by sweeping away the present
patent laws. Mr. Warren during the discussion which
i took place, stated the; he iiteaded to become
an exhibitor, and that, in addition to Us modals
of machinery employed in the cotton maaalsetnre,
he should prepare, amongst other article., a locomotive, with
a view of 'hewing that improvements might be effected in
them, by means of which a collision should not necessarily
break them to pieces, and eudanger the lives of passenger'.
At the demo( his address, resolutions were parsed, approv-
ing of the proposed exhibition, and pledging the working
men to assist in carrying it out, and also to contribute models
and specimens of art. It was also determined to form a
committee of an unlimited number of workingmen employed
in the various occupations in the town, two per-
sons from tech of the principal establishments to Ms
selected to trammel all the business, and to corrugated
with the committee already existing in the ten ; this
committee to institute an active cannm neap the
workmen of the different workshopsadmanufac-
tories, in order to ascertain how far they were willing to
aid the objects of the exhibition by funislng macnitie
models end other works of industrial art. A teovisloaal
committee was constituted to carry out the resolu-
tions adopted ; and It was determined that the fact meeting
of the committee should take place at the Keehoolos Institu-
tion, on Thursday evening next. A vets of thanks to the
chairmaa terminated the proceedings.
THE Crrr or LoNtioN Umos.—ln the come of
the week mock alarm has pervaded the Board of Unsmiling
of the City of London, in commune, of a very insubordi-
nate spirit having beg; manifested amongst the 800 inmates
of the City New Workhouse, in the Mile-end-road. The
cause of this threatened revolt Is attributed to the circum-
stance of the dietary table of the house being omeidrrably

sandond the reduction, but directed it, and arneaget the
alteration the meat meals are limited to two days in the
week ; previously they were four. On last Monday the new
system came into effect, and a large number of the inmates,
instead of continuing in the hall and partaking of their meal,
deliberately teok up their fan, and in a body went into the
yard, thereby patios atileflanmall regulation. The strongest
