RAN fatentgence.

Mr. Pollock—Not In the sense of tor of view. The'
next head of damage was actual structural injury y sub-
eidence of a portion of the kitchen.
The Lord Chief Baron—You took all these matters in
eonsideration and awarded the sum in question!—Yes.
Mr. Philbrick—Tell me of what items the sum you
awarded was composed!
Mr. Mellish objected to the witneue being examined
upon that subject.
The Lord Chief Baron said he would take the evidence
subject to the objection.
Ili. Pollock—The Board of Works said, " It is true the
duke's house may be injured, bat if he likes he may under
the act of parliament become lessee of the crown of half an
acre of land between the: house and the river, and ou
must amuse that he will become lessee of it." I assumed
that the duke would take that piece of land, otherwise I
would have given larger damages. Then there was no dis-
pute that if be did vo the capitalised rent of the garden,
which was estimated at 1501. a year, would, it 161 years'
rchase, amount to 2,4751. I allowed 2001. for low of
jetty, 501. for structural damage, 2,4751. for the capitalised
rent of garden, and 6001. for building a wall and laying out
the garden end other matters. When all that was done I
thought there would be a loin in the value of the hones, if
if it were to be occupied by • nobleman or gentleman, of
5,000!.: and these sums would amount to atotal of 8,3251.,
which I awarded.
blelliah said the 78th section of the act provided
that the tenants of the crown might take the land be-
tween their present premises and the embankment at •
rent to be fixed between them and the crown, and that is
any claim for compensation, regard should be had to their
option of the taking such land.
Mr. Hawkins asked Mr. Pollock to give the elements of
his calculation in awarding the 5,000/.
Mr. Pollock said that previously the duke enjoyed per-
fect privacy in the river front, while now there would be
• roadway ate higher level than the garden, and the only
thing he could do was to build • very high well, such as
that round Buckingham Palace-gardens, which would shut
out the view. He thought that the traffic, dust, comma
tion, and noise would entirely alter the character of the
house.
The Lord Chief Baron—l am of opinion that upon this
evidence the Duke of Damien& is entitled to the full
benefit of the award, and consequently to the verdict, but
if you can show that the umpire has allowed anything
which he bas no power to give, that would be fatal to the
award, and you can set aside the verdict and enter a non-
suit.
A verdict was then entered for the plaintiff with
the following damages. Amount of award, 8,3251.: in-
tercet, 2081. ; costa of award, 3561. Ds. sd. ; total, 8,880/.

Leave was given to the defendants to move the court
above on the points of law.

THE DUKE OF BECCLEECH T. THE METROPOLITAN BOARD

OF WORKS.
This was an action to recover compensation in damages
for injury done to the plaintiff's residence, at Whitehall,by
the works of the Thames embankment. The defendants
pleaded a variety of pleas, denying their liability.
Mr. Mellish, Q.c., and Mr. H. Lloyd were counsel for
the plaintiff ; hlr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Philbrick
were counsel for she defendants.
Mr. Mellish said the action was brought by the Duke of
Bnooleuoh against the Metropolitan Board of Works to
recover a sum of 8,3251. which bad been awarded to him
by Mr. Chas. Pollock, Q.C. as umpire, for the damage he
had sustained as owner of 'Montagu-house, Whitehall, by
the works of the Thames embankment. The freehold of
the house and grounds belonged to the crown, but for 200
years the property had been let to the duke and his pre-
decessors, and at the time the present claim was made he
was in posmedon of it, under a lease made on 6th January,
1806, for a term of 62 years which would have expired in
January last. However, by an agreement between the
crown and the Duke of Buoclench, on February 4,
1834, which was followed by another agreement
on October 26, 1858, the duke was to have
a renewal of the term for 99 years, in consideration of his
expending 20,0001. in rebuilding the house. Before the
Thames Embankment Act passed in 1862, the duke, and
many of the crown tenants at Whitehall, did not oppose
the embankment, but were desirous that the new road-
way, instead of going in front of their Ileums, and reaching
Westminster-budge at a right angle, should be diverted to
Whitehall. They did not succeed in their object, and the
Metropolitan Board of Works having bean empowered by
parliament to carry the roadway along the banks of the
river, commenced the prosecution of their works. In
1194 an addition was made to the garden of the house by '
the erection of an embankment wall, surmounted by an
iron railing, and having an iron gate with a key, leading to
• causeway or jetty which ran down to low water
mark. The duke, therefore, !had the advantage of a
garden down to the river, and a perfectly free water com-
munication. It was well known that in the reign
of Elizabeth, and three subsequent reigns. min-
&ions of noblemen occupied the banks of the Thinnes
from the Temple to Westminster, and that one of
their chief attractions was the water communication
which they possemed, but those had all dis-
appeared, and Montagu-house might be said to be tho
oaly house of that kind which remained. By the em-
bankment the causeway or jetty in question was entirely
destroyed, and in accordance with the provisions of the
act the Duke sent to the Metropolitan Board of Works •
claim for compensation. The matter came before Mr.
Charles Pollock, and in August last he awarded 8,325/.
for the destruction of the jetty, the closing up of the I
landing place, and the damage to and depreciation of the
maneien by the ritteutioe of the works. The defendants
refused to pay the tummy, and hence the present action.
In the first place, they denied that the duke had any pro-
perty in the jetty ; but although it was not mentioned in
the lease iu cypress terms he should prove that as far
back as .wybody could recollect there was a jetty run-
ning down to low water mark, with an iron gate at the
garden end, and that it W:01 used exclusively by the duke
and his preilearesons, and kr pt in repair by them. Between
Petit and lad; the duke spent about 8001. is its repair.
When the present 1211•011/0:1 was built, barges brought the
materials r,quired to the river front. There could be no
doubt that the destruction of the jetty and of the access
to the river hail, within the term of the act of 11ie12, iefto
'lonely affected the premixes. It was next said that Mr.
Pollock haul takeu into cried lcration matters which ought
not to have been included in his award. The learned
counsel observed that could only be proved by calling the
umpire himself and ascertaining what passed in his mind
when he mole the award, a course which he contended
was unprecedented.
The following donunents were then given in evidence:—
Thu lease of 11115 for tel yearn at u yearly rent of 59V. ; an I
agreement dated February, V-A. for • new lease fee 99
years fo,m the of January, 18:Z, at 830 f. per annum,
to eondder...tion of the duke laying out 20,000 f. on a new I
hour-. and another agreement dated :rata October, 1856,
enlaraing the time for exputling, that sum ; Mr. Pollock`e
UWilli of ; anti the master's allocatur for the costs,
which amounted to :1.16/. Us. :id.
Mr. Thos. Heal, house steward to the Dnkeof
was then crannied. Ile eaid—l have been in the service
of the duke 40 yeses. It wits the habit of his grace to
'aide in old Montago-house a portion of the year. The
garden in front of the liou,o weut 110M1 to the Themes at
high water. It was bounded by a low w.,11 with an iron
milli, at the top. At the north-east end there was a gate
and ;flight of steps leading to a causeway or jetty, four or
bye feet Mood, which ran into the bed of the river, and
was wholly covered at high water. The causeway was
made of granite stoner., kept tegether by piles and by
plunks between the piles. It was constantly used during
the time I speak of. It was used fur landing male to stow
away in the cellars, and also for the landing of boats which
brought from his grace's residetice at Richmond ice, fruit,
vegetables, and linen from the laundry. Sometimes these
boats came twice or thrice • week ; at other times only
once a week. The key of the gateway kept in Montagu-
hou-e, and the causeway was nut used by any one except
for the purposes of the duke. In 1633 the causeway was
repaired by his gram.
Cross-examined—To my knowledge no person imml it but
the duke. It watt raised in 1633 in consequence of the ac-
cuiuulation of mud, mid no alteration hes been made since.
Mr. Rogers, • builder, said he had known the causeway
fifty years, and that his predecessor in business repaired
it iu 16:3. He could produce the bill, if neoemary.
This being all the evidence,
Mr. Hawkins, on the part of the defendants, submitted
that no ease had been made out. He argued that, even
supposing the t...mis of the lease included the causeway or
jetty, the Duke of Buccleuch could have no legal interest
In it without the license of the cons:l-veto's of the Thames.
The Lori Chief listen—That is purely • question of
law. I shall hold that evidence of the user and enjoyment
of the causeway for more than fifty yew+ is connection
with the occupation of the house is proof of title, but if I
amwrong you aan raise that point before the court above.
Mr. Hawkins—lf the duke hos • right to the jetty, I
cannot centred that under ordinary circurristnnoes he is
not entitled to compensation for its destruction ; but
another question arises upon the 2.7ith and 2ath Victoria,
c. 93, the act under which the embankment was wade.
By the 11th section, the defendants are empowered to
enclose and till up jetties, piers, and landing places,
and make compensation ; and by the 21st section
they could substitute other landing places, which
were to be vested in the conservators. Now, I contend
that the destruction of this particular jetty is to he com-
pensated for not by money, but by she substitution of
another jetty or landing-plaoe, and that if the defendants
donut provide such a substitute, the Duke of Buocleuch
can compel them to provide it by mandamus. Supposing
I am wrung in that contention. I submit that the award is
invalid, because it includes compensation for other things
than the destruction of the jetty. The duke claimed before
the umpire compeneation not only in respect of the jetty,
but also for the less of the water-way and for the
construction of • public roadway 100 feet wide
between the garden and the river, whereby the amenity
of the inausion, be said, was destroyed, and ren-
dered less agreeable as a residence and less valuable
than it formerly was. The learned counsel added that he
inteaded to call Mr. Pollock, and to put in the shorthand
writer's notes of the evidence given before him, with the
object of showing of what the claim actually consisted.
Mr. Mellish—We made a total claim of 10,0001. in one
sum, and no items were given.
lir. Hawkins read the report of Mr. Clark, the valuer,
who said he estimated the cost of the present Montagu-
house at 80,0001., though he believed it actually cost
100,000 f. He thought the privacy of the house was its
great advantage, and he calculated that the substitution
of a public roadway, with a vast and continual traffic,
for the river, and the personal annoyance and ineouveni-
enoe of the works entitle the duke to compensation
amounting in the whole to 23,7751.
The Lord Chief Baron—ln my opinion the umpire was
at liberty to award any sum he thought reasonable and
proper for taking away the jetty, and for injury to the
value of the mansion by reason of the substitution of the
embankment for the water way. Ido not think he is enti-
tled to anything for lessor prospect, and if you show any-
thing was awarded for it, that may bee question for future
coneaderation.

Mr. Charles Pollock wu then called and examined by
Mr. Philbrick. The claim pinosd before me, be said, was
for 10,0001. I sat alone, and both aides were represented
by counsel. I believe the two arbitrators agreed to differ,
In order that as umpire I should make the award.
The Lord Chief Baron—Was a apecitiz rum asked under
each head of damage ?
Mr. Mellish—lt was determined by the advisers of the
duke to make only one claim.
Mr. Pollock—lt was firet said that the duke's causeway
was taken away from him, and that this let him in to
claim loss for general damage to the house, including all its
ameaities, of whatever kind.
Mr. Philbrick—Among the amenities was that of view
or prospect specifically mentioned!
Mr. Polloek—lt is almost wrong to au loss of view or
prospect—it was rather comfort and privasy.
The Lord Child Beron—Waa an specific claim mad
far lase ot Impost ?

In the metal tradee geoerally quiet is experienced. The
wire trade is dull, sad from the electro-platers, edge.tool
makers, jewellers, end lention.makers, the reports are to
the same effect. la the foreign department the slight
improvement reported last week Ma been maintained.
The merchants have again distributed a moderate quan-
tity of orders, but a great deal of caution jis still shown in

Canada.

COTTON GOODS.—Marteerarmi, FRB. B.—Every one
deprecates the wild excitement and speculation which has
gone oa In Liverpool by which the price of the raw mate-
rial of our manufactures and the manufactured goods
themselves, he. been forced up till business is nearly im-
possible to any sane and prudent man ; but there appears
to be ne practical remedy. Week after week the return
of cotton purchased by the trade has been more than
double the possible consumption, and prides, unless we bad
a double supply. of cotton, must be forced up by such a
policy. Oar en and manufacturer., instead of sup-
plying themeslvie as they did last year, from week to
week, go into the market when they have taken a contract
which will keep their mills going for a month, to buy
cotton to cover the contract, in order to secure themselves
as far as possible from lose and bring about the very
evil by individual action which, as • whole, all of
them deprecate. Prices, which had gone up • penny
per lb. last week from the lowest point touched in Ja-
nuary, owing to this policy prompted by individual selfish-
ness—when there was no reason for an advance of a
farthing according to many shrewd men engaged in coin-
merge—have further advanced since Tuesday as much as
id. to id. per lb. To a great extent this checks business,
•nd buyer. of shirtinp, T clothes, mulls, and jacoonets for
the Eastern markets have operated only to a very limited
amount. Manufacturers of these goods, however, have
unfinished contracts, and must supply themselves with
yarn, and consequently there is a moderately steady de-
mand for spinning.. Home-trade yarns are id. per lb.
dearer than last week, and 30's to 40's weft as much as ~cl.
A moderate number of transactions in home-trade cloths,
which, with the exception of printers (which are 3d. per
piece dearer), have not advanced so much, is reported, and
domestics, long cloths, and shirtinp have been in fair re-
quest by oouutry houses.

WOOLLEN.—Learm, FIB. B.—There has not been
much twines; doing in the cloth halls this morning. The
attendance of manufacturers and merchants has been below
the average, and the markets have presented a quiet ap-
pearance. In the coloured hall the demand has again been
mostly for tweeds, bat the parcels which have left the
market have not been large. Low union cuatines have
also been in request, though the transfer has not been so
extensive as of late. Plain cloths have varied but little ;
the business done in these goods-has simply been in cases
of actual requirement. Hair-lists have not shown much
imProvement ; purchases have been wade with great care,
and a general disinclination to purchase largely has pre-
vailed. Prices have in many instances been in favour of
the buyer.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—llextironp, Fen. R.—The
slight improvement already noticed in the demand for
wool of the beet qualities still continues. The general
conviction that prices in the immediate future will not he
lower has led, in a market comparatively bare in supply,
to a more active demand to replace exhausted stocks, and
the result is experienced in a gradual improvement in
quotations, particularly in the better aorta of wool. Lin-
coln hogs of average quality may be quoted at ls. 51d. per
lb., and wethere of the sense quality at la. 4id. The
slight improvementuotioed in wool is also felt in worsted
yarns. For a long time machinery was only partially em-
ployed and prices drooping, but the Slightly advancing
tendency in the price of wool has served to impart a
greater degree of confidence to merchants, who have COn-
sequel:o3T shown more disposition to operate. Those who
were waiting till the lowest prices were reached find that
a turn for the better has been given to the price of wool,
and seek to place orders, for which in many cams better
prices have been obtained. Stocks have been reduced to
some extent, and machinery is somewhat better employed.
The :dem trade hardly shows an appreciable improvement.
There are still causes which must retard any rapid ad-
vancement, but still there is a more hopeful feeling auto
the future, erasing from the belief that the worst in plum
The improvement in the piece trade is most apparent in
Leary geode, especially in those adapted for the Eastern
markets. There is hardly any better demand either for
home, the continent, or America. The upward tendency
of the raw material and of cotton tends to give greater
steadiness to prices.

ROCHESTER, Fen. B.—The trade in this city ha.
a languid, depressed condition since our last rev ;•:
deliveries of wheat having been chiefly in ri.tail
ties. At the Corn Exchange there was a „

CIaLLIPILE., FEB. A.-There was a fair supply of wheat at
our market to-day, which met with a fair demand at last
week's rates. Thera wee no change in oats, of which the
supply was an average, and barley sold at 6d. more than on
lass Saturday. Prices - white, 275. 64. to

COLCHF-sTER, Fen. 8.-An increased supply of wheat, in
an improved condition and demand slow, at barely last
week's quotations. A steady sale for barley, at fully late
rates, with • fair show.
GUILDFORD, its. h.-The supply of wheat to-day was
larger than of late. There was a good demand, and late
prices were maintained. Barley was also in good supply.
and sold readily at last week's prices. Other spring corn
quite us dear as last week. Wheat, 66.. to fa is.; hnley,
38s. to 15e. ; oats, 245. to 31s. ; peas, 44a, to 46a. ; beans,
45*. to 52a. per qr.
FEB. 8.-Only a moderate supply of wheat ;
trade doll, but prices are no lower. A better show of
barley, and the demand scarcely so good as of late; fine
malting samples as before ; grinding the turn cheirser.
Other spring corn for feed and seed commands high rates ;
sad very little either of cute, beans, or peas offering.
Wheat to 525. per load ; barley to 535. per qr.
LIICEBTER, FEB. 8.-The supply of wheat was tole-
fable, there being a sprinkling of red and white sorts.
Business was sleek at theca Is. per quarter under the rates
of last week. New white may be quoted at 775. to 83s. ;
new red, 700. to 76e. per 36 stone. There wia hardly an
average supply of barley, and of really tine i.amples the
show was small. ' The latter were disposed of at about
the currencies of this day se'nnigbt, while ordinary kinds
were difficult to quit. Halting made 445. to 4:W. per
quarter ; grinding, 38e. to 41s. per 30 stone. For oat, the
demand was pretty good, and there being only. a limited
show holders experienced no difficulty in realising prices
somewhat in their favour : old, 35e. to 38e. ; new, 278. to
32a. per 24 atone. Beans came to hand sparingly, and the
inquiry proved firm at quite as much money as on the
week previous : old beans, 50s. to 52e. ; new, 44e. to 491.
per 38 stone. Peas not much altered. Fine flour, Ms. to
sfle. ; seconds, 04s. per 20 stone.
NEWCASTI.I.UPDX-Tna, FRB. 8.-The weather this
