COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—YESTERDAY.
Before Lord Campbell, Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice

' Erie, and Mr. Justice CroMpton.
REGINA v. EvANs.—ln this case a rule had been obtained
so far back as November, 1857, calling upon the defendant,
who holds the office of supervisor of -the navigation of the
river Dee under the Corporation of the city of Chester,
to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, compelling
him to take soundings of the river Dee, so as to entitle the
River Dee Navigation Company to levy certain tolls
upon all vessels, coming up the river. The real question
for the Court was whether the company was prima facie
able to show a state of things that entitled them to
levy the tolls in question... The company was created;
by the 6th of Geo. 11. for the purpose of improving the
navigation of the river Dee from the city of Chester to the
sea; and, besides being entitled to exact certain tolls, the
company was entitled to embank a tract of waste land, so
that in the course of time they had embanked many thousands
of acres of land, and were in receipt of an income of £B,OOO
a year from that source. By that act the company were
bound to maintain a depth of 16 feet of water in the river.
Subsequently, however, another act was.'passed—namely,
the 17th of George 11., which reduced the depth of water
to 15 feet, and declared that the .tolls should cease if an.
affidavit be made by the supervision of the Corporation of
Chester, that the depth of the wat-r had fallen below 15 feet.
In 1851 the Act .14 and 15 Vic., cap. 87, entitled the
" Restoration of the Standard of the River Dee," was passed,,
and
