THE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY AND THE
MANOR OF WEST DERBY.

TRE EARL. or SEFTON AND OTHERS F. TUB MARQUIS
OF SALISBURY.—This was a motion in the Vice-Chancel-
lor's Court, on Tuesday, on behalf of the several plaintiffs
to restrain Lord Salisbury, as lord of the manor of West
Derby, near Liverpool, from taking advantage of any for=
feitures of the copyhold tenements of the manor, and also
from in any manuer interfering with the quiet enjoyment
of the plaintiffs and the other copyhold tenants according
to the custom of the manor, as the same should be settled
in the suit, and that in like manner Lord Salisbury might
be restrained from prosecuting the action of ejectment
against Mr. Gladstone, ono of the plaintiffs, and from
commencing or prosecuting any other action of ejectment
against any other copyhold tenant of the manor. The
bill alleged various customary rights in the tenants of the
manor to dig for marl, gravel, and stone, to fell timber
and erect buildings in and upon their respective copyhold
tenements. The plaintiff, Mr. Gladstone, had purchased
a copyhold tenement in the manor. for the purpose of
making bricks with the soil' and getting stone. Lord
Salisbury, as lord of the manor, had served Mr. Glad-
stone with notice to desist from digging and carrying off
the soil, and that., in default of compliance with the notice,
proceedings would be taken against him to enforce the
forfeiture. Similar notices had been served upon the
other copyholders, and Lord Salisbury had commmenced
an action of ejectment against Mr. Gladstone for the

purpose of asserting his rights. The other tenants being
anxious to have the questions between themselves and
the lord as to the custom settled in one suit, and to
avoid being exposed to a succession of actions, had joined
in filing th present bill, technically known as " a bill
of peace," and now moved in the terms above stated.
Mr. Rolt, and Mr. E. E. Kay, appeared in support of the
motion ; the Solicitor-General and Mr. Wickens for
rord Salisbury, contra.
The Vice-Chancellor said that the motion must stand
till the hearing of the cause. There was no authority
for what was sought by this interlocutory application—
viz., to restrain the lord from prosecuting his rights in
respect of a forfeiture and against a particular tenant,
who might prove to have nothing in common with the
other tenants. The motion must therefore stand over
until the hearing, and the particular action against Mr.
Gladstone could not be restrained.

IMPORTANT TO MACHINE PRINTERS.
TRUMBRILL AND ANOTHER V. TALLIS.

This was an action in the Court of Common Pleas, for
a 'nuisance, brought by the plaintiff, who resides in
Arundel-street, Strand, against the defendant, who is the
proprietor and printer of the Illustrated .21'ews of the
World, and the printer of the Daily Telegraph, carrying
on his business at the corner of Water-street, and 199,
Strand. The plaintiffs complained that by reason of the
noise and vibration caused by the printing press of the
defendant, their houses, let as lodging-houses, were dete-
riorated in value, and that those who lived in them were
kept awake all night by the noise. The case was commenced
on Monday, and concluded on. Tuesday.. There was
much conflict of evidence, the defendant's etidence being
that there was scarcely any appreciable vibration, and
that the noise of the coal waggons and Smith's news carts
in the morning was far greater and more disturbing than
his printing press. At the close of the defendant's case,
the learned counsel having conferred together, it was
agreed that a nominal verdict should pass for the plaintiff
for 40s, the defendant undertaking to adopt such mca-

sores as might be suggested by a—compete-nt person, to
whom the matter should be referred, as far as possible to
put an end to the inconvenience.

DISCOVERY OP HUMAN -S ICE LETONS .—TWO perfect
human skeletons have been dug up by the railway
labourers employed in excavating the earth for the abut-
ments of the new railway bridge over the Severn, near
Pitchcroft meadow. They were lying side by side with.
their hands crossed over their breasts, as though interred
in an orderly manner, at a depth. of twelve or thirteen
feet, in a deep bed of dark clay, or silt, which bore no
appearance of having ever been disturbed. They were
skeletons of rather more than the.average height, and in
both skulls the brain remained: in a pasty mass. The
teeth were nearly perfect. Ore the breast of
one of them was found some small leaves, apparently

The. horses and animals have come to England in chrr l

their
Moorish costume. The somewhat unusual spectacle
of a "lion hunt" took place on board on, the 2nd inst.
One of the Moors was engaged in feeding the lion through
a door which opened for ilia purpose in a part of his cage
or den, when, with a sudden spring, thy/. annimal dashed
through the opening on the steamer's. main deck, which,
as may be imagined, was soon "cleared." The hatchways
were at once closed, and measures promptly taken by
Commander Seccombe to secure the. animal as speedily.as
possible. For this purpose the commander, with the senior
lieutenant, boatswain, scrjeant of marines, and two men,
descended to the main decic, taking with iem the end of
a stout line; this was riven through a ringbolt in the
deck, and a running noose formed with the end. After
some considerable manoeuvring the noose was thrown
over the lion's head, the word given to the hands on
deck, who ran away with the other end of the line, and
the lion was pinned down to the ringbolt in the deck.
