BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY.

There was not a full meeting to-day, many of the sub.
scribers having pro:eeded from Northampton to Crux-
ton-pails:, and the betting was in a great measure eon.
fined to the events decided there to-day. For the
Chester Cup the most noticeable feature was the down-
fall of Marc Antony, whose place is usul ped by Scythian.
There has been no change in either the Two Thousand or
Derby beyond a still further improvement in the fa•
vourite, which is St. Hubert in each case. Latest

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

• • .110IISE OF LORDS, MARCH 30.
THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY COMPANY. V. G. OGILVEY, OP
COVE.—JUDGMENT.
Sir F. Kelly and Mr. Rolt appeared for the appel- •
lants, and the Solicitor-General, with Mr. Anderson,
represented the -respondents;
This was an appeal from interlocutors pronounced by
the Court. of Session in Scotland in an action brought by.
the railway company against the respondent for the
purpOie of reducing and setting aside the verdict and
subsequent judgment of the Sheriff in a case wherein a
question of compensation was in. issue for the injury
which the company had done to the respondent's house
and lands in the construction of their railway. Under
the authority of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act
the Luna a certain portion of the respondent's
land, and in his claim for compensation the latter urged
as one ground for large compensation the fact that all
communication leading from hie house and lands to the
high road had been cut off by the course of the railway,
except by passing over the railway itself on the " level,"
a mode of passage which, he contended, was attended
with much danger to himself, his family, and his friends.
It was likewise argued on his behalf that there was a
larger amount of risk to be apprehended from the
alarm and fright which would be created on the shores,
which might have to wait while the train was approach-
ing and passing the level crossing ; and, further, that the
said level crossing would greatly lessen the value of his
estate, in the event of its being put up for sale. The
amount of compensation claimed by the respondent was
2,5001., but the company offered 8001. only, whereupon
he made an appeal to a jury, who awarded him 3601. as
the value of the land taken, and 5601. for the damage
done to the respondent's property by the level crossing
over the high road. The company thereupon instituted
their action to reduce and set aside this latter finding of
the jury, upon the ground that it was ultra vires of the
jury to find compeasation in respect of the level crossing.
The Court of Session, however, pronounced in favour of
the respondent ; hence the present appeal. The case
having been under argument a considerable part of Tues-
day, the whole of Thursday, and part of to-day.
The Lord Chancellor, at the conclusion of the reply,
said he was clearly of opinion that the act had never
contemplated giving the power to award compensation
for injury inflicted to property by the construction of
what were termed " level crossings" on a railway. He
would therefore advise and move that their lordships
should reverse the interlocutors of the Court below, and
allow the appeal.
Lord St. Leonards concurred.
Judgment entered accordingly.

REPORT OF THE CHURCH ESTATIS COMMISSIONERS.—
This report appeared simultaneously with that of the
English Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The commissioners
state that they have directed the preparation of annuity
tables, adapted to carry out the provision in the Episco-
pal and Capitular Estates Acts (which prohibits calcu-
lations on tables less favourable to the expectation of
life than the life tables appended to the 12th annual re-
port of the Registrar-General of Births, Marriages, and
Deaths), in order to facilitate the progress of enfranchise-
ment. The transactions approved by the Commissioners
since their last report exceeded both in number and
value those of the previous year. They have approved
the terms agreed on in IS4 cases of sales of rever-
sions, and in 34 cases for the purchase of leasehold
interests. The value in fee of the estates so agreed
Itoto be dealt with exceeds 900,0001. Acting under
the provision of the act of the sossion of 1854,
the commissioners have paid over to the common fund.
of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England and
Wales two sums of 100,0001. each in respect of the sur-
plus proceeds of enfranchisement, and on tho final ad-
justment of all their transactions a further sum of con-
siderable amount will become payable. The general re-
suit of the proceedings under the act of 1851, from
August in that year to the Ist of-March, 1854, was that
the commissioners bad approved the terms agreed in 30
cases, involving property of the value in fee o!
1,400,0001., and also that the Ecclesiastical Commis-
, sioners had made, during the same period, 312 agree-
ments, involving property of the value in fee 0f1,700,000/.,
so that the value of the church estates dealt with in the
preceding two years and a half exceeded in the aggre-
gate 3,000,0001.
