LAW IN TE LLIOENCE.—Ja Ps 25.

CHANCERY COURTS.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Kindersley.)

THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY V. THE OXFORD, WOR-
CESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON RAILWAY.-THE OX-
FORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON RAILWAY
V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

The arguments in this case were resumed this morning.
The Solicitor-General and Mr. G. L. Russell, on be
half of the Great Western Railway, supported the in-
junction which his honour had granted. They alleged
that the present application was one of a nature purely
experimental, and intended as a ground for a proposed
application to Parliament to repeal the extension act,
and that as such it could not lee entertained by the
court. The plaintiffs were bound to proceed, until
they obtained a repeal of their extension act, according
to the provisions of it ; and were not justified in taking
any steps to thwart the object of the Legislature, which
would be the case if they could get their injunction dis-
charged, after it had been recognised by Parliament.
His Honour had expressed his opinion on a former
oc-
casion, and that opinion had been confirmed by statute.
Moreover, this was merely intended as a harassing and
vexatious opposition to tt.e working of the Great West-
ern line, and the application ought to be refused.
Mr. Bolt, in reply, denied the charge of vexatious
opposition on the part of the plaintiffs in the second
suit ; and after showing at some length that the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company had
ample means for carrying on their undertaking, and
contemplated, most positively, the doing so in strict
accordance with their act of Parliament, argued that, in-
dependently of the burthen imposed by that act, the in-
duction was in reality a clog upon their performance of
the duties imposed upon them by Parliament. They
would apply for a further and repealing act as speedily
as possible, and, in the meantime, the injunction should
be disselved. They would still be bound by the provi-
sions of the act, which they never had intended, and
did not now intend, to infringe.
The Vice-Chancellor reserved his judgment.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.)
HORN AND OTHERS Y. THE KILKENNY AND GREAT
SOUTHERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY COM2A.NY.

Mr. Rolt and Mr. Amphlett moved for an injunction
to restrain the defendants, Edwards, Ratcliffe, and
Davies, from proceeding by writ of scire facial against
the plaintiffs, or either of them, upon a judgment re-
covered against the above company for 4,4171., the
amount of a bill of costs alleged to be due to then by the
company. Tho bill was originally filed by the plain-
tiffs on behalf of themselves and all other shareholder.
in the cempany, except the defendants, to restrain the
directors from proceeding with certain actions,
brought by them for the amount of calls claimed
to be due upon the plaintiffs' shares ; the case made
on that occasion by the plaintiffs against the de-
fendants, the directors, being that the directors
had originally signed the parliamentary contract
for a very large number of shares ; that in the passage
of the bill through Parliament the line was cut down to
much less than its originally proposed length, and there-
upon much less capital was required. The directors
thereupon, behind the back of the plaintiff and the
other shareholders, struck off the whole of the unneces-
sary shares from those which stood in their own names,
without giving the other shareholders any option in the
matter. The directors alleged as their reason for se do-
ing that they had only signed the parliamentary con-
trAct for so large a number of shares for the convenience
of the company and to satisfy the requirements of the
standing orders of the house and without any intention
of keeping them. The plaintiffs however claimed to have
the calls on those shares paid up by the directors. The
Vice-Chancellor thought there was a serious case to be
tried, and had granted the injunction on the terms of the
plaintiffs paying into court the amount of calls claimed,
to await the further order of the court ; and these
terms having been performed, the injunction had been
drawn up. Subsequently to that the defendants, who
were shareholders in the company, and had been through-
out the advisers and solicitors of the directors, had
brought an action against the company for the amount
of their bills of costs. The directors allowed judgment
to go by default, and the solicitors then selected two out
of the three plaintiffs against whom to proceed by scire
faciae. The main ground on which the plaintiffs claimed
in equity to stay the proceedings was that the whole
proceeding was collusive between the directors aid the
solicitors, and done with a view of harassing and in-
timidating the plaintiffs from prosecuting their suit
against the directors. The plaintiffs farther alleged
in their affidavit in support of the motion, that the
bills had never been delivered or taxed, and that the
greater part of such bills was for costs incurred by the
directors in prosecuting two unsuccessful applications to
Parliament for extended powers, and further, part of
the costs was for other proceedings which they clearly
could not charge the company with. The defendants
were still acting as the solicitors of the directors, and
were defending the present suit. One of the defendants
had made an affidavit in which he denied that the pro-
ceedings were being carried on in collusion with the
directors, but did not expressly deny that they were
taken with a view to intimidate the plaintiffs from pro-
ceeding with their suit against the directors. The ac-
count given by the defendants in this affidavit was that
they had informed the directors that there was a large
amount due to them for costs, and that the chairman
of the board cf directors said that the directors thought
the bills ought to be looked over by some person, and
that Mr. flax, of the Temple, had been mentioned to
him as a gentleman who was in the habit of settling
bills of costa for the Great Northern and other rail-
,...pantes ; that Llio evlicitora thorsupon etstcd
their willingness to comply with that suggestion, and
that the bills were accordingly submitted to Mr. Dax,
who had certified as to the amount due. That that
rae communicated to the board by letter, and no answer
made, whereupon they commenced an action and re-
covered judgment, and issued the scire facial without
any collusion with the directors, and for no other pur-
pose than that of being paid, and that they were willing
to submit the bills to taxation if the court should so di-
rect. It was contended for the plaintiffs that no reason-
able person could avoid coming to the conclusion that
the real object was to stop the plaintiffs in their suit,
and not the legitimate one of getting paid. It was
an abuse of the right given them by the act of Par-
liament, and came within the case decided by Lord St.
Leonards (Taylor v. Hughes, 2 Jones and Latouche,
49), in which that learned judge had restrained a pro-
ceeding of a similar nature. Other objections made
were, that the solicitors being themselves shareholders,
it was by ne means clear that they could sue the com-
pany. But supposing they could, it was contended that
they could not enforce the judgment against another
shareholder ; for if one shareholder could thus enforce a
claim against another shareholder, as soon as that share-
holder paid the claim ho immediately became a creditor
of the company in the amount, and could recover against
the company, and then proceed by scire facies against
the shareholder who had first sued him. That would be
a sort of see-saw proceeding which the court would never
allow. And if it was objected that if that were not to be
allowed the creditor would have to:wait till the contribu-
tions due from each shareholder was ascertained, which
would in effect amount to winding up the company, the
answer was, that if the company was insolvent, and
there were no funds out of which the directors could
pay the claim, the sooner it was wound up the better.
Another objection was, that the application to Parlia-
ment having been unsuccessful, any appropriation of
the funds of the company to pay the costs of such ap-
plications would be a breach of trust ; and these solici-
tors, who were shareholders, were therefore parties to
the breach of trust, and could not recover against the
company.

The case was adjourned at the rising of the coma.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—JAN. 25.
CROFT Y. LUMLRY (IN ES LORD WARD).-RIGHTS OF
BOXHOLDERS IN MER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
This was an action of ejectment against the defendant
as the lessee of Her Majesty's Theatre. A few days
ago an application was made by Sir Fitzroy Kelly for
a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why Lord
Ward, who held two boxes in the theatre under a lease,
should not be let in to defend the action.
Mr. Wiles now showed cause against the rule, con-
tending that Lord Ward had no title to the boxes, but
only the use of them under certain provisions.
Lord Campbell said the court was of opinion that Lord
Ward had made out a prima facie case which entitled
him to their consideration, but still it would be very
hard on the plaintiff if all who were in the same
position as his lordship should be admitted as defendants.
Such a course would lead to endless litigation, and would
entail ruinous costs. The court felt inclined to make
the rule absolute, if some arrangement could be made to
obviate the difficulty.
Sir F. Kelly having expressed an opinion that an nr•
rangement could be come to between the parties,
Lord Campbell—Then, in that case, the rule would
be made absolute. Rule accordingly.

by that husband, a,d she had better protection in Mr.
Gibson's habitation, and acted perfectly right in living
with him. However, the present case arose out of
her female child, fair or five years old, which had
been forced from her tender care by her husband. Some
weeks prior the chid was brought to her, and was
as happy as could be until the 18th of this month,
when all the defendants rushed into Mr. Gibson's
house, in Gravel-lane and having grossly assaulted her,
forced it from her, and carried it away. He !considered
it a serious charge, mid that it came under the Ag-
gravated Assaults Act, which gave his worship power
to punish the parties by a sentence of six months'
im-
prisonment, and bail for a further six months. There
was another act of Parliament to meet the charge, giving
power to punish par les for taking away a child under
14 years Si age front its mother or father. She being
a girl, the mother was the proper guardian.
Mr. Combo —Will you give any one in charge for
that !

Mr. Bians—The rmther will, I have no doubt. The
child has been forciby abducted from her by the father.
She had the lawful ctstody of it.
Mr. Combe—Thert is not the slightest shadow or
pretence of such a proceeding. By common law the
father has right to thf custody of all children under 21.
You may go to Chancery if you like, but you can do no•
thing here.

air. Binns—Well, all I want is justice for this poor
injured woman. (Laughter.) She has been grossly
assa,alted.

Mr. Combe—lf you can prove that, you can go to the
semons for trial.

Mr. Binns—Let us go to Newgate, then ; we shall
have a judge and an honest trial by jury.
Mr. Combe.—l cannot oblige you. If the case does
go to the sessions, it must go in the regular way to the
Surrey Sessions.
Mr. Binns—l am willing to go there providing Mr.
Kelly gives up the infsnt te its mother.
Mr. Robinson—Certainly not.
Mr. Cornbe—What ! The father of a child give it over
to a mother living in open adultery with another man !
That's preposterous.
Mr. Binns—Then I ask your worship to hear the
evidence and decide it.
Mr, Combe—From what I see in the case, it is rather
a disgraceful one, and I shall send it to the sessions. If
it is so serious as you say to this poor injured woman,
the jastices can pass a sentence of two years. I cannot
do that.

Mr. Binns—Then I will call my witnesses, and go to
the sessions.

Mary Maria Kelly, a plain, meagre-looking, middle-
aged woman, whose appearance excited a great deal of
curiosity in a crowded Court, here stepped into the wit-
ness-box. On being sworn, she said—l am the wife of
Samuel Rosser Kelly, and I live at No. 29, Gravel-lane,
Southwark, under Mr. Gibson's protection. I have
no other roof to be under, as I am locked and barrel
from my husband.
Mr. Combe—That is no justification for your commit-
ting adultery. What is this Mr. Gibson !
Mr. Robinson—He keeps a chandler's shop, hut he
formerly was a minister of the Gospel at Bethnal-green,
and Mrs. Kelly was one of his congregation.
Mrs. Kelly, in continuation, said—About 7 in the
evening of Thursday, the 18th, I was sitting with my
child in Mr. Gibson's parlour. The child was near the
fire looking at her letters. I saw some one rush into
the shop, and en looking through the blind I per-
ceived it was Mr. Kelly, my two sons, and Mr.
Stuttle, my son-in-law. I got up and closed the
door, when my husband broke a window and struck
me on nay hand with a stick. It was a hard blow,
and I let go the door. The child ran upstairs, and
I followed into an empty room and bolted the door.
That, however, was immediately afterwards burst
spec, and all the defendants, except Mr. Morgan and
Mr. Bennett, entered the room. I held my child up in
my arms by the window, when my husband struck me
on the shoulders with a stick. My two sons and Mr.
Stuttle forced me down and took the child from me, and
ran away with it. My husband tried to get down
stairs, but I clung to his knees, and in my effort to pre-
vent his getting away one of his feet kicked me, and I fell
down stairs. I cannot say how many times he kicked
me. Blood came from my mouth when at the bottom'of
the stairs ;my arms and body were also bruised. Mor-
gan mad Bennett were not in the house. That is all I
have to
Mr. Combe—Then there is no charge against them ;
they are discharged.
Mr. J. Barns, surgeon, 4, Albert-place, Rotherhithe,
said :—On Friday morning I saw Mrs. Kelly, and exa-
mined her. I found ecchynose contusions on each shoul-
der and arms. There were scratches on the fore-arms
which had bled slightly. Her health appeared bad and
debilitated.

Phillip Lane, a lad residing near Mr. Gibson's, said—
I heard a scuffle in the shop, and saw Mr. Kelly strike
Mrs. Kelly with a thick stick.
Daniel Mullens, another lad (a costermenger)—l saw
Mr. Kelly strike his wife i❑ the shop ; the two sons
were present.
Mr. Robinson said he should neither arose•examine
the witnesses nor make any remarks on the evidence, as
the case was going to the sessions.

Mr. Combo then ordered the depositions to be read,
and bound the parties over to prosecute the defendants
at the next Surrey Sessions. He at the same time libe-
rated them •on their own recognisaneet.

WORSHIP-STREET.—William Smith, a elire wd-
looking, decently-dressed man, was charged with frau-
dulently obtaining 10/. by gambling with cards in a rail-
way carriage.
Mr. Edward bruivainat Austin said—l am an undergra-
duate of Trinity College, Cambridge, and came to town
from the university this morning by the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway. On the train reaching the Bishop's Stort•
ford station, as I think—

Pri,oner (coolly correcting him)—Broxbourne, it was.
Witness—Yes. On reaching Broxbourne the prisoner
entered the same carriage, and took a seat nearly oppo-
site me. After the lapse of about a quarter of an hour,
he opened a kind of travelling-case he had with him,
and, selecting some articles of cutlery—pocket-knives—
he offered them for sale. No one offered to purchase
them, and he therefore closed the case, and, producing
from his pocket a pack of cards, selected three of them,
which he placed upon the case, and began playing with
them. He next said he would venture a sovereign that
no one could tell him a particular card—a knave, I be-
lieve—.

Prisoner—l may as well mention it was th• Jack of
clubs.

Witness—yes ; he said no one could name that card
—the other two were not court cards—and the bets
began with a few shillings. I was induced to join in
the bets, which shortly got to U., and I ultimately
found that I had lest 10/. I thought the game seemed
♦ery fair ; he moved the cards about, and exchanged
their places in this way. (Witness here described the
method.) I knew it was a sleight-of-haud trick, of course,
and don't think that he had a confederate.

Mr. D'Eyncourt—You knew, then, that you were
betting against sleight-of-hand, or, in other words,
gambling !
Witness—Well, if gambling can be ,fair, this aet cer-
tainly was fair. 'Pad seen before in the newspapers
several accounts of similar praeticee, and I thought it
might be of some benefit to the public if I brought the
came before them. That was my only motive, and I there-
fore gave him in charge upon reaching the Shoreditch
terminus, whence we went to the police station, and
thence came here.

Mr. D'Eyncourt (to the priloner)—What are you,
and where do you reside !

Prisoner—fresideinLeicester, in High Cross-street.
lam a groom. For four seasons I was under Lord
Gardner as groom, and with others as groom, but this
year I have been out of employment, and lodge at dif-
ferent coffee-houses 'Ails in London.
Witness—ln the carriage he told us that he was the
brother of the well-known betting man.
Prisoner—Oh, that was only in joke, sir. (Hesitating
and addressing the magistrate smilingly.) I should
really very much like to explain this game to your wor-
ship, if you world let me, sir !
Officer—Ws found 121. 10s. in gold upon the prisoner,
your worship.
Mr. Austin—Another person lost 5/. to the pri-
soner, and a third also lost 31., I believe. I won once,
and se did the others, but the prisoner generally had
the best of it.

Mr. D'Eyncourt—Are they fair cards 1
Prisoner (indifferently)--Oh, yes, sir, you will find
the duty-paid ace rf spades among them.
D'Eyncourt—What did be call the game I—Mr.
Austin—Well, I think he mentioned corns French name
for it, which I forget, but only three cards were used.
.Nlr. D'Eyncourt (to the prosecutor)—lt is quite clear
thtt you can recoYer your money back again, but there
is Borne nicety required in dealing with this kind of case.
With regard t. you (the prisoner), I will accept your
own reeogniaances in 201. to appear again in answer to
the charge on this day week.
Prisoner—And may I have the money delivered to
me!

Mr. D'Eynceurt—No ; that must remain in the cue.
tody of an officer,
Mr. ,Austin—l hope, sir, I shall not be obliged to
attend here again. I must be in Cambridge on Satur-
day next, where I have very particular matters to attend
to, and, indeed, I am now only away for three days.
Mr. D'Eyncourt finally arranged that the gentleman
should be commulicated with when hie attendance was
required, and the prosecutor left the court, shortly after
succeeded by the prisoner, who at once entered into the
necessary securities.

FIRS ♦RD LOSE OF LIFE AT GM:NM-ClL—Yesterday
morning a fire broke out on the premises tenanted ley
l‘fr. East, coffee shop keeper, No. 6, Silver-street,
Greenwich. So rapid was the progress of the fire that
on the residents being aroused they found the flames
rushing up the staircase, and Mrs. East, aged 50 years,
while attempting with a son and a servant to escape by
the roof, became overpowered with the smoke and fell
senseless to the floor. From that time until the middle
of the day nothing was seen of her, but at length her
body was found on the basement floor of the house,
burnt almost to a cinder. The parish fire escape was
kept under lock and key in the churchyard, and there
being no conductor to attend to it it arrived too late to
be of any assistance. The fire was not extinguished
until the premises and contents were nearly consumed.
Nos, 5 and 7 adjoining also suttained damage. The
cause of the fire is not known.
