SIN( ULAR RAILWAY SUIT.

On Wednesday week an action for one penny farthing
came before Mr. Sheriff Arkley in the Edinburgh Court,
which, though of very small amount, is, in point of
principle, of some importance. John Reaveley, wool-
sorter, Stow, pursued the North British Railway Com-
pany for the above-mentioned sum, being, as he alleged,
the sum which they overcharged him as a parliamentary
class traveller on their line. The Railway Act on which
he founded, stated the price to the third class travellers
to be " one penny for each mile travelled ;" and he ar-
gued that to entitle the company to charge one penny,
they must carry him a whole mile ; and that if they
carried him only three-quarters of a mile, they could
charge noching. He had travelled from Galashiels to
Stow on the 3d September, and he was charged 7d.,
which he contended was an overcharge of one farthing,
the distance being only 64 miles. He had also travelled
from Fountainhill to Stow, for which he was charged
sd,s, and he showed from the time-tables that the ois-
tance was only four miles. This was the alleged over-
charge of one penny. The pursuer, who seemed an
intelligent workman, stated that the money was not his
object—it was to have the principle determined for
the benefit of himself and fellow-workmen, to whom
a penny often repeated was an object, and he pressed
his argument with much ability and tact, Mr.
Sheriff Arkley listened to him with great attention,
and quite entered into the spirit of the pursuer,
that if he was overcharged, he was entitled to redress.
Mr. Nairne, the secretary of the railway, appeared,
and disclaimed on the part of the company any wish to
do more than to state what he considered their rights to
be ; and he quoted a section of a railway act, which de-
clared that fractions of miles were to be calculated as
miles ; and that the distance from Fountainhall to Stow
being 259 yards more than the four miles, the company
was entitled to charge a penny for these ,yards the same
as a mile. He referred the sheriff to some other acts of
Parliament, which Mr. Arkley is to look at, and give his
decisio❑ on the 10th current, at 12 o'clock. At the call-
ing of the case yesterday, no appearance was made for
the railway company, and Sheriff Arkley gave judgment
in favour of the pursuer, thus ruling that a railway com-
pany are not entitled to charge third-class passengers for
a fraction of a mile as a mile.—Glasgow Daily Mail.

THE HEREFORD MURDER-COMMITTAL
OF THE PRISONERS-

HEREFORD, Thursday.—On the termination of the
inquiry before the coroner, in which five of the pri-
soners were committed on the charge of manslaughter,
and one Charles Smith, discharged on the evidence of a
girl named Fanny Gardiner, who was called to prove an
alibi on his part, the Mayor of Hereford ordered the
police to re-apprehend him, which was of course quickly
done ; and having expressed himself dissatisfied with the
verdict of the jury, further directed that the whole of the
witnesses should be examined before him, and the pri-
soners arraigned en the charge of wilful murder.

His Worship also secured the attendance of Henry
Horn, E-3q., the recorder for the city; and several other
magistrates, and the investigation commenced on Monday
morning and terminated last night.
A complete crowd of witnesses were rigidly examined,
and as rigidly cross-examined on the part of the prisoners
by their counsel.
The Recorder fully stated theremons that hadactuated
the bench in this inquiry, and concluded by saying that
they did not think they should be doing their duty to
the laws of the country if they did not commit the whole
of the prisoners on the charge of wilful murder.
They were accordingly committed for trial on that
charge.
Notwithstanding the reward of 501. has been offered
for the capture of Whitelock and Green , they are still at
large.
