soap, which was on the counter, and placed it under her
shawl, She was about to leave the shop, when the shopman
asked her for the soap she had secreted. She said that she
had not any, when the shopman observed, " Yes you have,
and you must give it me." She then delivered it into the
shoman's hand, and said she would do so no more. She was
given in charge.

Police-constable 277 B stated that on taking her to the
station• hcuse she said she did not snow what could have
induced her to take it. Prisoner was searched, when half-
a-crown and lid was found in her pocket.

WATERFORD AND KILKENNY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held on Mondon at the London Tavern—Mr. C. K.
Colman in the chair.

The report stated that the balance left, after de-
ducting working expenses, amounted for the half-
year ending the 25th of ,March, 1864, to £4,996.
To the latter was added a balance of £202 from the
preceding half-year, making £5,198. From this
was deducted £:J,615 for interest on loa', leaving
£1,582 available for dividend. Although great
depression of trade existed, the traffic of the line for
the half-year exceeded every previous corresponding
period, excepting that of lest year, when 2,526 tons
of rails were carried for the contractor of the Kil-
kenny Junction Railway. The receipts for the
seven weeks since the 25th of March last were
£2,632 against £2,345, which showed an increase
of £287 as compared with the corresponding seven
weeks of last year. The directors recommended
that a dividend at the rate of 1.1 per cent. per an-
num be paid on the preference stock of the company
for the past half-year, leaving a balance of £lO6.
With respect to the extension railway from Kil-
kenny to Mary borough, and the Parsonstown and
Roscrea Junction, the portion of the line between
Kilkenny and Abbeyleix, a distance of 19 miles,
was now very nearly completed, and upon its open-
ing an addition to the traffic must take place, and
on its construction to Maryborough, being 9 miles
more, it would connect the Waterford and Kil-
kenny line with interior or midland railway system
of Ireland, when a farther considerable increase in
the receipts might be fully and confidently ex-
pected.
A long discussion ensued,in which Mr. T. Adams,
Mr. Delahnn ty, Mr. J. Wyles, Mr. Carden, Mr.
Robinson, and other shareholders took part, respect.
ing the management of the undertaking.

On the motion of the chkrman the report was
adopted; a dividend at the rate of 11 per cent. per
annum on the preference shares was declared, pay-
able on the 20th of June; Mr E. Power, Mr. C.
Venning, Mr. Smithwick, and Mr. C)leman, the
retiring directors, were re-elected, and also Mr.
Mackesy, the retiring auditor.
Mr. ADAM■ proposed that a committee of share•
holders be appointed to receive oilers from any nom-
Piny or person for leasing the line after the 28th
of January, 1866, when the present lease would
expire,

Mr. CARDEN moved an amendment to the effect
that the appointment of a committee be postponed.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to Mr. I. Wyls, stated
that the English directors were working harm°•
niously with the Irish directors.
The amendment was carried, and the proceedings
concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman
and directors, and _
especially to Mr. Delahunty for
his valuable services.!

CARMARTHEN AND CARDIGAN.
Capt Tyler, the Government inspector, has been
over this line from Pencader to Llandyssul, and
having expressed satisfaction at the inancier in
which the works were completed, it is expected that
the certificate will be granted, and that this portion
of the line which passes through an important dis-
trict will soon be opened for traffic.

MADRAS IRRIGATION AND CANAL.

Tneordinary general meeting of this company was
held on Saturday at the London Tavern, Mr. J.
Thomson in the chair.
The report was taken as read.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said the
operations of the company had progressed, but not
equal to what they could have wished. Daring the
past half-year they had been short of labour, but the
progress they had made had been in the right direc-
tion and 811CCeBeful. Below the Bindry aqueduct
rbe works had been heavy, and had demanded a
supply of labour greater than they cauld get. They
had received on capital account £737,130, and had
~xpEnded £493,670, leaving a balance of £243,453.

Against this they had an estimated outlay, between
May 31, 1864, and July 31, 1865, of X 272,000 for
works, and for cost of management £lO,OOO, making
together £282,000, showing a deficiency of 38,000.
It would therefore be necessary to make a call,

The report was adopted, and the proceedings
closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

EAST INDIA IRRIGATION AND CANAL.
The ordinary meeting of this company was held
rin Monday at the London Tavern, Mr. J, Thomson
in the chair.

The report was taken as read-
The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said the
operations of the company had been carried on satis-
factorily. The tidal canal, which had been purchased
from the Government, would be completely finished
and reopened for traffic in June. In some of the dis-
tricts they had encountered some delay in the mak-
ing over the land to the company. The engineer had
kept an account of the local traffic, and he antici-
pated that on the canal between Pawnchkorah and
Calcutta the company could not fail to realise a net
profit of 10 per cent. It was expected that various
sections, altogether 100 miles in length, viz., 62
miles of river and 38 canal, would ba opened for
traffic in the course of a month.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CAUTION TO OMNIBUS PROPRIETORS ♦ND HORSE
YEEPERS,—Mr. Henry Ward, omnibus proprietor, of
Stanley-mews, Paddington, and Henry Cunningham,
horsekeeper in his employ, appeared to answer the com-
plaint of Mr. Wm. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of causing a horse
to be cruelly ill treated by sending it out while in a totally
unfit state for work,
The driver of the horse was charged at this court a few
days since and fined 205., and the present proceedings then
ordered to be taken.
Mr. Love attended to watch the case.
From the evidence of Choyce and Temperley, two of the
society's officers, it appeared that while in Oxford-street
they saw a man in Mt. Ward's employ driving a pair of
horses attached to an omnibus laden with passengers. The
offside horse had four largo raw wounds under the collar,
and into which the collar was pressing. They then took
the driver into custody, and he was fined 20s. Choyce
afterwards saw the defendant Cunningham, who admitted
harnessing the horse and sending it out ; that he knew
there were wounds on the horse, as he had dressed them
with fuller's earth before putting on the harness, and that
the horse had been ill for several days. Cunningham also
told the officer that he had informed Mr. Ward that the
horse was ill, and that Mr. Ward told him to keep it in.
Choyce also saw Mr. Ward. who stated that ho had given
Cunningham orders to keep the horse in.
Mr Ward said he was not aware of the condition of the
horse, sometimes not seeing his horses for a month at a
time.

The magistrate said the appearance of the horse was
enough to make one shudder, and it was Mr Ward's duty
to see the condition the horses were in before they were
sent out.

Mr Cherry, the Government veterinary•surgeon, said
Mr. Ward was either very careless or reckless as to
his horses, and was one amongst a few bad proprietors of
horses he had had to deal with,

The Magistrate said he entertained a doubt in this case
whether the master could not be made responsible for the
act of his servant. He should fine the defendant Cunningham
40s. or fourteen days, and discharged the defendant Ward,
who, at the same time, he considered was bound in honesty
to pay Cunningham's fine.

THAMES.

THE QUEEN OF THE TARTAES.—VIOLENT ASSAULT
IN IHE COURT.—Ann Walker, aged, 38, a turbulent,
drunken, and ferocious woman, who has been frequently
in custody, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged
with assaulting her husband, Thomas Walker, a labourer,
in the service of the Trinity-house, Corporation; and also
assaulting Thomas Bogg, 508 K, and George Syer, 481 A.

The complainant Walker said his wife instead of being
a comfort to him was the bane of his life. She was an
incorrigible drunkard. She had continually robbed her
children of things he brought home to make them com-
fortable, and spent the proceeds in gin and beer. Last
night she was again drunk, and made a disturbance in New
Gravel-lane, Shadwell. She abused him and called him
fearful names, because ho would not give her money.
She then assaulted him and struck him several times.
She had been in the practice of stripping his home and rais-
ing money on his property to purchase liquors, and did not
care what weapon she used in her drunken fits. He was in
danger of his life, and begged of tho magistrate to protect
him.

Two police constables deposed to the violence of the pri-
soner, her droadful imprecations and blasphemy last night,
and the assaults upon them. She struck one of them (Syer,
431 A) on the mouth with her fist in the station-house, and
caused it to bleed copiously.

The prisoner, in defence, called her husband a vagabond,
wretch, thief, and other names,
and said, " I'll pay you
out." She then advanced to the end of the dock and threw
a thick slice of bread and butter at her husband, and said,

" Take that, you I'll murder you, I will." The
bread, which was flung with great force, struck the man on
the left eye. He staggered from the effects of the blow,
and immediately his ey© was much inflamed. The bread
was hard and stale.

The prisoner's husband was again sworn, and deposed to
the new assault, which every one in court witnessed.
Mr. Partridge asked the man how long he had been
married to the prisoner.

Witness—l was married to her one week before the Queen

was married.

Mr. Partridge said the prisoner was a bad, violent, and
disgraceful woman, and had sold her own child's clothes
for liquor—in fact, spending all She could in drink. He
sentenced her to two months' imprisonment and hard labour
for the assault on her husband, one month for the assault
on Bogg, and ono month for the assault on Syer—in all
four months' imprisonment.

The prisoner gave utterance to au oath, and said to her
husband, " Now, you -, yea aro satisfied, I know:'

UNCLAIMED WRECKS.

Mr. ROGERS asked the President of the Board of
Trade, by what authority the proceeds of unclaimed wreck,
to which the right of private owners has been acknowledged
by the Crown, have been retained by the receivers since
such acknowledgment of claim.
Mr. M, GIBSON said that this matter was in dispute,
and so long as that was the case, the Board of Trade could
only give the wreck to the parties legally entitled to re-
ceive it.

THE CONFERENCE.

In roply to Mr. DISRA.ELI,

Sir G. GREY said it was not correct that the Conference
would not reassemble. They had adjourned, but not sine
die, and he was unable to say the day when they would
meet again. (Hear, hear, and laughter.)

SALMON FISHERIES.

On the motion for going into e,mmittee of supply,

Mr P. WINDHAM asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department if it was the intention of her Majesty's
Government to bring ins bill this session to amend the
Salmon Fisheries Act (1861) ? He contended that means
should be adopted for the preservation of salmon, and that
a tax for this purpose should be imposed, or that a fund
should be raised by proprietors, instead of leaving ttie mat-
ter to voluntary contributions.
Mr. T. J. BARING agreed with the hon, member, but
the matter was one of intricacy. However, it was under the
consideration of Government, but he could not promise that
any bill relative to it would be introduced this session.
London, England, 1864-04-30

WESTMINSTER.

ILL-REQUITED SOLICITVDE.—EIizabeth Driscoll and
Elizabeth Best, the former of whom had a child three years
old with her, were charged with being drunk and disorderly
at the Gun Tavern, Lupus• streot, Pimlico.

George Everest, 76 B, said that, at 8 o'clock last night,
he found the defendants outside the tavern in question
making a disturbance. He requested them to go away, but
they refused, and as some persons collected he found it
necessary to take them to the station.
Driscoll, in defence, said that it all arose out of the
shameful conduct of the batman. She and her friend went
Into the Lou.o to bo.vo a pint of hour, whoa oho oat her
little girl upon the counter because it was tired, whex the
barman found great fault, and insisted upon her taking
it down. She objected, and, words ensuing, she and her
friend were put out of the house, and then taken by the
policeman.
Mr. Selfe—The counter of a tavern does not seem to
me to be a very proper place to seat a child.
Driscoll--The poor dear was tired, and, I am sure, could
do no harm.
Mr. Selfe called the barman, who said he certainly had
spoken to Driscoll about seating her child upon the counter,
and ho thought she had behaved very ill about it as he did
it from kindness.

Mr. Selfe—llow was that ?
Barman—Well, your worship, it is a metal counter, and
you may observe the child's clothes are very short, and I
thought it would bo very cold and very unpleasant to the
poor little thing to sit there, and so I told the mother,
when instead of thanking me for my kindness she took
offence, and told me she had a right to do as she liked with
her own. Then they went out and made a disturbance.
Mr. Selfe—Well, it appears all to havo arisen from an
unpleasant mistake of your wishing the child taken from
the counter. The defendants are discharged.
