PATTESON, COLERIDGE, and WIGHTMAN.i

THE, MARQUIS OF SALISBURY V. THE GREAT NORTHERN

RAILWAY COMPANY.

In this case the plaintiff was tenant for life of certain
lands in the county of Ilertford, to whom notice had been
given, on the 21st of May, 1851, that the lands in ques-
tion would be required for the purposes of the Gnat
Northern Railway. The company's Act was passed on
the 26th of June, 1846, and provided that the company's
powers for the compulsory purchase of land should not
be exercised after the expiration of five years after the
passing of the Act. That period, accordingly, expired
on the 26th of Juno, 1851. The notice that the lands
would be required had been given on the 21st of May
preceding, and the company had taken all the steps
which were necessary to enable them to enter, but before
they had actually entered the 26th of June arrived, after
which date, according to the Act, the company's com-
pulsory power for purchasing land could not be exer-
cised. The company having expressed their intention
to enter and take possession of the lands, the plaintiff
applied to the Court of Chancery, by bill, for an injunc-
tion to restrain them from so doing, and that Court
directed this case to be stated for the opinion of this
Court, as to whether the company, in July, after the
time for the compulsory purchase had expired, had a
right to enter upon the lands comprised in their notice of
the 21st of May.

Mr. Bramwell, Q,C. (with whom was Mr. Shepter), on
a previous day argued the case on the part of the
plaintiff. Mr. Phipson (with whom was Mr. H. Hill)
was now heard on the part of the company.
Mr. SmApTER having replied,
Lord CAMPBELL said the case had been very fully and
ably argued, and, as the attention of the Court had fre-
quently been directed to these words contained in the
Act of Parliament, and the decisions which had been
pronounced upon them, he (Lord Campbell) thought the
Court might now, with safety and propriety, express
their opinion. The question was, whether the defend-
ants, in the month of July last, bad the right to take
the lands comprised in their notice of the 21st of May
preceding. In deciding that question the Court must
look at the state of facts as they existed at that time,
viz., in July. Notice had been given by the company on
the 21st of May that the lands would be required, and
it was not disputed that all the proceedings required by
the 85th section to enable the company to enter and
take possession had been complied with. It was not
disputed that all these proceedings were perfectly
regular. But it appeared that the company had not
entered before the period pointed out by the 27th section
of the special Act, which required that the powers
of the promoters of the undertaking for the compul-
sory purchase of lands should not be exercised after
the expiration of five years from the passing of the Act.
Ihe company had not entered before the expiration of
the fire years. The question was whether they had a
right to enter. It had been already decided by the
Court, in" Doe dem. Armisted v. the North Staffordshire
Railway Company," that if the company had entered
within the time an action of ejectment could not be main-
tLieed to tarn them out. Tee Court had now to con-
sider whet was the effsct of omitting to make such entry
before the expiration of the five years. The question
was whether the entry was one of the compulsory
powers" which the Act said should not be exercised after
the five years. In his (Lord Campbell's) opinion, it was
not. The power of entry was the power of completing
the purchase, and was not a power of compulsory pur-
chase. The power of compulsory purchase had been
completed within the five years. From the peculiarity
of these transactions, it was sometimes necessary to use
words respecting them which did not properly belong
to them. There was no purchase nor any contract,
properly so called; but the Legislature placed the coin-
pally in the same situation as if there had been. In
" Osborne's case" it had been decided that, so far
as the landowner was concerned, ho was in the same
position after receiving notice as if a contract
had been made for the purchase of the land, and
he could compel the company to complete the purchase,
though the five years had expired.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 23.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONRLANQUE.)
IN RE WILLIAM NASH.
The bankrupt was a woollen-war houseman, of Noble-
street. The accounts, prepared by Mr. Maynard, extend
from October, 1847, to December, 1851, and showed
these results:—To creditors unsecured, 17,1571; liabili-
ties on bills of exchange receivable, 11,3181.; creditors
secured, 5,9291; profits, 6,512/.; proceeds of shares in
the Rock Assurance Company, 431/, By property given

Mr. LAWRANCE supported.
Mr. LINLLATER, for the assignees, asked for an ad

IN RE FRENCH AND SANDS.
These bankrupts, coal merchants of the Coal Exchange
and of Chatham, came up on the question of certificate,
supported by Mr. Lawrence. The balance-sheet ex-
tended only over four months, and showed these re-
sults:—Unsecured creditors, 9,3134; creditors secured,
2,2581.; 32,9001. The assets were returned—
good debts, 5.573/. (of which 4,220/. has been collected);
property expected to realise 1,4021.; property held by
creditors, 2,6951. The profits had been 1,284/.; capital
of French, 13,0001.; ditto of Sands, 3,000/.; trade ex-
penses, 4,2371.; drawn out by French, 5081.; by Sands,
1231.; losses by bad debts, 4,954/.
It appeared from the report of the official assignee
that the bankrupts had only been in partnership since
May, 1851. Sands had brought in 3,0001. The capital
of French consisted principally of bills, some of which
bad turned out to be bad.
Mr. Lawrence supported French.

Mr. Campton said that the assignees were satisfied
with the bankrupts conduct since their bankruptcy.
They had given every possible assistance to the estate,
and he did not oppose.
Mr. BAGLEY (who supporte 1 Sands) stated that he
opposed French cn behalf of the Loudon Joint-Stock
Bank, who had discounted bills for French at the ordi-
nary rate of interest, b:dieving them to be regular trade
bills, a large amount of which bills were in the hands of
the bank shortly before the bankruptcy. French bad
been summoned to this court in August, when he paid
8001.; but at the date of the failure the bank held 1,4951.
of dishonoured one of which, it appeared, bad
been obtained from a clerk of the bankrupts, named
Shaw, who, he alleged, had embezzled 1,6001., which the
bankrupt French had thought proper to treat as a debt,
accepting Shaw's bill for the amount, and still employ-
ing bun.

It appeared from the examination of French that
Shaw had been in his service about a year. He never
acknowledged Shaw as a partner, and did not consider
that they had had partnership transactions after April,
when the discovery of the embezzlement (as alleged) had
been proved. A deed of dissolution was signed. He
did not know that it contained a release of all his claims
on Shaw—he would not swear that it did not.
Mr. CUMPTON said he had seen the deed, and it did
contain a release.

Mr. Shaw, who was voluntarily examined by Mr.
Bagley, said he was manager of the London business,
with one-half the profits. He had been connected with
the firm of French, Son, and Co., from August,lBso, till
April, 1851. Upon dissolving partnership, at French's
request, he gave witness a letter stating that he had no
further claim upon him. At that time he was not in-
debted to French a sixpence, neither was he at the date
of the bill, the 26th of July. The bill Mr. French said
he had received from him he never saw before. The bill
referred to purported to be drawn upon Mr. Abel Wood,
whom ho never saw, by Mr. Baxter, of the Nettles-
worth colliery. Was not in the habit of getting bills
from Mr. Baxter to get discounted. Upon being
charged with a deficiency on the face of the accounts to
the amount of 4,0001., witness wished to go through the
accounts, and an accountant was called in. He then
received a letter from French, of which the following is
a copy:—

"London, April 20, 1851.—Mr. Maltman Shaw.—
Dear Sir,—At your request, and for your satisfaction, I
beg to state that the matters relating to the manage-
meat of the business, after going through the accounts,
are perfectly satisfactory, and believe me, dear sir, yours
faithfully, " DAVID FRENCH."
He did not deny being liable to those of the creditors
whose debts were contracted during his partnership, to
the extent of about 8001. ; but he assumed all the liabili-
ties by virtue of a covenant given him by French.
Mr. Mersey Stace proved examining the books of the
firm, before Mr. Shaw leaving. and discovered him to be
a debtor in a sum amounting to between. 3,0001. and
4,000/. Mr. Shaw, upon being made acquainted with
this, said, " Then your accounts are not worth a —."
The account was since reduced to 15,0001. or 16,0001,,
by deductiug from it the result of a private account be-
tween Shaw and French, the balance of which was in
favour of the former.

Letters were produced as evidence of the existence of
Abel Wood, the acceptor of the bill in question.
Mr. LAWRANCE said that the house had been carried
on by Mr. French and his father for upwards of 50 years,
and was'a most respectable one; that there was no less
than 10,0001. of assets; that at the time of the failure
a large amount was standing in the bank to the credit of
Mr. French—more, in fact, than sufficient to pay Wood's
bill, upon which 2s. 6d. in the pound had been paid by
Wood himself. The failure was attributable to the com-
petition which coal merchants had to sustain from the
railway companies.
Mr. BAGLEY submitted that Sands should receive a
first-class certificate. He had brought into the concern
a capital of 5,0001., and, with the exception of 2,0001.
due to the firm on a promissory note, the debts would
be paid in full.
After some further discussion,
His HONOUR said he would look through the evidence,
and give judgment on Saturday week,
Judgment deferred accordingly.

LIV SO LVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 23.
(Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.)
BREACHES OF TRUST BY A STOCHBROKER.—IN RE
ALFRED BAYLEY.
This insolvent, of Lothbury, stockbroker and railway
share dealer, applied to be discharged from prison.
Mr. Dowse opposed for Mr. Corbin Robert Corbin, a
farmer at Christchurch, Hampshire, and Mr. Parnell for
a Mr. Freer. A female, named Susan Piper, appeared
in person. Mr. Cooke supported.
The complaint on the part of the opposing creditors
was, that the insolvent had committed breaches of trust
against them. It appeared that ho was a bankrupt in
1842, and obtained his certificate; he now owed 463/,
and had 5071. owing to him, which were all bad debts on
railway speculations. In 1838 he was employed as stock-
broker to invest between 3001. and 4001. for Mr. Corbin,
and hod a power of attorney to receive the dividends, as
he resided in the country, and ho was requested to in-
vest the dividends with the principal. He now admitted
that from. 1842 to 1851 he received the dividends, and
did not invest them, but applied them to his own uses.
He had received, according to his own showing, 921.
Bs. 9d. in dividends, which he had not invested. Last
year Mr. Corbin gave instructions that the principal
and accumulations should be sold out, and it was then
discovered that for nine years the dividends had not
been invested. Mr. Corbin sued the insolvent, and he
was now in prison at his suit. It was stated that Mr.
Corbin was not in court to give evidence. Mr. Freer
gave the insolvent in 18244, 241. to invest for him in the
funds; he discovered when he went to the Bank for his
dividends that the money had not been invested. He
complained to the insolvent, and he had paid him at dif-
ferent times 9/. off the originil sum.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said there was a clear
breach of trust with respect to Freer, but the question
was whether the subsequent payments had not condoned
the offence.
A receipt for thnmoney was put in, having an official
appearance.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS inspected the document,
and said its appearance was likely to lull an inexpe-
rienced person to sleep.
Mr. Freer said he was aware when he received the
money from the insolvent, that the money bad not been
invested; he received the 91., not for interest, but as a
part of the principal.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS intimated that the sum
had been converted into a debt; at all events, the breach
of trust had been condoned.
Susan Piper claimed 61. lOs , the balance of 101. given
to the insolvent in 1846 to invest in the Funds. She
was a servant at Eton College at the time. She well now
married. _ _ _

Mr. COOKE objected to her evidence.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS declared that he should
receive her evidence under the new Act. He was satis-
fied that the Legislature intended wives to be witnesses.
Mr. COOKE remarked that the Lord Chancellor bad
expressed a different opinion.
Mr. Commissioner Prmurs could not see how an ob-
jection, or the want of an übjectice, could make any
difference in the examination of a wife. S3verallearned
judges had allowed wives to be examined as witnesses,
and ho should do so until an alteration was made either
in the law itself or in the practice of the superior courts.
The complainant stated that she gave the insolvent
201. to invest in the Funds, and did not know that it was
not invested until a year and a half afterwards. When
she found it out the insolvent told her he was very sorry
and would give it to her back. She had received dif-
ferent sums from him.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said the case was similar
to Freer's. He could not see how there was an existing
breach of trust on which the poor woman could require
a judgment.
Mr. DOWSE contended that he had established a clear
case of a breach of trust. The insolvent was required
to invest the dividends for Mrs. Corbin, but for nine
years had received them and applied them to his own
Uses.

Mr. PARNELL was heard on the part of Freer, urging
that notwithstandiug the receipt or money, there
was
still a clear breach of trust by the insolvent with re-
spect to the balance.
Mr. CooKE for the insolvent, was proceeding to con-
tend that the case of Mr. Corbin was not proved; that
he had not been called.
Mr. Commissioner PRILLIPS said he was'of opinion
that it was clearly proved; but if Mr. Cooke desired the
(;
attendance of that creditor the Mr. C A

nature of the offence was the cruellest to be imagined—
that of a breach of trust. Although he was saved from
the penalty in two instances, no one could doubt that the
case of the poor woman who had saved her hard earnings
was a cruel one. Breaches of trust were flagrant cases
—whether committee jby a cerson who was required by
a dying man as a friend to his children, or by a person
in his station, who had deluded the parties by a receipt
having the appearance of a document from the Bank.
His Honour concluded an impressive address to the in-
601Yent by adjudging him to an imprisonment, under

the discretionary clause, of six months, and for twelve
calendar months at the suit of Mr. Corbin, for contracting
his debt by means of a breach of trust.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,.
111 A N SION- !lOUS E.
Mr. Francis W. Stevens, of the Stock Exchange, was
on Thursday summoned before Sir John Key for hating
used language towards tLe complainant calculated to
lead to a breach of the peace, in the presence, of other
persons, in the neighbourhcod of that building.
Mr. James Altrul Temple, who stated that ho was a
commission•agent, was sworn.

The defendant produced the card of the complainant,
to show that the litter had appeared in the character of
a sworn broker, without having any claim to the privi-
lege conferred by the Court of Aldermen.
Sir JOHN KEY stated that the pretence alluded to by
the defendant was one relating to which a magistrate
had no jurisdiction, and that in another tribunal such
matter was recognised and subjected to heavy punish-
ment It was, therefore, necessary to proceed in the
usual course with the evidence in support of the com-
plaint.

The complainant then said that on the afternoon of
Saturday as he was passing through Hercules-passage,
near the Stock Exchange, ha saw the defendant on one
side of the passage, and for the purpose of preventing
any meeting between them passed over to the other
side. The defendant, however, approached nil,
looked rudely into his face, took hold of the
front of his coat, acted unwarrantly in other respects,
and used the most opprobrious and offensive language
towards him. The language consisted of epithets,
amongst which was " You are a thief," and it was no=
compaoied with threats, of which some opinion might
bo formed from the fact that the defendant declared the
intention with an oath to knock his teeth down his
throat and tar his face if be dared to appear near the
place again. The complainant assured the Alderman
that all he wished was to be protected from insult, so
that he might pursue his avocation without interruption.
The defendant said he readily admitted that be bad
used language imputing dishonesty to the complainant,
but he certainly felt a perfect justification in adopting
the use of the words, as the complainant had acted in so
gross a manner in certain sharp transactions as to be
handed over by the Court of Aldermen to the legal at-
tentions of the City solicitor, who was at the present
moment dealing with the case. The defendant here
produced a newspaper which he said contained a fall and
true account of the Stock Exchange transaction.
Sir JOHN KEY said that the course stated to have been
pursued by the complainant upon the occasion alluded
to could not justify the conduct of the defendant, who, if
he had matter of complaint of any kind, might have ap--
pealed to a tribunal qualified to exercise the requisite
authority and Kiva the necessary redress.
The defendant was then required to enter into his own
recognisance for the sum of 501. to keep the peace to•
wards the complainant fur the space of three calendar
months.
