THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3 1839.

IRELAND.

NATIONAL TRADES' FOLITICAL UNION.—At the
last meeting of this body, at the Adelphi theatre,
Dublin, a rough draft of the Address to the Queen was
read, adopted, and referred to a Committee for revi- '
sion. Some discussion followed on the subject of a
motion for the establishment of a company for reviving
the Irish trade and manufactures.
DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL AT BANDON.— In
Bandon, which is represented by Mr. Sergeant Jackson,
of Tory•sanctified celebrity, the Liberals are using
strenuous exertions to make their influence known, and
to rally the inert power which lies dormant among the
popular party. They have invited Mr. O'Connell to a
public entertainment, which the Honourable Member
has accepted, but without naming the day for the
present. This intelligence has excited a considerable
share of attention, from the circumstance of Bandon
being the reputed stronghold of Toryism in the south,
where it was thought all but impossible to get up any-
thing like a public manifestation of Reform principles ;
however, the late disgraceful and disloyal proceedings in
England have produced the most desirable and asto-
nishing effect upon the public mind here.
CAPTAIN VIGNOLES.—It is probable that the in-
vestigation will be postponed from the Ist of next
month until the 10th. It is confidently asserted that
Captain Vignoles' letter to Lord Morpeth contained
little short of a hostile challenge. His charges against a
junior officer in the constabulary will be the means of
dismissing either himself or the accused. It is thought
that the correspondence between the Irish Secretary
and himself will be published.
REPRESENTATION Of CLONSIEL.—It is stated that
a canvass is going on for Clonmel, on the supposition
that the Attorney-General for Ireland is to be advanced
to the Bench, to be succeeded in that office by Mr.
Pigott, the Solicitor-General. The rumour is that one
of the Judges is about to retire, but his name is not
mentioned.
REPRESENTATIVE PEERAGE.—.I.4Ord Crofton, it is
now stated, will certainly be the new Representative
Peer.
A vacancy has occurred in the office of Deputy-
Registrar of Deeds, &c.. in Dublin, in consequence of
the death of Mr. Kiloahl. It is generally stated that
it will be filled by the appointment of Mr. Morgan
O'Connell, one of the Members for the county of
Meath. In that case, there perhaps would be a va-
cancy in the representation of that county. The salary

is 6001. per annum.
O'CONNELL TRIBUTE.—There was a meeting in
Cork on Sunday, to make arrangements for collecting
the O'Connell tribute at all the Roman Catholic cha-
pels in that city and county on next Sunday-week.
There have been several parish meetings in Dublin for
the same purpose.
The Chronicle's Dublin Correspondent says that
great exertions are being made to render the collection
successful, " for it is stated on authority, that Mr.
O'Connell is heavily embarrassed."

LAW INTELLIGENCE

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, DEC. 2.
MERRIMAN V. THE CHELTENHAM AND GREAT
WESTERN UNION RAILWAY.
Mr. K. PARKER applied in this case, exparte, on be-
half of the plaintiff Dr. Merriman, for an injunction to
re=train the defendants from taking possession of a cer-
tain portion of the land of the plaintiff for the purposes
of their works. From the statements of the Learned
Counsel, supported by the bill and affidavit, it appeared
that the plaintiff was possessed of landed property at
Eaton Swindon, in Wiltshire, over part of which the de-
fendants proposed carrying their line of railway, and for the
purpose of obtaining possession of the land, negotiations
had been on foot between the solicitors of the respective
parties, and an agreement had been come to on the part
of the defendants to purchase the land for 8001; that
agreement, however, had not been perfected, or the
money paid, notwithstanding which, on the 27th of last
month, a great. number of men had been sent by the
defendants on the plaintiff's land, and who immediately
proceeded to commence their excavations, notwithstand-
ing they had been warned from so doing by persons on
behalf of the plaintiff. Under these circumstances the
plaintiff had no other alternative left but to file his bill
and apply to the Court.
His HONOUR immediately granted the injunction.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, DEC. 2.
Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord DENMAN and a
Common Jury.)
WILLIAMS V. BROWN.

This was action upon a bill of exchange for
152/. 4s. 6d. drawn by Mr. Lutwytch, Russia leather-
merchant, and accepted by the defendant, a solicitor.
The bill was passed to the plaintiff a wholesale sta-
tioner, by whom the action was brought. The defen-
dant pleaded that he had not accepted the bill for value
—that it was an accommodation bill. It appeared from
the evidence that Mr. Lutwytch and the defendant
were co-trustees for the repair of certain works at the
King's and Queen's Docks, Rotherhithe, and an action
was brought against them jointly for the amount
expended in repairs of the docks, and a verdict
obtained for 4311. with 1431. costs.

The defendant alleged that the bill in question was
given to enable Mr. Lutwytch to pay his portion of the
damages and costs, while it was contended on the other
hand, that Mr. Lutwytch had paid the entire, and had
received the bill in part payment of his claim against
his co-trustee. _ _ _

Mr. PLATT appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
HUMPHREYS for the defendant ; and, after the case
had closed,
Lord DENMAN left it to the Jury to say whether the
bill in question was an accommodation bill or not.
The evidence was rather contradictory, and it would be
for them to say upon which side the weight of evidence
rested.
