COMPANY

Yesterday a Court of Compensation was held at the Town Hall,
Southwark, before Sir John Key, Alderman Copeland, M.P., and
Mr. Holmes, the Iligh Bailiff, and a Special Jury, for the purpose
of awarding the sum of 3964 13s. 4d. as a compensation to the
executors of a gentleman of the name of Cox, for three houses, situ-
ated in Canterbury-square, the site of which had been required by
the London and Croydon Railway Company.
The terms having been previously arranged between the parties,
the present proceedings were merely a matter of form. After the
Jury had returned their verdict, Mr. Burehell, the solicitor to the
Company, and who had recently started for the Coronership of
Middlesex, went up to the Jury and tendered to them 31.
The Foreman appeared rather surprised at the offer, and, after
looking at the money for a moment, said, Why, this is only ss. for
each of the Jurors.

Mr. Burchell observed that he thought this sum was quite suffi-
cient, for their time had not been occupied many minu'es.
The Foreman, in reply, said, that they might have been occupied
the whole day; but as they had been drawn out of their businesses
moue of them could think of taking less than 10s.
Mr Burchell untended, that as economy was the order of the day,
he was bound not to spend the money of the Company wastefully.
The Foreman here consulted with his brother Jurors, and then
handed back the three sovereigns ; at the same time he observed
that the legal sum was a guinea each.
The Learned Gentleman finding that the Jury felt no inclination
to receive a crown instead of a sovereign, handed, after some de.
mur, another three sovereigns, andleft the Court.
The High Bailiff having witnessed what had taken place, said,
that he was glad to see the Jury stand up for their rights.
The Foreman said, that seeing Mr Jackson in Court, the Jury
wished to know what was the sum they were legally entitled to.

Mr Jackson—The Act of Parliament fixes the remuneration at a
guinea for each Juror.

The innovation on the part of the Company upon this momentous
subject, appeared to create a great sensation in the minds of the
Jury.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

TVORSHIP STREET.

Two ruffianly looking fellows, named Blakeman and Cols', were
charged with a violent assault on Mr. Johnson, landlord of the Mul-
berry Tree public house, Wilson-street, Finsbury.
The prisoners, it appeared, entered the house and called for some
liquor, which they refused to pay for, after having drunk it, and
when the landlord insisted upon having his money, they fell upon
him and struck him several blows, which cut his head and face in a
frightful manner. They then left the house, but were shortly after-
wards pursued and apprehended by a policeman.
After reading them a severe lecture, the bench ordered the pri.
soner Blakeman (the more violent of the two) to pay a fine of 50s.
and committed him for six weeks, in default. The prisoner, Cole,
was fined 20s. or one month's imprionmint.
