LAW INTELLIGENCE

• COURT OF C.IIAIVCERY, ArAIL 10.

WERE V. THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY COMPANY.

The arguments in this case occupied the Court the
greater part of the morning. The case came before the
Court upon appeal from the decision of the Master of the
Rolls, dissolving an injunction restraining the defendant
from going before a Jury, to assess the value of a certain
piece of land, on the line of the Railway near Wakefield,
and from taking possession of the land. The plaintiffs arc
the trnstecs for the Clare Hall College of the advowson
and land through which the Manchester and Leeds Rail-
way passed. There was no difference in the suit between
the parties with respect to the land through which the
railway passed, but the question was whether they
defendants were entitled to another piece of land, for the
purpose of obtaining materials for forming embankments.
The portion of land required for that purpose was small,
but in the notice the defendants had not stated the object
for which it was required; but a precept having been
issued for summoning a Jury to assess its value, the plain-
tiffs filed their bill, and obtained an injunction, restraining
the defendants from proceeding under that precept ; that
injunction, upon an application to the Master of the
Rolls, his Lordship dissolved, and from that deci-
sion the case now came before the Court upon appeal.
Mr. Wiarcam was heard yesterday on behalf of the ap-
pellant and
Mr. WAKEFIELD and MY. BETIIELL followed on the same

Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE and Mr. BACON appeared for the
plaintiffs.
Mr. WAKEFIELD replied ; and
The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed giving judgment.
The Court rose at half past one o'clock, his Lordship
having to attend her Majesty's Drawitig.room.

VICE-CHANCERY, APRIL 11.

ATTINOODV. SMALL.—JUDGMENT.
The VICECHANCELLORjudgment to-day in this
case, which was argued before his Honour some time since
upon three demurrers. His Ho after going at some
length into the facts of the case, whichi gave in detail
at the time the case was argued,' stated hisice opinion to. be,
that, upon the ground of conduct the plaintiff was entitled
to no relief against Small, Shears, or John Taylor,he thei de-
murrers, therefore, of Bailey and Brunton must
given, with costs. But although no relief could be
against those parties, on the ground of conduct, the plain-
tiffs was entitled to relief on the ground of specific per-
formance, and therefore their demurrer must be overruled,
but without costs.
On the application of Mr. K. Bruce, four months was
given to the defendants to put in their answer.

amount claimed.

Queen's Counsel, &c , on Monday the first day of Easter

IiEPRI3SENTATION OF AYRSIIIRE.—We un-
derstand that Lord Kelburne has issued his address as the
.Conservative candidate for Ayrshire, and we wait impa-
tiently for some similar announcement on the Liberal side.
We cannot believe it possible that the wealthy Liberal
gcntry of the west will calmly allow this county to be
snatched from their grasp, and thus allow the adversaries
of Reform to fabricate, out of the intimidation and fictitious
Votes, an argument to show that this intelligent constitu-
ency has lapsed into Conservatism. We are convinced that
amore truly sound.hearted constituency does not exist, and
those who have the power to protect it from such a result
will be deeply responsible if they fail. It is time that the
advocates of sound Reform should take lessons in activity
and organization both from the right and the left. Mr.
Campbell of Craigie and Lord Dudley Stuart are spoken
of; but should either of these gentlemen fail to come for-
ward, there is still an ample field. Let the electors call
on some known and distinguished candidate to come for-
ward, and we doubt not they will be responded to. If
there is a reluctance in any quarter on the ground of ex-
pense, it will be very easy for the gentlemen of sa wealthy
a neighbourhood to remove the objection, by taking the
pecuniary arrangements into their own hands.—Scotsman.
, PHYSICAL FORCE.—A young man in Crieff
wno has become a lecturer upon Universal Suffrage of late,
had, we are informed, been holding forth to a goodly num-
ber of people whom he had congregated in a room in a
certain village a few miles from CrictT, and while expa-
tiating on moral and physical force, he was asked by one
of the auditory, a Conservative, what was the meaning of
physical force, upon which the lecturer lifted up one of the
candlesticks and knocked him down, saying, " That is phy-
sibal force, Sir I" This had nearly caused a row, but
moral force prevailed, and it was nuash,d,
