Yesterday afternoon a special general meeting of the
proprietors in this undertaking was held at the London
Tavern, "to consider, and, if approved, to authorise the
directors to carry into full effect an agreement proposed
to be made between the Eastern Counties Railway Com-
pany of the one part, and the Newmarket Railway Com-
pany of the other part, for the purchase of the Cam-
bridge and Chesterfield lines of the latter company, and
for working their Bury Extension line, and also to sanc-
tion such applications to Parliament, if any, as may be
necessary to carry the proposed agreement into effect."
The chairman, Mr. Waddington, M.P., presided.
The SECRETARY having read the advertisement con-
vening the meeting,
The CHAIRMAN stated that the shareholders of the
Newmarket Company and those of the Newmarket and
Bury Company had held their meeting, and confirmed
the arrangement entered into with this company. It
would be remembered, he stated, that in 1851 a com-
mittee was formed for the purpose of considering the
arrangements which were proposed to be entered into by
the stern Counties, the Newmarket, and the Eastern
Union Companies, for the amalgamation of the three
companies. That committee recommended that the
arrangements should not be carried into effect. The New-
market Company shortly after applied to Parliament for
leave to amend their line between Newmarket and Bury,
and Parliament sanctioned a deviation of their line.
Matters remained in that position until about two months
ago, when the directors received a proposition from
the Newmarket Company, and an interview having
taken place, terms which will be found in the resolutions
below-were agreed to. Ile-then entered into a variety
o 1 statistics showing the good which would result to the
Eastern Counties Company by the adoption of the pro-
posed agreement, and stated that the manager had esti-
mated the probable receipts over the thirty miles of
railway at 5451. per week, or 28,340/. per annum,
against a liability of 27,7961. That calculation was
made by the manager without his knowing anything
about the proposed arrangements, and was not made for
the purpose of meeting the case. By the adoption of
this proposition the Eastern Counties Company would
be placed in a position to meet the aggressive warfare of
the Eastern Union, and to compete with them on equal
terms. After stating that the increase of traffic this year
over that of 1851 amounted to no less than 110,0001.,
he concluded by proposing the following resolutions—
" That the directors be and are hereby authorised to
complete the purchase of the railway from Newmarket
to Cambridge and Chesterfield, for the sum of 151. per
share. That the directors be authorised either to apply
out of any capital or funds which may be in their
possession or under their control, or to raise by
mortgage or bonds for the purposes of such pur-
chase, a sum not to exceed 210,0001. That the
directors be authorised to conclude an agreement
with the Newmarket Railway Company for working
their extension line from Newmarket to Bury St.
Edmunds, from the time the said extension line_ shall be
opened for public traffic, upon terms of accounting to
the shareholders in that line for an annual sum equal to
5 per cent. per annum upon an outlay not exceeding
45,000/. ; and that the directors be authorised to make
the necessary applications for powers to carry the above
into effect."

The DEPIITY-CHAIRMAN seconded the resolutions,
which, after a short conversation, were carried unani-
mously. _

A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the busi-

,rated 13Y the non-publication of the 04 book
of fares. The want of some conclusive authority of this
description, to settle questions of distance, is constantly
attended with great inconvenience to the public, and in
some instances, no doubt, with considerable injustice to
cabmen.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Bond, a gentleman residing
at Victoria-grove, Fulham-road, attended with a cabman
named Thomas Phillips, to hate a dispute upon the
above point settled before Mr. Henry.
Mr. Bond stated that he was driven by the defendant
from his residence (opposite the Cemetery), to the cor-
ner of Wellington-street, Strand. Several stoppages
occurred, and the cab went round by Bird-cage walk,
instead of the more direct road ; but still witness was
satisfied that the distance did not exceed three miles.
There was no dispute about the stoppages, each party
having estimated these at one hour, or 2s. ; but there
was an extra passenger, Gd.—making in all 4s. The
defendant claimed 58., on the ground
that the distance
exceeded four miles, and this was the question at issue.
The cabman stated that he was engaged the previous,
night to call for Mr. Bond, and was consequently en-
titlei to charge for the distance from his stand to Mr.
Bond's house, which was three-quarters of a mile. This,
he contended, made the whole distance four miles and a
half.

Profits divided annually.
Premiums computed for every three months' difference of age.
Half-credit assurances on a new plan peculiarly advantageous to

policy-holders.
• At the last Annual General Meeting a reduction of 30 per cent. was
made in the current year's premium on all particiAting policies.

Mr. Henry said the official book of fares had not yet
appeared, unfortunately ; but if the parties were disposed
to have the ground measured, it could be done on pay-
ment of ss. each into court.

E. R. FOSTER, Resident Director.
ANDREW FRANCIS, Secretary.

The cabman was committed to gaol in default of pay-
ing the fine, and his horse and cab was sent to the
greenyard.
Robert Clark, cab-driver, appeared to the summons
obtained by Mr. Bigg, fruiterer, whose application in
the " pine apple" case has been already noticed.
The defendant admitted that he was in error as to
charging 2d. each for the 120 pine apples, although they
nearly filled the inside of his cab ; still he thought it was
worth 3s. to take the lot, with Mr. Bigg, from Monu-
ment-yard to Covent-garden Market, but the gentleman
would not go to Bow-street at once and settle it.
Mr. Henry said the defendant was in error on every
point. He was wrcnz in consenting to take a load of
pine apples in the first place, for cabs were not designed
for any such purpose. Then he was wrong in seeking to
charge them as " luggage." He was wrong in demand-
ing more than his fare for the distance, and fnally he
was wrong in supposing that the new act gave him the
power to take the hirer of his carriage to a 1 police-court
upon the question of a disputed fare. By the law, the
hirer could compel the driver to go to the nearest magis-
trate, but the act gave no power to the driver to convey
the hirer to a police-court without the consent of the
latter. The defendant, therefore, was altogether wrong.
The defendant—But I did not use any abusive lan-
guage.
Mr. Henry—Neither are you charged with that
offence. Your object in taking the pine apples, no
doubt, was the belief in your mind that you could make
them the excuse for extorting an extravagant fare.
You must Iny the penalty of 405.. or be committed for
a month.

SOUTH YORKSHIRE. '

Yesterday an adjourned general meeting was held at
the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose
of receiving a report containing the decision of the
Court of Exchequer in a case pending between this
company and the Great Northern Railway Company,
Lord Wharncliffe in the chair. It appeared that the
question at issue was whether, in the contract between
the two companies, the parties contracting had acted
uitra vire; and a report was now presented which stated
that the case was heard in the Court of Exchequer on
the 24th and 27th May, when the question was fully
argued by Sir Fitzroy Kelly on the part of the com-
pany, and by Mr. Bramwell on behalf of the Great
Northern Company. The Court delivered its judge-
ment on the 6th July in favour of the South
Yorkshire Company, Mr. Baron Martin alone dis-
senting. Mr. Baron Parke, in stating his opi-
nion, said that in this matter the law coincided
with justice ; but, nevertheless, the Great Northern
Company, encouraged by the dissent of Mr. Baron
Martin, had given notice of appeal. Since the deci-
sion had been given application had been made to the
directors of the Great Northern Company for payment
of the tolls without prejudice, to January, 1853, as ex-
pressed in the contract, but that company had offered
to pay only 10d. (instead of one shilling) per ton, which
would not be sufficient to enable the directors to declare
a dividend. Since the decision of Vice• Chancellor Stuart,
however, that company had been paying them ls. 6d.
per ton toll.

- The CHAIRMAN, in moving that the report be adopted,
said he regretted the company should be involved in liti-
gation, and for his own part he could have wished that
the question at issue had been at once settled rather
than any further proceedings should be instituted. It
was understood, he said, that the appeal to be made by
the Great Northern Company would not, in the first in•
stance, be to the House of Lords, but to the Exchequer
Chamber.

The report was then adopted, and the meeting sepa-
rated.

THE WEST END AND CRYSTAL PALACE.
Yesterday the committee on the merits of this mea-
sure went into the case of the South-Western Railway
against it.

-Mr. TITE, the architect, was examined, and expressed
an opinion that it was desirable a development of the
promised attractions of the Crystal Palace should take
place, before a railway which would take, he thought,
nearly two years to make, was specially constructed for
the purpose. Apart from this, he was of opinion that
the existing means of communication by road and rail to
Sydenhamwould be sufficient to accommodate the traffic.
Mr. HAWKSHAW, C.E., considered that the line was
not well laid out for its objects. A better one, two miles
shorter, and costing 70,0001. less, might be constructed.
A growing desideratum, in connection with the metropo-
lis, on both sides of the river, was a well-organised su-
burban railway, so as not only to accommodate the inha-
bitants of the populous outskirts, but to relieve London
of the excess of traffic in its principal streets, and the
Crystal Palace line, if constructed independently, would
interfere with the adopticn of such a plan, and, if adopt-
ed, would be so far a waste of capital. The proposed
junction with the South-Western would, in his judgment,
be dangerous, and prevent the widening of their lines as
the traffic increased.

The defendant preferred the latter alternative, and
was accordingly sent to prison.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —Mr . Barry Du Barry
was summoned for refusing to pay James Russell, cab
driver, his legal fare.
The complainant said that on the 11th inst. he was on
the Haymarket stand. The defendant asked Min if he
would go to Finsbury-circus, Fenchurch-street, and
back for 3s ad. As this was more than the mileage fare
under the new act, he consented, and drove the defend-
ant to Finsbury-circus, remaining there a quarter of
an hour ; then to Fenchurch-street, where, having
waited an hour, he sent a message to the defendant to
state that he could not wait longer for the mo;:ey pro-
mised. The defendant came out soon afterwards, and
witness drove him to Regent-circus, and when dis-
missed was paid only 55., though he demanded Bs. as his
fare. He had been altogether engaged three hours and
a quarter.

Mr. Du Barry relied upon the bargain made in the
first instance, but as he had detained the cabman longer
than he expected, be had given him an additional Is. dd.
as compensation.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMA.TORRHCEA,
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Ilypochondrlasis.

Mr. Bingham said this was the clearest case that had
yet come before him. The cabman, in addition to his
fare, was entitled to the waiting time, and this made his
demand of 3s. more than he was paid even less than
he was legally entitled to. With respect to the bargain,
he had to remark when a bargain was made it was
to be interpreted fairly on both sides. The arrange.
ment to go to Finsbury-circus, Fenchurch-street
and back for 3s. 6d., no doubt meant on the part of
the cabman, that he would perform the contract in such
a way as to allow of five or ten minutes waiting, but
certainlynot that he was to have more than three hours
of his time occupied in waiting. It was not likely
that any gentleman in making a bargain of this kind
could have meant to diddle a cabman out of three hours.
Therefore, he must consider the contract as set aside,
and must require the defendant to pay 3s. additional
fare, 2s. summons, and 2s. 6d. loss of time.
Wm. Parker, cabman, was charged by Mr. Michael
Craig, 16, Charles-street, St. James's-square, with de-
manding more than his fare.
Mr. Craig hired the defendant in Pall-mall, and before
getting into the cab said " Mind, I hire you by the
hour." The defendant went to Kensington-gardens and
back, and then refused to be paid by time, alleging that
he had gone more than four miles within the hour.
The defendant said lie agreed by the hour, but as the
distance he had gone exceeded the four miles prescribed
by the act of Parliament, he conceived he had a right to
the fare by distance, which would be 3s.
Mr. Bingham asked the complainant if he required
the defendant to go quickly, or any particular pace ?
The complainant said he made no stipulation of the
sort.

Mr. Bingham, on referring to the act, said it appeared
to him that the defendant was not entitled to the shil-
ling over the two shillings for the hour which he claimed,
for though he had gone over six miles of ground, he had
not been required to do that distance. He ought to
have kept within the four miles, which was the distance
he was to accomplish for two shillings. if he chose to
drive such a spirited horse as could not be restrained to
thatss. distance within the hour, the driver must be at the
lo

Case dismissed.
Win.. Hatton, cab driver, was fined 10s. and costs,
for taking is. when his fare was Gd.
Mr. Gee. Russell was ordered to pay Gd. additional
fare, 2s. summons, and 2s. Gd. loss of time to a cabman.
Mr. Edward Penford was ordered to pay 4d. addi-
tional fare on a dispute whether the distance gone was
over or under eight miles, ss. for measuring distance, 2s.
summons, and 4s. Gd. loss of time to driver.

Mr. J. E. EREINGTON, consulting engineer to the
South-Western Railway Company, deposed that no ad-
vantage would arise to the public from the construction
of the Crystal Palace line, equivalent to the extent to
which it was calculated to cripple the South-Western
Railway traffic at its junction.
After some further evidence, the committee declared
the preamble of the bill proved, inserting certain clauses
protecting the space that may be required by the South-
Western Company for the expansion of their line against
inconvenience or encroachment.

LAMBETIL—Henry Grout, driver of the cab No.
1,350, was charged withl being drunk and incapable of
taking care of his horse and vehicle.
Police-constable Thomas Lee, 188 L, having proved
the offence, said that' on searching him at the station-
house he found on his person two sets of tickets, such as
the recent act of Parliament requires the drivers of cabs
to supply their fare with when they are required. One
of these sets consisted of the proper number of the cab
which the prisoner drove, and which were in writing,
and the other in print, and of a different number.
Mr. Elliott remarked that the fact of the double set of
tickets having been found on the prisoner looked very
suspicious, and proved the necessity of those who had
any fault to find with the conduct or regularity of the
cabmen comparing the number handed to them with
that on the cab. He then convicted the defendant in
the penalty of 205., or, in default of payment, to 14 days'
imprisonment.

WESTMINSTER.—Lieut.-Colonel Boyle, No. 22,
Chester-square, was summoned by John Estwell, owner
of a cab, No. ,281, for refusing to pay the sum of 6d.,
the fare justly due to him for the hire of the carriage.
Lieut.-Colonel Boyle, previous to the statement of the
complainant being received, was asked what he had to
say why an order should not be served upon him, when
he stated that on Tuesday last he hired the complainant's
cab at Palace-yard, and directed that he should be
driven to Buckingham Palace. The fare for the dis-
tance is 6d. Before he got into the cab he observed
some of the cabmen laugh, and some of them made a
remark to the complainant. After he got a little dis-
tance on the road, he told the driver toxo quicker, and
observed that if he did not he should leave the cab and
walk. He said that he could not go quicker. The
horse was not going at a rate more than five miles an
hour. He went a little further in the cab, when he got
out, as the complainant did not go any fiister, and
walked to Buckingham Palace. He asked complainant
for his ticket, as he intended to summon him. He was
compelled to leave town, and the cabman had summoned
him.
Mr. Broderip—Are you prepared to swear that he did
not drive you six miles an hour
Lieut.-Col. Boyle—Yes ; I am.
Lieut.-Col. Boyle was then sworn, and bavhig re-
peated his statement, again alluded to the laughter that
was raised among the cabmen upon hiring the cab to take
him to Buckingham Palace.
Mr. Broderip---Did it appear to you that there was an
intention to drive slow on purpose, in consequence of
the small fare ?

Lieut.-Col. Boyle—That is my impre;s:on from ti e
amusement among them.
The complainant said that his horse could walk fot r
miles an hour, and that it was in full trot when Lieui
Col. Boyle was in the cab.
Mr. Brodmip observed that his opinion was, that the
complainant was going at a slower pace than required by
the act of Parliament, in consequence of the smallness of
the fare. 'He should, therefore, dismiss the summons
with costs. The complainant must be caut'ous, and not
try the wcperleieut nail)) vr lle did he would be
AAA _ _ _

The complainant agreed to this proposal, but the cab- -
man said he had not got r, s . in his pocket, for it wa 3 his
first job that day.
Mr. Henry—Then as you cannot pay the ss. deposit,
I shall take Mr. Bond's statement as evidence of the fact,
and convict you of the overcharge, for which you must
pay the penalty of 405., or go to prison for a month.
Mr. Bond, who appeared rather startled at the sud-
denness and severity of the decision said he did not
think the matter would have taken this turn. The cab,
man was very civil throughout the transabtion, and he
hoped that the penalty would not be imposed,

ject ofilie act in enabling passengers to get at once to
the police station was not to dispense with the penalties,
but to save the complainants the trouble of applying for
