COURT OF CHANCERY.
FINCHIN V. THE LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY

COMPANY.

This part-heard appeal, from an order of Vice-Chan-
cellor Wood, was this morning resumed.
The Lord Chancellor proceeded to deliver the judg-
ment of the Court, and said the matter, as represented to
him, was that the plaintiffs were the owners of a manu-
factory which was situated on each side of the Black-
wall Railway ; that the company, having obtained
powers to widen the railway, proposed to do so at the
point where the manufactory of the plaintiffs stood, not-
however, by building on the land, but by means of over-
hanging buttresses, and they gave the plairtiffs notice
under the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, that they
proposed to take what had been called a " stratum of
air" over the plaintifrs manufactory, but which was, in
fact, an "easement"—namely, a running over the plain-
tiff's property without touching it. The notice by the
company to take this casement was only given two or
three days before the expiration of the compulsory
powers. This notice was given in July, 1853, and in
the following August the plaintiffs gave a counter notice
to the company, requiring thorn to take and purchase
the whole of the manufactory. Matters remained in
this state between the parties until the 4th of May, 1854,
when the company gave the plaintiffs notice of their in-
tention to caase a speciel jury to be summoned for the
purpose of settling the amount of compensation to be
paid by the company for the purchase of the easement
and right of passage over the yard and manufactory, and
for any damage sustained. The plaintiffs then filed
their bill for an injunction to restrain the company from
taking any of the steps mentioned in the last notice ;
and the Vice-Chancellor, being of opinion that the com-
pany were bound to take the whole of the manufactory,
or no part of it, granted the injunction asked for,
upon the undertaking of the plaintiffs to sell the pre-
mises to the company and make a good title to them.
Subsequently the company withdrew their notice of
May, 1854, and gave a fresh notice, to the effect that
they were willing to purchase the plaintiffs' estate and
interest in the whole of the manufactory. The plain-
tiffs then filed a new bill to restrain the company from
preceding under the last notice, and on the 15th of
August applied cx parte to him (the Lord Chancellor)
for an injunction, which he granted for the following
reason—namely, that this Court would not allow a
powerful company to take proceedings of which there
was a doubt as to their legality. On behalf of the com-
pany it had been contended that an "easement" was a
"hereditament ;" but looking at the whole context of
the act, he (the Lord Chancellor) was inclined to think
that " hereditament" there meant a coporeal one—
something that might be a subject of tenure, and not a
mere right of way. Moreover, ho was of opinion that
the Legislature never intended that a right of way should
be taken by the company from an owner, any more than
it intended a right of common or of turbary should be
taken. He did not agree with the Vice-Chancellor in
thinking that the notice to take the right of way was a
notice to take a part of the manufactory, and therefore
the view that he had taken of the case hastily, when it
was before him cm parte had not been altered at present.
At the same time he should leave himself open to con-
viction. On the main question, however, as to the ille-
gality of the original notice, his (the Lord Chancellor's)
opinion remained unaltered, and he still thought it was
not warranted by the Lands Clauses Act. Then
arose the question—ought the injunction to go I Upon
that point his opinion was changed, and he had
taken a new view of the case, and was now convinced
that this Court ought not actively to assist the
plaintiffs in enforcing an equity, when by their own
conduct they had raised an equity against themselves by
giving the counter notice of August 1853. Whether,
therefore, the original notice of the company were in-
valid or not, did not matter, as the plaintiffs, by sub-
stantially telling the company that they were willing to
sell to them the whole manutactury, had deprived them-
selves of any equitable right to an injunction to restrain
the company from taking any steps for the purpose of
ascertaining the value of the whole manufactory. There
could be no doubt that the company had been under
this impression—that the plaintiffs, although unwilling
to sell the right of way by itself, were quite willing to
sell the whole property, of which the right of way formed
a part. Upon this impression the company had doubt-
lessly acted, and it was therefore rather too late for the
plaintiffs now to say, after leading the company to sup-
pose that they were quite willing to sell the whole, that
the company should be restrained from taking any steps
to effectuate the proffer of the plaintiffs. In fact, the
plaintiffs had created a counter equity to the one they
possessed respecting the invalidity of the first notice, and
could not expect any indulgence from a court of equity.
If, therefore, the parties could not come to any terms of
arrangement the appeal must be dismissed with costs.
The Lords Justices concurred.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
IN RE ANDREWS.

This was the last examination meeting in the case of
R. Andrews, corn-dealer, of Braintree. His debts are
about 1,2001.
The solicitor to the assignees said this case was one of
an unusually flagrant kind. The bankrupt had contracted
debts to a considerable amount, bad divested himself of
every shilling's worth of property, and then, being im-
prisoned, had petitioned of the Insolvent Court. The
commissioner there refused to release him, unless he fur-
nished accounts which he obstinately refused to do, and
was twice remanded. He then contrived to contract
another debt, and had his case brought into bankruptcy.
Ho was released from custody, on undertaking to fur-
nish accounts; but, though two months had since elapsed,
he had not yet filed his balance-sheet. The creditors felt
that the only mode of getting hold of the property which
the bankrupt had fraudulently carried away was by im-
prisoning him.
His Honour adjourned the examination sine die, with-
held protection, and granted a certeficate of execution
under the 257th section.

IN RE JONES AND GOLD.—" HIS LORDSHIP'S LARDER."
The bankrupts had kept the above eating-house in
Cheapside. This was the certificate meeting. The ac-
counts have already appeared. The unsecured debts
were under 3,0001.
Mr. Pearce, for the assignees, offered no opposition to
the bankrupts having their certificates.
Me. Lawrance, for the bankrupts, attributed their
failure, to the high price of bread and provisions, and to
the large expenses necessarily incurred in establishing
the businesss. Gold had begun with a capital of
1,7001., but this had been all absorbed ; and altogether
the outlay had been about 5,0001. The bankrupts had
done their utmost since the failure to assist the as-
signee.
His Honour granted immediate certificate of the
second class.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
IN RE JAXES FRANCIS KITT.
This insolvent, who applied under the Protection Act,
was opposed by a Jew named Costa, who alleged that
he gave the insolvent 2/. for a ticket to go to New York,
on the understanding that it was transferable. It
turned out not to be transferable, and he had lost his
money. He sued him iu the County Court.
The insolvent denied that he had represented the
ticket as transferable.
It came out in evidence that he had incurred debts,
without ♦alue for another person.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips refused to name a day for
the final order, as debts were incurred without value,
and recommended Costa, on the next occasion to bring
evidence to support his statement.
Protection withheld.
HINT TO DEBTORS.
Several cases were heard, under the Protection Act,
of persons who had become security for loan societies
for their friends when they could not pay their own
debts.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips lectured the applicants,
and refused to grant protection. His Honour permitted
them to apply in short periods for protecting orders.
Such conduct could not be justified.

SHERIFF'S COURT.
WILMOT V. THB LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST

RAILWAY COMPANY.
This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages in
an (action, brought to recover for the non-delivery of
goods, entrusted to the defendants for conveyance to
Strood in Kent.
Mr. Prentice appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Maynard
for the defendants.
The plaintiff was a dealer in Government stores, re-
siding at Chatham, and in August last he went to a sale
at Portsmoutb, where he purchased a quantity of hemp,
oakum, &c., to the amount of 2001. 12s. Bd. Re directed
at first that they should be sent by water, but on his
return he sold what he bad bought for 3081. 15s. 9d.,
and in consequence he found it necessary to coun-
termand the order for the goods to be sent by water, and
he wrote to his agent at Portsmouth to send them by
railway to Strood. They were accordingly delivered at
the railway, and entered for that destination, but they
did not arrive, and after some inquiry it was found
that they bad been sent to Stroud in Gloucesterstire.
This was not discovered until 17 days after they should
have been delivered, and the plaintiff then refused to
receive them. An offer of 101. was made on the part
of the defendants, but it was refused, the plaintiff ask-
ing 601. for his loss on the bargain ; that was refused,
and he brought this action to recover the whole amount
he paid for the goods, and the difference bet t
ween hat
and the sum he sold them for. The goods were still
in the possession of the company.
After hearing the evidence and a good deal of argu-
ment,
The jury ultimately assessed the damages at the
f whole sum claimed-2081, 15s. 9d.

o'clock, when he was awoke by a noise as if some per-
sons were in the house. He raised himself up in bed,
and at the same moment his bed-room door flew open,
and three men entered. One of these men had his
face whitened, wore a false moustache, had his coat-
sleeves turned inside out, and was armed with a
pistol ; another had his face reidened, and carried
a large carving-knife ; and the third man carried a
candle over his head with one hand, had a crow-
bar in the other, and the lower part of his face was
covered with something black. A. fourth man put his
head in at the door, but did not enter the room. As
soon as the men saw the prosecutor, one of them ex-
claimed, " Shoot him, shoot him, shoot him dead !"
But another said, " Stop, give him time to tell where his
money is first." The man with the pistol then demanded,
" 'Where's your money?" Prosecutor looked earnestly
at the men, who, observing this, forced him down in Led,
and covered the bed-clothes over him. They pressed
upon him so heavily, that he requested them not to be
so rough, and one of them again demanded, " Now,
where's your money? Tell, be quick, or you're a dead
man." Being afraid of the consequences of a refusal,
he told them his money was in a box in his mother's
room ; and one of the men then said, "You go and find
the money, and I'll stand guard." Two of the men then
went to his mother's room, and the third man sat himself
down by the prosecutor's bedside, and laid his arm over
his neck. He employed his other hand in rifling the pock-
ets of prosecutor's clothes, which were lying on the bed.
Finding nothing there, he became impatient, and called
out to the other men, " Can't you find the money l"
They replied that they could not, and the man in
prosecutor's room renlied, " Then come here, and
we'll make him find The two men then returned
to prosecutor's room, swearing all manner of oaths, and
proceeding to pull the prosecutor nut of bed by the hair
of the head, the man with the knife at the same time
covering his eyes with one of his hands. Prosecutor
felt the cold blade of the knife resting on his forehead.
While prosecutor was in this position, the men espied a
box in his own room, and they asked him what it con-
tained, He said nothing but clothes, but they were not
satisfied, and forced the box open with a crow-bar.
The man who did this called for a light, and at that mo-
ment the burglar who covered prosecutor's eyes was
obliged by a fortuitous circumstance to remove his band,
and then the prosecutor observed distirictly that Jona-
than Fretwell was one of the party.. He had known
him for twenty years, and identified him by a particular
mark on his chin, and a deformity of one of his hands.
Finding no money in the box in prosecutor's room,
the burglar's required him to accompany them to
his mother's room. The whole party ranged them-
selves behind him, and one of them took him
by the ears, and pushed him before them, saying,
"Now go straight to the box where the money is,
and if you turn your head, we'll run the knife into
you." When he got into the room, one of the men
took up his position at the bedside of prosecutor's
mother, who was lying moaning in bed, and the others
watched him while he produced his money, out of a
secret drawer in the box. There was 251. in notes, 10
sovereigns, and a railway dividend warrant, but the
latter was enclosed in a letter, and the burglars, sup-
posing it was merely a letter, threw it aside and trampled
it under foot. They told prosecutor he must have some
more money, and when ho told them there was a little
in the shop, they ordered him down stairs. On the
way they handled him very roughly, upon which he re-
monstrated, and one of them replied, " Hold your
noise, you d—l, you've reigned long enough." Having
arrived at the shop they compelled prosecutor to open
all his drawers, from which they took 71. 10s. 6d.
They then ordered the prosecutor up stairs, and
one of them accompanied him and saw him safe in
bed. He said to the prosecutor, "Now we are going
down stairs, for we have come a long way, and must
have something to eat and drink. We shan't be gone for
an hour yet, so you had better lie still, for if you get up
or make a noise we shall kill you in a minute." In less
than tea minutes the prosecutor heard the men leave the
house, and he then got up and called the servant girl,
who he found had also been visited by the burglars.
They had threatened her life if she gave any alarm,
and had fastened her in her room by bolting the
door outside. The house was then examined, when
it was discovered the thieves had taken 141. belonging
to prosecutor's mother from a drawer in her room, and
a quantity of silver spoons, a pistol, and two decanters
were also missed. Between five and six o'clock the
prosecutor left the house to give information to the
police, and on their going to Fretwell's house they
fouud Jonathan Fretwell and his son 'Milian' up, and
John Fretwell was in bed but he bad his stockings on.
They were apprehended, but Wm. Fretwell was after-
wards liberated. The prosecutor swore positively to
Jonathan Fretwell, and the evidence against John was
that of the maid-servant, who deposed that one of the
men who entered her room strongly resembled him. It
was also shown that John and William were seen pro-
ceeding in the direction towards prosecutor's house about
the time the dog was poisoned, and that they were also
going that way at a later period of the evening.
Mr. Dearsley, for the defence, submitted that there
was comparatively no evidence against John Fretwell,
and as to Jonathan he argued at great length that the
prosecutor was mistaken in swearing to him, however
positive he might be.
His Lordship, in summing up, told the jury that there
was no sufficient evidence upon which they could safely
arrive at the conclusion that John Fretwell was guilty,
and they accordingly acquitted him. Jonathan Fret-
well (the father) was found guilty.
Sentence deferred.
