COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORPORATION OF GRAVESEND V. COLLINS.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE moved for a rule to show cause
why a special case framed on this action should not include
a statement that the quay, or pier, the subject of dispute,
was within the village of Gravesend ; or why that issue
should not be tried before that special case was argued.
The application was made under these circumstances. An
Act of Parliament had granted to the Corporation of
Gravesend power to make a quay or landing•place, and to
claim certain toll from all persons either coming on board
or landing from that pier. The language of the Act was
that toll should be levied on all vessels carrying passengers
from Gravesend to London, or from London to Gravesend,
to any places within the villages and parishes of Gravesend
and Milton, or either of them. The quay was made and
the tolls levied. Subsequently a joint-stock company was
formed for erecting another landing-place ,which was accord-
ingly made ; but the Corporation claimed toll'on this quay
because it was within the villages and parishes of
Gravesend and Milton, or either of them. The Company
objected on the ground that the landing place was extra-
parochial. It was contended, on the other side, that if withia
the village, it was immaterial whether it was or was not in
the parish. Masters of vessels refusing to pay the Corpo-
ration tolls were summoned, and appeals to the Quarter
Session took place. It was eventually referred to the
Court of Queen's Bench, who could not, however, decide
the point, because the point of being within the village was
not raised. It having been agreed to make it a special case
for the decision of the Court of Common Pleas ; the object
of the application was to have that point Paisect in the spe-
cial case, or have it tried by a Jury before the special case
came on.

Rule nisi granted.
MUSKETT V. HILL.
The arguments in this important mining case then pro-
ceeded.

HARRIS V. TIMMINGS.-JUDGMENT.

On the sitting of the Court, this morning, Mr. Baron
PALKE gave judgment in this case, which was fully argued
last Tuesday. He said the action was brought against the
defendant, as one of the DirPctors of the West Cork Min-
ing Company, and at the trial a verdict passed against
him. The plaintiff then came to the Court, and applied
for a rule to show cause why he should not be tat liberty
to issue execution against the personal ;goods of the
defendant, which having been granted and fully argued,
