BARON anti a Common Jury.)
NEWPORT, ABERGAVENNY, AND HEREFORD RAILWAY °.
BROWN. ;
This action was brought to recever 3232 7s. beteg
arrears due by the defendant to the company upon ver
tain calls, together with interest.
Mr. Martin appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. CO"k*
burn for the defendant.
The defendant was Mr. John Brown, of Sydenhervi
and he was the holder of 75 shares, upon which he had
neglected to pay two calla of V. each.
Mr. COCKBURN said, upon the facts of the case he
had no answer, but he had to raise a point which not
stood for the decision of the Court of Common Pleas itt
the case of the Cork and Bandon Railway v. Connolly.
and which had reference to the notice anterior to wok'.
ing the call, and not subsequent to the call. By the
22d section of the Act the shareholders were entitled tO
21 drys' formal notice of the intention of the directors tO
make the call, and as that had not been given in this
case he apprehended that the calls were informal.
The CHIEF BARON said he would reserve the point,
but did nut think that it would much avail the de'
fendant.

A verdict for the full amount was then returned for
the plaintiffs, with leave to move to enter a nonsuit upoll
he 22d section.

SAME COMANY U. .
A verdict forTHE
215/. 78. sd. P

flowerpot in the market, and thought it
was no harm
to take it away."

well that he had no right to take the plant away, or to
touch it at all. Ile sentenced him to be imprisoned,
three days, and to be once whipped,

•
CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Robert Robson was charged before Mr. Coombe with
stealing a great quantity of brass materials the property
of his employer, Mr. Johnson, the eminent barometer-
maker. It appeared that the prisoner, who has been
upwards of seventeen years in the employment of the
prosecutor as a mathematical instrument maker, was the
only person in the establishment entrusted with the..
cutting and working up of the brass for certain parts 01
the works in the wheel barometer, and for some month°
large quantities of the materials had been abstracted
from the workshop. It was found that °ll
Friday last the prisoner sold twenty-three
pounds weight of brass-work, as waste, at Mr•
Bachelor's brassfoundry in Albemarle-street. The
prisoner was taken into custody, and on the metal beivg.
now produced, Mr. Johnson stated that he had no douh'
whatever it was his property. It was precisely of the
kind entrusted to the prisoner last week, and corres-
ponded with the missing quantity. It was cut for, the
purposes of the wheel barometer machinery, and would
come into the hands of no other person in his establish-
ment but the prisoner. He had lately lost upwards 0'
thirty pounds' worth of this material.
A witness from Mr. Bachelor's proved that the
prisoner had sold the metal produced, and that be boa
recently sold at the same foundry other quantities on
different occasions.
The prisoner was remanded to give time for further
inquiries. He said he did not " mean to say bow he
got the brass."
