THE SUN,

NORTH RENT LINE.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. A. J. LEWIS again
mentioned this motion for an injunction, the plaintiff
being the contractor for completing about ten miles of the
line of railway, and desiring protection against the re-
moval of his plant, engines, &c., by the company, who,
having endeavoured by an offer of 5,000/. for expedition,
to induce the plaintiff to complete the work early this
month, or, at all events, in time for opening for the
visitors to the siege operations at Chatham, and who had
not succeeded in so doing, were desirous of completing
it themselves, alleging that it could be finished in four
days. The plaintiff was not bound by his contract to
complete it before November next.
On the opening of the case Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Malins,
and Mr. J. Bailey appeared for the company, and offered
certain terms to the plaintiff, for the purpose of obtain-
ing immediate possession of the railway.
The counsel for both parties having entered into a
conference, which occupied some time, at length con-
sented that an order by consent should be made to the

of all sums certified by the engineer to be due to the
plaintiff in respect of work done ; and that the engineer
shall certify what was due to the plaintiff in respect of
works done and to be done by him, within one week
after the same are completed, and that the company will

are certified. But if the plaintiff fail in doing this by
the above time he is to deliver the line up on Saturday
at noon, in whatever state it is, subject to the adjudica-
tion of his rights under the contract by the court.
It was stated that in consequence of the differences
between the contractor and the company a large body
of 140 constables bad been ordered to be ready for

CE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
William Speck, who was remanded on Saturday by
Sir John Pirie, on suspicion of having been concerned
inn forging a bill for 981. 125., made payable at Barclay
and Co's. banking-house, was brought before Alderman
Moon for the purpose of being discharged, no prosecutor
having appeared to substantiate the charge.
Mr. Wontner appeared for the prisoner, and said that
his client was a distant indorser of the bill, which was
f ound to have, by some means or other, a fictitious name
upon it ; that having learned that fact, the prisoner,
who never had any idea of committing fraud, hastened
to take up the bill before the dangerous discovery could
be made, and thus, in the honest endeavour to prevent
the exposure of the offence, became a temporary •ictim.
Alderman Moox—Does any one appear against the
prisoner? No answer having been returned, the Alder-
man said, the prisoner is discharged.
