Mr. BROOMFIELD, the solicitor to the plaiewl: s
that the plaintiff was an attorney at AshbOUrne; dap
difficulty arose in consequence of the clerk to the Lee
agent having died.
e de;The Learned SECONDARY said that although the
fendant had suffered judgment to go by default, yettoe
would be necessary to prove the payment of the 65
charged, as they were not taxable items. re'
Mr. BROOMFIELD observed that there was strong Po
sumptive evidence of the payment, as 61. Bs. 9d. Was the
taxed costs in an action in which the defendant was t.A
plaintiff, but had stayed proceedings, and unless be lola
authorised the payment of the costs an execution Would
have issued against him. He would prove the signet,t,

The Foreman said that it was singular that noreceir

The SECONDARY said it appeared to be a harsh Pr et
ciple of law to reject evidence in a case where deieeusthe
did not attempt to deny the debt. As to 2Z Is. et, be
claim for money paid, there was no evidence, enders
would leave it to the jury to say whether they wale
satisfied as to the 61. Bs. 9d., but he was inclined to ;be
opinion that plaintiff could only recover 181. 17s. 2411;$
amount of the taxable items; he would, however, Iw--
remark on his notes, of which plaintiff might have a coPifi
and perhaps the taxing-master on-evidence being edd..,llet
before him, would increase the verdict in the samegy

evidence had not been given at the trial. tar
Mr. BROOMFIELD said that he did not think the y

his daughter, an intelligent young girl, was attene."lia
Rogers gave her a note, addressed to Mr. Totabsillos

PARIS AND LYONS RAILROAD',
The first section of this railroad, from Paris '4
Tonnerre, was opened by the President of the Repair
lie on Sunday last. This line, both from the nature
and extent of its works, and the interesting localities
through which it passes, merits a few lines of detail,
especially as to the traveller and the tourist it offer:
facilities not hitherto possessed. The Paris and Lyone
Railroad, through Burgandy, may be divided into fil",
great sections ; the first, from Paris to Tonnerrel;
197 kilometres in length ; the second, from Twirler,
to Dijon, is 118 kilometres in length; the third, f,r°7",
Dijon to Chalon, 69 ; the fourth from, Chalon to 1-,.°o`,
longes, at the approache s of Lyons, 120; and the fiftll9loo
eluding the approaches and the passage through
11 : total length of the line, 515 kilometres. to
first and third sections of the railway, from Forl es
Tonnerre, and from Dijon to Chalon, 266 icil°lner ihe
in length, were opened for traffic, the first on TO
of August and the third on the Ist inst.
stations, &c., are still unfinished. The section 119 of
Paris to Tonnerre is remarkable for the beauty
the surrounding scenery, and the magnificence of :be
oaks. The line traverses the departments of :be
Seine, the Seine-et-Oise, the Stine-et Marne, ;he
Yonne, the Cote d'Or, the Saone-et•Loire, And
x.
Rhone. The principal cities and towns in the Prieto,
mity of which it passes includes Melun, Fontainb'etio,
Montereau, Sens, Joigny, Auxerre, St. Flor_..„e 0.,
Tonnerre, Montbard, Dijon, Beaune, Chalon, Vu':„sil
Macon, and Villefranche. Independently of 50 51;1,
freestone bridges there are nine bridges over riv,
ro and enormous viaducts across the valleys, which of
part to the landscape the style and the grandeur
the districts of Rome. Leaving the park of Berceis'
at the foot of Charenton, there are two bsidgve;

noble cathedral, with its tall spires, is a conspicule
object. To the arches of this edifice is suspended

sinated on the old bridge. Within a quarter 012,

the Seine and the Yonne. It was there that iisPo,
leon fought in 1814 the famous battle of
tereau, in which, after a combat of I—of
hours, he completely routed the allied armies io
Austria and Russia. At Montereau commences t s
Troyes Railroad, 99,603 metres in length ; it leave
the Lyons line on the right, and follows the pictli;
resque valley of the Seine. The bridges at Eon'
sur-Yonne and at Crecy are objects of admiration;
at Floguy, some kilometres distant from Tonnerre,
the remains of a Roman camp are to be seen. The
Gothic tower of St. Pierre de Tonnerre is soon seen.
in the distance, and the first section of the line is at
an end. The continuance of the railway to Dijon
will greatly expedite the route to Geneva; and the
line from Paris to Fontainbleau will enable visitor.
at Paris to explore the beauties of the forest conti"
guous to that town without, as hitherto, losing tvin
days in going and returning.

DiscovEßT OF AN ANCIENT CANOE...—A short
time ago, some workmen engaged in making a drain !9°
the farm of Knaven on the estate of Nethermuir,
covered a boat, evidently of great antiquity, quite ent'r
and still in high preservation. It was found at a depth
of five feet from the surface, in a deposit of moss, at "I,
,
head of a small ravine. It is formed out of a solid ?v
tree, and is 11 feet long, and nearly four broad hay'fig
at the stern a projecting part, with an eye in it for &b
e
purpose of mooring. It is of a very rudo manufacturch
and the mark of the hatchet, or instrument by "'bi
it was constructed, is still visible. The farm of Kilo
is several miles from the river Ythan, and many
„ot
the sea, and it is difficult to conjeetut e what use the v,
had been intended tor, unless indeed there had be",ine
accumulation of water below, and of which the ":1 for
was the head, and it might have been empleYe,buad
crossing the swamp. Near this ancient boat was
the stumps and roots of several very large eaks;_.,ilder
writer of this was informed by an eminent shiPuliot•
on the Clyde that there is hardly now growing in of
of
land an oak tree of sufficient size to produce a
.b_yridos
these dimensions. With the exception of the ter
young plantations round the house of Neti3e_%, la
nothing but oat-plant or the turnip is now to be
this quarter. The curious relic has been PN:lacejaer"aluir'
water (tor the purpose of preserving it) at —et time!
where the antiquarian may visit it and reflect oil
long gone by,—,Sherdeen Journal.
