RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
SHREWSBURY AND HERTFORD.
The report of the directors, to be presented at the
general meeting of the shareholders at Chester, on
Tuesday next, just issued, states that the exertions
made for carrying out the line have been attended
with success, that a large number of shares have been
subscribed for, and that promises of support from the
principal landowners have been given. The position
of the share capital is as follows :—Capital authorized
to be raised, 800,0001., in 40,000 shares of 201. each.
On 34,799 a deposit of only 1/. has been paid; on
21,988 the first call of 11. per share and deposit have
been paid. The amount received on the second call
of 31. per share has been 6,2631. ; number of shares
forfeited, 4,943; shares not issued, 5,201 ; shares
unclaimed, 146. The length of the line will be 52
miles. It is proposed at present to construct only
a single line, which, at 10,0001. per mile, and in-
cluding the electric telegraph and amount already
expended, will come to 485,8041. It is also proposed
to reduce the share capital to 450,0001., which with
the usual borrowing powers will make a total of
600,0001. It is proposed to make the shares 45,000,
of 101. each, instead of 40,000 of 201. each, and so
diminish the liabilities of the registered shareholders
one-ball their present amount. The 20/. shares
being at a discount of 21. per share in the market,
it is proposed to issue 4 943 forfeited shares, and
5,347 shares unissued, and 5,000 new shares regis-
tered, to make up the total of 45,000, at a discount
of 1/. each, or 9/. to be paid present shareholders,
and those who have already made application for
shares to be entitled to a preference allotment. A
large number of shareholders have expressed their
willingness to proceed with the undertaking in its
present form. The
.Shrewsbury and Chester RAH-
way Company have taken power to advance 75,0001.,
and other parties have agreed to take 99,000/. of

ABERDEEN.—Great delay has taken place in the
opening of the line to Limpet Mill, within twelve
miles of Aberdeen, from the refusal of the contractors
to give up possession of the line, which was to have
been opened for traffic on Tuesday. On that day the
directors, with their officers, endeavoured to take poi-
session of the line by removing the contractors and
their waggons, but the latter, with a large body of
navvies, resisted, demanding to be paid for the work
done upon the contract. On the following day the
sheriff and police authorities proceeded to the line,
and had an interview with the directors and con-
tractors. The terms of the contract agreed on were
produced, and the payment to the contractors or
8,0001. demanded. This not being complied with, a
protest was taken against any further proceeding, and
the sheriff granted an interdict.
LANCASHIRE AND YoRxsRIRE.—The Railway
Commissioners have authorised the opening of the
Burnley branch of this railway, which is expected to
take place in the course of a few days. This branch
is nine miles in length, and connects the town of
Burnley with the old Manchester and Leeds Railway.
There are three tunnels and other heavy works on the
new line.

GREAT SOUTHERN ♦ND WESTERN.—The exten-
sion line of this railway to Cork was opened for
public traffic on Monday.
PRESTON AND LONGRIDGE.—At the half-yearly.
meeting of this company, held at Preston on Thurs-
day, Mr. C. Swainson in the chair, a dividend of 12s.
3d. per share (clear of income tax) was declared
payable in January next, and the retiring directors
were re-elected.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 3.
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, in Michaelmas Term, before
Mr. Baron PLATT and Common Juries.)
ELLIS V. RING.
Mr. W. H. Watson and Mr. Hawkins appeared
for the plaintiff; and Mr. Ball was for the defendant.
The action was upon a bill of exchange for 301.,
drawn at three months after date by one Henry King
upon his brother, the present defendant, which had
been eventually indorsed to the plaintiff.
There were a vast number of pleas put upon the re-
cord, and amongst others of fraud and covin.
It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff is
a tradesman in the Minories, and also that the de-
fendant is a clerk in the Post-office, and that on the
26th of March last Henry King had drawn the bill
in question upon his brother, the defendant. Upon
that very day the bill it seemed from the testimony of
,pne George Lewis, who described himself as an auc-
tioneer, and the keeper of a " loan office," at 41,
Gray's Inn-lane, as well as in the City-road, at which
office advances were made by way of "loan" of
from 51. to 501, came into his hands. When the bill
had been placed in his hands, in the first instance, by
one Satchel!, for the purpose of discount, he had re-
tained the instrument, stating that be must make some
inquiries about the parties to it. The bill having been
indorsed by Thomas Bailey and Co. to Satchel', this
witness advanced from 131. to 151. upon it by two dif-
ferent payments, and prior to making any further ad-
vance upon that sum he had required that Satchell
6hould indorse the bill to him. He then made a
further payment of money on account of this bill for
301., in all amounting to 191. 14s. 6d. That was the
whole of the advance he had made, and subsequently
re sold the bill to a person named E. Levy for 271
i'o that person he had in due course indorsed it, and
by Levy it had afterwards been indorsed to the present
plaintiff.

Mr. BALL, on behalf of the defendant, contended,
that originally there had been no indorsement by
Messrs. Bailey and Co. to Satchel], and in support of
that line of defence called

Mr. Bailey, who having described himself as a com-
mission agent, carrying on his business in Philpot-
lane, stated that he had not indorsed the bill to
Satchell, but that he had simply put his name on the
back of, the bill to oblige, and as an accommodation to
his friend, Henry King, the drawer.
Satchell then proved that he had himsf-lf indorsed
the bill, because he had been required to do so by
George Lewis.

Mr. W. H. WATSON having replied,
Mr. Baron PLATT intimated to the jury that the
indorsement by Bailey was clearly a general in-
dorsement, and that in his opinion the plea, that
that indorsement was special, was no defence to
the action. The plaintiff was consequently entitled
to a verdict. He would nevertheless reserve leave
to the Learned Counsel for the defendant to move to
enter a nonsuit. From the evidence it was apparent
that all that George Lewis bad advanced upon the bill
of 301. had been 191. 14s. 6d., and then that same
man Lewis had gone on to swear that he had sold tLe
bill to E. Levy for 271. Of course the jury could
form an opinion of such a transaction. However, in
a strict legal point of view the plaintiff was entitled.
to a verdict for the full amount of the bill.
The jury returned a verdict accordingly, but added
that they-were extremely sorry that the law com-
pelled them to give such a verdict.
One of the jurymen followed up this expression of
opinion of the jury as a body, by applying some very
strong language of a condemnatory character in re-
ference to the conduct of the witness George Lewis.
Upon the rising of the Learned Judge Lewis made
an application to the officers of the court with the
view of obtaining the name of the juryman who had
offered the opinion just referred to.
The application, however, proved unsuccessful, and
Lewis thereupon followed the juryman out of the
court vociferously demanding his name, for the pur-
pose of enabling him to adopt ulterior proceedings.
Whether he succeeded in his object we were unable
to learn.
