On the motion of Viscount DUNCANNON, the House
went into Committee on the Grand Juries (Ireland) Bill.
After a short conversation, in which the Marquis of
Westmeath, Lord Carbery, Viscount Duncannon, and
Lord Fitzgerald took part, some amendments were made ;
and the House having resumed, the report was ordered to

Viscount MELBOURNE presented a petition from the
Andersonian medical students of Glasgow, complaining of
certain restrictions in the Glasgow University, and praying
redress.

The report on the Exchequer Suits in Equity Bill was

HOUSE OF 'COMMONS, AUGUST 3.
The SPEAKER took the chair at three o'clock.
THE TROUTBECK CASE.

Mr. W ARBURTON moved that the House at its
rising do adjourn' to twelve o'clock to-morrow, to resume
the adjourned debate on the Troutbeck Case, on the ques-
tion for the appointment of a Select Committee thereon.
Agreed to.
Mr. E. J. STANLEY brought up the report on the
Sunk Island Road Bill.
RESOLUTIONS ON RAILROADS.

Mr. P. THOMSON rose, as Chairman of the Com-

mittec appointed by the House, to propose the adoption by
the House of the resolutions to which the Committee had
come. Perhaps it would be more convenient, as they
would have to go through the resolutions seriatim, if any
objections were made to them, to offer, with the assistance
of the other Members of the Committee, any explanations
that should be necessary, and not to take up the time of the
House in pointing out the alterations that had been made.
He would merely state that the Committee over which

he had had the honour to preside, had giVen. their
best attention to the consideration of the subject ; first, with
regard to any amendments that it was desirable to introduce
into the Standing Orders on Railroads, which were spe-
cially referred to them, and afterwards in consequence of
suggestions made to them, into the Standing Orders gene-
rally. The first amendments that would be put referred
to the Standing Orders generally. In the course of their
investigation into the subject, the reference of a petition
for a Bill to a Committee naturally came before
them, and it did appear that the present practice was
one which the Committee could not recommend. It

appeared that in the examination of a petition upon a Bill,
there was in reality very little serious investigation, the par-
ties being heard simply on one side ; and, in fact, the matter
in cases of doubt being sent to be decided by the Standing
Orders' Committee. They, therefore, suggested the propriety
of altering that tribunal. They proposed that the petition on
each Bill should be referred to a Committee of another
description. They proposed for this purpose to constitute,
at the beginning of the Session, a Committee, consisting of
42 members, to be divided into six Sub-Committees, hav-
ing power to act each as a separate Committee, under such
regulations as should be approved of by the Committee
annually when first instituted. The facts of the case would
be investigated by that Committee, or by each of the Sub
Committees, and he entertained little doubt that by this plan
the business would be speedily got through, while, at the
same time, infinitely more care and attention would

be paid to it.—( Hear, hear, hear.) He then pro-
posed that the Committee should take cognizance of the
facts, and that upon the facts as reported to the House,
the Standing Order Committee, which they proposed to di-
minish in number to fifteen; and which would of course
consist of members that would not serve on the other Com-
mittees, give their decision, which would be an equitable
decision as to the Bill going on or not. There would be a
tribunal before which the facts would be proved—there
would be a tribunal which would decide on these facts, and
administer an equitable jurisdiction with reference to the facts
thus proved. These were the principal alterations—there
were other alterations, which would be read from the Chair,
on which he did not think it necessary to make any remark,
as they would be explained- hereafter. He then came to the
Resolutions relating to the Standing Orders on the Rail-
ways themselves. A great number o the alterations they
proposed were rendered necessary, in consequence of no
Standing Orders being applicable to Railways before ; but
' having been placed generally under Standing Orders for
canals and navigation. There was another change
that deserved to be noticed—namely, the recommendation
of the Committee with regard to a change in the time for
giving notices. They proposed that the time for the de-
posit of maps, charts, and plans, should be changed to the
Ist of March. This would have the effect of throwing
them over six months, or even one Session of Parliament ;
but he did not piopose to apply that rule to any Bill that
might be presented next Session of Parliament. The Com-
mittee had drawn up two sets of resolutions, one referring
to the next Session, and the other to Bills to be introduced
after the next Session. Into the first of these series
they had introduced all the amendments they had con-
sidered necessary, with the exception of the change of time
to which he had alluded. He should hope that no objec-
tion would be made by the House to that arrangement.
The Committee had paid great attention to the subject,
and after the most mature consideration they had come to
the resolution, that the proposed change was most neces-
sary and advisable. Greater opportunity would thereby be
' afforded to parties along the lines to make themselves ac-
quainted with the proposed lines, and the way in which it
would affect them. In subsequent resolutions the Com-
mittee had modified the plan, the effect of which would
be, that parties would have more time to get up their
plans, and not get them up in so hasty a manner as here-
tofore, and they would be enabled to study more accurately
the best lines. Besides that, an opportunity would be afforded
during five or six months to make alterations even
in the plan that had been deposited, and there was no doubt
that the parties would profit by that opportunity. But a
still more important advantage would be gained, as the
parties applying for Bills would be obliged to put in their
plans by the Ist of March, and these plans would be open to
the inspection of Committes sitting on any other Bills. Great
difficulty had arisen from the resolution regarding compet-
ing lines, and parties were found who suggested hastily got
up plans, or projects without plans, which they submitted as
competing lines, and thus considerable delay took place,
and the bona fide projectors subjected to unnecessary expense.
These were the principle reasons which had induced them
to recommend these alterations. There was one other
alteration which he would mention—they now proposed
that parochial plans and sections should be lodged in
the bands of parish clerks in England, and parish
schoolmasters in Scotland. That would be an arrange-
ment which would be easily complied with by
parties, and it would be a very great advan-
tage to small proprietors who were unable to travel,
without serious inconvenience, to the Clerks of the Peace
office. He did not intend to enter into the details
of the Resolutions, but he thought It necessary to say so
much of the changes contemplated by them. The Com-
mittee had not, of course, any official communication
with the other House ; but they had unofficially met a
Committee of the other House, and it was satisfactory
that the resolutions had met with their concurrence, so that,
if adopted, the practice of both Houses would be assimi-
lated, which would be a great advantage. He concluded
by moving that the amendments be adopted.
The SPEAKER then put the question, that the House
should adopt the resolutions, when
Mr. WILKS rose. He feared that the alteration pro-
posed by his Majesty's Ministers would not be of any great
practical use. The House might think they were doing a
great deal when in fact it was doing little or nothing.
Nothing was more unsatisfactory than the manner in which
the private business of the House was conducted. The
appointment of a new Select Committee of 42 Members
would be a serious injury, instead of a great good ; it would
lead to the increase of litigation, and a new system of ex-
pending the money of persons who made applications for
Bills. Such things, in his opinion, ought to be deprecated.
They wanted something similar to that which existed in the
House ,of Lords to which every Bill might be referred—
namely, a competent legal authority and legal officers. He
did not think that the present plan would meet the sub-
stantial evils of which the country complained, and of
which the House and every individual member of it had a
right to complain.
Sir J. GRAHAM said that the Hon. Member
who had just sat down had introduced various topics which
were not at all connected with the question before the House.
He was decidedly of opinion it was worth while to try the
experiment proposed. The only doubt he entertained was
whether forty Members would undertake the business ;
but he believed there would be no difficulty about that. The
resolutions had been framed for the protection of public as
well as private interests, and under these circumstances he
hoped the House would agree to them.
Mr. PARKER alluded to the great additional expense
which was entailed upon the parties having Bills before
Committees by the length of time which Counsel was al-, I
lowed to occupy. He hoped the Right Hon. Baronet I
would turn his attention to that part of the subject,

A

Mr. AGLIONBY thought, after the very clear 61-1
business-like observations of the Hon. Baronet opposite, .n°
one could doubt the eligibility of the plan.—(Hear, hear..
The Hon. Member for Boston mistook the matter very
much, if he supposed that the difficulties which Bills had.
to encounter before the Standing Orders Committee
were not of a very serious nature. He (Mr. Aglionby) in
the course of his experience on Committees, had found that
the greatest difficulties always arose from the Standing
Orders. As to the impracticability of procuring 42 Mem;
hers able and willing to perform the duties required °I
them, he (Mr. Aglionby) had gone through the list the
other day, and had made out to his surprise, from 10:411
sides of the House, a list of not less than 86 Members On"
exceptionable in every respect, and he did not think thel'e
would be much difficulty in reducing that number to 42.
Captain PECHELL cordially approved of the resole-•
tions which had been brought forward by the Committee.
Great dissatisfactien had been created throughout the
country by the system hitherto pursued in Railway Com-
mittees. He (Captain P.) could bear witness to that point
from his experience on the Brighton Railway Committee..
—(Hear.) The Hon. Member for Boston had suggestedi
that there ought to be a tribunal of the House of Lords ; but
he (Captain P.) thought these Bills should be altogether
thrown over the House of Lords.—(A laugh.) He com-
plained of the conduct pursued by their Lordships towards
the Brighton Railway—(Hear, hear)—which was one of
the consequences of Noble Lords being allowed to cony
down and vote, without having heard a word of the evidence
He hoped the resolutions would be adopted, for the matte
could not be made worse—if they had been in force nove
they would have been spared the late exhibition at the bar
by Mr. Cundy.
Mr. BROTHERTON supported the resolutions.
Mr. WILKS explained—He had merely suggested that
there should be an officer of that House analagous to the
Chairman of Committees in the other Honer, • who would
see that all private Bills were agreeable to certain
known rules.
Mr. POTTER said there were to be six CommiOees---
in what way were the Bills to be referred to them ?
Mr. P. THOIIIPSON said that question would be
settled by the general Committee.
After some observations from Mr. GUEST and Lord G•
SOMERSET, the resolution, as amended, was agreed to.
On the resolution being put which gave power to the
Committee to divide themselves into Sub-Committees,

Mr. GUEST proposed, as an amendment, that three
should be a quorum.
After some conversation the motion was withdrawn, and
the number fixed by the resolution, namely 5, was agreed to.
On the resolution giving the right of appeal to the
Standing Orders Committee being proposed,
Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in answer to a question
of Mr. Aglionby, said that it had never been the prac-
tice of the Standing Orders Committee to retry the
facts. It was not intended that the Standing Orders
Committee should retry the facts found by the Committee
on the Bill. On a statement of the facts, and the special
circumstances being made known to them, the Standing
Orders Committee would exercise an equitable jurisdiction,
and advise the House under the circumstances, that the
Standing Orders be dispensed with. The duties of the
Standing Orders Committee were strictly limited.
Mr. AGLIONBY thought that the Committee ought
to report as well when the Standing Orders were com-
plied with as when they were not complied with.
In either case the parties had an equal ground of complaint,
—either the opponents of the Bill, or the promoters of it.
What he would propose was, that when the Committee re-
ported to the House that either the Standing Orders had or
had not been complied with, they should report the
facts to the House on which their decision had been come
to, and any special circumstances.
After a few words from Sir JAMES GRAHAM, the
resolution was agreed to with this amendment.
Mr. P. THOMSON had an amendment to suggnst to the
next resolution, relative to the time which should intervene
between the serving of the notices and the taking the Bill
into consideration.

After a few observations from Mr. PEASE, Mr. Wlmop
and Sir J. GRAHAM, the amendment was withdrawn.
Mr. AGLIONBY then moved a certain verbal ameiad-
ment to the next resolution, which after some observations
from Sir George Clerk, Mr. Wilks, Mr. Brotherton, and
Lord Sandon, as we understood, the amendments were
negatived.

BOROUGH OF STAFFORD.
Mr. DIVETT moved the suspension of a writ for the
borough of Stafford till ten days after the next session of
Parliament.

Sir T. FREMANTLE opposed the motion as prema-
ture to the extent carried by the Hon. Member, inasmuch
as another Bill for the disfranchisement of the borough of
Stafford was before the other House, and indeed a Bill
which might meet the approbation of this House might be
sent down from the other House of Parliament.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thoug.hfr
it right to ascertain, in the first instance, whether any legls'
lotion of a reforming character was likely to. proceed froe3;
the other House in relation to the borough of Stafford ; IL
not, he should be ready to support his Hon. Friend's'
motion.

' Mr. DIVETT did not expect any satisfaotory legislation;
• from that House on the subject, but would, under the cir
cumstances, content himself with moving that .no writ be
issued till after Thursday week.—Agreed to.
HAND-LOOM WEAVERS BILL.
Mr. MAXWELL said, after the communications be
• had received from the Noble Secretary of State for the
' Home Department, lie felt himself bound to postpone thie
Bill till the next session.
JEWISH CIVIL DISABILITIES BILL.
On the Order of the Day for the second reading of the
Jewish Disabilities Bill being read,
' Sir It. INGLIS opposed the second reading of the Bill,
and contended that the effect of it would be to unchriso
tianise this country. The Jews considered themselves ao
the people of a distinct nation, having separate interests,
and, therefore, he for one would be most unwilling to admit
them as members of a Christian legislature. He was or
posed not only to the principle involved in the Bill, but the
mode in which it had been brought forward ; and thinking that
a measure of such importance could not be properly consi'"
dered in so thin a House, he felt it to be his duty to pro-
pose that the Bill should he read a second time that dal
six months.
Colonel SIBTHORP expressed his surprise that any
members of a Christian Government could be found to in-
troduce such a measure. The Jews, it should be reek
lected, disbelieved altogether in Christianity, and therefore
thinking them unfit to receive the concession intended to be
made to them, he thought that the best duty he could per'
form -to his constituents would be to move that the noise
be counted.
Strangers were accordingly ordered to withdraw, but it
was foun that forty Members, including the Speaker, were
present.
On our return to the gallery we found
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ad;
dressing the House in favour of the motion for the second
reading of the Bill. They should recollect that a Bill 00
the same subject had already passed that House, and that
petitions in favour of the removal of the disabilities under,
which the Jews laboured had been presented from Ono:"
all the large towns in the United Kingdom. Would it P°
said that those who passed the former measure were person°
who were dead to the interests of Christianity, or that arrY
one set of men more than another were not accountable for
their actions to the Supreme Being, who watched alii‘u
over all ? He knew that the Jews were essentially'
moral people, and he was, therefore, convinced that the)
would be as much bound by moral restraints as any otherf
class in the community. It was the barbarous policy
former times that had left them the persecuted race they
were ; and as he wished them to possess the same privilegel
as the other subjects of his Majesty, he was desirous
making London their Jerusalem, and of seeing there be
0
longer a separate nation. This was the reason wbY
wished this Bill to pass.
Mr. FOSTER supported the amendment. The Je'v!!.
of whom he would not speak with disrespect, had all thegt
hopes and aspirations fixed upon the promised land ;
whether those hopes and aspirations would ever be realise"
the fulness of time alone could show. In his opinion, l'vjoi
ever, any attempt to incorporate them with the people
any other nation would prove abortive, and the Right finu
•
Gentleman might be satisfied that they never would regal;
;
London as their Jerusalem. He did not believe the Jew_
themselves were desirous for this measure, and therefore 11'
hoped the House would reject it.
Mr. W. ROCHE earnestly supported the Bill, and felt
"
that praise was due to the Government for having broug,.,
the measure forward. Having himself for a long time
s li-
fered exclusion from political privileges on account of re_f
gious opinions, he was more sensibly alive to the justice ua
any measure to relieve the civil disabilities of the Jove' arieja
which the public feeling of the country would not to
u
longer suffer to continue. •
Mr. A. TREVOR could not but complain that ill
Right Hon. Gentleman had thought fit to bring forward a
measure of this importance in so thin a House. 4-16Tt
member of the Church of Christ he could not give a sl cal
vote on this question. He considered the Jews perfectly
unsuited for the exercise of legislative functions, in "hie
capacity they would have to legislate on matters of .tb_c
deepest interest to the Protestant Church. As a Christian
as well as a Member of Parliament, he felt it his duty t;
protes against the easure.
Mr.t BENETTm thought that, as the Jews lied bean
found to discharge their social duties in every (resPeftetly

deserving as others of political privileges, and as, eaPau tie
making proper use of them. He felt happy in istiPrritoa

VIOLENT ASSAULT ON THE PRO

PRIETOR OF FRASER'S MAGAZINE.

Just as the business at Marlborough-street Police-office
was about to conclude yesterday, Mr. James Fraser, book-
seller, 215, Regent-street, whose appearance indicated that
very great personal violence had recently been used towards
him, presented himself before Mr. Dyer and Mr. Cham-
bers, to charge the Hon. Grantley Fitzhardinge Berkeley
with an assault.

The defendant, a tall, powerful man, and far beyond the
complainant in size and strength, was armed with a heavy
whip, which, when he was placed at the bar, Mr. Chambers
insisted on h!s relinquishing.
Mr. Fraser : I have to complain of one of the most brutal
assaults Which has ever been committed on a tradesman.
I was alone in my shop, a short time ago, my assistants having
gone to dinner, when two persons came in, and one of them,
the defendant at the bar, asked me if my name was Fraser.
I replied it was, and he said I wish to know the author of
the article in your magazine called " Mr. Grantley Berkeley
and his Novel." I asked, who have I the honour of speak-
ing to ?—and he r,plied, I am Grantley Berkeley, and I
wish to know who is the author of that review. I said
I must consider before I can give up the author's name,
and I was about to add that I could not give up the name,
although I had full permission so to do from the writer,
when I was instantly knocked down by the defendant. The
blow was so violent that I fell like a brute behind a small
desk. The defendant then dealt upwards of 20 blows on
my bad!, while I was lying on the ground. I was nearly
insensible, but I had sufficient recollection left to be aware
that he had got hold of a whip, and was lashing me with it
—cutting me over the face and hands with all his strength.
—[Here Mr. Fraser pointed to the wounds on his face,
evidently produced by the whip.] I called out for assist-
ance as loudly as I could. Three or four persons came to
the door, but the other gentleman who is now in the office
deterred them from coming in, and did all he could to pre-
vent any one from rendering me assistance.

Mr. Chambers asked the individual pointed out by Mr.
Fraser what his name was ? The individual replied, it was
Craven Fitzhardingo Berkeley, and he was quite ready to
admit that he did keep the people out. There was a slight
error in Mr. Fraser's statement. He positively refused to
give the author's name. When he saw his brother, Mr.
Grantley Berkeley, about to strike him, he then said he
would take time to consider.

WARBURTON thought the oath would not be

teCr• A. TREVOR was of opinion that the system of
itulg oaths should be checked.
nii;r' C. FERGUSSON supported the clause. It was a
rit
atmaterial part of the Bill.
"lonel SIBTHORP believed the clause would be in-
voPteereinve in practice. It would likewise place the poor

di,Aiifetder a few words from Mr. FORBES the Committee
For the clause 34
Against it

Mr. Grantley Berkeley—lf it will save the time of the
Magistrate, lam ready to say I don't deny the charge. I
came out on purpose to horsewhip the writer of the article,
according to his own suggestion. In the magazine there is
au article gossly reflecting on me and my family, and in it
the writer recommends an acquaintance of mine to horse-
whip me ;\so I availed myself of the suggestion.
!Slr. Chambers—This is much too serious a case to deal
with in a summary way. If we convicted the defendant in
the penalty
.of 3/., it would vitiate - any future proceeding.
The best wav will'bo to call on both parties, Mr. Grantley
Berkeley and Mr. Craven Berkeley, to find bail.
Mr. Fraser—ln addition to what I have stated, I have
to say thlit Mr. Grantley Berkeley threatened to horsewhip
me whereVer he met me. •
Mr. Chambers—Perhaps Mr. Grantley Berkeley will
recal his threat, otherwise I must call -upon him for very
heavy bail.
Mr. Grantley BcrkeleyNo, I can't recall my words ;
my feelings arc too painfully excited by the insult I have ex-
perienced.
Mr. Chambers—l can tell you, sir, that the laws will
not allow a tradesman to be so intimidated. It would, in-
deed, be an abominable state of things if a person could not
carry on his business, or go out publicly, because be is ex-
posed to threats of violence. lam in doubt whether I will
take bail at all under such circumstances.

Mr. Grantley Berkeley—The words were spoken in a
moment of anger, and I am willing to recal them.
Mr. Fraser—This individual, Mr. Craven Berkeley, told
me he would deal with me in the same manner.

Mr. Craven Berkeley—Not till you called me a coward.
,Mr. Fraser—l said your conduct was cowardly in pre-
venting any person from coming to my assistance.
Mr. Dyer (to Mr. Craven Berkeley)—Perhaps when
you recollect that we sit, here as Magistrates, to preserve
the peace, you will see the expediency of also recalling your
threat, otherwise your bail must be increased.

Mr. Craven Berkeley—Well, I have no objection to
recal it.

Mr. Chambers—Why, your brother might have killed
the complainant.
Mr. Craven Berkeley—Oh ! I would not let him kill
Mr. Fraser, who only got what he deserved. We came
out on purpose to lick him. Had he been a better man
than my brother then my brother would have suffered.
Mr. Graittley Berkeley—We served him just as he de-
served.

Mr. ChamberS—You must both put in bail, that Mr.
Fraser may have an opportunity of appealing to the laws of
the country against this outrage.
The parties then left the office.
The article referred to by Mr. Grantley Berkeley appears
in Fraser's Magazine for this month, and is headed " Mr.
Grantley Berkeley and his Novel." The passages which
appear to have excited the ire of the defendants to the
greatest extent are as follows. Speaking of " Berkeley
Castle," the Reviewer sqs :—" But in the present case how
absolutely disgusting is the conduct of Mr. Grantley Berke-
ley. He should have been among the last people in the
world to call public.attention to the history of his house.
Why, may we ask him, is his eldest brother pitchforked
into the House of Lords by the title of Lord Segrave ?
Why does he not sit there as Earl of Berkeley. We are
far from being desirOus to insult, as the paltry author of
this book does, the character of woman ; but when matters
are recorded in solemn judgment, there can be no indeli-
cacy in stating that Mr. Grantley Berkeley's mother lived
with his father as his mistress, and that she had at least one
child before she could induce the old and very stupid Lord
to marry her."

" The horridly vulgar and ungrammatical writing of the
dedication (to the Countess of Euston) is of no conse-
quence—it is just as good as the rest of the work. But
does the man in writing to the Countess of Euston that she
is one whom he hash ever regarded with affection' mean
to insinuate that he was ever placed in a position to be able
to use, without the most absurd impertinence, the follow-
ing quotations from his work That his undisguised
friendship trembled on the brink of love'—and that' taking
advantage of certain situations is not in human nature to
forego.: It is a downright affront. They call Lord Euston
the thin piece of Parliament ! Could he not borrow a
horse-whip eWe assure him he might exercise it with
perfect security."_

MISS LANDON'S NEW WORK, " TRAITS AND
TRIALS OF EARLY LIFE."—" Peruse Miss Landon's vivid
delineations of the fiercer passions, and the wrongs and ills of
life, and the uptorn and rcnded forest is but a feeble impres-
sion : take up this little volume, and all the gentleness and
pity of childhood are revived and stirred in the breast. The
contents are all touching, picturesque, delightful, and instruc-
tive. Of the whole, we prefer the last story, The History
of a Child,' a narration which we can hardly be mistaken in
fancying a real transcript of the early years of this gifted
and distinguished writer. Every matter connected with one so
endowed with genius, must be viewed as physiologically curi-
ous ; and we revert with particular regard to the recollections
of the childhood of L. E. L. Literary Gazette, July 30.

CHANCERY COURT-TUESDAY.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE CORPORATION OF
• LIVERPOOL.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, at the rising of the Court,
prayed his Lordship to permit an appeal on a demurrer to
the bill in this Court to be heard before the long vacation,
if not in the course of the present week. The question
was, whether the late Corporation of Liverpool had a right
to raise 104,000/. to increase the stipends of the clergy.
On the argument before the Master of the Rolls, his Lord-
ship decided in substance that the Corporation had the
power, and the parties had presented a petition of appeal.
The reason for wishing it to be heard on an early (lay was,
that the Church Commissioners had advertised the Ec-
clesiastical property in Liverpool for immediate sale, and
it became, therefore, a mater of extreme importance to
ascertain the final result of the suit respecting this 101,000/.
before the arrangements connected with that sale were
concluded.
The Loan CHANCELLOR was willing to hear the appeal
before the Court rose for the long vacation ; but as the ar-
gument would probably be a tedious one, he could not al-
low it to interfere with the regular business of the Court.
Every day of the remainder of the sitting would be fully
occupied ; but he would take it afterwards, if the parties
wished, and Counsel were content.

VICE-CHANCERY-WEDNESDAY.

SPENCER V. THE BIRMINGHAM RAILROAD COMPANY.
Mr. WIGRAM opened a demurrer in this case. The bill
prayed that,the Company should he restrained from cutting
through the end of Granby-street, leading into Hampstead!
road, and thus obstructing the direct access from Hemp-
stead-road to Granby-mews, which opened into Granby-
street. The plaintiff (Spencer) was yearly tenant of a
coachhouse and stable in Granby-mews to a person named
Ward, who was the lessee for a term of years. The bill
stated that the only direct communication between the
mews and Hampstead-road was through Granby-street ;
and that in June last the Company cut completely through
the street, without providing any other convenient passage
from the mews, as they were hound to do under the Act
by which they were incorporated. The demurrer was sup-
ported on the ground that this was, in fact, a complaint of
a public nuisance.
Mr. KNIGHT. supported the bill. The Learned Coun-
sel put his case not on the general damage and nuisance to
all the King's subjects by the stoppage of this way, but
upon the special injury to his clients, who were debarred of
a safe approach to their property. The Company, it ap-
peared, had opened the excavation without making any pre-
parations for the convenience of the neighbourhood, and
without even giving notice of their intention to excavate in
the highway. The consequence was the carriages and
horses of the plaintiff had already, to their very great in-
jury, been precipitated into the pit. In the late case of the
statute of George 111., such an objection as the present,
although equally applicable, was never taken either in this
Court or before the Lord Chancellor. But the Learned
Counsel put this case on stronger grounds, that the private
right to support the Bill was given by the Act of Parlia-
ment constituting the Company.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said the only question was,
whether the bill was not so framed as that some relief
might be granted. He did not think that to the inhabitants
of Granby-mews had been done a kind of mischief distinct
from that of which the King's subjects in general might
complain. He thought there was in this case such a special
mischief done to the inhabitants as entitled them to come
to the Court for relief. He must overrule the demurrer.
