COLNSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY. tbi9
The SoLreiTon- GENERAL concluded his reply in
•
case today, which came before the Court upon a,d.lell,
murrer put in by the defendants to the plaintiff S
°i,
The plaintiff, in March, 1817, contracted with the:A;ci
fendants to furnish the woks which should be reclu"'be
for a portion of their railway, near Sheffield; and by
terms of the contract the works were to be completed °heo
or before the Ist October, 1848, to the satisfaction of I
company's engineer. It was also provided that lit°o
should be of the essence of the contract, and that, °e
failure by the plaintiff to complete the works at the tiros
specified, he should pay 1501. a day until such 6040
the engineer of the company should certify that the vi°lo
were properly completed; and the company were ,11 s'
empowered, in that event, on giving fourteen us. Yon
notice to the plaintiff, to enter upon and take possesslhe
of the works and complete them at the expense of o.
plaintiff. The bill stated that as the company were -the
able to provide funds to the plaintiff for carrying °II die
works at the times and in the instalments specified in 'O,
contract, the engineer had directed the plaintiff to Pre,
coed more slowly with the works than they were! rtiff
quired to do by the contract, and that after the pita
r,
had complied with such request, the company had neretba
theless put in force the power reserved to them julbe
contract to take possession of the plaintiff's works-
bill prayed an injunction to restrain the defendants froo
so doing, and that they might be decreed specifically Cr
perform the contract. To this bill a aeneral clonorr
was put in for want of equity.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. OSBORNE, for try
demurrer, contended that the relief sought was Pu.'",ei
legal, and that the bill did not allege that the engis—
had acted by the direction of the company.
and
Mr. WOOD and Mr. ERSICINE for the plaintiff arb-10.
that the extension of the time allowed for the coil use
tion of the contract amounted to a waiver of the CO
of forfeiture.
se'
His HoNoult, at the conclusion of the Solicitor.,.ethe
ral's reply, intimated his impression to be against till
demurrer, but he would not finally decide the case
nity
to-morrow, in order that he might have as
of looking into the cases that had been referred to in
course of the argument.
