SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Undersheriff BURCIIELL.)

NEW TRIAL.-HOLNES V. THE LONDON AND SOUTH.

WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of
6/. 10s., arrears of wages, claimed by the plaintiff, as a
guard in the service of the London and South-Western
Railway Company.
The case was heard a short time since in this court,
when a verdict was given for the plaintiff, but, on appli-
cation to the court above, a new trial was granted.
The facts of the case were these :—the plaintiff had
been in the service of the company since 1840. In Ja-
nuary, last year, the plaintiff was second guard of the
train to Gosport. Amongst other rules of the company
every guard was bound to light his hand-lamp at sun-
set; and on the day in question, at half-past five
o'clock in the evening, he discovered that his lamp
had not been placed for him, and as it was an
express train, he stopped it at Woking station to ob-
tain a lamp. The delay was not more than half a mi-
nute, the down-train being due in five minutes. For
this delay at a station at which he ought not to have
stopped, Mr. Stovin, the manager on the line, reduced the
plaintiff se. per week between January and August.
The plaintiff was paid on 26th March. One week in
June and three in\ August he was paid in full. The
question now was, whether the Company were entitled
to inflict an arbitrary fine in the shape of a deduction in
wages for an unlimited period?

From the great number of witnesses to be examined,
the case is likely to occupy the greater part of the day.
