CHAPMAN V. TilE BRIDGEWATER CANAL COMPANY

The arguments in this part. heard motion were resumed to.day. The
case came before the Court upon an appeal motion from the order of the
Vice-Chancellor, granting an injunction restraining the defendants, the
Bridgewater Canal Company, from proceeding with certain works for the
construction of a branch of their canal across the lands of the plaintiff:
It appeared from the statements of Mr. Wigram, with whom Mr. Piggot
appeared in behalf of the appellants, that the plaintiff was the owner of
several acres of land, through which the defendants proposed to carry a
branch of their canal. The Company had offered the plaintiff the sum
of 360/. for the purchase of two acres of the land; but, in consequence
of the refusal of the latter to receive that sum, a jury had been sum.
moned to assess the damage and the value of the land iequired. That
tribunal determined that the latter was worth 9.69/., and they also added
to that, 360/. for prospective damage. The defendant did not object to
the valuation of the ground, but they had refused to pay for prospective
damage. The plaintiff then filed his Bill for an injunction to restrain
the works of the defendants ; and, upon the matter coming on before
the Vice-Chancellor, his Honour granted the injunction, on the ground
that the defendants had committed a breach of contract.

The SOLICITOU-GENERAI, who was partly heard yesterday, proceeded
with his arguments to-day in support of the judgment of the Court
below, but had not concluded when our reporter left.

THE 7, SOULT AND, WELLINGTON

" SUN."

Our enterprising Contemporary, Mr. Murdo Young of
The Sun, has founded an era in Newspaper printing.
With the " Golden Sun," containing within its illuminated
limits, an exquisitely executed portrait engraving of our
lovely Queen, the country, we may, we believe, add the
European Continent, is already familiar. BA resplendent
as is that specimen of art and genius, the " Soult and Wel-
lington Sun," which issued from the press on. Saturday last,
bids fair to eclipse it, and to challenge as wide, if not a
more extended, circulation. This magnificent production,
shadowing forth striking likenesses, executed in the boldest
style of the difficult art of medallion engraving, is a curiosity
in its way ; and reflects the greatest credit on our -distin-
guished Contemporary. To enhance its value there are
many gems of appropriate poetry from the pen of Mr.
Young.— IVatedbrd Chronicle.
The Extraordinary Sun," containing medallion por-
traits of the Duke of Wellington and Marshal Soult, is at
length in the hands of the public. It fully realizes all that
we could have anticipated from Mr. Young's spirited efforts
in the " Coronation Sun," and is a production of unequalled
beauty and talent.—Western Times.

British treacle is worth 9s. per cwt. in the foreign markets. The
