posed to find fault with those placed over them in a
political point of view ? No, they were not. In con-.
elusion, he (Mr. Stubs) said he perfectly agreed with
them in the sentiment expressed in their resolution,
viz., "that one principal means of this country maintaining
the superiority she bad acquire! over all other nations was
found to exist in a good understanding between the em-
ployer and the employed." The cup presented to hire was
a mere matter of gold ; but that sentiment was one worthy
to be inscribed in letters of gold. God had prospered
his efforts, and it was now no longer necessary for him to
confine himself to the selfish employment of personal ag-
grandisement. He had higher and more important duties
to per form. As a Magistrate, he had to look to thu wel-
fare of the community by whom he was surrounded. lie
had now only one word to add, that was—be heartily
thanked them.—(Great applause.)
The CHAIRMAN afterwards proposed the health of Mr.
Joseph Stubs, which was drank with that same display of
enthusiasm as was evinced on the announcement of the
preceding toast.
Mr. JOSEPH STUBS said, there was great truth in
the old proverb, that it was a happy thing for a man
to have a father born before him. When he came into
the concern he felt the importance of it. He found
that his father's mode of conducting the business bad
got a " good name ;" to that bis brother had added,
and there remained but little for him to do further
than to maintain that good name they had so justly
acquired. He had always studied to make himself
useful to the establishment, and hoped he could with-
out vanity and with truth say, he had on all occasions
done his best to promote the interests of every man in
their employ. He perfectly agreed with every senti-
'heat uttered by his brother (Mr. William Stubs), and
heartily thanked them for the kind testimonial of ap-
probation presented to him that day. In return, h
bad only to drink to all their good healths, and to assure
them that, so long as he lived, he should strive to promote
their interests, their comfort, and their wishes to the best
of his ability.—(Cheers.)
Mr. JOHN LITTON proposed the health of " Mrs. Wil-
liam Stubs and family," and Mr. JOSEPH LITTON the
health of " Mrs. Joseph Stubs." The toasts having been
responded to, _ _ _

Mr. Ww. 'STUBS proposed the health of " Mr. Ikeke-
wick, the Manager of the Rotherham Works."
The healths of the Chairman, Mr. James Marson, jun.,
Mr. William Marson, Mr. Howard, and other persons con-
nected with the works, were afterwards drank.
Success to the Lancashire file and tool trade—The Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty and the other patrons of
the Stubs's files—The town and trade of Warrington—The
Lancashire witches—and other toasts, enlivened by the in-
troduction of a number of glees admirably sung, passed the
time merrily on, until the approach of midnight warned
the company to retire.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL 23.

LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY V COOPER.

This was an appeal from the decision of the Vice-
Chancellor, yesterday, dissolving an injunction, restraining
the defendant, one of the Trustees of a highway at
Shoreham, from interfering with the construction of a
Railway by the plaintiffs, from a wharf on the sea shore
across and upon a level with the highway,7to their ter-
minus at Shoreham, a distance of forty yard!. Mr.
Knight Bruce and Mr. Goldsmith appeared for the
plaintiffs, and Mr. Stuart for the defendants.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he conceived the Com-
pany were not authorized by the Act to deal with the
turnpike road as they bad done, and the motion must
therefore be dismissed with coats.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, AriuL 23.
DUNN V. ALEXANDER,

At the rising of the Court the plaintiff in this case
begged to be allowed to move for a new trial—he had at-
tenued on Monday last, but he was very awkwardly situ-
ated, for he had had the misfortune to be arrested.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Your case was put down in the
paper, and it was called on several times, but no one ap-
peared to wake the motion.
Mr. Dunn %s as aware of that. He attended on Monday,
but Lord Abinger then refused to hear him, and di, ected
him to put the cause down. He had sent to the Court
several times, in order to see how the,r Lordships got
through the list, but it was only last night late that he had
been informed it had been struck out. He trusted he
would not be denied justice. A nonsuit had been entered
against him, which could not stand for a moment, as it
was against all the law in the books.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—That is begging the whole
question.
Mr. Dunn was aware of that, but he hoped he would
not be saddled with costs so contrary to law.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—But the other party has rights
as well as you. The rules of the Court allowed them to
sign judgment on Wednesday evening. Had that step
been taken?

Mr. Dunn being in custody, he could not say
what had been done.

Mr. Baron ALDERSON—If judgment has not Le en
signed, we can suspend it until you have been heard.
That is all we can do for you. We cannot bear you until
Lord Abinger is on the Bench, which will not be till
Monday. You had better attepd then.
The Court then rose.
