IAILWAY COMMITTEES.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(CESTERDAY).
GROUP I.
ad eSelect Committee appointed to consider the merits of
the Bills comprised in this group, reassembled in Room 30,
at the usual hour this morning; Mr. W. O. Stanley in the
chair.

'TEE 'flummox (MXD-BENT) SCHEME.
Mr. At:m:4 resumed his reply. He commenced this
morning with the question of competition. He contended
that if the Committee were so enamoured of that principle as to
induce them to grant the Brighton Mid Kent line, they could
not refuse the Croydon line to the South-Eastern Company, '
because without that short branch the South-Eastern would
be at the mercy of the Brighten Company, and would also have
the key of the continental traffic in their possession, and that
state of things would effectually render all competition nuga-
tory. Again, he must tell :he Committee that the Brighton
Company were not anxious to make the line. It was not
promoted by them for the purpose of being made, but with
the view of defeating the South-Eastern plan. The
Committee were aware of the 20,0001. tax the
Croydon Company received from the South-Eastern
Company, without expending one farthing on their
part, and nothing was too desperate for them to under-
take to perpetrate that abominable impost. They found no
difficulty in entering into agreements with landholders, be-
cause they never intended to carry them out. It was a feel-
ing of that sort which had dictated their " bid" for this line.
The Committee would perceive that nothing was heard of
the low Brighton fares until after Mr. MacGregor
had stated the tolls the South-Eastern Company
were prepared to pledge themselves to. It was
a palpable trick, a species of bribe held out to the Committee,
or why were not the fares mentioned in the Brighton Bill.
He hoped, therefore, the Committee would, by their decision,
discountenance this forced and unnatural species of bidding
for lines, and teach the Brighton Company that the time
had arrived when Parliament telt called upon to put a stop to
such abominable trickery on the part of pnblic companies. He
could not find terms sufficiently strong to express his disgust of
conduct like this, but he hoped when the Brighton Company
came before a Committee for Bills again, Parliament would
inflict retributive justice upon them by inserting a clause in
one of their Bills, compelling them to take the low fares
they had attempted to bribe the Committee with on that
occasion. But the trick should not succeed, and he would
tell the Committee why they should not succeed. The
public, at all events, should not be injured by
the conduct of the Brighton Company in respect
to low fares. He had advised his clients—and all who were
present well knew that he was speaking literal facts—he
had advised his reluctant clients to meet the attempt of the
Brighton Company, if the members of the Committee thought
it right to encounter the responsibility, by pledging them-
selves to adopt the fares of the Brighton Company. -He made
this offer to defeat the trick of the Brighton Com-
pany, but he hoped the Committee, if they
did not feel themselves bound by the bid of
the Brighton Company, would not accept. It was not
an offer made spontaneously by his clients, but by himself,
and he made it as he had stated to defeat dishonourable
trickery. He hoped, however, the Committee would see
tit to pass the South-Eastern Bill without feeling themselves
called upon to ask the company to pledge themselves to the
ruinously low fares of the Brighton Company.
The room was then cleared, and the Committee having
deliberated for about half an hour, strangers were readmitted
and the CHAIRMAN announced the •

and Dewsbury; Great Northern, and Manchestur and Leeds
Railway Companieo. The estimated cost was 300,0001.
After some further evidence on behalf of the scheme had
been taken, the case for the promoters closed.
The case for the opposition of the Bradford and Leeds
Company, which petitioned against the Bill, was then taken.
Mr. Robert Stephenscn was examined with the object of
showing that the levels of the scheme were objectionable,
and that the several lines could not be accommodated in the
mode proposed.
Mr. Locock and several other gentlemen of Leeds were
likewise examined against the scheme as objectionable, and
preferring the plan proposed by the Leeds and Bradford
Company.
The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow (this day)
at twelire o'clock.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COVR7' OF QUEEN'S BhIVCII, April 26.
WOILIIER AND OTHERS V. TOBY.

In this case an action had been brought by the plaintiffs,
who were the members of ,the " managing committee" of
the "Direct Exeter. Plymouth, and Devouport Railway
Company," against the defendant, to recover the sum of
1051., being the amount of the deposits payable in respect of
40 shares which the plaintiffs had allotted to hint in the said
company. At the trial a verdict was given for the plaintiffs,
but in the following term a rule nisi for a new trial and in
arrest of judgment had been obtained by Mr. Sergeant
Kinglake.
Mr. C3OWDER, Q,C. (with whom was Mr. Greenwood),
now showed cause against the rule. He stated, that on
the 13th of October, 1845, the defendant had addressed
a letter to the provisional managing committee, in which he
laid,
" I request you to allot to me 50 shares in the above com-
pany, and I undertake to accept of the same, or such smaller
number as you may please to allot to me."
And' Curt her—

----
" I undertake to pay, when required, the deposit of 21.125. 6d.
per share."
The allotment was made on the 15th of December, when a
letter was addressed by the secretary to the defendant as

" I am instructed to acquaint you that the company have
allotted you 40 shares in the above undertaking, on which
a deposit of 2/. 12s. 6d. per share must be paid to one of the
undermentioned bankers on or before the 20th of December.*
It had been contended by the Learned Sergeant, on the
part of the defendant, that.the contract was made with the
" provisional committee," and that they should have been
the plaintiffs • but he would contend that the contract was
made with the "committee of management." At the time
tielettera
theppl
yingfor shares was sent, namely, on the 13th
of i
October, plaintiffs were the parties who were acting on
the committee. The letter itself was addressed to "The
Provisional Committee of Management," or managing com-
mittee; and the " managing committee" were the proper per
sons to sue in this action. There was no other company at
that time. The defendant said that the plaintiffs were not
the persons with whom he contracted, that they were merely
agents of the provisional committee, and that the provisional
committee ought to have been the plaintiffs. The Learned
Counsel contended that there were cases which showed,
that when a party made a contract in the name
of another the agent might sue ; and that that
was no inconvenience to the dfendant, for he
was, in that case, entitled to the same right of
set off. In addressing the letters to " the provisional
committee of management," it was the same thing
as if he had addressed it to them by name. Secondly,
it had been contended, that there had been a change
in the members of " the provisional committee" between the
time when the application for shares was made and the time
when they were allotted ; that some names had been omitted
and some had been added. That might be so, but " the com-
mittee of management" were the same; they were the seven
plaintiffs, and they had not been altered. They were acting
as such both at the time of the application for shares and
at the time of the allotment. A third objection had been
taken, that the committee of management had allotted only
36,000 shares, but that the defendant contracted to take
shares in a concern in which there were to be 40,000. The
capital was to be 1,000,0001., and to be divided into 40,000
shares of 25/. each. He contended that the committee of ma-
nagement were not bound to allot every one of the shares. If
there were any fraud, that would be for the jury; but that
was not even pretended in this case. The defendant had
pleaded a plea of fraud and covin, but he had not endea-
voured to substantiate it. It was clear that this was a bond
.fide undertaking. If there had been only 10,000 shares al-
lotted the case might have been different.
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—The defendant says that part
of the consideration was, that there should be 40,000 shares
allotted.

Mr. CROWDIR continued—He contended that the allot-
ment of 40,000 shares was not a condition precedent; if it
were, it would be a ground of arrest of judgment. It was
further contended by the counsel for the defendant, that the
action could not be sustained, because, on the authority of
" Nockells v. Crosby," and " Walstab v. Spottiswoode," the
defendant would have a right of action against the company
to recover back his money, on the ground of the abandon-
ment of the scheme and the failure of the consideration.
But, he would ask, could the defendant have brought such
an action on the 21st of December, the day after he should
have paid the deposit? Besides, what was it that occa-
sioned the failure of this scheme? Nothing but the default
of the defendant and other allottees. If they had fulfilled
their part of the contract the scheme would not have been
abandoned ; it would have gone on, for it was a good undar-
taking. The defendant could not allege his own default as
an answer to this action. The doctrine laid down
in “ Walstab v. Spottiswoode" was not yet settled law,
for it remained to be decided by the Court in Error. Again
it was argued that the contract had been incorrectly stated
in the declaration, as it was not alleged that 40,000 shares
were to be allotted, and there was no averment that that
number had been allotted. If that were a condition prece-
dent, the object would be veld. But the application for
shares was made when it was not known that there were
applications for so many as 40,000 shares. Suppose 39,999
shares had been allotted, is it to be supposed that the failure
to allot that one share would be sufficient to avoid the con-
trsct? It should have been put to the jury, whether it was a
substantial part of the contract; but it was not so put to
them. The defendant ought to have shown that there was
a substantial variation between the two things. In this case
36,400 shares had been allotted, and the rest were re-
served for the previsional committee. There never was a
company in which every share was allotted. It was
always thought proper to reserve shares, in case of amal-
gamation with other companies, and for landowners on the
line. His Learned Friend further contended, that part of
the consideration was, that the plaintiffs contracted to en-
deavour to obtain an Act of Parliament, and had not ful-
filled that part of their contract- He (Mr. Crowder) con-
tended that they would have done so but for the default of
the defendant and the other allottees. The plans and sections
of the railway were made and deposited in the usual way, for
it was thought to be a very good line, and Mr. Sergeant King-
lakecould rot deny that. But there was nothing mentioned
about going to Parliament in the letters which formed the
contract. It was objected further, that the defendant did
not promise to pay the deposit on the 20th ofJ)ecember,
but When he was required. The two letters, however, must
be taken together ; and he contended that they showed, sub-
stantially, an agreement to pay on the 20th of December.
The declaration might, perhaps, have been open to a special
demurrer, but it was too late to make such an objection after
verdict. Then, it was cont ended that the damages could not
amount to more than 3s. per share, because of the resolution
of the committee, that if the allottees would pay that turn,
it would be safficient. The defendant did not go to the jury
upon it ; but the Learned,Judge said, that if there was any point
of law in it, the Court might reduce the damages as it might
think fit. He contended, that as the defendant had con-
tracted to pay a certain amount and had failed to do so, the
measure of damages was tke sum which he contracted to pay.
Another objection made by the Learnsd Sergeant was, that
the Learned Judge misdirected the jury as to the reasonable-
ness of the time when the shares were allotted after the ap-
plication. The Learned Judge left it to the Ital. to say,
whether they were allotted within a reasonable time ;
own opinion, that the allotment was

within a reasonable time, that would have gone to the plea
of fraud and covin.

Mr. CROWDER continued—lf the allottees had kept their
faith the scheme would have gone on. There was no fraud;
the plaintiffs were ready and willing to perform the contract
on their part. It was urged by the Learned Sergeant, in
arrest of judgment, that, as it appeared by the advertisement
that 40,000 shares were to be allotted by the company, it
ought to have been alleged that that number had been al-
lotted ; but that could not be a condition precedent, and
therefore it was not necessary to allege it at all. On these
grounds he submitted that the rule must be discharged.
Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE, in support of the rule, said—
The first question was, with whom was the contract made?
The evidence was that it was made with the provisional
committee, and not with the managing committee, who were
the mere agents of the provisional committee. The pro-
jectors of the scheme were the members of the provisional
committee, who held themselves out to the public in the pro-
spectus as the projectors. The Learned Sergeant then
read the original prospectus to show this. They
were there called the provisional directors, and a very
long list of names was appended That list of names
might now be very inconvenient, AIN Ferrara, the secre-
tary, had told the Court, that the provisional directors and
the provisional committee were the same body. The pro-
visional directors named their solicitors, their acting en-
gineers, their secretary, and their local agents. The pro-
visional committee published that prospectus, and directed
applications for shares to be made to " the provisional com-
mittee of management," without mentioning their natties.
When deposits were paid, a receipt was given to the follow-
ing effect t—" Received, &c., on account of tie Provisional
Committee of the Direct Exeter, Plymouth, and Devon-
port Railway Company," That showed that the contract
was made with the provisional committee, who Walt the
projectors. The managing committee" was merely a
sub-committee of the provisional committee, and acting
under them, with but a limited authority On the 13th
of October, 1845, the "managing committee" wrote
to Saunders and Co., of Exeter, in the tiatni of the
provisional committee, to make arrangements for open-
! ing an account with that bank. On the 17th of October
they passed a reeolution, in which it was recited that
they had been appointed by a Dpttial meetint of the prOli•
sional committee held at Exeter, which had determined that
the committee of management should consist of twelve mem-
bers, with power to add three to their number, and that Mr.
E. Woolmer should be the chairman. The prospectus was
put forth by the provisional committee, who had done these
acts, and applications for shares were to be made to the pro-
visional committee.
Mr. Justice PATrEstra—The applications were to be made
to: " the provisional committee of management," and the
defendant in his application says, " I retitled you to allot
to me," &c., "subject to the regulations of the tiettipite3e"
making a distinction between the managing committee and
the company.
Mr. sergeant itiNtiLAttiti enntintied.=The prospectus was
issued before the " committee of management" WAS formed,
and it could not have referred to them.

ence when the application for shares WAS made, it roast

Mr. Sergeant KmGtauctr.--The contract here was made
with the provisional committee, through the medium of the
committee of management. There was also a change of the
provisional committee. The contract was
made up by the
proposal and acce p tance and he contended that the accept-
ance must be in the terms of the proposal. Here that was
not the case. The names Of the provisional committee were
,
a very material part of the contract, upon the faith of which
the defendant made his application for shares.
Lord DENMA:g—You say that the contract is not the same
if the names be changed i
scigitics of wax% &fey the prospectus provides all

Mr. Sergeant KINCLAKE—The contract was that 40,000
shares should be allotted, and they ought either to have
I allotted them, or to have been willing to do so. If the de-
fendant contracted for a certain portion of 40,000 shares, and
that portion of 36,000 was allotted to him, that was not the
same contract. There were applications made for 45,000
shares, but they did not allot them ; they reserved them for
the provisional committee, to take them or not as they
should please. The cases of "Fox s. Clifton," and "Nockell
v. Crosby," were in point. If the terms of the contract were
not fulfilled a party. might recover his deposit. The only dif
ference was, that there the scheme had been abandoned, and
the abandonment was proof of the failure of the considera-
tion. " Walstab v. Spottiswoode" and "Pitchford v. Davis"
showed that the allotmeht of shares, was a part of the con-
tract. The case of" Wontner e. Sharp," before the Common
Pleas, showed that it is part of the contract that the whole
number of shares should be allotted. He contended, also,
that the contract was not correctly stated. There was no
allegation that the plaintiffs were ready to allot the 40,000
shares, and they did not prove it at the triaL There was no
allegation that the plaintiffs were ready to go to Parliament.
The Learned Sergeant contended that the contract to pay was
not properly alleged in the declaration. The contract was to
pay when required, not on a particular day, as alleged. They
ought to have alleged that the contract was a contract to pay
when required, and then to have alleged that they did re-
quire him to pay within a reasonable time. If they had done
so, the defendant might have taken issue on the reasonable-
ness of the time. The plaintiffs had no right to let October,
November, and part of December go on, and then suddenly
to require payment. As to the amount of damages, the
plaintiffs had themselves shown that 3s. per share would
cover all the lois sustained. There was an omission of the
ellegation to pay on the 20th of December, but the record
was amended on the morning of the trial. The Learned
Sergeant submitted, that, if the decision in " Waltstab p.
Spottiswoode" was good law, the plaintiffs were not entitled
to any damages, for they must pay the money back, and were
not entitled to deduct anything for expenses. There was one
question left to the jury, and that was whether the shares had
been allotted within a reasonable time. It was quite clear
that they did not think of allotting the shares; they waited
from the 13th of October till the 15th of December, when the
panic came. The question was, whether they accepted the
offer of the defendant within a reasonable time?
Lord D*NMAN—Is there such an issue?

Mr. Sergeant KING&AKE—That arose on non assumpsit.
The Learned Judge told the jury that he did not see that
there was anything to show that the allotment was not
made within a reasonable time. He submitted that the
Learned Judge ought not to have left it with that strong
remark to the jury; and the ju-y, in adopting it, gave their
verdict, be submitted, against the evidence. On these
grounds he trusted that their Lordships would make the rule
absolute.

Mr. MONTAGU SMITH, on the same side, said that the
committee of management were never alluded to in the
prospectus, and their Lordships would not go out of the
document, unless there was a latent ambiguity. It there
was any ambiguity it was patent upon &be face of the docu-
ment.

Mr. Justice PATTESON—That is assuming that any person
reading it would come to the conclusion that "the provisional
committee" and " the provisional committee;of management"
are the same. But I think that any one reading it would
conclude directly the contrary.
Mr. Mown,.Gu SMITH—By the Registration Act (7 and 8
Victoria, chap. 110), each member of the committee was
bound to take shares in the company. In this case that was
not done. He contended that a party might contract with
a known agent when the principal was unknown, but not
with an unknown agent when the principal was known. A
party contracting with an agent elects him as it were eo
nomine, but here the defendant did not know the names of
the committee of management. He contended that the
names were most material, and put the case of a provisional
committee consisting of the names of Iludson, Glynn, and a
gentleman residing at Boulogne, and supposed the two former
names to have been withdrawn. Not one of the directors
had bound himself to pay anything; they should have been
bound in the same way as others. The Learned Counsel
cited the case of "Boach v. White," to show that the allot-
ment of the shares was part of the consideration. In con-
sequence of the non-allotment of the whole nutither of shares,
the defendant was called upon to pay 1-36,0J0th fnstead of
I-40,000th part of the whole. As soon as the committee
allotted the shares, they passed a resolution that, if the par-
ties would pay 3s. per share, they should be released from
further liability. He would ask who was liable to the de-
fendant? The provisional committee or the committee of
management? The committee waited till the panic came,
and then allotted the shares.

Lord DENINIAN said, the Court would consider their judg.
ment. -

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Robert Brownrigq Tolfrey, a . fashionably-dressed young
man, residing at No. 36, Howland-street, Fitzroy-square,
was charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing a gold chain,
and a purse containing one suverign, the property of Eliza
Williams, 60, Poland-street, Soho.

The complainant, who is, what is termed, a " gay lady,"
stated that she arrived at Lambeth from Richmond on board
of her yacht, on the preceding, night, and proceeded to the
saloon in Windmill-street to meet a particulor friend. As
soon as she entered the place she was accosted by the defen-
dant, who requested her to dance with him. She consented,
and after two or three turns round the room, she felt a jerk at
her neck chain. She took little notice of that at the
time, but, subsequently, a lady came up to her, and in-
formed her that she had been robbed. She (complainant)
put her hand to her neck and missed the chain. She then
went in pursuit of the prisoner, and saw him hand some-
thing to a friend who was with him ; they were about leaving
the place when complainant called a constable and gave the
prisoner in charge. On her arrival at the station she missed
her purse, and as the prisoner was the only "gent" who had
been dancing with her, she felt confident he must have stolen
her puroe.
Police-eoncololg. $5 C, was on duty in Windmill-street at
twenty minute,. *tst two that morning, when h. was in-
formed that a lady had been robbed at the Saloon. He pro-
ceeded to the place, and received charge of the prisoner, and
conveyed him to the station, where he was searched, but
nothing belonging to the complainant was found upon him.
In answer to Air. BINGHAM, the prisoner said he was of no
profession or trade. He was a gentleman living on his pro-
perty. He denied being guilty of such an accusation.
BINGIIA3I remanded him tdl to-morrow (this day).

PHYSICAL VERSUS MORAL---Whether the Physi-
,
cal wants should be remedied through the Moral, or the
Moral through the Physical, has been a question which has
occupied the attention of philosophers and philanthropists
for centuries. Without attempting to decide the question,
there can be no doubt that when the Physical condition is
impaired it demands the first attention. For instance; a
person whilst suffering from an acute attack of Gout would
be unable to appreciate the sublimest lessons of philosophy,
even though enunciated by the divine Plato. How much
more welcome to the sufferer would be a box of Blair's
Gout and Rheumatia Pills, so efficacious in eradicating this
distressing malady.
Bell Life in London, of May 2, will have the
fullest and Most Correct particulars of Chester Races. " Bell's 1
Life" will contain, on Sundav, May 9, a perfect chart of the
different race courses on Newmarket-heath, showing dis-
tinctly the positions and lengths of each, their rises and falls,
surveyed with great care by Mr. J. F. Clarke, of Newmar-
ket, The want of such a guide, with comprehensive expla-
nations, has long been wanting; and, as it will be a source of
continual reference, we would recommend those who desire
to possess it to order extra papers. A sixpence enclosed to
Mr. Clement, jun., No. 170, Strand, will insure a copy of
Bell's Life at any time by return of post to any part of Eng-
land, Scotland, or Ireland. The Newmarket, Epsom, and
Bath Spring Meetings, with the French Steeple Chases, were
given in Bens Life in Londou, of April 18, to the extent of
seven folio columns.

SERVANTS' PROVIDENT AND BENEVOLENT SO-
