COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY

WOOLET V. DAVIS.
In this registration appeal, the last of the list remaining
for decision, the Court this morning gave judgment in favour
of the appellant. The case came from Monmouthshire, and
the point raised was respecting a notice of objection served
on the appellant. The notice in question was addressed to
the residence of the party, but the name in the superscrip-
tion was not the proper name of the farm, or place of resi-
dem, but another by which it was alleged the place was
usirilTy known. The Revising Barrister decided the notice
to be good ; hence the present appeal.

palm that to-morrow week he should ask a question givoef
the Noble Lord at the head of the Government whether it
was the intention of the Ministry to bring in any Bill re-
apecting the amalgamation of lines of railway? He should
do this because he had last session the honour of being
chaff man of the Committee appointed to consider the
..omation railway s, and he therefore thought it his
duty to draw the attention of the House to great abuses
which had been found to exist. In one case, in conse-
quence of the notice of amalgamation of one line,
from which it was anticipated that only a revenue of
three per cent., but for which an agreement was entered
