LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ROLL S COURT, April3o.
There was nothing of any general interest before the Cour
his morning.

COURT OF EXCHEQUAR April 30.
(Sittings in Banco.)
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL P. BAILLIE.
The question in this case was, whether sweet spirits of
nitre was intended by the Legislature be subject to taxa-
tion, as an article in the manufacture of which spirits of wine
had been consumed.
No judgment had been given on the point when our re-
port left.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, April 30.
(Sittings: in Banco.)
RICHARDS P. TUBBS.

This was an action directed to try whether certain pi; t
of the parish of Kwnsington was liable to he rated under the
Lighting, Cleaning, and Paving Aci. The particulars did
not possess much interest.
The COURT was unanimously of opiiion that judgment
should go for defendant. •
Judgment accordingly.

BALL COURT, April 29
(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE. )
TUE QUEEN V. BUAITHWAITE AND ANOTHER.

Sir F. THESIGER applied to his Lordship f;ir a rule calling,
upon Mr. J hn Braithwaite, the proprietor, and Charles
Wyman, the publisher, of the Railway limes, to show cause
why a criminal information should not be tiled against them
for publishing a libel in that journal reflecting on the cha-
racter of George Frederick Muntz, Esq., M.P. for Birming-
ham. It appeared from the affidavits on which the Learned
Counsel founded his motion, that in August. 1845, n meeting
was convened at Birmingham to consider the propri,ty of
forming a railway from there to Leicester, which meeting
Mr. Muntz was requested to atend by a person name.
Shaw, a houeeholder of Birmingham. Mr. Muntz aid at-
tend the meeting, where he found about sixty gerttlernen
as-
sembled, by whom it was resolved that the project should
be carried out, and so convinced was Mr. Muntz of the ulti-
mate success of the measure that he agreed to take 101
shares in the proposed company, which were accordingly
allotted to him, and which he still retained, having paid the
deposit, &c. It was after wards proposed that he ,lieuld be the
chairman of the new company, but this he declined, on account
of his Parliamentary engagements; but he ultimately consent ed
to accept the office, provided Mr. Shaw was appsinteal the
vice-chairman, and undertook to discharge the duties of that
• office. Prospectuses were subsequently issued, and a provi,
sional committee appointed. The capital proposed to be
raised was 600,000/., in shares of 201. each, upon which a
deposit of two guineas a share was to bs paid. The shares
were duly allotted, and the amount paid up upon them
was 52,00/, which was paid into the hands of the
bankers. The necessary arrangements were then made
fur obtaining an Act of Parliament to establish the coin
pang. The Bill was thrown out owing to the opposition
of two rival lines, whereupon it was resolved that 1/. a
share should be returned to the subscribers, the accounts
investigated, and the whole concern wound up. On the
28th of November an article was published in the Rail-
way Times, designating the whole scheme as a bubble, and
stating Mr. Muntz to have been the chairman of a most
disgraceful scheme; and in a subsequent number of that
journal it was stated that the Members for Birmingham
bad been most unfortunate in their railway speculations,
and had not been particularly scrupulous in their pro-
ceedings, which had stamped their characters with indelible
disgrace. Mr. Muntz bad placed his name at the head of
a bubble company, and which had induced other parties to
join it. Mr. Muntz in his affidavit denied that the company
in question was a bubble one, and said that it was formed
land fide; and also denied the material allegations contained
in the libel.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said he doubted whether the facts
were sufficient to call for such an interference, but would,
nevertheless, grant a rule, as it might lead to some explaw.-
lion or disavowal by the defendants.
Rule to show cause granted.
THE QUEEN V. PHILIP HENRY MUNTZ AND OTHERS.

Mr. Cocxnutts said he was instructed on the part of cer-
tain shareholders) of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction
Railway Company to apply to his Lordship for a rule, calling
upon the defendants, and the directors generally of the
above company, to show cause why a writ of mandamus
should not issue commanding them to elect by ballot four of
their number who were to retire from the direction, and alss
convene a general meeting of the shareholders of the com-
pany to elect tour other persons to supply their places. The
Learned Counsel proceeded to state that the case was one
that had already undergone very considerable argument in
the Court of Chancery, the result of which was that the
parties were directed to apply to a court of common law
for the relief which they sought. He then detailed at great
length the proceedings that have taken place in the Court
of Chancery, the particulars of which have so recently been
published that a recapitulation of them is unnecessary on
the present occasion.
His LORLAIIIP granted a rule to show cause.

Determination of blood to the head, apoplexy, &c.,

I'ill of Health, which, by strengthening the action of the
stomach, and promoting a healthy and regular digestion of
the food, prevents a recurrence of those symptoms of this

In our notice of the performances at the Strand
Theatre we inadvertently stated that Mr. Darice performed
the part of the young Earl of Normanfield, and also spoke
the epilogue. It was Mr. Henry Lee who performed this
part and spoke the epilogue, and not Mr. Darke.
NORTHERN COUNTIES UNION RAILWAY.—We
understand that the Wath and Tebay contracts have been
well let, under the engineer's estimate. The tender for the
Wath contract amounts to little more than 5,000/. The
works will be commenced without delay; active operations
are in progress for this purpose.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—BOTANIC WATER AND BEAR'S
GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin and falling off,
the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the
use of the two above•named articles applied alternately, the
botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a sti-
mulant, and the bear's grease as a nourisher. If any further
evidence was required of the virtues of bea r's grease for reno-
vating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the
quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of
the North American Indians would be a sufficient answer.—
Ross and Son's, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate• street, who first
introduced the use of bear's grease in this country, and who
fat and kill the animals recommend the public to purchase
none other but with their names and Offress printed on the
Po, t or the chances are they are dStainilig a spurious ar-
ticle. All vegetable oils applied t the hair are worse than
useless.
NAVAL AND MILITARY IBLE SOCIETY.--Thurs-
day the sixty-seventh anniversary meeting of the above
was held at at the Hanover-square Rooms. The
Society was
of Cholmendeley in the chair. The secretary read
the report or the current year, from which it appeared
that the cash receipts amounted to 2,559/. 12s. 3d., and the
expenditure to 2,586/. 10s. 9d., which, with the balance in
hand of last year, makes a present balance of 141/. Gs. 9d.
in hand. Among the receipts during the past year, was a
legacy from Mrs. Ann Trade, of 356/. Is. The number of
copies of the Holy Scriptures furnished to the army during
the past year was 1,594. To her Majesty's ships 1,540
copies had been supplied. The total issues to merchant-
seamen of bibles and testaments were 7,631 : 3,684 copies
had been issued among canal boatmen, and 200 furnished to
the Inland Navigation Society. The total distribution of
