nitely stated: that the form of the bond was wrong, as
it contained the words " un demand;" and also that the
❑otice served upon the plaintiff was not in the terms au-
thorised by the Act, as it stated that the company in-
tended, at the expiration of three weeks, to enter upon
the lands referred to in the plan annexed, such land
not being more than 200 yards distant from the centre of

On behalf of the defendants it was submitted that they
had acted in strict conformity with the terms of the Act
or Parliament. At the conclusion of the arguments the
Vice-Chancellor of England, in giving judgment, said
upon the first objection, that in the appointment Ut
a& surveyor, the land intended to be taken was not speci-
fied ; he did not see that the Act required anything 01
the. sort. It was for the justices to take care that tin
valuation was made of such laud as was in dispute ; bit
the Act did not require that the land should be specified.
Another objection had been raised as to the sufficiency
of the sureties to the bond ; but he did not think there
was any question about that, since the bond had been
given, and the money actually paid. The receipt upon
the bond stated that the money was placed to the credit
of the Great Northern Railwa) Company ; and it had
been contended that this was wrong ; but he could not
see that there was any substantial objection to it, as
the money was to the account of the plaintiff; and there-
fore it was a literal compliance with the terms of the
Lict. The next objection was upon the word " demand."
dis Honour would not say that this was wrong, but he
would reserve his judgment, and determine the point
another day. As to the form of the notice, which stated
that the company intended to take the plaintiff's laud
for the several purposes mentioned, some or one of
,hem," be thought that was contrary to the terms of the
Act. The notice ought to specify the purposes for
which the land was required, otherwise the owner would
:lave the burden thrown upon him of considering all the
different questions that would arise as to how far other
hinds mignt be equally good for the purpose. His
Honour, therefore, granted an injunction as to that part
of the case, and 'rem that decision the present appeal
was brought.
Mr. Rult and Mr. Dennison were counsel for the
appellant; and Mr. J. Bann and Mr. Craig appeared for
the plaintiff.
The arguments occupied the Court the whole morning.

VICE-CHANCERY,—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.)
THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT V. MORRIS.—JUDGMENT.
His Honour Vice-Chancellor Wicitam gave judg-
ment to-day in this case, which was argued before him
some time since. The bill was filed by the noble plain-
tiff for the purpose of obtaining an injunction to re-
strain the defendant from suffering the water of his
mines from flowing into that of the plaintiff. The Duke
and his eldest son, the M.rgni. of W orccat.A , are tee
e, coat-mine in Glamorganshire, called the
Landore mine, situated in the centre and lower part of
a basin-shaped tract of land. On one side of this mine,
and adjoining it, is another called the Pentre mine, be-
lonp ing to Mr. George Byng Morris, beyond which is
[another, the property of Mr. Phillips, and beyond it
another, called Cae Grebos, of which Mr. G. B. Morris
is the proprietor. On the other side of the Landore
mine, and adjacent to it, is the Drew's Pit mine ; be-
yond it flews the river Tawey, and beyond the river lies
another coal mine, called Llysnewydd. Drew's pit and
Llysnewydd culleries belong to Mr. Morris. The same
gentleman was, until the year 1845, lessee, under the Duke
,f Beaufort, of the Landore mine, and, during his pos-
session of it, communications existed between his several
mines, so that the watt-r contained in them poured into
the Landore mire, the bottom of the basin, and was
there pumped up by a powerful engine. Since the expi-
ration of the lease of the Landore colliery, in 1845, Mr.
Morris has continued working his mines at Cae
Grobas and Llysnewydd, and the Duke com
elained that water continued to pour from the new
workings through the old communication into the
Pentre pit, -and thence into the J andore pit.
The noble plaintiff also complained that the- communi-
cation mad, between the Llysnewydd and Drew's pits
not only brought down t, Landore the water of the
former mine, but also that, by reason of its passing
under
the Tawey, that river would probably break
through its bed, of a loose and gravelly nature, and flow
into the Landore colliery. The engine at the latter pit
had not been worked since December, 1845, when Mr.
Morris's lease expired, and that mine was filled with
water, which the Duke of Beaufort now desired o pump
out, but which he thought it imprudent to do until he
had compelled Mr. Morris to stop all communications
between his mines and that of the plaintiff. To accom-
plish this object, and also to restrain Mr. Morris from
making any new communications, the present suit was
instituted. Shortly atter the bill was filed, an injunction
was granted by Lord Lyndhurst to res.r.in Mr. Morris
from working his mines to that of UT detriment of the
noble plaintiff. On the cause coming on for hearing
before the Vice Chancellor Wigrain, it was sought to
tcno, thei onlya1:1e

make that injunction perpe.tual. His Honour, after
going through the

the bill for a twelvemonth, giving liberty to the plaintiff

bill to be dismissed with costs.

POYNDER V. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
This case came before his Lordship upon appeal irom
the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor of England, deli-
vered yesterday, granting an injunction restraining the
defendants—the Great Western Railway Company—
from making their railway over the land belonging to
the plaintiff in St. Mary's, Islington, or from continuing
in possession of the land. From the statements in the
bill it appeared that the company gave the plaintiff
notice in February last that they intended to take the
land, whereupon the plaintiff app,inted a person to value
the land, and the sum amuuntea to 1,3381 While the
negotiations were proceeding, the company, without
notice to the plaintiff, applied to two justices, under the
powers in their Act, for the appointment of a surveyor,
who valued the land at 9501. The company, after this,
delivered to the plaintiff a bond under their common
seal, and signed by the solicitors of the company, for
the payment of the said sum of 9501., with a condition
that the bond should be void if the company and their
solicitors should on demand pay to the plaintiff, or
should on demand deposit-in the Bank of England, the
amount of such purchase money or compensation as
should be determined upon, under the powers of their
Act of Parliament. Upon the bond was endorsed a re-
ceipt by the cashier of the Bank of England for the
9501., with a statement that the sum had been placed
to the account of William Russell, Esq., the accountant-
general of the Court of Chancery, to the credit of
ex parte the Great Northern Railway Company, to the
account of Thomas Poynder. The company took pos-
session of the plaintiff's land on, the 12th of this
month, and commenced making their Works upon it, and
another notice was served upon the plaintiff, that the
company would require more lands belonging to him.
Upon the case coming on before the Vice-Chancellor of
England, it was contended for the plaintiff that the pro-
ceeoings they had taken were informal ; that upon the
appointment of a surveyor, under the order of the jus-
