of a public-house; but on the 9th of. November, without any,
notice having been given, or the key demanded, the defen-
dant, under the authority of Mr. Brown, the landlord, broke
into the premises and sized the property, under a distress
warrant, for 121. 108. The Learned Counsel said that the
main question for the jury would be, whether the goods had
been sold at a fair price.
The UNDER- SHERIFF said, that if the goods were sold in the
open market, the price fetched would probably be considered
their fair value.

Mr. Brookman, an auctioneer, was called, and said that
there had been 20 boats in the dock. One (a galley) was
worth 10/. ; the worst would fetch 2/. 10s. ; the total value
of the boats and fixtures bought by the plaintiff, when he
took possession of the house, was 93/.
Sewell was called— He was a boat-keeper on the Lea,
and bought the galley for 275. He considered it worth 41.
He had bid 295. for the beer-engine, and had since offered
41. for it ; it was sold for 21. 10s. He considered the sale very
fair, and he was quite satisfied, as he had got a good bargain.
Mr. CHARNOCK, who appeared for the defendant, urged
that there was no proof of the trespass by the breaking and
entering into the house, and the goods only fetched 131.25. Bd.,
although the rent due was 121. 10s., and the costs and ex-
penses made a total of 15/. 2s. 2d.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said he did not consider that the
expenses could be urged in mitigation. Defendant had ad-
mitted he had done wrong, and could not charge for that
wrong. The question was, the difference between what the
goods were sold for and what they ought to have fetched.
Mr. CHARNOCK said he would show that the goods had
been properly appraised, and had been fairly sold at public
auction.

Evidence was then adduced, on behalf of the defendant, to
show that the prices at which the goods had been sold were
such as an auctioneer ought to take; the boats fetched, on
the average, Bs. each.
Mr. HAWKINS, in reply, said that the trespass was ad-
mitted by the default of plea, and contended that under the
count for trover the plaintiff was entitled to the full value of
the; goods, and that the amount of the rent said, but not
proved, to be due, ought not to be deducted from the amount
of damages.
The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said, that at first he was of
opinion that the expenses of the levy, &c., could not be taken
into consideration in the verdict ; but having read the record,
he considered that those counts whisk, it was urged, bore ad-
missions, ought also to bear explanations, therefore he would
admit evidence as to the whole of the declaration. He con-
sidered that the jury should take the rent due and the ex-
penses into consideration, then adduce from the evidence the fair
value of the property seized, and give a verdict for the plain-
tiff for the difference, if in his favour. At all events the
defendant, by suffering judgment to go by default, had sub-
jected himself to a verdict for nominal damages.
The jury gave a verdict for 101., over and above the rent due.
The case lasted four hours.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)

The arrangement with respect to the clauses agreed to
was, that in regard to the Forth and Clyde Canal the pro-
moters of the Bill would construct their works under it in a
way to satisfy a neutral engineer, Mr. Walker, or, failing
him, Mr. Robert Stephenson. It was provided, in addition,
that the cut for deviating the canal during the progress of
the works should be maintained for a year after the water
was restored to its usual course, and that the company should
be responsible at the time for any injury done by the works
either to the canal or to the property of the public.
Mr. Tennant, the Inchbally Road Trustees, and tte Edin-
burgh and Glasgow Railway Company, also obtained pro-
tective clauses.
The Committee then adjourned.

Wheat have come in from abroad, yet nearly the
whole was taken for shipment to France at a further improve-
ment in value of from 4s to 53 per quarter. The sale for all
kinds of Barley, the supply of which was on the increase,
was active at is to 2s per quarter more money.
There was only a retail inquiry for Malt; but previous rates
were firmly supported. Very few Oats were on show, and a

GROUP XLIX.

This Committee assembled at the usual time to-day; Mr.
Cripps in the chair; all the members present.
CALEDONIAN AND GLASGOW, AND
GREET/OC= .PLIV/ALGAIWATION.

The case on behalf of this Bill was resumed.
Mr. Cubitt, C.E., examined—Deposed that he was con-
sulting engineer of the London and Brighton line, and bad
experience of its working. Formerly the London and Croy-
don was an independent company between London
and Croydon. Then came the London and Brighton
Company, which constructed the portions from Croydon to
ll,eigate. Since then the South-Eastern came in, and the
London and Croydon portion was worked by the three com-
panies. The London station was jointly used by them. From
what he had learned of the Glasgow and Paisley joint sta-
tion, he apprehended no difficulty in the working of it. If the
present amalgamation took place it would lead to a great
economy in the working of trains and management.
Mr. ihrding, formerly secretary and manager of the
Greenock Railway, and now superintendent of the Bucking-
ham lines, deposed as to the financial condition of the
company when he was connected with it. They
could, on several occasions, barely pay a dividend of one per
cent., and bad to abridge their expenses very much in
officers, trains, and general management. He was firmly
persuaded that the proposed amalgamation would serve, not
only the shareholders, but the public.
This closed the case for the promoters.
After an adjournment of about an hour
-Mr. TALBOT addressed the Committee at some length in
review of the evidence adduced in support of the Bill. He
said the whole objections he had to urge were resolvable
into two heads. The one was, that it would be the means
of enabling the Caledonian Company to bring its traffic on to
the joint line free of expense, on the terms of the agreement
entered into between the Ayrshire and Greenock Companies.
The other point was, that the public would suffer by putting
the key of the line to Greenock into the hands of the Caledonian
Company, who had the strongest interest in throwing diffi-
culties in the way of passengers going to the steam-packets,
in order to send them through to England by their main line.
On these grounds, which the Learned Gentleman amplified
at some length, he submitted that the preamble of the Bill
ought to be rejected.

and

On the assembling of the parties the clauses of this Bi
were proceeded with.
. . . .

A considerable time was spent in the discussion of the
clauses to be inserted in the Bill to regulate the works, so as
to protect the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway and the
Forth and Clyde Navigation.
The arrangement with respect to the clauses agreed to
was, that in regard to the Forth and Clyde Canal the pro-
moters of the Bill would construct their works under it in a
way to satisfy a neutral engineer, Mr. Walker, or, failing
him, Mr. Robert Stephenson. It was provided, in addition,
that the cut for deviating the canal during the progress of
the works should be maintained for a year after the water
was restored to its usual course, and that the company should
be responsible at the time for any injury done by the works
either to the canal or to the property of the public.
Mr. Tennant, the Inehbally Road Trustees, and the Edin-
burgh and Glasgow Railway Company, also obtained pro-
tective clauses.
The Committee then adjourned.

GROUP XXXIII.

LEEDS, DEWSBURY, AND MANCHESTER
(EXTENSION TO WAKEFIELD, &c.)
The Committee met this morning at the usual hour; Mr.
Hope in the chair.
Evidence in support of the opposition of the landowners,
particularly that of the proprietors of the Wakefield cattle
market, was continued at the sitting of the Committee.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS then addressed the Committee at
some length in opposition to the project, and in favour of the
line which he represents—the Great Northern Railway
(Extension to Leeds, and the Manchester and Leeds)—
(the two lines are about to amalgamate), whose projects, he
contended, would intersect the most populous parts of the
district, and would, consequently, offer the greatest accom-
modation.

The Learned COUNSEL then called Mr. llawkshaw, whom
he examined at great length, in opposition to the Bill—Mr.
Hawkshaw considered that the projects of the Manchester
and Leeds, and the Great Northern, were vastly superior to
the line of the Leeds and Dewsbury.
Both sides have now completed their cases, and another
Bill will be proceeded with on the meeting of the Committee
to-morrow, at twelve.

GROUP XXXIV.

Several witnesses were called in favour of this Bill. Their

Bill.

The Committee on this group resumed its sittings this
morning at twelve o'clock, in Room 14 ; Sir Charles Lemon

and deposed to the superiority of Chatsworth Park line,
over the one that had been projected through Bakewell,
which, in his opinion, would entail au enormous expense tor
a tunnel.

Mr. Gooch, Mr. T. H. Statham, and other engineers, cor-

estimates were quite sufficient to construct tho works.

Some disposition has been shown to attach importance
to the circumstance of an insurance of gold to the extent
of 80,0001. hating been effected on a Government
vessel from Russia, but it is probable that this is no-
thing more than a remittance for the Grand Duke
Constantine. There is something not very dignified in
the eagerness with which every small report about
Russian gold is now caught up and circulated in the City ;
and we apprehend, moreover, that notwithstanding the
Emperor's investments, the flow of bullion before the
end of the year will be in a direction to disappoint these
wipes.
