VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.)

His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took motions
to-day, it being the first day of Hilary Term.

ATKINSON V. HEATON.

Mr. K. BRUCE applied in this case, ex parte, for a
special injunction to restrain the defendant from selling
certain shares in the Bristol and Exeter Rail-
way Company. From the statements of the Learned
Counsel, supported by those in the bill and the affidavits,
it appeared that in the early part of last year the plain-
tiff was applied to, by a gentleman named Lancaster,
to purchase fOr him fifty shares in the Exeter and
Bristol Railway Company. In consequence of this he
applied to the defendant, Heaton, but in consequence of
not being able to effect the transfer of Mr. Heaton's
shares in time, he transferred 50 shares of his own to
Mr. Lancaster, intending to replace them by the shares
he thought he had purchased from Mr. Heaton, but
up to the present time he had not been able to g the
proper transfer from him, although it had been made in
the Company's books, and he had been called upon to pay
the calls. The defendant had threatened to sell the shares,
to restrain him from which the Bill was filed, and the
present application made.

His HoNoutt, considering the case called for the in-
terference of the Court, granted the injunction.

AIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.)
This being the first day of Term, his Lordship did not
take his sect upon the Bench until half-past one o'clock.

FLOWER V. ADAMS.

This was an action which had been tried before
the Recorder of Wells, for work and labour done,
and a verdict had been returned for the plain-
tiff for 91. 10s., the whole amount claimed. The
plainriff was a common farrier, and the particu-
lars of the claim consisted of several items. Four or
five of these items only, which did not amount nearly to
half the bill were proved, and the Recorder told the
Jury that they could not find a verdict for more than
the amount of the items proved. After a short con-
sultation the Foreman of the Jury asked the
Learned Recorder if they could not give a verdict
for the items which were not proved, to which the Re-
corder replied, certainly not; whereupon the Jury turned
round in their box, and almost immediately after re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff for the whole amount
claimed, saying that it was the only remedy tradesmen
had for the recovery of their debts. Under these cir-
cumstances application was made to the Court this day
for a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why a
new trial should not be had, and why the amount of da-
mages should not be reduced.—Rule granted.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY

(Sittings at Nisi Prius.)
PHILIPS V. HEATH.

• This Action was tried before Mr. Baron Gurney, at
the Sittings in London after last Term, when a verdict
was found for the defendant.

I Mr. CRESSWELL now moved for a rule nisi, to set
that verdict aside, and for a new trial. The defendants
were large merchants in the City, who bad advanced
14,4001. to Messrs. Warwick and Claggett, upon
the deposit of some Virginia Bonds. Afterwards the
•security was changed, the Bonds were taken back, and
Warrants for some tobacco were pledged—that tobacco
Was the property of the plaintiff, and had been con-
signed to Warwick and Claggett, and the Learned Gen-
tleman contended that•theyhad no right to deal with it
as they had done.—Rule granted.

THE GREAT ANTI-CORN LAW
DINNER AT MANCHESTER.

The expenses that must necessarily be incurred in
erecting and decorating the Pavilion in which the fes-
tival is to he held, will absorb the entire amount re-
ceived for the tickets; in other words, will cast upward-
of 1,0001. So that the whole expense of the dinner
will have to be defrayed out of the funds of the Asso-
ciation, c,ud which are well known not to be in the
most flourishing state. The Committee, however, is
composed of men not to 'be daunted with trifles. In
the erection of the Pavilion it will consume more than
12,000 cubic feet of timber. In the decoration it will
require at least 1,000 pieces of white and pink calico,
or 23,000 yards.

It is now lit up with 24 candelabra, each containing
12 lights, making 280 hat-wing gas lights.
It is now so far completed as to justify the Committee
in announcing that on Saturday next the public will be
admitted to view it on payment of sixpence admission.
A large sum is expected to be realised from this source.
The Bill of Fare for the first day will be :-20 sal-
mon, 100 lobsters, rounds and ribs of beef 2,500 lbs.,
hams 1,520 ; 165 tongues, 800 lbs. ; legs of mutton,
240 lbs. ; veal pies, 2,200 lbs.; mince ditto, 500 lbs. ;
bread, 4,000 lbs. ; 600 Scotch buns ; 40 turkeys and
capons. Dessert-6 barrels American apples ; 6 ditto
grapes ; 6 chests oranges ;34 boxes raisins ; 400 lbs.
sponge cake ; 400 lbs. American dried biscuits ; 400 lbs.
wine biscuits ; 3 boxes almonds ; 2 ditto dates ; 12 do.
French plums.
