SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.
(Before ➢Zr. Secondary Jam Es.)
HOUSMAN V. RICHARDSON.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of 121.105.
for wages. The defendant suffered judgment to go by default.
Mr. ASHLEY, the plaintiff's solicitor, stated the case. The
plaintiff had been engaged as secretary and clerk to a pro-
jected company, of which the defendant was a director,
called the Rock Steam Mining Company. The company was
'formed in 1844, but only existed a few months. The plaintiff
claimed for one quarter's salary, at 50/. per year. He would
call one of the other directors to prove the engagement and
terms.

Mr. John Pym was 'called, and submitted that be was no
bound to give evidence, as he might involve himself in Ea.
bilities.

The SECONDARY considered he was bound to be sworn,
but need not answer questions rendering himself liable. The
witness then distinctly proved the engagement of the plain-
tiff and his services. Defendant was one of the directors. He
declined to produce the minutes, and the Secondary did not
consider it necessary. Plaintiff was only engaged about an
hour or two one day a week ; it was agreed that the salary
should be 501. a year, to be increased if the concern prospered.
It was to raise tin from amongst the rocks.
Mr. WILKLNSON, fur the defendant, proceeded to cross-
examine the witness as to whether plaintiff had not been
paid since the action was brought, but
The SECONDARY said that the defendant having suffered
judgment to go by default, he could not give evidence ,of
payment. He would gladly assist in such an inquiry if he
could, as he had no doubt in many cases actions were going
on against five or six different parties.
Mr. ASHLEY said it was not so in this case ; the plaintiff
had received a bill which was dishonoured, and ample notice
was given to Mr. Richardson that the amount could not be
recovered from the other parties, and that the writ must be
executed unless the action was settled.
The jury, therefore, gave a verdict for the amount clainrd.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Room B.

The Committee met this morning at eleven, the Earl of
Lonsdale in the chair.
ZEICESTER AND MEDFORD.

Some formal evidence from the land valuers closed the
case for the promoters of the line.
The CHAIRMAN intimated to counsel, that evidence had
not been laid before the Committee to show that there
would be sufficient passenger and particular traffic to support
the line.

Mr. PAGET said he had only abstained from calling evi-
dence more in detail, that he might save the time of the
Committee.

He then proceeded to call
Mr. Robert Smith, who said he had taken the number, of
passengers from London to Derby, who would travel by the
Bedford and Leicester Railway as the shortest route, and
found it to be 606,000 of the first class, and 728,500 of the
second class. The witness produced detailed tables of traffic
of persons, horses, and carriages, and agricultural produce,
which were put in and proved by other witnesses.
