RAILWAY COMMITTEE

(YESTERDAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
GROUP I,
LONDON AND YORK (THE EASTERN
COUNTXES).
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
A few witnesses were then called to prove the value of the
property proposed to be taken by the Eastern Counties line.
This closed the case for the promoters of the line.
Mr. Calvert, Mr. Brent, and Mr. Spooner, were heard for
the landowners against the Eastern Counties.
No witnesses were called in support of the case.
Mr. BAINES was then heard on behalf of the Cambridge
and Lincoln Extension line. The Learned Counsel, in an able
address, sought to impress upon the Committee the supe-
riority of the line over that proposed by
the Eastern
Counties or the London and York Companies.
At the conclusion of the Learned Counsel's speech, the
Committee adjourned till eleven o'clock to-morrow.

nian Extension, in its original form, to lease it at a rate
of not less than 4 per cent. on the whole capital. But the
original plan having been altered on account of the
eastern portion of the Caledonian Extension being re-
jected by the Standing Orders' Committee, the matter
assumed a new form. It had not yet been fully consi-
dered by the directors of the Caledonian Company, and it
could not be decided without full communication with the
' shareholders. Yet, inasmuch as the western portion of
the Caledonian Extension, which was retained, was the
most favourable portion of the scheme, if the Bill for it
was obtained, it would come before the shareholders of
the Caledonian Company, when there was no doubt they
would see at once the propriety of leasing it.--(Hear.)
Mr. BUCKLEY said he was a holder in this Company
of shares which he purchased for investment, and not for
speculation. Had he sold out last year and bought in
now he might have cleared 1,5001. by the transaction;
still he preferred to hold on, and would continue to do
so, as he believed it would yet turn out one of the best
paying lines in the United Kingdom. If they only
waited till the line was opened, he was sure they would
obtain 50 per cent. on their shares over the original
price.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted he would live to see
the shares at a good premium, and if the directors
could only be persuaded to give a small interest on the
capital paid up, as was done by some other companies,
say even 3 per cent , it would be of great importance,
and give vigour to the whole Company.
A SHAREHOLDER inquired when it was likely the line
would be opened ?
The CHAIRMAN believed that the line would be opened
throughout early in the year 1848. A portion of the
line, however, to the extent of 80 miles, he hoped
would be open next summer, about the Ist of July.
Mr. BUCKLEY trusted the directors would arrange
the calls so as to press as light as possible on the share-
holders. _ _ _ _

The CHAIRMAN—We have already 151. per share paid
up. When 251. is paid we can then proceed upon the
powers of our Act of Parliament to borrow money, and
you may rest assured we will take care to press you as
little as possible.
Mr. P. M. STEWART, M.P., said, as he held a consi-
derable stake in the Caledonian Company, he could not
resist saying a few words in reference to the decision
which had just been recorded against it by a Committee
of the House of Commons—a decision so contrary to
justice, and to the determination come to last ses-
sion of Parliament, that he was quite sure
they would yet find redress in the House of Commons
itself. If there was any faith to be placed in the deci-
sions of Parliament, if there was any trust to be re-
posed in the Legislative body, the matter must end in
favour of the Caledonian Company, which had been
sanctioned by Parliament, after passing through a rigid
ordeal of ten years. [le maintained that on the faith of
Parliament the Caledonian Company had proceeded to
execute their works; yet now they found a competing
line, which last year had been tried and found want-
ing, let loose upon them. There would be an end
to all confidence in Parliament if it sanctioned
this most unjust and untoward proceeding. According
to the usage of Parliament, it was required that when a
report is brought up from a Committee a day is fixed for
its consideration ; when that came on, all he would say
was, that if the House of Commons confirmed that re-
port, it would create the feeling in the country that pro-
perty was not safe while Parliament was sitting.—(Hear,
hear.) But there was another tribunal to which it
would have to go, and where he was sure a Duke and
one or two Marquises would find no favour beyond their
intrinsic worth.—(Hear.) He could say both the London
and Birmingham and the Grand Junction Railway Compa-
nies felt the liveliest interest in these proceedings, and he
had no doubt they would yet bring matters to a favour-
able issue. He thought it his duty to say so much, and
he assured them he would do what he could to sustain
the Caledonian scheme before the House in its original
integrity. At present they were labouring under this
unfavourable decision, but such had been the unac
countable want of business conduct on the part of the
gentlemen who composed the Committee, that he would
be much surprised indeed if they (the Company) yet
did not get justice done.—(Cheers.)
Mr. VANDERWALL recalled the attention of the meet-
ing to the question of interest on the deposits.
Mr. HODGSON, M.P., said the meeting was not com-
petent to entertain that question to-day. Under present
circumstances considerable advantage might result from
an arrangement for the payment of interest, and there-
fore he did not object to it. He had formerly thought
such a course was not advisable, but as many other
Companies had acted upon this plan he would not oppose
it, and it would no doubt receive the attentive considera-
tion of the Committee. With regard to the Glasgow
and Dumfries scheme, it would be found that the ques-
tion had been decided by the Committee on the
question of its local merits, and independent of
the consideration of its being an independent
competing trunk line with the Caledonian. If so,
then it was a clear question for the House of Com-
mons at large to enter upon. He hoped the subject
would be brought fully and fairly before Parliament,
in order to see whether they who sanctioned the Cale-
donian line last year would allow another com-
peting trunk line to be constructed against it now.
The CHAIRMAN then took the vote of the meeting on
the whole of the Bills submitted, which was as follows:
Scrip represented at the meeting--
Assents
Dissents
Neuter
The CHAIRMAN declared that this concluded the busi-
ness of the meeting.
Mr. BUCKLEY moved a vote of thanks to the Chair-
man for his great attention to the interests of the Com-
pany and his conduct that day.
Mr. ASTON seconded the motion, which was put and
carried by acclamation.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks for the manifesta-
tion of feeling just shown, and said nothing would so
much encourage him to labour in their behalf as the
consciousness that he possessed the confidence of such a
body.
The meeting then separated.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of June 2.)
SUGAR.—To-day the British Plantation Sugar market
was cleared, but business will be resumed to-morrow. A
fair quantity is declared for public sale.
REFINED.—The home trade have purchased all descriptions
of refined goods with caution since last Tuesday. Although
there are sellers upon lower terms, the market is better sup-
plied as the refiners continue to work freely. Pieces have
been sparingly dealt in, and lower rates are taken. For Bas-
tards rather lower rates having been taken occasioned large
parcels to be disposed of. For Treacle the demand is brisk,
but the supply is small of all kinds ; prices in consequence
rule high. _ _ _ _

MAtanius.—There has been little business transacted by
private treaty in refining or grocery descriptions, and 9,286
bags and casks at auction did not generally bring previous
prices, but the whole found buyers.
EAST INDlA.—Although there are sellers of all descriptions
of Bengal by private treaty rather under previous rates, still
little business has been transacted, and none has been brought
to public sale. All Foreign East India sorts are still wanted,
and the supply continuing to be small, prices still rule high.
Manilla has been disposed of to a very fair extent privately.
FOREIGN.—To-day several inquirics existed for nearly all
descriptions of Foreign Sugar, but holders insisting upon
stiffer rates, business of moment was prevented privately;
and only 100 cases of brown Maceio were sold for arrival at
18s. per cwt. None was offered at public sale ; but sonic
parcels are declared. _ _

TEA.—None has again been offered public sale, but the
market has assumed a dull appearance, and in some cases
rather lower rates have been accepted for black, but green is
held for the former currency. The value of common Congou
is 91 to W, and good common 10d per lb, cash. Hyson of
low quality is not to be had under 2s, and Twankay of low
and fair yellowish leaf quality is held for is to is 2d per lb.
lloLAssEs.—All kinds of West India have been much
in demand, and advanced rates are again paid. The total
quantity sold has been 600 puns Trinidad of fine quality at
255, St. Vincents 26a 6d to 275, old Grenada 21s 6d : the
supply is nr.t ample for the demand.—Bengal Treacle has
been in good request, and prices are still rising, fine bringing
21s 6d to 225. Honey of common quality is still much in
demand, and fetch full rates, that is to say—the sorts from
20s to 355, but the latter kinds are not much in demand.
COFFEE.—Although there are sellers of the lower descrip-
tions of West India by private treaty rater under previous
rates, still the business transacted has been trifling, and of
such there is a fair supply—the mid and superior sorts are
however wanted, and in consequence of the small stock,
buyers are compelled to give previous rates. None
has again been offered at auction • arrivals continue
small, the stock is less than it was last year, and prices
are lower, but the deliveries continue on a small scale only.
That the importation will be even deficient to that of the former
season there can be no doubt. East India Coffee adapted for
home consumption being still plentiful, a further fall in the
value has ensued, but export sorts being brought sparingly
to market we have little variation to record in prices, but
there is a want of demand.

RUM, BRANDY. AND HOLLANDS.—Leeward Island Rum
has been in excellent request, and in consequence of the li-
mited supply at market, buyers have been compelled to pay
further advanced rates. A large business would have been
done bad the market been better supplied. Calcutta has
been purchased with increased freedom, and prices are on the
advance, 500 casks having been sold at Is 9d to Is 10d proof
with certificate—at which holders are firm. No advance
has taken place in the value of Jamaica, the market
having been well supplied. But the operations are upon
a more extended scale in all sorts, and the quantity
sold has been 250 puncheons, at former rates. The at,
rivals of Rum have been small since this day week,
whereas the home and export deliveries keep good. The
purchases made in all kinds of Brandy have been extremely
limited by exporters and the home trade, and it is difficult
to quote prices with accuracy. The demand for British Corn
Spirits is dull, but prices keep at lOs 6d for English nett
cash ; 103 4d to 103 5d for Irish and Scotch. English Gin
22 per cent under proof 8s 10d, and 17 under 9s 4d.

market has a dull appearance, and prices looking down ;
the quantity declared for auction is very large, amounting to
nearly 8,000 chests. The inferior sorts of Ceylon Cinnamon

OiLs.—lmporters of Southern Oil are still willing sellers,
there having been further arrivals, and they have accepted
prices rather under those that previously prevailed ; there
has, however, been a good business transacted by private
treaty. Sea Elephant Oil has fallen in value. Cod
is little wanted, and there are sellers upon rather lower
terms, but only small parcels have been disposed of privately
at 281. The stock is still light, and held by few parties.
For Seal Oil previous rates are insisted upon, but all kinds
have been sparingly dealt in by exporters and the home trade.
There being sellers of Sperm upon previous reduced terms,
occasioned a good business to be transacted privately.
Prices of every sort of Fish Oil are still under those of last
year at this time. Cocoa Nut has been purchased with more
freedom, and full rates are given. Palm has been in excellent
demand, and former prices are well maintained ; the supply at
market not being large, several parcels have been sold pri-
vately. These are few purchasers of Rape Seed Oil to be met
with, although Pale can be obtained at 33s 6d to 345, and
brown at 32s 6d to 33s per cwt the market is still well sup-
plied ; in Foreign Brown there is, however, still a good busi-
ness doing at 32s to 32s 6d. For Olive the demand is still
limited for all purposes, although there are sellers at moderate
rates. Of Linseed Oil large parcels have been disposed of on
the spot, in consequence of the reduced rates of 24s to 24s 3d
being taken.

LAW IN TELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 2.
(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court at its sitting delivered some judgments ;
but they were devoid of any special interest calling for
a particular report.
The Court then proceeded to hear arguments upon
demurrers which stood over for discussion.

WHITTAKER v. RICHARDS.
This was an action of assumpsit, involving several
breaches of the covenants of an agreement, and was in-
teresting as a question often arising between landlord and
tenant. It now came before the Court in the shape of a
special demurrer, assuming the character and form of a
general demurrer set up by the defendant to the plain-
tiff's delaration. It appeared that a gentleman named
Jones leased for a term of years certain premises at
Highgate to the plaintiff in this action, Mr. Whittaker,
a solicitor in Lincoln's Inn, and that there were several
covenants in the lease binding plaintiff, and amongst
them one to keep the premises in a state of re-
pair during the term of his holding. Plaintiff sublet
the premises to the defendant for a term of two years,
short of one day ; and the defendant in the agreement
was alleged to have bound himself to the performance on
his part of " all the covenants" in the original agree-
ment between plaintiff and Mr. Jones. Plaintiff's de-
claration pleaded that defendant had thus bound himself
to keep the premises in repair, and that not merely for
the term of his taking, but for the larger term of seven
years, fur which plaintiff was bound to keep them in re-
pair. To this the plaintiff demurred, and the case now
came on to be argued.
Mr. PEACOCK appeared for the plaintiff, and con-
tended for the larger construction, maintaining that the
defendant had made himself liable, upon strict investiga-
tion of the agreement, to keep the promises in repair for
the term of the plaintiff's holding the agreement showing
that he had bound himself to take the premises, subject
to all the covenants in the original lease.
Mr. BURNI, for the defendant, held the contrary; and
submitted that the plaintiff's declaration was ambiguous;
that it would be absurd to suppose that the defendant
would for a moment bind himself to the fulfilment of
" all the covenants" in the original lease; as, for in-
stance, the covenant binding plaintiff to pay his rent.
Surely the Court would not for a moment suppose that
the defendant would bind himself to that
covenant ? Looking, then, at the case altogether, he
(►Mr. Burni) submitted to the Court that the construc-
tion of the agreement was limited, the defendant intend-
ing the narrower construction of two years when he took
the premises; that the plaintiff's declaration was bad,
and that the judgment should be for the defendant.
The Court conferred together for some time, and de-
livered judgment in favour of the plaintiff, the Learned
Judges respectively h-olding that, in the terms of the
agreement, the defendant had put himself in the position
of the plaintiff respecting the repairs, and bound himself
to the covenants for plaintiff's term, it appearing to the
Court that he took the premises with that understanding

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
THE FORGERY OF THE BUCKINGHAMSHIRE RAILWAY
AND OXFORD AND BLETCULEY SCRlP.—Yesterday, the
same degree of interest which was manifested on the
first examination of Faulkner and Fabian, the persons
who stand charged with the forging of the scrip
of the Buckinghamshire Railway, and Oxford and
Bletchley Junction Company, displayed itself in the
justice room at the more detailed investigation.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, under-
taken by Mr. Solomons against the prisoners, for the
forgery of scrip to the amount of 500/ ; and Mr. Ballan-
tine and Mr. Doane attended for the prisoners. Alder-
man Gibbs presided.
Mr. W. Harding, secretary to the Company, was the
first witness called by the Counsel for the prosecution.
He stated that the offices of the Company were in
George-street, Westminster. He ordered the scrip
from for the Company, under the direction of the
Board of Management, and Messrs. Smith and Ebbs, of
Tower-hill, were the only persons who executed the
printing of the scrip. (Here a genuine scrip form was
identified by the witness.) He had the counterfeit of the
scrip produced. The numbers were noted by the clerks
and signed by him, and the issue commenced in October.
(A quantity of what appeared to be copies of the genuine
scrip was then produced.) He believed the forms pro-
duced to be spurious. He had signed all the genuine
scrip, and the forgeries were skilful copies of his writing,
and had all the characteristics of the genuine vouchers.
The good and the fictitious were not printed at the same
time.

The genuine and the forged documents were then ex-
amined by Alderman Gibbs. The following is a copy
of one of the forged scrip :-
1845.
(Scrip.)
Buckingham Railway, and Oxford, and Bletchley
Junction.
Provisionally Registered.
Capital, 2,250,0001. in shares of 201. each.
Deposit, 21. 2s. per share.
No. 70,401 to 70,450.
The holder of this voucher is entitled to 50 shares in
the above undertaking, he having signed the subscribers,
agreement and Parliamentary contract, paid tht deposit
as above, and agreed to pay all calls in respect of the
said shares.
By order ofthe Provisional Committee of Management,
W. HARDING.
The difference between the copy produced and the
genuine scrip was not perceptible to an ordinary ob-
server, so that the witness appeared to test the quality
of the documents by a comparison with the counterfoil.
In his cross-examination by Mr. Ballantine, who did
not consider it necessary to go strictly into the question
on the present stage of the proceedings, Mr. Harding
said that the company had not yet obtained its Act of
Parliament, and there were no certificates commonly
called shares. The scrip, without the signature of the
party to whom the allotment was made to the deed,
would intitle the party to nothing. It was the signa-
ture to the deed that intitled the party to the shares.
In re-examination by Mr. Clarkson, the witness said the
Company was provisionally registered, according to the
late Act of Parliament. There had been no scrip
issued to so high a number as 70,000 by the Company.
Mr. Ballantine professed the utmost indifference as to
the name which the pieces of paper produced might be
called, whether they were d.signated as receipts, or
vouchers, or warrants. He thought it would be a very
difficult matter to prove that they are instruments of
any value at all.—(A laugh.)
Mr. Charles Moody, lithographer, of High Holborn,
was next called. He stated that about two months ago,
in consequence of an advertisement which appeared in
the Times newspaper, addressed to lithographers, he
went to No. 42, Gower-place, and there saw the prisoner
Fabian, and another gentleman. Fabian said they were
in want of a competent lithographic printer, and one who
had a press of a size which he mentioned. Witness said
he had been many years a lithographic printer, and was
competent to undertake anything relating to lithography.
Fabian was the person who spoke to him most. That
prisoner said he wanted some impressions to be worked
from plates which he 'shad, and he wanted them to be
worked under his own eye. Witness intimated that of
course they would want an experienced person to litho-
graph. Fabian said No, they laid their own plans.
The other gentleman, who was lying on a sofa smoking
a cigar, said but little. Witness did not recognise him
in the justice room. They said they wished the work
done there, and witness told them if the work was of
such consequence they could have a room in his house,
and they would keep the key, and he would forfeit 501.
as compensation if anything was injured or touched. He
was induced to make the proposition because they ap-
peared to consider the matter to be of great consequence,
and that not one was to be parted with or seen. They
stated that they wished the work to be done while they
were personally present, and each would be worth 501.
They asked what the expense might be, to which witness
replied, that he did not really know, but that his time
was valuable, and he expected an adequate recompense,
and they then said that the expense did not signify.
They added that they were glad the suggestion had been
made as to the room with the press in it, and they
promised to call next morning, but they did not keep
their word.
Mr. Ballantine (pointing to the forged scrip)—ls that
lithographic printing ? Witness—l cannot say whether
it is or not. My impression is that it is not letter-press,
but it is from stone or a zinc plate.
Alderman Gznns—l should have supposed it was
letterpress. Witness—l do not think it is.
Mr. Clarkson said he should next produce a witness,
who would testify as to a transaction in Buckingham-
shire shares, with Faulkner only.
Mr. John Benton, speculator or jobber in railway
shares, stated that he knew Faulkner, and received from
him 250 Buckinghamshire, &c. scrip, in February or
March, to raise a certain sum of meney upon. He could
not say whether Fabian was present at the time, but he
thought it was from Faulkner's hand he received the
scrip. He had no doubt, whatever, that he received it
from Faulkner. It must have been some days previously
to the 17th of March. (Witness here specified the num-
bers of the 250 scrip stated in this case to be forged.)
He parted with the scrip to Mr. John Henry Morgan,
he thought, on the same day. He raised, he thought,
2501. upon it, and paid that sum to Faulkner and Fabian.
One receipt he received from Faulkner, and the other
from Faulkner and Fabian's clerk, ma of whom acted
in the transaction. He was nearly sure that he paid
150/. to Faulkner ; and, he believed,• the receipt pro-
duced, was in Faulkner's hand-writing.
Mr. John Henry Morgan stated that he was a share-
jobber. He received 250 shares from Mr. Benton on
the 13th of' March, and he sold them the same day to
two different stockbrokers. He paid the money he re-
ceived also on the same day.
Mr. Thomas Green, share agent, of No. 16, Old Broad-
street. a partner in the house of Jones, Cook, and Green,
stated, on the 13th March he received 150 shares from
Mr. Morgan for sale, after the Stock Exchange had
closed. He paid for 100 of those shares, deducting
commission, 1471. los. to Mr. Morgan in Bank
and soon afterwards he paid to him for the other
notes,
other 50
shares, 731. 155., deducting commission. The scrip was
delivered over to Mr. Lamond.
here the witness submitted that perhaps the evidence
into which the examination was
calculated to lead him
would be prejudicial to his firm in an action depending
between Mr. Lamond and them for a considerable
amount. He thought that probably he might be making
out the case of the adverse party, but if public justice
required it, he should not hesitate to proceed with his
testimony.
Mr. Clarkson here called Mr. Henry Martin, clerk to
Mr. Solomons, the prosecutor.
This witness stated in substance what was deposed
by Mr. Solomons on the first examination, relative to
y
the introduction of Mr. Fabian to him by Mr. Richards,
for the purpose of borrowing money
on the Bucktng-
inghamshire scrip. Mr. Richards, he said, was praising
the Buckingham scrip during
the whole period of the
negotiation, and so was Mr. Fabian, but not so much as
Richards praised it. From the whole of Fabian's con-
