LIVERPOOL, MANCHESTER, and NEW-
CASTLE-UPON-TYNE JUNCTION RAILWAY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SUN."
Sra,—Observing in the " Times" newspaper of this day a list of the
several railway schemes that have failed to deposit their plans ;&c.,
necessary to comply with the standing orders of Parliament, and
which are, therefore, not in a position to proceed to Parliament at
the ensuing session, I find that there is one inserted, and called the
" Manchester, Liverpool, and Newcastle Junction."
As it ls very probable that this may be taken for this undertaking,
and in that case it will necessarily cause great alarm amongst the
Shareholders and other persons interested in the project, I shall feel
greatly obliged if you will have the goodness in the City article of
your paper of this day, or in some other prominent part,
to state that if the project, as inserted in the " Times,"
be intended for the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newc-
astle-upon-Tyne Junction Railway Company, it is an error,
as all the documents requisite to comply with the Standing Orders of
Parliament were duly deposited, relating to that undertaking, and the
notices on landowners, &c., served in proper time.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
W. 11. INGRAM, Secretary.
22, Parliament-street, London, January 14, 1846.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
The proceedings in this Court to-day were dull and
tedious, and not of the least interest to any one but the
parties concerned.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)

CHIN. CON.—CLARKE V. DIINSFORD.
Sir THOMAS WILDE moved for a rule to set aside
a verdict for the plaintiff; given in last term, for
an action brought against the defendant, for criminal
conversation with the wife of the former, and to enter a
new suit ; or if not, to set aside the verdict, and grant
a new trial. The ground on which he made the applica-
tion was, that the plaintiff had undertaken to give ma-
terial evidence against the defendant in the county of
Middlesex, but which did not appear to have been the
case. Evidence had been given to prove that the offence
alleged had been committed in two places ; at the house
of the plaintiff, and at a lodging-house in Bath ; and the
general nature of the evidence was to the following
effect, as far as the Bath part of the case was concerned,
which was that alone necessary to refer to now. It was
proved that Mr. Dunsford had called at a house in
Bath under the name of Lyde, requesting lodgings
He saw Miss Withers, the sister of Mrs. Needs, the
housekeeper, who was absent. He stated that he had
just been privately married and was going to bring his
wife to Bath for a short time so that he wanted quiet
lodgings. Miss Withers said she could not give any
answer herself. but he'was requested to call again. In a
day or two a letter came addressed from Swindon, in
which he gave his name as Lyde and directed a note
about the lodgings to be addressed to him at the British
and Foreign Institute Hotel, George-street, Hanover-
square, London. When Mrs. Needs came home a letter
was sent to the above address accepting the offer about
the lodgings, and he arrived in a few days and took pos-
session. He continued several days and slept there,
though the lady, who called nearly every morning and
stayed for several hours, did not. Now the material
question raised by the present application was,
whether that letter was in any respect either
material to the establishment of the offence
to be proved or the assessment of damages. bee thought
decidedly not. Strike the letter out, and the case would
be as complete as it was now. Other letters, addressed
in the name of Lyde, :had been identified as the de-
fendant's. The servants at the house in Bath, as well
as Miss Withers and Mrs. Weeks, had identified him, as
well as the lady, and both had been proved respectively
to be Mr. Dunsford and Mrs. Clarke. Nothing, there-
fore, could be added by the letter, or abstracted by its
withdrawal. On these grounds he submitted that the
plaintiff had not succeeded in making use of this letter of
Mrs. Needs, addressed to him, and supposed to be received
at the British and Foreign Institute, and in fact the only
evidence relating to Middlesex material to the case. For
these reasons he considered the application should be
granted.
After a long argument, of which the foregoing is the
substance, their Lordships deferred their answer till to-
morrow.
