VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT,
NORTH WALES RAILWAY COMPANY v. ARCHER.
I'ORTDYNLLANN HARBOUR.
This case, which has excited considerable interest, has boon decided
in favour of the defendant, counsel on behalt of the Company having
mentioned to the Court on Saturday last that they would consent to
thealllaoiwntifts , injunction to be dissolved. By this move on the part of the
any expression of opinion by the Court upon the
coaductP of the parties will, be avoided. It will be
recollected, that aiter the defendant's counsel had addressed
the Court In support of the motion to dissolve the injunction, the
matter stood over in consequence of the Vice-Chancellor desiring to
see a case that the plaintiffs thought proper to keep back from him
when they applied for their injunction, and which it appears by the
defendant's answer was laid before Mr. Lloyd, the barrister, on his
behalf, in March last, by Mr. David Williams, the solicitor ot
the Company, and in which it was expressly stated that the har-
bour of Portdynllaen was purchased by the defendant for himself,
while no mention, or reference of any kind, Was made therein to the
North Wales Railway Company, nor was anything stated that could
be strained to justify their recent attempt is claim the benefit of the
purchase, and which it appears, moreover, was made some months
before tke Company Was thought of or formed.

EXTENSIVE SLIP OF EARTH. WORK ON THE GREAT
WESTERN RAILWAY.—A large slip of an embankment supporting
the down rail ofthe Great Western Railway, occurred on Saturday night
last. The heavy rains which have fallen for some weeks past_ have
produced a prejudicial effect upon the earth-works of the line, and has
Ito doubt rendered them at many points less assure. The slip oc-
curred between seven and eight o'clock on Saturday night, not
very long before the six o'clock up-train from Bristol was due. The
embankment gave way ter a considerable distance, and slipped from
under the up-rail, which was left supported only by some of the
wood-work. A number of mesa are engaged in repairing the damage,
and it is expected it will cost the company above 1,0001.
