QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.

WOOD V. TILE EARL OF PORTAILINOTON.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL applied to the Court in this case, which
was an application to strike an attorney off the roll, and which had
been referred to the Master, for a rule to the effect that It be an in-
struction to the Master to examine witnesses in the case rice roce.
He hoped his Learned Friend the Attorney-General had no objection
to this course.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that indeed he had. He objected to
the course upon the ground that the application was not made at the
time it was agreed upon to refer the case to the Master, at which
time it was understood that the case was to go through the usual
course ; and it would be extremely inconvenient to adopt any other
now.

Lord DENMAN said he quite agreed with the Attorney-General
they were talking about their business, not doing it.—(Laughter.)

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)

SCOTT V. JONES.

The plaintiff in this action is a livery-stable keeper, and the defen-
dant is a stationer in Curzon-street, Mayfair. The claim was fur
141. 15s. for horse hire, &c.
The defendant pleaded minority.
Witnesses were called who proved the daily hiring of a saddle-
horse, and, occasiomally, of a horse and gig, by defendant. The
fair charge per month for a saddle-horse, as agreed to by defendant was
eight guineas, and from 10e. to 18s. a day for a horse and gig, accord-
ing to the time it was out.
On the part of the defendant his mother was called, to prove that
he was only 20 in February last. She said that she had had a
certificate, and knew the date from that, but she had not got it now.
On being cross-examined, she prevaricated in a most extraordinary
manner.

The plaintiff's Counsel said he thought the jury would be satis-
fied without his addressing them, for it would be painlid for him to
make, and them to hear, the comments he should feel it his duty to
make.

The SECONDARY said the evidence had been given in a very un-
satisfactory manner to him ; but he thought that it must, on a point
of lei', be rejected altogether, as the witness had stated that her
memory had been brought to the point by a document which she
had not now got.
The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 141.

SOUTH MIDLAND (NORTHAMPTON TO

HEDPORD).
The evidence on traffic was proceeded with WS morning.
Mr. Raikes Currie, M.P. for Northampton, and Mr. Jay, an ac-
countant in the City, corroborated the evidence of Mr. Vernon Smith
and the other witnesses who were examined yesterday. They were
of opinion that the proposed railway would be of Incalculable advan-
tage to Northampton, whose population and trade were gradually
increasing. Tte latter gentleman described the present traffic to
amount to 23,9001., and detailed the estimated number of passen-
gers, &c., anticipated from the present railway.
After a long discussion about the traffic tables, and the giving of
further evidence, the Committee decided that they would not call
upon Mr. Flood or Mr. Mellor to cross-examine the last witnesses
before they examined the tables, and Mr. Austin was left to his own
discretion as to whether he would examine any other witnesses as
to traffic.
Mr. Joseph Stockburn, a draper fir thirty years at Kettering, was
then examined as to the traffic at that place. He stated that the
inhabitants of Kettering were favourable to the project, and that it
would be of great advantage to them.
The Committee adjourned at four o'clock till twelve o'clock to-
morrow.

C committee of Selection to fix the first sitting of the Guildford,
Chichester, and Portsmouth Railway (No. 2) Committee for
Friday, the 6th day of May, and that it b • referred to the Chair-
man of Ways anti Means, and two other Members, not being
those who were ordered to bring in the Bill.—Agreed to.
Mr. FORBES presented a petition, praying the House not
to interfere with the spiritual independence of the Church of
Scotland.

CHANNEL ISLANDS.

In reply to a question from Mr. ROEBUCK
Sir J. GRAHAM said that a commission had been issued for
the purpose of making inquiries into the administration of
law in the Channel Islands, and that he should have no objec-
tion to lay the Commissioners' report upon the table of the
House.

Dr. BOWRING said there was another island to which he
wished to call the attention of the Right Hon. Baronet, and
he wi,hed to know whether he was prepared to do the same
thing with regard to the Isle of Man?
Sir JAMES GRAHAM.—No.
Mr. AGLIONBY said that in the absence of the Hon.
Member for Liskeard (Mr. C. Bu ler), he would give notice
that that Hon. Member would, on Thursday fortnight, move
for copies of correspondence relating to New Zealand.

THE NELSON MONUMENT.
Mr. J. COLLETT said he asked a question in the early
part of the ses-ion of the Noble Lord opposite relative to ;he
state of the Neson monument, and when it was likely to be
finished, and he was then told that a satifactory answer might
be expected in about three months. Since that period three
months and a half had elapied, but the boarding of the
monument still remained in the same state.

The Earl et LINCOLN answered the question in so low a
tone as •to be scarcely audible in the gallery ; but he was u der-
stood to say, that at the time he gave the answer alluded to, he
did expect a satisfactory answer to the question would be given
at the time stated, but since then he had not been able to a:-
certain what had been done; but he had reason to expect
that the work would have been completed within the time
stated.

GROUP V.

—__ ..
This Committee met to-clay at half-past twelve o'clock, Colonel
Fox in the chair.

POUT'S AND CLYDE =NOTION.

————
This, the last Bill in the group, was taken up this morning.
There is no opposition to the scheme, the object of which is to con-
nect the east and west of Scotland in a diagonal direction to the
north of Glasgow.
Mr. Lowe appeared for the promoters of this line, which he stated
commenced at the Stirling terminus of the Scottish Central Railway,
and proceeded up the valley of the Forth, crossing over in the dine-
tibia of killearn and Drymen, and terminating at Alexandria, in the
valley of the Leven, near to the point from whence the river issues
from Lochlomond. The line was 30% miles in length, and presented
no engineering difficulties, the curves and gradients being generally
of a favourable character. It would be of great service In supplying
a very important and improving district of country with coal and lime,
and taking their produce to profitable markets, while it would, from the
fine scenery at its western terminus, in the neighbourhood of Lochlo•
mond, be attractive to tourists. There was only one tunnel 240 yards
ong. The steepest gradient on the main line was one in 100 ; on the
branch of the main line one in 93. The shortest radius of a curve
two furlongs. The estimated expense of the whole line was 350,0001.
Evidence was then taken in support of the statement Of counsel,
when fife Committee declared the preamble to be proved.
The clauses were then gone through, and agreed to, when the
Committee adjonrned.

GROUP VI.
• DUNDEZ AND PZETN.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
The Secretary, having returned from the House of Lords, informed
the Committee that the clause in question would be struck out of the
Bill wh4ii it reached the Lords.
Mr. Sergeant MIIIIPIIY proposed another clause to the same effect,
which wont,' avoid the technical objection that might be raised in the
Lords.—The clause was agreed to.
The postponed clauses of the Bill were then gone through, and
unanimously agreed to.
The Committee then adjourned until Monday.

THE CORN-LAWS.

PROTEST AGAINST THE THIRD READING OF A
BILL "TO AMEND THE LAWS RELATING TO
THE IMPORTATION OF CORN."
DISSENTIENT, _ _

Because the Bill for repealing the corn-laws is not ac-
companied, as in justice it ought to have been, by the follow-

measures, viz. :-
1. The entire and immediate repeal of all the taxes which
fall directly upon land—the land tax, the malt tax, and the
hop duty.
2. The equalisation of all the rates of which the occupiers
of land bear at present an unfair and undue proportion—the
poor rates, the highway rates, and the county rates.
3. An alteration of the Tithe Commutation Act, which
can no longer be just or applicable.
4. A legislative enactment authorising all persons who
hold leases of land for unexpired terms of years to surrender
them on giving six months' notice before any of the usual
days of payment.
5. A legislative enactment directing the payment stipu-
lated in every contract to be reduced according to the pro-
portion which the average price of wheat, at the time of
making such payment, bears to its average price at the time
that such contract was formed, so that such payment may be
of the same value as was originally intended and agreed to
by the parties.
6. A legislative enactment authorising the cultivation of
tobacco, and the preparation of sugar from beetroot or other
vegetables, and exempting the said tobacco and sugar from
the payment of any duty.
7. The entire and immediate repeal of those taxes which
are imposed upon articles of general consumption, of the
Excise duty on soap, and of the Customs' duties on sugar
and coffee, the produce of British colonies, and on those sorts
of tea and tobacco which are used by the labouring classes.

The Committee met again this day, Sir James Duckworth
chairman.
The clauses of the Bill, which have already occupied two
days, are not likely to be got through for the next two days.
Several amendments were to-day proposed to be made in
the toll clauses, which gave rise to a protracted discussion.
After some amendments, they were agreed to.

POSTSCRIPT-SATURDAY MORNING.

Last night the Fingoe picquet again surprised a party of
Kaffirs, said to be about 12 in number, all mounted, passing
along the flat at the head of Colonel Somerset's kloof. These
Kaffirs did no' approach sufficiently near for the picquet to do
execution, and had they not fired when they did, the enemy
would have escaped. Several long shots were exchanged, the
result being that the Fingoes captured one horse, with bags
full of reins, halters, clothing, &c., also sk pass, purporting to
be signed by the Diplomatic Agent, dated February 15, but
in what year does not appear. This pass appears to be a
forged document. Received a report that last night the re-
sidence of Mr. Corbitt, above the Mill River, had been fired
by the enemy. The premises had been abandoned, but they
contained mod of their furniture, oats, hay, &c., which, to-
gether with the buildings, was reduced to ashes. The enemy
then proceeded to the residence of Mr. Wilmott, where a
party of farmers are assembled ' • but finding them on the
alert, and the place well defended, they moved off in another
direction, without firing a shot. The great body of Kaffirs
appear to have struck cif towards the Bushman's River
Poort. a favourite haunt of theirs—the paths leading to
that point being. it is said, covered with the spoor. or toot-
markt., of the enemy. It is understood that Colonel Somerset
will detach a strong body of his division to the point of
danger.
The detachment Qf the Cape Corps, under Ensign Salis,
which proceeded to the station of the Field Cornet Lombard,
returned 19 town this morning, reporting chat they had not
fallen in with the enemy, and who would appear to have
moved across the Zuurlserg towards the ravines of the Bush-
man's River, es before stated. The Kaffirs avoid meetingour
mounted men in open day.

bounded by Skinner-sleet, Farringdon-street, and the
Old Bailey. This line would be about 5:3- miles in
length, and the entire estimate is 1,200,0001. A tunnel
would carry the railway through Clspton-hill. From
Kiugslaad-road to the City-road the line would b in
an open cutting, and from the City-road to Skinner-
street there would be a continuous tunnel of more than
a mile in length.
If this line should in other respects receive the
sanction of Parliament, it should be on the condition
that its terminus is placed on the north side of the City-
road, where it would confer as much convenience on the
public u if it had been placed in Farringdon-street ;
while the company would save a great and unnecessary
expense ; the invasion of private property would be
avoided ; and the public would escape the inconvenience
that would result from the crowding of some of the
principal thoroughfares of the city.
