HOUSE OF LORDS.
GROUP D.
M.PiNCHESTEIt 11./sTII LINCOLN UNION
(STALVELY

The Committee re-assembled to•day, Lord Somers in the
chair.

This Bill was unopposed, and the evidence of the company
and the formal proofs having been put in, the preamble was
allowed, the clauses were gone through, and the report was
ordered to be brought up. It is understodd that this com-
pany is to be incorporated with the united companies whose
Bill was allowed yesterday.
AXHOLM, GAINSBOILOUGH, GOOLE, TOXIC

AND NORTH MIDLAND JUNCTION.
The Committee next took the above line, and Mr. WHITE-
HURST, Q C., opened the case briefly on behalf of -the pro-
moters, stating that this was a branch to supply a communica-
tion in an agricultural district where it was much wanted,
the several portions of which would be shown in the
evidence. He called Mr. Gambles, but a long discus-
sion ensued between the Learned Gentleman and Mr.
Sergeant Wrangham as to whether the latter could
appear on behalf of Mr. Childers, M.P. who had presented
a petition on behalf of himself and others, trustees of Hat-
field Chase, as well as for other landowners. Mr. Whitehurst
contended that Mr. Childers could only appear as a petition-
ing landowner on his own behalf, and as the line did not
touch his laud at all, he was clearly out of court.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUT XXXIII.
The Committee on this group met to-day, in Room No. 24
(Grand Corridor); present, Sir Robert Ferguson (Chairman),
the Marquis of Worcester, Viscount Newry, Mr. Smollett,
and Mr. Fellowes.
The hour appointed for meeting was eleven o'clock, when
the report, tables, and sections of the referees and umpire,
respecting the alleged errors in the levels of the Warwick-
shire and London Railways were put in. But the full num-
ber of Members not having arrived until half-past twelve
o'clock, business was not proceeded with till that hour.
They then proceeded to consider the objections raised to
the levels of the three Warwickshire lines, in connexion with
the London and Birmingham Railway Company, and on the
narrow gauge, namely,
WORCESTER AND WEEDON,
HAMPTON AND ASHCHURCH,'
HAMPTON AND EANnuirr.
The CHAIRMAN observed that the Committee would take
the first seven miles of the Worcester and Weedon, which
had been reported on as samples of the levelling on the

Mr. Minix, for the promoters, said that he was ready to
put in evidence to disprove the alleged erroneousness of the
levels.
The CHAIRMAN said, which evidence the Committee have
decided not to hear.

The room was then cleared, and after about half an hour's
deliberation the parties were re-admitted, when
The CHAIRMAN announced the decision of the Committee
to be, that with respect to the
BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION,
the preamble was proved, and that with respect to the
BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION (BIR-
MINGHAM EXTENSION),
the preamble also was proved. That in respect, to the War-
wickshire and London line, the preamble of the

WORCESTER AND WEEDON
was not proved. In respect to the
HAMPTON AND ASHCHURCH,
the preamble was not proved ; and in respect to the
HAMPTON AND BANBURY,
the preamble was not proved ; but that in respect to the
RUGBY, LEAMINGTON, AND WARWICK,
the preamble be amended, by striking out the words " towns
of Leamington and Warwick," and by inserting the words
" town of Leamington" instead thereof. The preamble, as
so amended, was declared to be proved. In-the case of the
LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM (BIRMINGHAM EL
TENSION),
the preamble had been proved.
During the remainder of the sitting the Committee were
occupied in passing the clauses of the Birmingham and Ox-
ford Junction.

GROUP )(XXVIII.
WEST RIDING UNION.
The several clauses of this Bill were gone through in Corn
mitt ee.

GROUP LIII.
This Committee re-assembled to-day pursuant to adjourn-
ment, at the usual Lour, in Room 26, Grand Corridor, New
Houses of Parliament. Present, the Hon. E. Lascelles
(chairman), the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, and Captain
Dalrymple.

suitEursnunv AND
On being called upon by the Hon. CHAIRMAN to proceed
with this Bill,
Mr. HOPE said—With regard, Sir, to the Shrewsbury and
Birmingham Bill, I should state to the Committee that they
will probably remember that there were two Bills standing
before you for the construction of a line from Birmingham to
Shrewsbury, and another from Wolverhampton to Birming-
ham. It is proposed, of course, that both companies should
not execute a line between Wolverhampton and Birming-
ham. I believe that the Bill for the line between
WolverhaMpton and Birmingham can be proceeded with.
• With regard to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham you will
probably remember that an amalgamation was come to
between them and the Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton
Company. The arrangements, in order to carry out that
object, are very complex, and I am afraid that we shall not
be able to do anything with that Bill to-day; but the Bill
with regard to Wolverhampton and Birmingham is ready,
and can, in fact, be now proceeded with.

BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND
STOUR VALLEY (BIRMINGHAM, WOL-
VERHAMPTON, AND DUDLEY LINES).

This Bill was accordingly proceeded with, and the preamble
declared to be proved. On the clause with respect to sta-
tions being read,
Mr. COCKBURN, Q.C., said that the party whom he re-
presented proposed to insert a clause, the effect of which
would be to regulate the situation of the stations of the
two Companies at Wolverhampton. The Committee
were aware that both parties had scheduled the same
land as the site of their stations, and there was to be,
as they were aware, a double station at the high and the
low level. Now, it so happened that the land of both par-
ties scheduled for the purposes of stations, was intersected
by the canal in that district; and he proposed; therefore, a
clause that should give this Company one side of the
canal, and that party which he represented, the
other side. The effect of the clause (which the Learned
Counsel read and put in) would be to restrict the Companies
to a particular side of the canal.
Mr. HOPE, on the part of this Company, objected to the
clause.
A long discussion ensued.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings before Ms. Justice WIGHTMAN and a Special Jury.)
SIMPSON V. MARGITSON.
This was an action brought by Mr. Simpson, the auc-
tioneer, to recover the commission for the sale of certain pro-
perty for the defendant. It was complained by the latter
that the charge was excessive, and that the amount sought
was more than the plaintiff was fairly entitled to for the ser-
vice performed. 2251. had been paid into Court as a sufficient
satisfaction of all demands.
After the examination of some witnesses on the point at
issue, the jury returned a verdict of 2001. for the plaintiff
over and above the amount paid into Cour-.
(Before a Common Jury.)
MATTHEWS AND ANOTHER V. BIRD.
This was an action instituted by Messrs. Matthews and
Vines, of Southampton, to recover from Mr. Bird, solicitor,
of Winchester, the sum of 350/. on two bills of exchange.
The defendant pleaded the statute of limitations. The whole
case turned upon the interpretation of certain letters between
the parties within the six years, which jhe plaintiffs con-
tended amounted to a promise of payment, but which Coun-
sel for the defendant

--A.verdict for the defendant was given, with leave for the
plaintitfs to move that the verdict be set aside and one en-
tered for them, should the Court be of opinion that there was
sufficient evidence to take the case out of the statute of limi-
tations.

MARLBRV-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
George Johnson, a young man of shabby appearance, was
charged with uttering a counterfeit sovereign.
It appeared that between nine and ten o'clock last evening,
the prisoner entered the shop of Mr. Wm. Sheen. of No. 44,
Upper Marylebone-street, Oxford. street, haberdasher and
hosier, and asked to look at some cotton half-hose, which
were shown him, and he selected four pair, directing them,
with change for a sovereign, to be immediately sent to No.
28, Cirencester-place, Fitzroy-square. Two of the prosecu-
tor's daughters took the goods as directed. In Cirencester-
place they were met by the prisoner in company with ano-
ther man ; he said he would not trouble them to go any fur-
ther, and gave the eldest Miss Shean a sovereign, and she
handed him the change, l6s. On sounding it on the pave-
ment she discovered it to be bad, and at the instant the pri-
soner and his companion set off running; she pursued, calling
" Stop thief," and alter following him through several streets
he jumped into a cab, and was being driven off at a rapid
rate, when police-constable Hughes, 114 I'4, Succeeded in
stopping the horse and taking him into custody.
The prisoner said he did not wish to make any answer to
the charge.
Constable Hughes said that no doubt the cabman was a
confederate. it was the practice now of smashers to have a
cab waiting at a certain spot to facilitate escape. If the
prisoner was remanded he had no doubt but that he should
be able to bring between twenty and thirty other cases against
him.

Mr. HA anwrcK said he should fully, commit him on the
present charge, but order him to be brought up again this
day week.
