MOTT V. THE LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY COM-
Hi 3 HONOUR PANY.--JUDGMENT
gave judgment •
to-day in this case, which
came before the Court a few
for an inj • days back, upon motion
unction to restrain the London and Blackwell
Railway Company, their
servants, wor
from making any erection, or doi kmen, and agents,
vrould have the effect of permanentlngd any act, which
ing, or rendering impassable so y estroying, injur-
mthe Bow-road), called Arnold-road, as was delineated
on the plan drawn in margin of
the 20th of June, 1845, an agreement, dated
or so much thereof as extended
from the Bow-road to a private road
back of the plaintiff's gardens. •
rherunning at the
s;.ipport of the motion was, that Mr. Mott had
made in
into an agreement for a building lease fh d entered
or 99 years
of the locus in quo, with the Rev. Mr. Baker and two
other gentlemen of the same name; that Messrs. Baker
had sold the remainder of the property to the com-
pany; and that the railway company proposed to erect
a station, which it was apprehended would entirely
close Arnold. road, by means of which road the plain-
tiff had access by private entrance to six houses which
he had built. The plaintiff alleged that the company
(who had purchased the interest of the Messrs Baker)
refused to give hisl a lease, the effect of which lease
would be to make tn acknowledgment and admission
of the existence of the Arnold-road. The plaintiff
contended that the efidence established the fact of the
agreement for a lease, and that the company were
legally bound to perform all the covenants by which
Messrs. Baker were bound, and that the company had
no power under their Acts, or either of them, to pass
over the land in question.
His HONOUR, after going through the facts
of the case, stating that he carefully read all
the papers, in the hope of putting an end to useless
litigation, stated that he thought the best course to be
adopted would be to let the motion stand over (the
defendants undertaking to abide by any order the Court
might make), in order that the plaintiff might bring
such action as he might be advised, the defendant in
that action admitting that the plaintiff had tendered
for execution a lease in conformity with the agree-
ment, except so far as it described the property as
bounded by Arnold-road, and that in consequence
thereof the defendants had refused to execute the
lease.

At the suggestion of the counsel for the plaintiffs,
The COURT allowed the case to stand over for a few
days, in order that the suggestions of his Honour might
be considered, and the matter put in a proper train for
trial at law.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE
LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTII COAST RAILWAY
CoNPANY V. JUSTICES OF SURREY.
Mr. WARBENGZR moved for rule calling upon the
justices of surrey to show cause why a certiorari should
not issue to have the proceedines of an appeal case that
had been heard beft're them brought into this Court to be
quashed. The London, Brighton, and SouthCoastCompany
appealed to the Surrey Court of Quarter Sessions against
a rate that had been declared by the parish authorities
of Croydon, but that company subsequently abandoned
the appeal, and in the absence of their representative
the case came on at the Court of Quarter Sessions, and
was dismissed with 1161. costs. Now, the practice of
the Surrey Court of Quarter Sessions was not to grant
more than 40s. costs, except where a notice had
been given by the other side that an application
would be made for costs oeyond 405., and as
that course had not been followed here, the
Company had determined to apply to this Court to quash
the order for the payment of costs above 40s.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said it was clear the Justices
had authority to awar4 the costs withounrevious notice.
aue toe uompiny mu not choose tothe present wnen
the appeal came on, it could not be said to be the fault
of the Justices.

Mr. WARRENGER then urged that the order requiring
the Company to pay the costs was informal, inasmuch.
as it was entitled, " Surrey to wit, at a General Court of
Quarter Sessions held before our Lady Sovereign the
Queen, at St. Mary's, Newington," and did not specify
that it was a General Court of Quarter Sessions, in and
for the county of Surrey.
Mr. Justice CoLEHIDGE was of opinion that this objec-
tion could not be sustained, as the context of the order
showed beyond all doubt that it was a Court of Quarter
Sessions for the County of Surrey.
Mr. WARRENGER then urged that the order was bad,
in so far as it did not specify what the costs were for,
but simply awarded the parish "costs, 1161."
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE was of opinion that the term
costs 1161, must be taken and construed in connexion
with the other points of the order, specifying that the
case arose out of an appeal to a rate, and that the appel-
lants had neglected to appear.
Rule refused.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
THOMPSON V. WESLEYAN NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION.
This action, which was tried the other day before
Mr. Justice Maule, was brought on two bills of ex-
change, which were accepted by a person on behalf of
the Wesleyan Newspaper Association. There were two
issues in the case, one of which was found for the plain-
tiff and the other for the defendant.
Mr. Sergeant TILFoURD now applied to enter for the
defendant the issue which had been found for the
plaintiff, and which was to the effect that the accept-
ances on the bills were not signed by the proper officer
appointed on that behalf by the association.
The Court granted a rule, and suggested that the
subject should again be brought before the Court in the
form of a special case.

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS
Mr. Tyler opens his campaign at this delightful sum-
mer resort on Monday. Yesterday we were favoured
with a private view of the gardens, and find, from the
many alterations and improvements made, that Mr. Tyler
must, during the recess, have been indefatigable in
making his preparations for the approaching season.
The
principal innovation upon the past, at least the one
intended to be a fixture—for we must except the view
of Rome—is an entirely new orchestra, which is placed
much to the east of the spot upon which the old one
stood. This edifice is peculiarly chaste in its architec-
tural character and embellishments. It is well mised,
the several parts are admirably balanced, and
light which is diffused from el-gant and
tastefully modelled chandeliers is so contrived as
to assist the general artistic arrangements and give
greater effect to its many claims to be considered one of
the best constructed edifices for a like purpose which we
know of. The exterior of this orchestra is the more
worthy of notice from a portion of its embellishments
consisting of some fine busts in Portland stone, of the
four quarters of the globe and two statues, the one of
Venus, the other of Adonis, which were discovered
during the removal of an old manor-house at Peck-
ham, and said to have been in the grounds of that edi-
fice for a period of upwards of two hundred years.
The statue of Venus is well worthy the attention of the
connoisseur and artist; its details are academic, and in
parts severely classic. There is much beauty in the
head and great breidth of chisel, while the hands
and feet closely adhere to the best and correctest
schools. The flesh is pulpy. and life-like withal, and
the drapery masterly. The male figure is not so much
removed from •mere nature; it borders too closely upon
the model, the blemishes of which are not refined. The
site of " Rome," which is painted by Mr. Denson, covers
a greater area than usually devoted to similar scenic
effects here, the houses in the foreground being as large
as ordinary ones. From the Castle of St. Angelo, by
the aid of wire ropes some two hundred feet in length,
a living figure of Perseus upon a chenal volaxt will be
made to fly, the horse giving forth fire with its breath
during its descent. The whole of the arrangements ap-
pear to be such that the recollection of no past season,
we are led to believe, will be recalled in prejudice to the
one to come.

MRLANCWOLY ACCIDENT AT BLACRFRIARS BRIDGE.
—Yesterday afternoon, three lads, named Edward Wil-
liams, Joseph Farthing, and John Rees, in the employ-
ment of Mr. Mott, of Poppin's-court, Fleet street, hired
boat for the purpose of having a row on the river.
Whilst amusing themselves near ‘Vatson's floating-bath.
they ran against a barge, and the lads in standing up
caused the bust to cant over, and in an instant the three
parties were immersed in the river. Boats were imme-
diately put off to the rescue of the parties. Two of them
being expert swimmers, they succeeded in keeping them-
selves from sinking until such time as they were picked
up. The other unfortunate youth, Edward Williams,
perished.
