LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VICE-CHANCERY COURT, July 11.
COLUMBINE V. CHICHESTER.
The arguments were this day concluded, and his
Honour, in giving judgment, said that on the substance
of the case be thought the plaintiff had stated sufficient
to support his bill. Some observations had been made
for the purpose of disparaging the character of Mr. Co-
lambine, but he could not see that there was anything
to impeach his conduct. The bill stated that the plaintiff
had made many inquiries, and used great exertions in
procuring information, and in transacting the correspon-
dence requisite for the formation of a company to con-
struct a railway from London to Exeter direct. He had
then entered into negotiations with several gentlemen, j
who became provisional directors of the railway. These
gentlemen, wishing afterwards to have the entire ma- I
nagement and control of the affairs of the company, had
entered into an agreement with the plaintiff, who was
to give up all the information he had obtained, and was
to receive 1,500 shares, upon which the deposit was to
be considered as paid. Subsequently, at a meeting of
the shareholders, this agreement was varied to the
extent that Mr. Columbine was to receive only 1,000
shares, and 8121. 10s. in cash. The agreement was per-
fectly fair, and the only way of disputing it would he to
say that the sum was too much ; but the very people
who were to judge of the matter agreed that such should
be the payment. This agreement was afterwards
signed by Sir J. Chichester, the chairman of the meeting
at which the subject was discussed, but it was not de-
livered to the plaintif£ The plaintiff, however, per-
formed his part of the agreement by giving up all the
information he possessed respecting the railway. His
Honour could see no reason why such an agreement
should not be performed. One of the objections raised
was that the bill asked for shares which the directors
had no power to give, since they had been already al-
lotted. He could see no reason for this difficulty, as the
only statement was that the shares might have been
allotted. He could not, therefore, assume that the
directors had no further shares to allot. It had been
argued that the committee could not allot shares with-
out receiving a deposit, but he could not understand that
there was anything in that objection, for where there
was a creditor of the company it came to the same thing
whether that creditor took money or shares. He
thought, upon the substance of the case, the plaintiff was
right, and he should, therefore, overrule the demurrer
to the bill.

PRODSRAM v. WATKINS.

Mr. SHEPPEARE applied for an injunction to restrain
the defendant, who is a watchmaker, from making or
selling watches with the name of Arnold upon them.
It appeared that the plaintiff had purchased the watch-
making business from the executors of Mr. Arnold, and
bad continued to use his name. The defendant had
lately been making watches, and stamping the plates
with this name.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR considered it was an infringe-
ment of the plaintiff's trade mark, and he should, there-
fore; grant the injunction.

the following most outrageous assault on two

On last Tuesday night he was wandering about
ringdon-street in rather a merry mood, and
friends with Mary Ann Jones, a girl of colour, 40
en Saffron-hill, and Margaret Mitchell, both U
rates. He invited them into a public-house to Poe
of some refreshments. There they bad sundry drts
of rum, gin, ale, stout, &c., and on leaving. auto
o'clock in the morning, he invited them both by'cie
his lodgings, in Albion-buildings, Barthedoreelrif
to which place they retired ; and in the morningtol
they asked him for some money, he flew to '
case, and threatened to cut their throats. 1""
made their way out of the window, the door

of the females hanging from the parapet, made lit;
up stairs, rescued the woman, and took the
into custody.
The prisoner stated that he used the violence
to the girls atttempting to steal some silver sP°°"-

This statement the girls most positively denied.
Sir I'. LAURIE said it was one of the most at

NOTES.

1. The increased expense for forage for the dragoons and
trains for the regular army are included in the estimate for
the volunteers; and in that estimate is included all the ex-
pense of depots.
2. The army of appropriations being considered sufficient
for the present fiscal year, no addition is made in consequence
of the war for the remainder of the year. The whole sum,
therefore, estimated for the present year, is for volunteers.
3. The sum estimated for contingencies is less than the
appropriations during the war with England, and is as low
as the circumstances of war, upon even the most moderate
scale, will warrant.

do anvthing with it during the present session ?
TRANSPORTATION TO VAN DIEMAN'S LAND.

Sir G. GIUEY. said that the question of transportation of
males to Van tEernan's Land had been under the consider-
ation of the late Government, and would certainly
occupy the attention of her Majesty's present Ministers.
He could not say more of the course which her Majesty's
Ministers might pursue in reference to it, except that it
would be deemed necessary meanwhile to suspend the
transportation of males to that colony for a limited
period.
Mr. EWART gave notice that he would pOstpone
for ten days the motion which he bad on the book for
that evening, namely, on going into Committee of Sup-
ply, to move, that it is expedient that the practice of
to Alting Van Diemen's Land a genereal receptacle for
convicts should cease ; that transportation be niscon-
tinned as a punishment, and be maintained only as a
supplement to the previous punishment of im-
prisonment. On Friday week, should there
be a Committee of supply moved for, he would bring in
his motion.

STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE.

- - - -
The following resolution Was reported from the above
Committee :-
1. That, in the case of the Caledonian Railway (Glasgow.
Garnkirk, and Coatbridgo Railway Purchase) Bill, amend-
ments on third reading, the amendments are of such a nature
as may be adopted if the louse shall think fit.—Report to
lie on the table.

LICIIFIELD.

FRIDAY.— The day has not yet been fixed for the election
of a ntinber to supply the vacancy caused by Lord Alfred
Paget's acceptance of the office of Clerk Marshal. The writ
was received this morning, and it is generally believed that
Tuesday next will be the day of nomination. The Conser-
vative party are strong here, but it is scarcely probable that
they will (supposing they are disposed) find a candidate to
come forward on the present occasion, seeing that there must
be a general election before a very long period. Captain
Dyott, the Conservative candidate in 1841, it is said declines
to stand. It is expected, therefore, that Lord Alfred Paget
will be re-elected without opposition. At the last general
election the representation of the city was sharply contested,
as will be seen by the following numbers at the close of the
poll i—Anson,'Sir G. (L.), 381 ; Paget, Lord A. (L.), 289 ;
Dyott, Capt. (C.), 281. In January last, Mr. Edward Lloyd
Mostyn, a trustee of Lady Lichfield, succeeded Sir George
Anson in the representation.

EATON, AND BRANCH.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
J. Kidyer examined—Was employed to take the traffic and survey
on the line from Burton to Nuneaton. The populatLou on the line
was 114 000, and the traffic 89,0951.
Cross. examined —Was not prepared to go into the details on which
he based his calculations. He had put down the mineral traffic
t Id. per ton per mile, and the other articles at
1 ~j(1. per ton. The net proceeds of the railway would
be 40.0001. He had made in his calculations on this point an
addition of 50 per cent. to the true traffic. He considered that at
least that increase would result from the railway. Wanted to sur-
vey the country to the west side, but was prevented doing so by Lord
llowe's agent. lie was prevented from taking surveys on Mr.
3loore's estate. Did not include in his estimate any coals coming
I rem the east of the Moira coal fields.
The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee were desirous to ascertain
the rates and tolls at present levied on the Ashby canal.
Mr. MscAta.Av said that he would take care that this information
should be forthcoming.
The witness was re• examined by Mr. MACAULEY—It was of great
importance to the brewers of Burton to have this railway constructed.
There were no less than seventeen schemes which proposed to con-
struct railways in this district and all proposed to pass through the
estates of Lord Home and Mr. Moore. These estates were very
extensive and could not possibly be avoided by a railway crossing the
country.
After hearing some further evidence of the same nature, the Com-
mittee adjourned at four o'clock.

GROUP Lir.

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND MID-
LAND JUNCTION.

The preamble of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junction
line having been proved yesterday, the Committee went through the
clauses to-day, and disposed of them in a short time. They then
entered upon the evidence affecting the Manchester and Hyde line,
which is a line of seven miles ; and also that of Whaley-bridge, a
competing line. The cost of the former was estimated by Mr.
Vignoles at about 119,2001., or 20,0001. per mile, and was to have
two small branches, and one viaduct of 352 yards, and the line was
to be a double one. .

M. Gee, Esq., was examined in opposition to the line, and in sup-
port of the Whaley-bridge line. The latter was to be 12 miles long,
with two short branches ; and he contended that the Whaley-bridge
would be preferable to the Manchester and Hyde, for many reasons.
At the close of this gentleman's evidence, the Committee adjourned
till twelve o'clock to-morrow.

In cross-examination by Mr. Fortsrm, the Witness stated that he
had petitioned against the Bill, but two or three days ago he with-
drew the petition, the Company having abandoned those parts or
their alternative line which would have come too near to his lu/tam.
The cross-examination was lengthened and minute.

GROUP XX.
This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock ; Mr. Sotheron in the
chair.

LONDON, HOUNSLOW AND WESTERN.

The case on behalf of this Bill was regained.
Mr. T 3 son' of Staines, gave general evidence as to the advantages
the proposed line would confer on that town and neighbourhood, in
which a great depreciation of property had taken place from the want
of railway accommodation.

George Beesley, landlord of the Windsor Castle, Hammersmith,
deposed as to the benefit the line would confer in that locality.
Mr. Charles lirown, builder, of Hammersmith, gave evidence to
the same effect.

Evidence of the same character was given by Mr. Beck and Mr.
Brown, of Staines.

GROUP XXVII,

This Committee met this morning at the usual hour ; Sir C. Lemon
in the chair.

SOUTH MIDLAND, AND LEICESTER AND
BEDFORD (COMPETING) LINES.

Mr. PAGET replied on behalf of the promoters of the Leicester and
Bedford Railway, upon the supplemental engineering evidence ad-
duced yesterday.
Mr. MACAULEY replied on behalf of the promoters of the South
Midland scheme, and addressed the Committee upon the general
case.

GROUP XXXI.

SOUTH WALES (AMENDMENTS AND DE-

VIATIONS).

The Committee met this morning at the usual hour ; Mr. Round in
the chair.

The opponents of the.hfargem deviation proceeded to call evidence
against the project.

_ .
Mr. Whateley and Mr. Venables appeared for ➢fr. Talbot, a large
landowner in the vicinity of the line. _

Several witnesses were examined, who agreed in opinion that the
proposed deviation from the line as passed last session would injure
the trade of Bridgend, Cowbridge, &c., as it would create a new line
at the commencement of the deviation, which would withdraw the
trade from Bridgend, which now supplied the inhabitants of the val-
ley of Glamorganshire with the materials used in their avocations,
and also the necessaries of life. One stated that at the point of junc-
tion there were a number of old pits, now unworked, and that there
had been two sinkings on the Perth Canal Railway in consequence of
some of these pits being below it, but they were not of a serious
nature.

GROUP LIV.

This Committee re-assemblesi to-day at the usual hour. Present,
Mr. Bannerman (ekainnaa), and the other Members.

MIDLAND (LEICESTER. ANTI SWANNING..
TON ALTERATION Aim SlutrirczEs).
Mr. Joseph Cubitt, engineer, examined by air. wAnimr
the part of the petitioners—Was an engineer of great experience,
well acquainted with the proposed line before GTO:r, on
Committee.
"d
the
That line went through the properties of Mr. Harris and air, Stratton
In a circuitous direction. He did not tklnk it was the best line that
could be selected for the proposed junction with the Midland line.
Had seen the plans and sections of another line, which proposed to
pass nearer the town of Leicester, which was more direct, not more
expensive, and traversed property not so likely to be Injured by a
railway as the property through which the present line would
Pass. There were no engineering difficulties in the line which he
preferred. The gradients on the longer line were, no doubt, more
favourable. Had seen the estimate of the other line, and considered
it reasonable and 81416'e:et. He was aware that it was proposed to
take the shorter line on a thnber viaduct, and, In his judgment, there
was no danger In that mode of constructing a railway. The re-
mainder of this witness's evidence was In corroboration of the evi-
dence on the part of the petitioners.
The Committee decided upon hearing no further evidence.
Mr. WADDINGTON then addressed the Committee on the part of
the petitioners, and contended that a careful examination of the
evidence must convince the Committee thi.t the petitions of his
clients were founded in justice, and that the line before them did
commit a wanton injury on the,residential property through which
it passed, without any commensurate public advantage. Ills clients
were determined to resist this line to the last, from a conviction that
they had been most cruelly treated by the negligence of those who
had been appointed to inform them of the proposed railway, though
they acquitted the Chairman and Deputy-Chairman of any blame
whatever.

Mr. nILDTARD, on the part of the promoters of the Bill, declined
offering any observations, as the Committee had decided on not
hearing further evidence.
The room was then cleared, and on our re-admission,
The Cusramax announced that the Committee had unanimously
decided that the preamble of the Bill was proved.
The clauses of the Bill were then gone through seriatim.
