W INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEA'S BENCH, May 26.
NEWTON r. BELCHER.

The Court was oocupted the greater part of the day with
this case. It was an action brought by ;Messrs. Newton and
Company, the well-kilown advertising agents, to recover the
sum of 4,280/. from the defendant, Mr. William Doe Belcher,
formerly Ma:•or of Abringdon, who hail taken an active part
in the management of the Direct Oxford and Salisbury
Railway, one of those unfortunate projects which
the " panic" extinguished. The jury found that the
defendant was not liable for the full amount,
but that he was f r the sum of 8771., and they gave
a verdict for that sum on the direction of the Learned Judg-'.
The plaintiffs being cissatisfied with this amount moved fora
new trial, or that the verdict should be increased by consen•.
Mr. CRowDEit to-day was heard at great length in sup-
port of the rule. He said the plaintiffs had paid out of their
own pockets between 2,000/. and 3,0001. for the insertion of
the advertisements of the company in the morning and even-
ing papers. So active a part had Mr. Belcher taken in the
line, that the line was altered to pass through Abingdon
to meet his wishes; and in a voluminous correspondence
that took place, he never denied his liability, nor asserted
that he was not amenable for the entire amount. Nay,
more, he was appointed a member of a committee to make ar-
rangements for the settlement of the debts of the company,
which amounted to about 16,000/., in 'which the defer d:1.1
took an active part, and he was also one of the guarantees in
getting some 300/. or 4,000/. from the bankers of the company.
There could not be a stronger case of direct liability—and
the plaintiffs having taken the orders on the responsibility
of the defendant and others with whom he acted, he con-
sidered that they would be most u justly used if
they were to lose some 1,500/. or 2,000/. It was
held that the defendant was only liable from
a given time, and not for advertisements inserted before
that period. A general order of "Go on inserting" was
given a few days before he joined the company, and the ad-
vertisements were then continued from day to day; but
when lie joined the company it was only formed, and lie
was clearly liable for the former as well as the subsequent
expenses.
Mr. Caownen, in conclusion, laid great stress on the fact
that the Learned Judge at the trial (Mr. Justice Erie) told
the jury that, if they found the defendant liable from
the 15th of October, their verdict would be fur the suns
for which it was given, and that the jury ought to have been
left to name the amount.

NEWTON' V. LIDYEASt.
In this case the same principle was involved.
Both causes having been argued at length by Mr.
Crowder and Mr. Montague Chamhers on the one side, and
by Mr. Bramwell on the other,
The COURT deferred its decision.

--- have a salary of 1601. a year, asti an additional sum of 20s.
per day for his expenses when travelling for the defendants.
Ile was also allowed 301. a
year for a horse and chaise, the
defendants agreeing to find keep and carriage room for the
horse and chaise at such times a-hen the plaintiff was not en-
gaged in trav4ing for the defendants. The plaintiff alleged
that the defendants did not continue him in their employ as
agreed, and that he was not paid any part of the 80/, and
the jury found a ve•diet for him for the amount stated.
Mr. Sergeant BYLEs How app led, by leave of the Learned
Judge, for a rule to show c.-aisa why the verdict upon the
special count should not be entered for the defendants. It.
appeared that the defendants refused to send the plaintiff
upon journeys, and the entire question in the case turned
upon the contract as :et out in the declaration, whether it
was incumbent upon the employers 'of the plaintiff to send
hint on journeys, or whether it was enough to pay him the
20s. a day in the event of his being sent. '1 hey paid his
salary and the keep of his horse. but they refused to pay
him the expenses incurred in travelling on journeys on which
they did not send.
The COURT granted a rule.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREE7.
RATITUDE.-A miserable looking young man was
charged with ftcaling a 201. note belonging to Mr.
Thomas Elley, 3, Victoria, street, Farringdon-street.
Constable 152 F was on duty in Bedfordbury at an
early hour in the morning, when Mr. Elley informed him
he had been robbed by a female. Ile was drunk, and
became very abusive w the officer, who returntd to his
duty. Shortly atter the policeman observed the prisoner
examining papers in a pocket-book by the light of the
lamp, and on inspecting them found a 20/. note, after-
wards identified us the one lost by Mr. Elley.
Mr. JARDINE having heard the prisoner repeat the
story told at the station ordered him to be discharged.
Mr. Elley immediately repeated his abuse to the
officer for presuming to say that he had been in the
company of a female, and that he was drunk ; but lie
seemed nothing loth to havA the note 'restored to him.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
RAILWAY WORKS.
A rc turn has just been made to an order of the House
the Commissioners of Railways of Commons of the railway e,thpanies who have made
application to
tension of the periods limited by their Acts for the pur-
chase of lands or the completion of works. sPecitYing in
each case the pnritni for which such extension is decreed,
and the works or lands to which it is proposed to apply,
ittelutlinz the length of for ex
the line and the estimated cost
of the works, and also stating• whether such of'Plicati"
has or has nut been entertained by the Commissioners,
!rem which we make the following-abstrAct, believing
!that it may prove interesting to our readers who are
connected with railway property.- The period of, exten•
sion is invariably two y ears, except oth. rwise stated.

The Edinburgh and • Glasgow Railway Company ob•
tained peo,ers by the A.,.t incorporating the Airdrie
and Bathgate Junction Cotnpuuy to acquire the line
of the latter company, or to form the same ; and
shortly after the passing of the Act, the Edinburgh
Company gave notice .of their intention to acquire
the right to form the. line, Relying upon this notice,
the Airdrie Company delayed taking any powers to ex-
ercise the powers of the Act, but atter waiting for some
time, were compelled to resort to a court of law to en-
force the Act against the Edinburgh Company. In the
meantime, the time allowed for the purchase of land
being about to expire, the Airdrie Company applied to
the Railway Commissioners for au, exieurflon of time, to
which they received an answer; " that, unless the two
companies consent to join in the application, the Com-
missioners could not entertain it." The Airdr • ie Com-
pany, feeling the hardship of the case, obtained the
opinion of counsel, and appealed to the Commissioners
to reconsider the case, but unsuccessfully. Application
was made to the Edinburgh Company to concur, but
without success.
