GROUP LIX.

The Committee on this group re-assembled to-day at
twelve o'clock.

LANCASTER AND PRESTON.

Mr. BAIN-Es, Q.C., opened the case for this Bill.
A long discussion then ensued between counsel as to the
right of the petitioners against this Bill to be heard. After
which, the proofs of compliance with the resolutions of Mr.
Duncombe were given, and the evidence was proceeded with.
Mr. Hong, who appeared on the part of the Lancaster and.
Carlisle and Preston Junction Railways Amalgamation, ap-
plied to have these two Bills heard together, as the former
had been leased to the latter Company.
A long discussion then followed, which terminated in the
Committee recommending Mr. Hope to withdraw his opposi-
tion to the preamble of the Bill, reserving his right to open
the question on the clause relating to the appointment of
directors.

The Learned Counsel acquiesced in the recommendation 01
the Committee, who decided that the preamble of the Bill
was proved. _ _

Tlie clauses of tha Bill were then gone through seriatim
and the Committee adjourned.

QUEEN'S BENCH. -(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius at the Guildhall, London.)
There were tw•o special jury cases for trial on the paper
this morning, but they were disposed of, without going to
trial, by being referred, with the consent of the parties, to
arbitration.
After disposing of an undefended case, the Court adjourned
till tomorrow, the parties to the common jury cases on the
paper, not being prepared to go on with them.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius in London, before the LORD CHIEF
BARON and Common Juries.)
DAY V. DAY.

Mr. Humphery appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Boy
for the defendant.

This was an action brought to recover a sum of about
7,0001., as for money lent and on account stated.
The defendant pleaded that he was never indebted ; and
that as to 2,f,001. of the amount, the ground of action, oc-
curred more than six yeats ago. The replication put these
pleas in issue. It appeared that the parties in this case were
brothers, and that the plaintiff had, on several occasions, as-
sisted the defendant. On the 25th February of the present
year, the brothers met, and then settled the account exist-
ing between them, upon which settlement the present action
was brought.
Mr. BovILL submitted, on behalf of the defendant, that
the settlement produced was not of a nature to support the
declaration.

Ultimately a verdict was entered for the plaintiff, with
damages, 6,8501., several points of law be;nt, reserved by his
Lordship for the consideration of the full Court.

PASSING OF THE CORN BILL, DERBY.—The fact of
the passing' of the Corn and Customs' Bills, and the defeat
of the Ministry on the Irish question, was telegraphed from
Rugby and Derby, and thence to Leeds and York. The
news arrived at Derby at nine o'clock on Friday morning
(market-day), and on the appearance of the second edition
of the Reporter immediately afterwards, the news spread
through the town with great rapidity. The fact that the
Corn and Customs' Bills were secure was the theme of re-
joicing, and the bells struck up merry peals in celebration of
the triumph. With regard to the defeat of the Ministry, the
people rejoiced that the Coercion Bill was def ated, but they
seemed to regret that Sir Robert Peel should have persisted
in running his head against this "Irish difficulty." We are
all " agog" to see what sort of Government Lord John will
form ; there must be an infusion of new blood into the Whig
councils, or the country won't have a Whig Government.
We are to have grand rejoicings on account of the passinfs oaf
the Corn and Customs' Bills. No illumination—
