O'BRIEN ♦. CLEMENTS-
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,—ln the report of this case, which appeared in
your paper of Tuesday last, you make the Attorney-
C aeral, who appeared as counsel for the defendant,
sttte iu his address to the jury that the action was one
of a series of actions against newspapers, and that an
action had been I:rought by the plaintiff against the pro-
prfetors of the Plymouth Times for a similar libel as that
iiv;lich gave rise to the above action. Now it so happens
t.' at the article containing the libel cpmplained of did
n'); appear in the columns of the Plynzouth Times, and
c(,nsequently no action has ever been brought against us
a: the proprietors of that paper, as stated in your report.
We will, therefore, thank you to insert this letter in your
n-z.t publication by way of correcting the error into
.rich your reporter has fallen, and oblige, Sir,
Your obedient servants,
SCOTT and HOPKINS.
Proprietors of the Plymouth Times.
Plymouth, Dec. 10, 1846.

THE REPRESENTATION OF
MANCHESTER.

On Wednesday evening a meeting of gentlemen
inrourr.ble to the nomination of the Earl of Lincoln at
the next election for the borough of Manchester was
hell at the Albion Hotel. About 150 merchants, manu-
ftvtturers, and others were present.
Mr. Alderman NEILD was called to the chair, and
opened the proceedings by stating that, in his opinion,
L.,rd Lincoln was a fitter candidate fur the borough
Lb an Mr. Bright.
Mr. J. PEEL gave an account of the interview which
he and other members of the deputation had had with
the Earl of Lincoln, and read the following letter, which
his Lordship wrote to him on the 30th-ult.:—
" Drayton Manor, Nov. 30.
" Dear Sir,—l am now able to consider myself free
from any implied engagement to another constituency,
ail I have therefore no longer any hesitation in express-
ing the isexe than willingness that:l feel to become a can-
di tats or Manchester, in the event of such a requisition
being presented to me as shall justify me in aspiring to
that honour, and that shall warrant the belief that a
majority of the constituency are willing to accept my
services as their representative.
"I feel sensibly the honour of having my name asso-
ciated with the representation of such a town as Man-
chester, and if eiceted, my best services will be devoted
to the important duty which will devolve upon me."
The ineetinf was afterwards addressed by Mr. Gar-
nett (of the Manchester Guardian), Mr. J. A. Turner,
Mr. M. Ross, and others, when a committee was nomi-
nated to promote the electio❑ of Lord Lincoln. There-
quisition to his Lordship has been signed by about 1,500
electors.

SOUTH-WESTERN EXTENSION RAILWAY. —At a
court of compensation at the Horns Tavern, Kensington,
yeAterday, before Mr. R. WaMager, assessor, and a
special jury, the case of Joseph Petchew, claimant,
against the South-Western Extension Railway Company
respondents, came on in pursuance of a precept issued
under the provisions of the London and South-Western
Motropolitan Extension Railway Act, to assess the
amount of compensation and damage the claimant was
entitled to in respect of certain leasehold premises held
by him, situate No. 61, Westminster-bridge-road, Lam-
beth, and which were required by the South-Western
Railway, for the purposes of the extension of that rail-
way from Nine Elms to Hungerford-bridge, and also for
compensation for the goodwill and less of trade in his
business of a saddler, occasioned by the removal. The
cia want, after receiving notice that his premises were
required by the company, sent in a claim of 4,2701., in-
cluding a sum of 1,8001. for goodwill of trade. Mr. M.
Chambers and Mr. Lush appeared for the claimant, and
the Attorney-General, Mr. M. D. Hill, Q.C., and Mr.
Merewether for tfie company. The usual evidence
having been taken, the Attorney-General, at consider-
able length, addressed the jury on the part of the com-
pany, contending that the claim was a most gros and
ex:ravagact one, the claimant seeking to rccovk r 1,364/.
for that which only a few years since he paid but 516/,
and that with regard to the claim of three years' com-
pensation, the utmost that had ever been awarded was
one year ; and, instead of the profits being 6001., the
claimant had himself stated they were nut more than
3COI. per annum, which sums were all that he was fairly
entitled to in addition to the fixtures and interest in the
ba,:k premises and stables. The Learned Assessor having
briefly summed up, the jury retired, and, after being
aLsant half an hour, returned a verdict of 1,9001 for the
whole, being 2,370/. less than the amount claimed. The
oe.e occupied the court until seven o'clock, which was
er ,wded with tradesmen of the same neighbourhood, the
question of the compensation for goode ill being ap-
pleiable to other cakes in which claims have been made
ete the same princip!e, and rejected by the company.
