QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sitt►ngs in Banco.)
QUEEN v. HILL.
In this case the defendant was indicted for a nuisance
arising out of an arsenic manufactory near Kingitons
in Surrey, of which he was the proprietor. Fie noir
came up for judgment, but
The LORD CHIN! JUSTICE, who tried the case, Uhl
the jury expressed a wish that the factory should be
allow, d to remain wbure it is if it could be carried on
without injury to the public. Now the Court were
anxious to know if something Gould not be done to ac-
complish that object. Would it not be well to refer the
matter to some sei.-ntific gentleman to see if the working
of the factory could be so changed SS to destroy the
nui,,ance.
Mr. CHAMBERS, who appeared for the defendant, was
quite willing to accede to liaise suggestions, as. Was also
Mr. Sergeant Shea, who represented the prosecution
and it was ultimately arranged that the question
should be referred to Professor Brandt, upon the under-
standing that the defendant immediately paid the taxed
Cows of the other side.
The judgment of the Court was therefore polipopesi
until next term.

BAIL COURT.--(THIS DAY.)

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sitting in Banco.)
WALSTAB V. THE PATENT 7cEL COMPANY.
This ette came before the Court on a demurrer. .11
appeared that the plaintiff was the company's agent for
the sale of their " Patent Fuel," an article manufactured
from coal dust and tar. By the agency contract, the
plaintiff was to be paid 7s. per ton on all patent fuel
sold and delivered by him from his wharf, 4s. per ton on
all sold from thence and taken away by the purchaser,
53. 3d per ton on all patent fuel sold by the company
from their works at Deptford and delivered by the plaid-
tiff, and 6d. per. ton on all patcpt fuel sold from
cheese and taken away by the purchasers (except
what should be sold for shipment .0! exportation,
or to cev twin paper-makers); and it was stipu-
lated that it should Lot be lawful for the com-
pany to cart, or otherwise deliver to the purchaser

by the
the p
that the p,laintiff should, in every such instance
"as last aforesaid,' have the right and benefit of the
delivery.
Mr. PEAcuCH. on behalf of the company, contended
that the words " as last aforesaid" referred to the paSeLLS
fuel sold for "shipment or exportation," and that the
plaintiff was not entitled to have the delivery of what was
sold for ‘• shipment or exportation."
Mr. WILLEs, for the plaintiff, contended that the
words referred to the last antecedent only, which was,
all fuel which should not be taken away by the pur-
chaser."
The COURT were unanimously of that opinion, and
judgment wa given for the plaintiff for 1,2001., the
amount as,cesscd by the jury au the trial that had pre-
viouuly taken place. There was also another demurrer,
rdating to a sum of 3984 which was also decided in the
plaintiff's favour.
