LAW LVTELLIGENVE.--(THIS DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY.
!Before the Lord Chancellor.)

THE NAMUR AND LIEGE RAILWAY COMPANY Y. PONS-

I'ORD-APPEAL JUDGMENT.
This is an appeal from a decree of Vice-Chancellor Sir
William Page Wood.

The suit was instituted by the plaintiffs to repossess them-
selves of three thousand £2O scrip certificate shares in their
own company, deposited by them with Messrs. Swaine and
Bovil, and by them handed over to the defendant Ponsford.
Ponsford claimed to have a lien on the shares for money
due to him by Swaine and Bovil, to secure which the shares
had been pledged. The Vice-Chancellor decreed that
Ponsford had no lien on the shares for the specific sum of
£2,25Q. From this decision the present appeal was brought.
The Lord Chancellor, on considering the terms of the
deposit, and minutely examining the accounts and bill
transactions between the parties and the evidence produced
on both sides, came to the conclusion that Swaine and
Bovil had not paid the bill for £2,250, for the pay-
ment of which the shares were originally deposited. And
that the accounts showed that this sum of £2,250 was still
due to the defendant Ponsford. The Lord Chancellor re-
versed the decree of the Vice-Chancellor, and dismissed
the plaintiff's bill with costs

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

Mr. Commissioner Fano was the commissioner of the
day, but there was Duly one case—the examination meeting
of a person named Coutes, who had carried on business as
a draper in Bridge-street, Lambeth. The debts were very
small—about £350.
The bankrupt passed without opposition.

SECONDARIES' COURT.
(Befura Mr. Pato • nd a Jury.)

'AXTRAORDINARY FRACAS 1113 TWEEN AN INSURANCE
BROKER AND SHIP OWNER.-DAM)-GliS £15.-PHILLIPS

, V. DELANY. -
This was a writ of inquiry, to assess the damages, laid at
£5OO, in a case of assault, defendant having suffered judg-
ment to go by default.
Mr. Silley, for the plaintiff, said his client was an insu-
rance broker, of Lloyd's and Cornhill, and defendant a ship-
owner, of Duncan-terrace, Islington. The parties had had
various business transactions together, and plaintiff had oc-
casion to write to defendant for money for various premiums
of insurance. Defendant sent 120, and plaintiff wrote for
more money. To this letter defendant made no an-
swer, and again plaintiff wrote. Not obtaining
any replies plaintiff called upon defendant on Mon-
day, May 1. Defendant pleaded illness as the cause
of his not answering the letters. Plaintiff then said, " Oh,
you could get out on Sunday, surely you could manage to
reply t• me.' A conversation ensued about the business,
and defendant accused plaintiff of an intention to ruin him.
This being repeated, plaintiff said it was an untruth, a false-
hood, or a lie, and defendant flew at him, striking him such
a severe blow in the eye that his handkerchief was covered
with blood. Of coursa plaintiff was prevented from follow-
ing his business, and could not show at Lloyd's. Under
these circumstances the jury would say what damages they
would award plaintiff.

The plaintiff was called, and bore out the observations at
his counsel, adding that when he was struck defendant called
out, "Dare to give an Irishman the lie in his oivn house."
Defendant's daughter came into the room and said, "Oh
father, you ought to be ashamed of yourself." Plaintiff,
at the time of the assault, had a large balance against de-
fendant.

Defendant appeared in person, and cross-examined the
plaintiff about business affairs.

Plaintiff had, a short time before the assault, injured his
arm, so that, if he had felt disposed, he could not have re-
taliated. He admitted giving the lie, defendant having
accused him of keeping back policies. Did not kick defen-
dant, who called out, " Get out of my house, you vaga-
bond."

The surgeon proved the extent of the injury, and plain-
tiff's clerk said that the absence of plaintiff from business
considerably injured him,

Defendant said he had not come here to justify the as-
sault. He was very sorry for it. He threw himself upon
the mercy of the jury. He had expressed his regret for
this occurrence, and thought his apology would be accepted,
but it had not.

He was then sworn and cross-examined, and the learned
secondary summed up.
The jury gave plaintiff £l5 damages.

THIRD EDITION.

SUN OF.FICE, Seven o'clock.

DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE.

The annual boat race for Doggett's Coat and Badge took
place this afternoon. The course, as usual, was from the
Old Swan at London-bridge to the Old Swan at Chelsea.
The following were the competitors :

Benjamin Olyett, Tower.
Jeffrey Herbert Abbott, Norslydown.
Abiah Palmer, Horalydown.
George Tupney Humphrey, Irongate.
Henry John IVaundy Phelps, Fulham.
Nathaniel Rolls, jun., Old Barge House.

About half-past two the signal gun was fired, and a fine
start was effected, but Phelps, of Fulham, soon took a com-
manding lead, followed by Rolls and Olyett. The race re-
quires little description, as Phelps kept increasing his lead,
and ultimately won by nearly half a mile. A fine race en-
sued between Rolls and Olyett for the second money, but
Rolls eventually secured it. The others came in at strag-
gling intervals.

Tho second and third prizes are, as usual, the interest on
£260 17s 3d Three per Cents, formerly £2OO South Sea stock,
left by Sir William Jolliffe. The first man receives £1 in
addition to the coat and badge, by way of expenses; the
fourth man receives lls. 6d., and the fifth and sixth
£1 ls. each, the authorities of Fishmongers' Hall giving
the last four sums.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Tigris RiN re r Navigation Improvement Bill was read
a third time and passed.
The Brandon E states Bill was considered and ordered
for third reading

ATTORNEYS, SOLICITORS, PROCTORS, AND

CERTIFICLA.TED CONVEYANCERS BILL.

The committee divided on the motion to report progressi
when there appeared—
Ayes
Noes
Majority —92
The question was then put that the clause should be read
a second time, when there appeared—

For the clause
Against it .
-84
Majority

The clause was accordingly lost.
Mr. SHERIDAN said he felt it his duty again to move
that the chairman report progress, as he felt that the pre-
sent proceeding was an attempt on the part of the metro-
politan members to impose taxation upon the whole of the
country.
Visoount ENFIELD appealed to the hon. member for
Dudley not to persevere in his motion for reporting pro-
gress.

After a few words from Sir J. SHELLEY and Mr. DEEDtkit
the motion was negatived withbut a division.
Sir J. SIIELLEY moved an additional clause with re•
spect to the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden.
Mr. HENLEY objected to the clause, which was even•
tually negatived without a division.
Mr. HUBBARD then moved the following clause
" No order for payment of any sum of money shall be
made by any district board upon any parish or place enu-
merated in schedule (B) to the act firstly above re-
cited, except for the amount of expenses actually incurred,
or about to be incurred, within each parish or place re-
spectively for which a general rate or a lighting rate
may, under the one hundred and fifty-eight and one
hundred and sixty-first sections of the said act, be raised
and levied, or for an amount of sewerage expenses equal to
the outlay incurred or about to be incurred on behalf of each
parish or place, or for an amount named in a precept from
the Metropolitan Board of Works as charged upon the
specific parish or place; and if any dispute arise as to what
are expenses or outlay incurred within or on behalf of any
parish or place, the parish or place on which any order
shall have been made for payment may, within two months
after the service of such order, appeal to the Metropolitan
Board of Works, which shall hear both sides in open court,
and whose decision upon the matter shall be final.
Mr. AYRTON thought the clause would in effect
exempt the St. Katherine's Dock Company from the pay-
ment of its proportion of the rates, and he therefore should
oppose its addition to the bill,

Sir F. KELLY said the question raised by this clause
was whether each parish should pay its own portion of ex-
penses under this bill, or whether a number of parishes
should be formed into a district, and a general rate be
levied thereon.

Sir J. SHELLEY said the question was a simple one.
The present bill did not make any alteration in the mode
of levying rates by the Metropolitan Board of Works, but
the amendment of the lion. member opposite proposed alte-
rations of a very extensive nature. He objected that such
an extensive alteration in the system of taxation should be
smuggled in at the present stage of the bill. He thought
it the dut y of the house to support the recommendation of the
select committee up stairs and reject the clause.

Mr. SHERIDAN supported the amendment. •
Mr. lIUBI3ARD said he was asking for nothing novel
or unjust in the amendment he proposed. He was sur-
prised that he should be charged with smuggling in the
amendment.

After a few words from Mr. E. JAMES and Sir F. KELLY.
The committee divided on the question that the additional
clause be read a second time, when there appeared—
