The annual meeting of the shareholders in this
railway was held this afternocn at Euston-square
Station ; Mr. J. SCOTT in the chair.

Roche, the gaoler of the court, said that the prisoner
was a very respectable young man, who had frequently
protected his mother from the violence and outrageous
conduct of Price, who had been convicted 20 times for
assaulting Lis wife and others.

The report and the statement of accounts, already
published, were deemed satisfactory and were adopted.
A dividend at the rate of 41- per cent, was agreed to,
and the meeting shortly after terminated.

Mr. Yardley said a sore perverse and violent man
than Price bad never come before him, and that he bad
been compelled to send hive to prison continually for
as3aults. He had no doubt that it would turn out that
Price was the aggressor.
The prisoner said, that was so. He left 61. for the
support of his mother and sister while he was out in the
Crimea with the Army Works Corps, and his step-fatber
lived on the money and would do no work. Yesterday
Price commenced beating his mother, and he (the priso-
ner) in protecting her, beat his mother's husband, and
would do so again if he saw his mother ill•used.
Roche—P rice is an excellent tradesman, but be will
not work while he can live on the industry of his son-in- I
law.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.)

IN RR C. J. MARL.
A meeting was held under the estate of this bankrupt,
the well known ship-builder, at Blackwell. The meeting
was held to take into consideration a proposition under
the 230th section of the act to effect a composition, but
since the meeting was advertised in the Gazette, a sale
of a portion of the property has taken place, in conse-
quence of which, a notice was inserted in some of the
pm daily papers, signed by Messrs. Linklater, the solici-
tors to the bankrupt, that the present meeting would
not be held. This notice, however, was not considered
sufficient, and Mr. Lowrance, the solicitor for the assig-
neee, and several of the creditors, were in attendance.
The original object of the meeting, of course, could
not be carried out, and a discussion ensued as to costs,

COWARDLY ASSAULT ON A WI➢E BY HER HUSBAND.
—THE EFFECTS OF DRUNKENNESS.—BantueI Deuck, a
corn porter, who trembled much from excessive drink-
ing, was brought up charged with committing a cowardly
assault on Jane Deucb, his wife. The complainant, a
decent-looking female, said she had been"married to the
prisoner seventeen years, and he gained a very good
living as a corn porter, but he expended nearly all his
money in drink, leaving her and her three children nearly
destitute. For the last fourteen months he had been
continually drunk—in fact she believed he had not been
sober a moment during that period. They had lodgings
at 26, York-street, Blackfriars-road, and his disgraceful
conduct was an annoyance to all the neighbourhood, as
hawas continually ill using her.
The )tagistrate asked her when was the last time he
ill used her, and she reluctantly replied that en Sunday
afternoon he came home drunk, and, without any pro-
vocation, knocked her down. He endeavoured to push
her down stairs amidst the ,screams of the children, but
fortunately her landlord came to her assistance and pre-
vented him. He was mad drunk, and she was compelled
to call in the police for her Protection:
Edward Page, the landlord of the house in which the
prisoner and his wife lodged, said that whenever her
husband came home he was drunk, and then he beat and
knocked her about. On Sunday he heard her cry out
"murder," and the children scream out, which induced
witness to go up to her protection. He (the defendant)
was se intoxicated that he was compelled to send for a
constable and give him into, custody.
The Magistrate asked the woman whether her bus•
band 'ever used her with great violence
She replied in the negative. She did not wish to send
him to prison. All she required was protection from
his violence. She believed if he was bound over he
would reform his habits.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.

The prisoner declared that he would join the Tee-
totallers directly he got his liberty, and be would never
njure his wife again.

The Magistrate said had it not been for the wife's in•
tercession, he would have sent him to prison for a long
period, but as it was he must find two sureties to keep
the peace for six months.

ACTION AGAINST A RAILWAY

COMPANY.

-...-----
A case of considerable importance to men of business
travelling on railways, and the public generally, as oleo
to railway companies, came on for trial before C. J.
Gale, Esq., judge of the county court of Hampshire, at
Basingstoke, on Saturday, the 20th ult., Mr. Malford,
a timber-merchant, residing at Greywell, sued the Lon-
don and South- Western Railway Company for the sum
of 14z. 9J. under the following circumstances. On the
Bth of May last, Mr. Maiford having business to trail-
/
sact at Godalmiug, in Surrey, obtained a ticket at the
Winchfield station on the Southampton line to go by
the up-traits to Woking, where be intended to obtain
another ticket to go by the down-train from Woking to
Godalluing, which leaves the former at 11.3 a.m. On
the up-train arriving at Winchfield, it was 20 minutes
bellied its regular time, so that on its arrival at Woking
the dowt-train had left the station and gone on to Go-
dalining. Mr. Malford's bu-iaess being pressing, instead
of waiting for the next train to take him on to G-odal-
i»ing, he hired a horse and chaise, kr which he had to pay
14s. 93,, and which sum he now sought to recover by this
action. These facts being proved on the part of the plain-
tiff, and not disputed by the company, Mr. Greenfield,
of 'Winchester, solicitor, who appeared for the com.
pany, contended that they were not liable, inasmuch as
the delay was not occasioned by the neglect or miscon-
duct of the company's servants, but by causes over which
they had no contr,,l. The guard of the train who had
travelled with it on the day in question fr3m Southamp-
ton to Waterloo was then called by Mr. Greenfield, who
proved that the lamming of that day had been very wet,
and a strong north east wir.d prevailed throughout the
whole day, so that the driver found it impossible to pro-
pel the engine (although in good working order) at its
proper speed against the combined effects of the wet
rails and the strong adverse wind. The driver was in
attendance to prove the same. After the guard bad
given his evidence the learned judge intimated to Mr.
King, of Basingstoke, solicitor fur the plaintiff, that he
thought the defence set up by Mr. Greenfield on behalf
of the company was a complete answer to the case ; but
Mr. King contended that it was the duty of the driver
under tho circumstances to have put on more steam, or
to have telegraphed to the down train at Woking to stop
there until the up train arrived. Both of these points,
however, were over-ruled by.the learned judge, one on
the ground that the course suggested might have been
attended with danger to the passengers on the up train
—the other, that the company had no right to detain
the down train beyond its usual time for starting. He
therefore gave judgment for the defendants with costs.
