RAILWAY COMPANY.

Mr. Atkinson was counsel for the plaintiff, and
Mr. Pollock, Q.C., and another learned gentleman
appeared for the defendants.

The action was brought by the plaintiff, a nur-
seryman, at Camberwell, to recover £73 2s. sd. fur
loss sustained through the negligence of the com-
pany's secretary. The defendants, who did not
deny the negligence, merely pleaded that they had
fully satisfied the loss of the plaintiff by the pay-
ment into court of a sum of £4O.

The plaintiff was examined, and stated that he
had been in business as a nurseryman for 40 years.
On the 7th of November he went to Bickley, in
Kent, mad purchased 1,790 plants, at 755. per 100.
These were left at the station, and the plaintiff stated
that he would send for them the next day, when he
supposed they would duly arrive at the station in
his neighbourhood. lie sent six men for them next
thy, but there was no account of them, and they
were not delivered until the 18th of November, and
were in so damaged a stite from the effects of the
heat that they were totally unfit for planting. He
immediately waited on the manager of the com-
pany, who advised him to plant the trees,
and assured him that the company would
compensate him for the loss he might suffer
through the delay in the delivery of the plant. Ho
did plant the trees, but 891 of them perished, upon
which he applied to the company for £26 compen-
sation, and they sent two gentlemen to inspect his
grounds, who admitted that he was a considerable
loser. He found out afterwards that his losses far
exceeded what he originally supposed, and he made
the present claim for the plants which werede-
stroyed, expenses, and the loss of his men's time.
Before commencing legal proceedings he applied to
the company for compensation, and was informed,
in reply, that as their trunk line was crossed by
other lines they did not know exactly how far
they were to be liable until they had made in-
quiries.

Witnesses were called to prove the value of the
property and the other facts in the plaintiff's state-
ment, and to show that he was a loser quite to
the amounts he claimed.

His lordship said that, after the evidence, he
xusted the defendants would not proceed furtherin
,he case.

Mr. POLLOCK said ho could not resist the evi-
dence, and would offer no further opposition.
The jury then found a verdict for the plaintiff for
£33 2s. 5d., the difference between the amount
claimed and the money paid into court.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

OLD COURT.

- -
The July sessions commenced to-day.
The Recorder, in his charge to the jury said it
was satisfactory that the calendar did not present a
very heavy appearance. One of the principal cases
that would have to be disposed of was the indict-
ments against persons charged with acts arising
out of the tailors strike. The law as it at present
stood did not interfere with either the masters or the
men with respect to combining together for the pur-
pose of deciding the rate of wages to be paid or re-
ceived. The masters bad a right to band themselves
together for the purpose of determining the
rate of wages they would pay for certain
work, and the men, on the other hand, had as much
right to combine together to decide the rate of
wages they would consent to, but when acts of inti-
midation occurred, then the law came into effect,
and it was this point that they would have to deal
with. Various acts of intimidation were charged
by the masters against the men, and by the men
against the masters' association, and it would be
for the jury to determine whether there was suffi-
cient evidence to justify a trial before a public jury.
The jury then retired to their room to consider
the examination of the witnesses. It is expected
that the principal indictments will not be taken
during the present session, but some of the minor
charges will be taken, and, in the event of a convic-
tion, and an undertaking being given to stop the
picketting system the indictments against the Presi-
dent and officers of the Working Men's Associa-
tion will stand over till next session.

The Trial of Eedgely for the alleged Leeds Bank
'orgeries will not, it is expected, be taken during
lie present session.

TILE SULTAN AND MS DlET.—Amongst the nu-
merous questions which have been discussed in connec-
tion with the Sultan's visit to this country is how his Ma-
jesty will manage with regard to his meat, and what the
Right Hon. the Lord Mayor will provide for his Mahome -
tau guests at the civic banquet. By the Mahomotan law a
" true believer" must not eat meat which has been slaugh-
tered by Christians, since they do not invoke the Deity
while slaying cattle for food ; and even if they did, the
Maliometan requirement is "to invoke the triune God." A
"true believer" can only cat meat killed either by Mos-
lems or Jews, who, while slaying any beast for consump-
tion, never fail to offer up a prayer to God. It is certain
that the Sultan will not partake of any meat unless killed
under tho above conditions ; but it is possible that his
Majesty may have brought amongst his retinue a slayer
of his own, or will abstain from moat during his visit to
the land of the giaours.

RECOVERY OF A LOST BODY.—About a fortnight
since a gentleman, named Le Las, was supposed to have
been drowned while bathing off Southsea. His clothes
were found in a boat ho had hired, and a reward of £lO was
offered for the recovery of the body. On Thursday night
two watermen found the remains of the unfortunate gentle-
man floating at Spithead. Tho body was in a shocking con-
dition. It is supposed that the heavy saluting, and conse-
quent concussion, caused the body to rise. An inquest was
hold last night.

The late John Scarves, Esq., of Exeter, has left
the residue of his property to his widow, with a
power of appointment over the same by will, but in
default thereof it is to be divided amongst 25 cha-
ritable institutions, chiefly at Exeter.
