CITY SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)

WOODS Y. CBAGGS-IMPORTANT QUESTION UNDER
TIIE BANKRUPTCY LAW.

Mr. T. Beard, of Basinghall-street, for the plaintiff, said
he withdrew from the case, as he underttood defendant
pleaded a certificate of discharge of the Court of Bank-
ruptcy. He said that the bill upon which his client had
taken out the summons was given but one week before the
bankruptcy.
Defendant—A year since I was summoned to this court
by the plaintiff upon this very bill, and upon my appearing
war informed there was no plaintiff. Now lam again sum-
moned, and again no plaintiff makes his appearance.
Mr. Beard—l do not think defendant pleaded bankruptcy
on the last occasion.

His Honour—Until the fee is paid, I cannot entertain
any discussion upon the subject; but I think it is too bad to
harass a man who has been already relieved from this debt.
Defendant can use his discretion; but I think he should
pay the hearing fees and take his chance of the applcation.
Mr. Beard—We were not aware that defendant could
plead bankruptcy.
His Honour—Oh ! It's too bad. Defendant has good
ground for complaint.
Defendant then left, but not paying the hearing fees the
case was struck out.

EXETER AND CREDITON.

The half-;;early meeting of this company was also held at
the same place, and with the same chairman.
Toe capital account showed the total receipts to have been
£113,300 and the expenditure £112,323 lls. ld., showing a
balance of /976 Bs. 11d.
The revenue account, as shown by the Bristol and Exe-
ter Company (who work the line), for the past six months
gave the fallowing results :—lteceipts from passengers,
/2,873 2s. 31. ; front goods, /1,281 ss. 10d. ; and parcels,
/134 7s. 51, making a total 0f14,288 15s. 7(1.; from which
had to be deducted for working, as per agreement, £2,927
Os. 4d., leaving a balance to be carried t) the credit of this
company of £1,3610x. 31, which has been absorbed by pay-
ing interest on the preference shares.
The accounts living been received the meeting was made
special, and the directors authorised to raise £6,666, or any
part thereof, on bond cr debenture, under the company's
Act of 1850, for the purpose of placing the line in a proper
tate of repair.
The usual vote closed the proceedings.

BIDEFORD EXTENSION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was then held
—,Mr. Sherland again presiding.
Tile report said—" The directors having previously assured
the proprietors of their earnest desire to curtail all expenses,
and to discharge the first cost liabilities, without recourse
to preference shares, or extended powers, have the satisfac-
tion to report that every claim has been adjusted equitably,
and, it is hope
d,justly to all parties concerned; and the capital
account will now be closed. The lessees, as well to the public
as the proprietors, have given every facility and conve-
nience in the working of the line; and if the very low fares
imposed may ,not have been remunerative, an increase from
41,748 passengers in the corresponding half-year of 1857, to
45,305 passeng era in 1858, shows a progressive improvement
in the traffic. In common with railways generally, the
goods traffic has fallen off. The returns show a gross
receipt from the Ist January to the 30th June, 1858, of
£1,288125. 2d., against £1,295 7s. Bd. in the corresponding
half-year of 1835.-
The accoants showed the total receipts to have bee
£47,215 14s. 9d. and the expenditure £52,108 4s. ld.
The report and accounts were adopted.

CROSSED CHEQUES.

A daily flood of letters, says The Times, continues to
attest the interest ft-lt in the crcssed-cheque question. Out
of the whole the following is the only one that endeavours
to defend the clause introduced in the new Act at the
instance of the hankers to exempt themselves from respon-
sibility :

"Temple, Aug. 20.
" Sir,—l have read in your city article to-day an argu-
ment in support of the proposition that where a banker has
Paid a forged cheque, the forgery having been by erasing the
crossing, he should be made to hear the loss, as in the case
of any other forgery. Ido not agree with the proposition,
and with your leave will state two reasons in support of
nay opinion :—First, in the case of an ordinary forgery,
there is no default in the customer whose name is forged,
and, therefore, there is no reason why he should suffer,
whereas in the case of a forgery effected by erasing the
crossing the holder of the cheque must have lost it, or it
Must have been stolen or obtained from him in some way,
and be is in default for not taking- better care of it, and of
'hatever degree his want of care may have been, he seeks
to throw the consequences of it, or the danger to arise
from it, from his own shoulders on to those of the hanker.
Secondly, the bolder of a crossed cheque, who is the loser of
It and the sufferer from a forgery effected by erasing the
crossing, is not, as a general rule, the drawer of the cheque,
1.e., the customer of the banker who pays, but is some one
to whom the cheque has been paid and who has no connexion
with the banker, and he, not the drawer of the cheque, is
the person for whose convenience it is crcssr (I. That being
So. it seems to me that even if the b3oker ought to be
affected by his customer's carelessness, be ought not to he
Placed in danger or to be affected by the carelessness cf one
to whom he is a total stranger.
" I am not a banker, but the customer cf a Milker, and
It seems tome that when the question above referred to is
being publicly discussed, the above arguments are worthy of
being brnight forward.—Your obedient servant,
"J. G."

TOE QUEEN'S VISIT TO LEEDS.—In consequence
of the gathering of the Sunday school children on the visit
of her Majesty, a rehearsal of the hymns to be sung on the
occasion hock place in the Cloth Hall yard, on Saturday
evening. It is believed there were about 15,000 children
and teachers present. The public were also admitted, and
during Jthe evening there could not, altogether, be less
than 20,000 persons in the yard.—Leeds Mercury.
PRINCESS'S TOEATRE.—The farewell benefit of
Miss Carlotta Leclerc(' last evening, at the Princess's, was a
Complete ovation for that accomplished and favourite actress.
At the fall of the curtain the fair beneficiaire was enthusias-
tically called for, and being led Corward by Mr. Walter Lacy,
a brilliant shower of bouquets descended on the stage emkst
universal acclamations, as a pnrting homage to one whose
presence will be sensibly missed in the ensuing season. The
theatre will clot? for g khort pealed on the 4th of klepteinber.

WATERFORD AND LIMERICK.

The 26th half-yearly meeting of this company was held
in Waterford on Tuesday—Mr. J. Connolly in the chair.
The report stated that the receipts for six months to June
30, 1858, amounted to £29,118, the working expenses to
£12,858, or 441 per cent. of the receipts ; leaving £16,260.
The receipts for six months to June 30, 1857, amounted to
£28,324, the working expenses being £14,544, or 51 1-3 per
cent., leaving £13,760 • showing an increase in favour of
last half-year of 12,48'0. The total income amounted to
£29,118, and the total expenditure, including law costs and
interest, to £14,441, leaving a balance of £14,677 to pay
interest on debentures and dividend on preference shares.
The result is most encouraging, as it has been attained not-
withstanding the depressed state of trade; the decrease in the
receipts of almost all other railways, the very high rate of
interest paid on bonds and securities in the Orly part of
the year, when the difficulty of procuring money Was i
deed great, and the insane-competition between fire two
great Irish trunk lines for the Limerick traffic. The
directors feel deep regret that they are unable to an-
nounce the recommendation of a dividend to the holders
of original stock. Until the preference capital shall have
been issued the receipts from revenue must, to a consder-
able extent, be applied to liquidate the pressing liabilities of
the company. The directors have succeeded in establishing
a daily communication between Waterford and Milford-
Haven, from which they expect very favourable results. The
Post-office authorities have not yet consented to de,petch a
daily mail from London to the south of Ireland by the Mil-
ford route ; nor have they yet given the carriage of the
night mails to this company.
The CHAIRMAN congratulated the meeting on the plo-
specte Of the company. They had succeeded in reducing the
working expenses. In reference to the speech made by Sir
E. Macclonnell, he denied that the company ever offered to
dispose of the line, and said there were no grounds fer Sir
Edward's observations, as far as the Waterford and Lime-
rick line was concerned. He concluded by moving the
adoption of the report.
Mr. LEVY seconded the motion. He said they expected
next year to earn at least £60,000, which would enable them
to pay a dividend to the original shareholder;.
Mr. EATON condemned the course pursued by tire direc-
tors, es calculated to lower still more the stock of the com-
pany.
The CHAIRMAN briefly replied to the several points that
had been adverted to, and put the report, which was unani-
mously adopted.
Mr. E. POWER proposed that Mr. O'Connor's resignation
be accepted, and that he be presented, on retiring from the
office of secretary, with a gratuity of £5OO.
Mr. W. Meeecomsoez seconded the resolution, which was
put and carried by acclamation.
Thanks were voted to Mr. Connolly, and the proceedings
terminated.

BIDEFORD EXTENSION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was then held
—Mr. Sherlund again presiding.
The report said—" The directors having previously assured
the proprietors of their earnest desire to curtail all expenses,
and to discharge the first cost liabilities, without rtcourse
to preference share, or extended pow.crs, have the satisfac-
tion to report that every claim hao been adjusted evitably,
and, it is hoped, justly to all partiesconcernel ; and the capital
account will naw be closed. The lessees, as well to the public
as the proprietors, have given every ficility and conve-
nience in the working of the line; and if the very low fares
imposed may not have been remunerative, an increase from
-41,748 passengers in the corresponding half-year of 18.57, to
45,303 passengers in 1858, shows a progressive impr,ivement
in the traffic. In common with railways generally, the
goods traffic has fallen off. The returns show a gross

her familiarity with Mr. Barnet. Be mentioned about
Mr. Barnet putting his feet in the railway carriage on Mrs.
Ruck's. He said that several of the railway official.; put
their heads in at the windows and said, "There's the woman
who bilked her husband." He said that even the stable boys
remarked it, and that when she came to London there was
no prostitute in London more indiscriminate in her acts of
infidelity. He also mentioned about his wine having been
drugged. I regarded these as delusions. I cannot say his
evidence to-day is satisfactory. I don't think the delusions are
entirely removed from his mind. I think after Mr. Ruck's
examination to-day I am bound to say he should be allowed
considerable latitude with a gentle supervision to see if these
hallucinations have in reality left bis mind. I cannot take
on myself the grave responsibility of recommending that he
should be set entirely free.
By the Commissioner—His evasive answers are not such
as to warrant me in recommending that he should be set at
liberty. He is no doubt better, and I hope he will eventually
recover.

The i,-lommissioner—The question for the jury is whether
thcse delusions are still in his mind.
Witness—On that I cannot give an opinion.
The Commissioner—Are the grounds on which he says
his mind has been divested of these delusions satisfactory to
your mind ?
Witness—No, they are not.
Dr. Conolly was then recalled, and stated that having
heard the evidence of the alleged lunatic, the opinion which
he had formed bad become modified, but not altered.
Mr. James having objected to Dr. Conolly giving evi-
dence of this nature, and thus usurping tho province of the
jury,
Tne evidence was not pressed.
Mr. Ruck was then recalled by the Commissioner, and
stated in the most positive terms that he had never torn
his clothes, but believed they had been torn by Mary Jones
when she was locked up in the dining-room.
This doted the case in support of the allegations of
lunacy ; and
Mr. Sergeant B 111 antine having summed up the evidence,
The proceedings were again adjourned until ;this morning
at ten o'clock, when Mr. Edwin James will address the jury
on behalf of Mr. Ruck, in support of whose case evidence
will afterwards be adduced.

NORTH DEVON.

The half-yearly meeting of nil company was held at the
offices, in Gresham House, yesterday—Mr. Sherland in the
chair.
The report (an abiiract of which has already appeared)
having been read,
The CHAIRMAN said he had but little to add to the state-
ments in the report. They had had the report of the traffic
manager up that morning, and it fully confirmed their anti-
cipations as to the increase of their traffic. By the
weekly return they tnade the increase £303, but when it
was finally made up, as it was by the teethe manager's
report, they found it was £325. He had no doubt they
would now regain their traffic, perhaps even more rapidly
than they had lost it during the past six months. The
South-Wes. ern Exeter line would probably be opened within
the next 18 months, and would no doubt add to their
traffic. The steam-boats alluded to in the report
belonged to individuals, the North Devon Company
having nothing to do with them. Indeed, under their Act
of Parliament they could not, but he thought the boats
were likely to prove very beneficial to them. He bad
recently been over the line, and found it in good order, and
working with great regularity. It was true there was some
little complaint relative to the slowness of their trains, but,
looking at the nature of the curves on the line, the engineer
thought it might be dangerous were they to increase their
speed. He begged to move that the reports and accounts be
received and adop!ed.
The motion having been seconded, was carried unani-
' mously, and the dividend, at the rate of M. Bd. per cent.
per annum on the ordinary stock, and 11 13s. on the B
stock, declared. .

A vote of thlnks having been given to the chairman, that
gentleukan, in acknovvledging the compliment, stated that
they had every prospect of increasing their traffic, as Ilfra-
combe and other waterinp,t-places on the line were becoming
so popular that it was difficult to get a lotlging.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, FEB. it;.
THE TRIAL OF THE MAYO PRIESTS.
The trial of Father Conway commences to-day, and no
exertion is being spared to give to what ought to be a very
common-place affair all the pomp and circumstance of a State
trial. Yesterday workmen were busily employed in erectipg
barricades in the ball of the courts to prevent the rush of the
general public—a precaution which was not taken since the
memorable trial of the Repeal conspirators in 1844, and
admission within the sacred precincts of the Queen's Bench
is only to be obtained by tickets bearing the signature of the
High Sheriff. Nevertheless, the matter excites but little in-
terest, and were it not for the preliminary puffing of the
man Catholic journals the case of the rev. defendant would,
probably, have been disposed of before comparatively empty
benches. The Chief Justice took his seat yesterday for the
first time since his recent domestic affliction. It would;be
quite idle to speculate on the number of days which the trial
is likely to occupy, but no one calculates on the finale before
a fortnight from the present date. Sl.eeches of undue pro-
portion—the great social evil of Ireland—forbid the idea of a
nearer period.
At two o'clock the Attorney-Ge:ueral concluded his address,
after being on his legs three hours. Witnesses were then
called for the Crown, and Mr. French is uow under examina-
tion. He identified the traverser, and proved that after
mass in Ballinasloe he used strong language against ColOnel
Higgins.
THE VICEROYALTY.
The non-abolitionists had their field-day yesterday at Ithe
Rotunda, and the muster on the occasion was both large land
influential—including the Earl of Howth, Lord Talbot de
Malahide, some members of Parliament, and a fair sprinkling
of professional g ntry. The chief resolution of a seriesfwas
proposed by Lord Howth, and was to the effect that'Mr.
Roebuck's motion, coupled with Mr. Horsman's attack on
the office of the Viceroy, made it a duty on the
effort to
