COMPENSATION CLAIM.

At the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion-square, yester-
day, before Mr. Under-Sheriff James Burchell and
a special jury, a compensation case, " Chapman V.
the Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway
Company,"unh
e was heard. The Common Sergeant and
mr. B
were for Mr. Edward Henry Chapman,
governor and director of the Bank of England, who
appeared as the claimant; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., with
whom was Mr. Gadsden, represented the company.
The company required a small portion of Hurring-
hay Park, the property of Mr. Chapman, at Horn-
sey, where he resided. They had taken a portion' of
his property on a former occasion, and the value was
£56, at the rate of £l,OOO au acre, and £360 was
agreed to be paid as the compensation. The estate
consisted of about 190 acres, and taken as a whole was
worth £5OO an acre. The object of the company in
taking the portion which now formed the subject of the
inquiry was to make available certain surplus land and
to make a coal station. The learned Common Serge
the
ant,
in describing the case to the jury, stated that
estate wasworth £lOO,OOO. Mr. Chapman, one of the
governors of the Bank of England, and largely con-
nected with the commerce of the city of London, had
no desire to part with the portion of the property
company left his property alone. 'They had taken

of the estate, on which a great nuisance would occur

he value of the land das about £335, and the damage by the severance
400. Three witnesses—Mr.
from £1,200 to £l,
ITuckett, Air. Driver, and Mr. Prickett, valuers—
were called in support of the claim. Mr. Hawkins

declined to call witnesses for the company. !the
Common Sergeant, in summing up the evidence,
he
(lid
dwelt on the nuisance that would be created by a
coal station on a gentleman's
I\fr. Chapman had made no claim ;not wish

to part with his property, but it had been taken I
under compulsory powers, and the jury would bear
in mind that it was land not required for the ordi-
nary purposes of the railway, but to make available
some surplus land, and a great nuisance would be
caused to Mr. Chapman. The embankment, for
which the other portion of the land had been taken,
was adorned, and the object of the present portion
required was to form a coal station, and no doubt
great traffic would take place, work would be done
day and night, and it was impossible to estimate

the amount of depreciation to the
the estate. It was for the jury to
value what would compensate Mr. Chajean
the great nuisance that would be inflicted on
by taking the corner of his property near London,
and a cottage which was necessary to prevent persons
trespassing on the estate. Mr. llawkins, in address-
ing the jury, referred with much satisfaction, he said,
to a diction of the learned Under-Sheriff, who
now presided, that one fact was of more value
than many opinions. All the evidence was in fact
speculative opinions of the valuers who had been
called. There were two points for the consideration
of the jury—the value of the property taken, and
what was the damage, if any, to the remainder of
the estate. lie submitted that the portion taken did
not infringe the other part, and that the compensa-
tion agreed to be paid for the other part which ad-
joined the present, £350 in addition to the value of
the land, was all that could be obtained. There
was, in fact, no case of " injuriously affecting" the
rest of the land as it was called, and the question he
had raised was more for the learned Under-F,neriff
than for the jury. Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell ex-
pressed an opinion that, although the property A.
and B belonged to the company, and they now
required another portion, which might be called C,
the claimant was entitled to compensation for any
increase in damage that might arise. The learned
Common Sergeant observed that, if the place was
used for the purpose of sewage, surely Mr. Chap-
man would have a right to claim compensation.
Mr. Hawkins apprehended that it would only be for
the very small portion of land. The learned Under,
Sheriff thought that a gentleman whose property
was affected could ask the jury to consider all the
surrounding circumstances—the position of his
estate to thzart rivired by a company for public
'purposes. piaci* the case before the jury, he
said no doubt one fact was worth more than many
opinions. The jury had heard the evidence of
three gentlemen, and although they had given
their opinion, it would be recollected that no
evidence had been offered on the other side and in its
absence he would suggest their opinion was worth
the consideration of the jury and entitled to weight.
There were two questions for their consideration—
the value of the land, and the damage, if any, caused
by the severance. He had already given his opinion
on the latter. The jury would consider the points
taken, ascertain the value of the estate, and what
diminution in its value had occurred or was likely to
occur by the severance now made, and would bring
their common sense to bearon the matter. The jury
retired, and on their return estimated the value of
the land taken at £204, and awarded £225 as com-
pensation for damage to the remainder of the estate.
