SMITH V. THE CHANNEL ISLANDS TELEGRAPH
COMPANY.
This was an action brought by Mr. E. T. Smith,
lessee of Drury-lane Theatre, to recover damages
against the defendants for breaking up land in his
possession to lay down, without his permission, an
electric telegraph cable, for the purpose of connect-
ing it with the Channel Islands electric telegraph.
The defendants pleaded, first, not guilty ; and,
secondly, that the plaintiff was not possessed of the
land in question.
Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr. 7ohnson appeared
for the plaintiff; Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Malcolm
conducted the case for the defendants.

It appeared from the evidence in support of the
plaintiff's case that he took Pennsylvania Castle, at
Portland, near Weymouth, as a residence, and that
defendants' servants entered his ground without his
permission, and excavated a trench of about 200

yards long, for the purpose of laying down a cable
in connexion with the Channel Islands Telegraph.
The superintendent had previously applied to a
freeholder on the land for permission to do the
work, and was informed by him that Mr. Smith
was the occupier, and cautioned against taking any
measures for laying down the telegraph in the land
without previously making an arrangement with,
and obtaining the sanction of, that gentleman. The
matter was brought under Mr. Smith's notice, and
was remonstrated against by him, whereupon the
project of laying down the cable was given up, and
the plaintiff now clainied £l5 for the damage done
to his land by the defendants in cutting the trench.
He had, however, offered to stay proceedings if the
company would contribute something to the Wey-
mouth Institution, and on their having declined to
do so he brought the matter into court.
On the part of the defendants, it was contended
that the company were not liable, as Messrs. Newall
had contracted with them to lay down the cable at
their own cost and risk. Evidence was also given
that the actual damage done to the plaintiff's land
did not exceed £5.

Mr. Justice Wightman having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
damages £lO.
The other cases tried were interesting only to the
parties immediately concerned.

TEA.—The public sales of this article were brought to a
termination yesterday, and Ml prices were obtained for
most descriptions:
SUGAR.—The market continues dull, and for some qua-
lities prices have further receded. Stocks on hand, how-
ever, have slightly increased. In the Refined Market the
transactions have been very limited, and prices have exhi-
bited a downward tendency.
COFFEE.-The deliveries in this article have been unim-
portant, and confined to immediate
,requirements for home
consttnription, and notwithstanding the deficiency of about
3,400 tons in the stock compared with those of the same
period of last year, prices show little signs of improvement.
RlCE.—There has been a moderate demand, and a few
parcels have changed hands at about previous rates.
SALTPETRE.—The market is dull, and the few dealings
recorded show little variation in values. Bengal 6 per cent.
refraction sold at 45s 6d per cwt.
TALLOW.—The market continues finn, but the dealings
have been on a very moderate scale. The demand for im-
mediate oonsumption, however, assists to keep up values.
P.Y.C., on the spot, is quoted 55s 3d; June, 55s 3d, and
last three months 56s per cwt.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
(Before Justices Williams, Erle, Crompton, Crowder, Hill,
and Willes.)
WILLIAMS V. SMITH.
This was a writ of error from the Court of Exchequer.
It arose under the Interpleader Act, and the question raised
was, whether Irish cattle and pears, to the value of £309
19s. 6d., bona fide purchased by the plaintiff in June, 1856,
is to be prejudiced by an unexecuted writ of fi. fa. in the
hands of the Sheriff of Gloucestershire.
Their Lordships were unanimously of opinion that the
decision of the Court of Exchequer finding that the Act had
no retrospective operation, and that the fi. fa. in the hands
of the Sheriff before the passing of the Act was preferable
to the purchaser's claim. The decision of the Court of
Exchequer was affirmed with costs. Their lordships re-
lied chiefly on the decision in the case of Woolley v. Jack-
son (Queen's Bench), and held that the rule of construction,
that the general words in an act were not to be construed
retrospectively was right.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
His Honour sat to-day for the first time since his long

This bankrupt was described as of Chatteris, in the Isle
of Ely, brickmaker, and to-day was appointed for his last

£6,200 ; surplus, October, 1857, £857 ; profits, £871; rents
received, £304. Creditors' general debts, £162; doubtful,

Messrs. Abbott, New-Inn, were the solicitors to the
assignees, and Mr. Law, of Gray's Inn, for the bankrupt.
The examination was adjourned for two months by consent.

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

IN RE LOVELL-JUDGMENT,

This bankrupt was described as a currier and leather
seller, of Northampton, and his honour gave judgment on
the question of certificate.
The case was heard a few days since, when Mr. Bagley
opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt had fraudulently
obtained a large quantity of goods when he was hopelessly
in debt, and that he had also made a fraudulent preference
to a Mr. Sheffield, from whom he had obtained £llO on an
acceptance falling due, when he was on the verge of bank-
ruptcy, and then on being pressed the bankrupt gave up
property more than sufficient to cover the debt, and left
only a very small dividend for the rest of the creditors.
His Honour said that, in his opinion, the obtaining goods
when there was not the slightest chance of being able to
pay for them, was a fraud ; but in several cases the
decisions of the Lords Justices had held it did not, and in
deference to their opinion he would give the bankrupt the
benefit of the doubt on his mind, as to whether, in this case,
there had not been fraud. On the second point, as to the
fraudulency, it had been urged that the bankrupt had acted
under pressure, and therefore there was no fraudulent pre-
ference. His honour, however, said the bankrupt's conduct
had been most scandalous and disgraceful, and suspended
the certificate (third class) for twelve months. Protection
for, three months.

Henry Fordham, a police constable, stated that he sal
the prisoner seated en the steps of a door-at the corner of
Spectacle-alley, Whitechapel. She appeared to be ye/
tipsy, and he lifted her up, and looked under her cloak and
found in her hands a pair of men's boots well studded with
iron nails which he believed had been stolen from some
excavator or other labourer, and she refused to answer hil
questions, and became very abusive and noisy. He then
conveyed her to the station house.

THE NAVY.

Her Majesty's steam yacht Victoria and Albert,
Captain the Hon. J. Denman, left Portsmouth bar-
bour yesterday morning for her moorings off
Osborne, to be in attendance upon her Majesty and
the Court.

The Neptune, 91, screw, Captain Sir W. Hoste,
Bart., is expected to proceed to Spithead about the
17th inst. She is manning very successfully.
The Fire Queen paddle-steamer, Master Com-
manding F. W. Paul, was undocked at Portsmouth
yesterday.
The Urgent screw troopship, Commander H. W.
Hire, will move out of the steam basin at Portsmouth
this morning to a berth in the harbour, where she
will complete her outfit for further service.
The Supply screw storeship, Master-Commander
W. H. Balliston, sailed from Spithead early yester-
day morning for Woolwich.
Spithead and St. Helen's Roads are at the pre-
sent time entirely denuded of shipping, not a single
pendant of any description being in the range of
sight outside Portsmouth harbour.
The Austrian brig Splendido, Capt. G. Visin, from
Singapore Feb. 2, and the Cape of Good Hope April
15, took refuge in Plymouth Sound on Saturday
evening. She was bound with a valuable cargo of
tin, Gambier pepper, cassia, hides, and rattans for
Trieste, but when about to enter the Straits of Gib-
raltar some three weeks since, met a friendly Ame-
rican trader, the captain of which kindly informed
her of the existence of the present war. It is stated
that having left his port before the date of declara-
tion the ship and cargo would have been exempt
under certain contingencies ; now that she has en-
tered a neutral port she is open to all liabilities
should hostilities be commenced. Several Austrian
merchant vessels which called for orders at Fal-

Next to the University contest was this race,
which by many was looked upon in that light from
the position either crew held upon its respective
river. It made the third eight-oared race at Henley,
and such things are unusual even at great regatta
meetings. First Trinity were the fvourites at 5
to 4. Oxford had the Berkshire side. A very
rapid start was succeeded by the Cambridge men
taking a slight lead, which they so increased, not-
withstanding the desperate labour of their oppo-
nents, that they took their water within half a mile,
and won by two lengths.

CORN EXCHANGE.
A fair average supply of English wheat, partly left oVeer
r
from Monday, was on offer in to-day's market. There
very little inquiry for any kinds, nevertheless Monday
prices were supported.
In foreign wheat, the show of which was extentive,
pet

per quarter lower than last week.
Floating cargoes of grain werevery dull, but not cheaper'
The barley trade was very dull, at about previous cur'

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE LOVELL.-JUDGMENT.

This bankrupt was described as a currier and leather
seller, of Northampton, and his honour gave judgment on
the question of certificate.
The case was heard a few days since, when Mr. Bagley
opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt had fraudulently
obtained a large quantity of goods when he was hopelessly
in debt, and that he had also made a fraudulent preference
to a Mr. Sheffield, from whom he had obtained £llO on an
acceptance falling due, when he was on the verge of bank-
ruptcy, and then on being pressed the bankrupt gave up
property more than sufficient to cover the debt, and left
only a very small dividend for the rest of the creditors.

His Honour said that, in his opinion, the obtaining goods
when there was not the slightest chance of being able to
pay for them, was a fraud ; but in several cases the
decisions of the Lords Justices had held it did not, and in
deference to their opinion he would give the bankrupt the
benefit of the doubt on his mind, as to whether, in this case,
there had not been fraud. On the second point, as to the
fraudulency, it had been urged that the bankrupt had acted
under pressure, and therefore there was no fraudulent pre-
ference. His honour, however, said the bankrupt's conduct
had been most scandalous and disgraceful, and suspended
the certificate (third class) for twelve months. Protection
for three months.

CONVICTION.
The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of
015 BARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORTNG REVA
LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and.
upon applicatiOn in 18,54 for protection, the nigh Court of
Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper

my article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du
Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro-
prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above
reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor-
mation of any breach of the injunction. An intelligent
