COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice and
Justices Blackburn, Shee, and Lush.)
BUCK V. HOWARD-RIGHT OF WAY.
Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., on behalf of the plaintiff, moved for
a rule calling on the defendant to show cause why averdict,
which he obtained at the last assizes at Leicester, in the
case which was tried before Baron Martin, should not
be set aside on the ground of misdirection by the
learned judge. -The action was brought by the
plaintiff for a trespass in going through his ground
to the injury of his cornfield. The pleas on record were
a right of public highway for all persons to go and return.
It was proved by plaintiff that the first entrance through
the ground in question was made by one of the previous
occupiers for farming purposes. The defendant, in addi-
tion to his other plea, also alleged leave and licence to the
public to go through the ground by the former occupiers,
which alone was proved.
Rule granted.
REDHEAD V. THE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY.
Mr. Manisty, Q.C., on the part of the plaintiff, moved
for a rule calling on the defendants to show cause against a
new trial in this case, which was tried at the lapt Durham
assizes, one of the principal grounds being the discovery of
new evidence since the trial. The plaintiff vas an en-
gineer living at South Shields, and the action was brought
for injuries received in travelling from Nottingham
to his own place, by the defendants' line, by an acci-
dent caused through the alleged negligence of the com-
pany's servants. The train was going at the time at high
speed, and oscillated to an extent that alarmed everybody
in the carriage with the plaintiff. When the train reached
a certain point one of the vans in the rear got off the line,
and the carriage was thrown over an embankment. A
correspondence took place between the plaintiff and the
solicitors of the defendants, and he was under the impres-
sion that the only question between them was one of the
amount of compensation, but the defendants denied their
liability. Since the trial a lady named Sharp Communi-
cated with the plaintiff, and stated that she travelled from
London to Trent in the carriage in question, which was
on fire when it arrived at the station, and one of the guards
had to throw water on the wheel to extinguish the flames.

were examined, and one of them was found very old and
defective in the welding of the tire. The defendants al-
leged that they had obtained the carriage from the North-
Western Company for the occasion, and though they did
not deny their responsibility in the use of the proper
carriages, they contended that the particular defect was
latent and of a nature that might reasonably be expected
to have escaped detection.
The court granted a rule for a new trial.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE MARQUIS TOWNSIIEND AND THE BEGGARS.—IM-
PUDENT ATTEMPTED IMPOSITION.—Harriett Callaghan was
charged before Mr. Knox with begging of the Marquis
Townshend in Charles-street, St. James's.

The Marquis Townshend said that about 12 o'clock last
night the prisoner begged of him the whole length of
Charles-street, her excuse for doing so being that she had
a daughter 14 years of age in great distress. As the pri-
soner would not cease to beg of him he gave her into cus-
tody, and then found that her alleged daughter was 16
years old, and as well as the prisoner was the worse for

drink, so that there had been an attempt to impose upon
him.

Peskett, 143 C, said that on takinc the prisoner into cus-
tody he found her as well as the girl under the influence of
drink.

The prisoner said that some one had given her and her
daughter some ale, and it had affected them, and she was
trying to get her daughter home by coaxing her, but could
not.

Mr, Knox said he considered there was something hor-
rible in the prisoner going about with her daughter begging,
and both of them being drunk. The streets must be kept
clear of such a thing, and he should commit the prisoner
for a month with hard labour.

BURGLARY.—John Brown was charged with being con-
cerned with others not in custody in breaking and entering
the shop of Mr. Cornelius Collins, 142, Dudley-street, and
stealing a quantity of boots.
The prisoner was seen by Firth, 156 F, on the stop of
the door helping another man to wrap up boots. Prisoner
and his companion managed to get away, the prisoner in
his flight dropping a bundle of boots.
The prosecutor having proved properly securing his
prisoner, and having identified the boots produced.
John Dowdell, 173 F, said he apprehended the prisoner,
and on telling him the charge he said, " All right, you
have got it up well for me; why don't you get the others?"
The prisoner was committed for trial.
