The adjourned Wharncliffe meeting was held

was " A bill to authorise the Shrewsbury and
Potteries Junction Railway Company to deviate
from and to alter parts of their authorised works,
and to make new branch and junction railways
and diversion of roads in connection with their
authorised works, and to amend the ' Shrews-
bury and Potteries Junction Railway Act, 1865,'
and to authorise the admission of the said company
to participate in the ownership of the Wellington

missive bill. The second was " A bill to authorise
the Stourbridge Railway Company to construct rail-
ways to Amblecote and Cookley, and branches at
Spon-lane and Stourbridge, and to raise additional
capital, and for other purposes." The chairman

LAW INTELLIGENCE—Yesterday.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice Blackburn, and '
Justices Mellor and Shoe.)
TARNER V. WALKER.—THE CORKILILL BURGLARY.
This was a motion for a new trial under circumstances
which have already been frequently before the public. The
plaintiff is a watchmaker, carrying on business at Wilder-
ness-row, Clerkenwell, and ho brought an action to re-
cover the amount of £250 of a reward offered by Mr. Wal-
ker, the watchmaker, for information leading to the deten-
tion of the burglars, and also ..£750 for the recovery of a
portion of the same or a proportionate part of it,
and the plaintiff obtained a ♦erdict against the de-
fendant, who refused to give more than the value
of two of the watches recovered. The reward for the
conviction of the burglars was disputed on the ground that
the information supplied was too vague to have led to
the said conviction. A rule had been obtained calling on
the plaintiff to show cause why their should not be a new
trial.

Mr. Sergeant Parry now showed cause against the rule,
and Mr. Laylor followed on the same side.
Mr. D. Seymour, Q.C., replied.
The Court refused to grant a new trial, and the nile
was accordingly discharged, with leave to the defendant to
appeal.
