LA IV INTELLIG_ENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir X. Romilly.)
IN RE NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY COMI`.ANY EX EARTII

PEABSON.

The further hearing of this part-heard adjourned• sum 7
mons and petition was resumed by Mr. Roundel Palmer,
Q.C.,_ for the company, this morning.
The contention, is an objection taken to the title, ofMr.
Pearson to a small piece of land required by the company-
for railway purposes, under the 48th and 49th sections of
the act.
Mr. Palmer contended that the vendor had only been
about 20 years in possession, having a beneficial . interest
without a legal title.
Mr. Speed followed' on the same side. He asked for a
title of 30 years' possession to bar disabilities, 40 years to
bar objection., and 50 years' possession to give a good title
(Douglas the Northern Railway Company, 1; Keay v,
Johnstone, page 153,; and 108th section of the Railway
Act) ; and therefore that the Court caald not decree specific
performance of the contract of sale.
At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel his Honour
delivered judgment.
His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, considered that as It
appeared from the evidence of an old man named
Tomlinson, that in 1813 Thomas Pearson •the elder pur-
chased the property in question—Pentrich Mains—and let
it to a person of the name'of Taylor. Thomas Pearson the
elder, by a general devise, devised all his lands to his son,,
John Pearson, so that he has had possession of the land
from 1813 down to the date of the purchase by the com-
pany. His Honour thought that forty-six years undis-
turbed possession of the lands by the vendor was
sufficient to, enable him to give a good conveyance to the
company, His Honour made a declaration to the effect
that the title given to the company was a, good title to the
lands, and directed Mr. Pearson's sister, the co-heiress; to
concur in the' conveyance, and in the event of her -refusal
to appoint a person to concur for her in terms of the Act,
and order the dividends and purchase money to be paid
over, on completing the title; to Mr. Pearson.
Mr. Ernslie, Q.C., for Mr. Pearson, asked costs under the
50th and 215th sections of the Act.
His Honour had difficulty in giving costs in rectifying a,
title which appeared tO be bad. -He knew that in some of
the superior courts law costs were given in an unsucce.ss-r
ful defence, but he could not give full costs in this ease.
Mr. Ehnslie—With respect to Storey POre the /opinion of
the counsel 'of the company was obtained in 1837, and it
appeared that •only two-thirds of that
.property was con-
veyed to John Pearson.
His Honour remitted the bill of costs to the taxing
master to consider what was necessary and proper 'to be
.
allowed is costs.

COURT OF .BANItIiTiPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner cans.).

IMPORTANT APPLICATION•-PROTECTION AFTER REFUSAL
OP CERTIFICATE.-IN RE JAMES FOLDEN.

Mr. Bagley applied on behalf of this bankrupt, under the
following circumstances :—The bankrupt had carried on
business with his son, as fishing-tackle makers, but the
transactions. became irregular, and bankruptcy was the
result. Upon the application for certificate, his Honour
granted an immediate certificate of the second class
to the san, but wholly refused that of the ap-
plicant on the ground that he had given a bond on
behalf of a friend to Hanaway's Charity, by which
the Charity were considerable losers. The bankrupt had
the usual protection to give him an opportunity of appeal-
ing against his Honour's decision, but had endeavoured to
effect an arrangement with the trustees and the other cre-
ditors, and on affidavits his Honour granted protection for
one month, Mr. Warrand, the solicitor for the assignees
not objecting.

IN RE WHEELER. •

The Lt nn CHANCELLOR, took his seat on, the woolsack
at five o'clock.
THE lONIAN ISLANDS.
Earl ST. GERMANS seeing the nobloearl in his place,
he begged to put: a question to him. When-himoble friend
(Earl Grey) withdrew his motion for the production of the
correspondence on the subject of the lonian Islands, he did
so in consequence of the noble earl stating as a reason for not
producing tho papers that the effect would be to cast
censure on some persons who would not be in a position
to giie asatisfactory answer. , An impression had arisen
amongst the friends of Sir John Young, in which he (Earl
S 4. Gerntans) did not participate, that he was in some way
alluded to. It would however be satisfactory to Sir John
Young if the noble earl would give a denial to the state-
ment in his place in Parliament.
The Earl of DERBY said he trusted he should be able to
give the noble earl a satisfactory answer. He did not use
the word censure.
Earl ST. GERMANS that is not important. -
The Earl of DERBY—In what I did. say I had not the
slightest idea of castinganyreflection upon Sir John Young
who had acted during the time ho held office with great
ability and discretion in a case of great difficulty.
THE GREAT CLOCK.

Lord CAMPBELL said he had expected, when he re-
turned to town from circuit, to find the great clock of
the Houses of Parliament going. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.)
Although he knew the noble earl was occupied at the pre •
sent moment with matters of much greater moment—
(laughter)—hT must again ask him what steps had been
taken in the matter, and when there would be a likelihood
of the clock being in going order.
The Earl of DERBY said, after the noble lord had asked
him the question on a former occasion, he had conferred
with the Board of Works, Who in their turn had conferred
with Sir C. Barry, and he informed them that the bell was
entirely in the hands of Mr. Denison. Ho had, however,
reasonto suppose that in it very short time the clock would
be in working order. He could at any rate inform
the noble and learned lord that since he had spoken the.
clock had passed on at least half-an-hour. (Hear, hear,
and laughter.)
POOR LAW (IRLAND).
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented a petition
from the guardians of the Tsam Poor-law Union, relating
to the baptism and religious education of deserted children
in Ireland, and moved for a copy of a letter aAdressed by
the Poor-law Commissioners of Ireland to the ITuam
Union upon the subject. The noble marquis entered at
some length on the present' system, which he said engen-
dered great irritation and acrimony.
The Earl of DONOUGHMORE thought that legisla-
tion was much wanted on the subject alluded to by the
noble marquis opposite, but he must say he thought the
disadvantages of the present system had been very Much
exaggerated..
After a few words from the Marquis of CLANRICARDB
the motion was withdrawn. • '

Bill ; t:." our of a comprehensive and satisfactory Reform
Bill being int:nduced with as little delay as possible ; for
the exemption of charitable institutions from local taxation;

THE GOVEKNMENT REFORM BILL.
Mr. D. GRIFFITH gave notice that on Monday he
would ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether uni-
formity of franchise was a principle or merely a detail.
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. IV. 0. STANLEY gave notice that, in the event of
the Government Bill not being read a second time, he
would ;neve that this measure, not being satisfactory to the

of the house. (Cheers.)
SALUTING THE HOST AT MALTA.
Majqr S. KNOX askedthe Secretary of State for the Co-
lonies whether he had
.any objection to lay on the table of
the house a copy of any orders that had been sent to the
authorities at Malta relative to the garrison orders in force
in that fortress ; also, what instructions the Government
proposCd to issue in regard to soldiers being called upon to
salute the Host, or any religious personage or procession,
either in that island or any other part of her Majesty's Co-
lonial Possessions?
Sir E. B. LYTTON said that there was au old garrison
order directing the Host to be saluted, but subsequently
another order had been issued byLord Hill, and he (Sir E.
B. Lytton) had given instructions to the Governor to obey
that order, and in future the salutation alluded to would be
discontinued. The Bishop of Malta received the same
honours as a brigadier-general, and it would not be politic
to diseontinue such honours.
THANKSGIVING FOR THE
INDIA. TRANQUILLITY
OF
Sir H. VERNEY asked the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer whether he: Majesty had been advised to appoint a
day of general thail:sgiving to the Almighty for the resto-
ration of tranquillity IL: India ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
Government were of opinion that there should be some re-
cognition of the Divine favour, but her Majesty's instruc-
tions on the particular form had nut yet been received.
FEES IN I'HE TRANSFER OF LAND COURT
(IRELAND).
Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether it was the intention of the Goventment to equalise
the per-tentage fees upon the sale of pi opefty in the Trans-
fer of Land Courts in Ireland, to the amount payable on
value under £10,000?
Lord NAAS—The subject is now under cOnsideration,
with a view to equalise the fees in question.
NAVIGATION OF THE DANUBE.
Mr. DODSON asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether the European Commission, ap-
pointed under the 16th article of the Treaty of Paris, 1856,
to designate and cause to be executed the work:, necessary
below Isatcha to clear the mouths of the Danube as well as
the neighbouring parts of the sea, from the sands and other
impediments which obstruct them, in order to put that
part of the river and the said parts of the sea in the best
possible state for navigation,' had designated the works
which in its opinion were necessary ; whether those works,
or any others for effecting the same purposes, were being
carried out ; and, if so, who were the persons charged with
the direction of such works, and when it was probable they
would be completed ?
Mr. S. FI'I ZGERALD explained that by arrangement
between the five powers concerned, the matter had been re-
ferred to a commission of inquiry sitting in Paris, at
which this country was represented, and it was the opinion
of that commission that the St. George's mouth should be
improved. When all the works necessary for improving
the navigation of the Danube were carried out they would
cost about £500,000, which would be repaid by a tax on
ships using the river.
THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL corrected some errors
in a statement made in the course of the debate on the
Government bill last night by the hon. member for Dover
with reference to a hustings speech delivered by him (the
Solicitor-General) at Belfast.
THE PICTURE OF "THE APOLLO AND
MARSYAS."
Mr. CONINGHAM asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, whether, as the authorities at the National Gallery
were reported to have expressed their willingness to give a
large sum for a picture by Raffaelle, it was not desirable
that the Government should secure for the nation the
famous picture of "The Apollo and Marsyas," now in the
possession of Morris Moore, Esq., the original drawing
of which is in the academy
at Venice. The hon.
member referred to the services rendered by Mr.
Moore, who, ho contended, had been very badly treated,
and from his attacks on high parties, he was reduced to
a state that left him no alternative but suicide or starva-
tion. The hox. member then proceeded to address the
howrie in a strain of vehement indignation, but was com-
pelled to conclude abruptly his remarks ftom the impo-
tence evinced by the house.
THE ANNUITY TAX BILL.

In reply to Mr. BLACK,'
The LORD ADVOCATE said that he would not be
prepared to bring forward the Government measure on
Wednesday next.
THE COUNCIL OF INDIA.
Mr. V. SMITH asked the Secretary of State for India to
lay on the table any minutes or regulations he had made for
the transaction of business in the Council of, India, under
the 20th section of ths act 21 and 22 Vic., c. 106.
After some discussion on a point of order,
Mr. V. SMITH contended that the regulations adopted
with refzrence to the transactions of the Council, instead, of
light being admitted everything was rendered even moro
obscure than previously, to the public at large.
Lord STANLEY said he had no objection to lay the
minutes in questions, which were very brief, on the table.
The Council were, divided , into committees for the
transaction of business. He agreed in the sugges-
tion of the honourable member that there should
be a special announcement made with respect to
' these secret despatches and that course would be adopted
in future. It was not the regular course to lay such docu-
ments as the despatch of the 3d of August, on the table,
but in the present instance he would have no objection
ti do so. He had ordered the second despatch to be re
ferret to the secret committee, and had been sent out from
the secret department by those recommendations. It was
not, theretore, brought before the council.
