LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lordsi Justices.)
APPEALS.-,ATTWOOD V. LLOYD-ATTIVOOD V. LLOYD-

RAILWAY.

HALF-YEARLY MEETING.-(THIS DAY.)

LLOYD V. ATTWOOD.

These appeal causes came on to be mentioned on adjust-
ng the minutes this morning

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the London and
North-Western Railway Company was held to-day, at
Euston Station.

Their lordships declared—Firstly, that the whole of the
ieeds granted by the plaintiffs for gratuities given to them
should be wholly and entirely swept away. Lord Justice
Knight Brace said it was a most scandalous shame to take
these deeds from the plaintiffs at the time they were
solely and entirely in the power of the defendants.
Secondly, their lordships remitted the whole causes to the
Master of the Rolls, to take an account at chambers of all
just and lawful charges, as mortgages or incumbrances,
against the plaintiffs' freehold or copyhold estates, with the
interest, costs, charges, and expenses in these suits, and the
costs of these appeals. Thirdly, in the appeal suit of Lloyd
v. Attwood, the costs paid to be refunded, without preju-
dice to any subsequent application for costs. These orders
were made, in hoc Oahe, before firol decree is pronounced.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBORO UGI-I-TREET

A BRUTAL HUSBAND.—Thomas Coles, a carpenter, was
brought up by 0' Shaughnessy, one of the warrant officers of
the court on, a warrant, charged with assaulting his wife,
Martha Coles, a very respectable-looking female.
The wife, who said she resided at 12, St. Martin's-street,
said that on the previous morning about 10, the prisoner,
who had that morning come out of the House of Correction,
where he had been for six weeks for assaulting her, came
to where she was residing, and immediately upon entering
the room, said, " You who authorised you to remove
the goods ?" She told him that she had been obliged to
do so, as her landlord had given her notice. He then said,
" You -, where are the trousers I left at home." She
told him they were in the box, and that there was a clean
shirt ready for him and some dinner. He then sat on the
side of the bed, and while she was in the act of rising from
the hearth, which she had been cleaning, he gave her a back-
handed blow across the nose, from which she had suffered a
very violent head-ache ever since. She did not so much
mind the blow as the expressions he used towards her,
which were very bad. _ _

Mr. Bingham asked the poor woman how. many times he
had similarly treated her ?
The wife, who was in tears while giving her evidence,
said, this was the third time he had been at the court. The
first time was in March, 1858, when he had three months ;
on January 7th, this year, when he had six weeks; and
once on a summons, when he was ordered to allow her Bs.
per week, but never did so. On the previous day, to avoid
his brutality, she locked herself in the water closet, and
while coming to this court for the warrant, he sold the bed-
stead and spent the money in beer.
Mr. Bingham, having animadverted in strong terms on
the prisoner's brutality, committed him for a month, and
hoped that in the meantime a separation might be effected
by their friend's.
It was stated that the prisoner has carried on a systema-
tic course of brutality to his wife for a length of time.

The CHAIRMAN stated that the receipts from passengers,
parcels, mails, &c., for the past half-year amounted to
£814,665 against £910,258 for the corresponding half of
1857, showing a decrease of £95,593. The receipts for
merchandise, &c., in the past half-year amounted to
£767,197 against £771,802, showing a decrease of £4,605.
The total receipts for the past half-year amounted
to £1,581,862 against £1,682,060 in the corresponding
half of 1857, showing a decrease of £100,196. The
working expenses for the past half-year amounted to
£657,092 against £669,363 in the same half of 1857, show-
ing a decrease of £12,271. The directors recommended the
payment of a dividend for the past half-year after the rate
of 41 per cent. per annum, carrying forward a balance of
£23,196. He regretted the continuance throughout the
past half-year of severe competition at very reduced rates
for the traffic between London and Lancashire, and the de-
pressed state of trade, together with the absence of any
extraordinary source of revenue, such as that derived from
the Manchester Exhibition, have caused the receipts of the
past half-year to compare unfavourably with those of
1857. In the working expenses considerable economy
had been effected under various heads, especially in
the cost of fuel and in the consumption of stores gene-
rally ; but the necessity forced upon the company of
keeping up numerous trains at high rates of speed,
in order to retain the traffic, had prevented any
large saving in the total expense of the half-year.
The next subject alluded to was the fire which occurred in
September last which destroyed the timber viaduct, 150
yards in length, by which the Trent Valley line is carried
over the river Penk and the Trent and Mersey Canal.
Arrangements had been made for its reconstruction with
brick piers and wrought-iron girders, the cost of which
would amount to £lO,OOO. The directors had the satisfac-
tion of stating the settlement of the long-pending
differences, and the abandonment of all litigation between
this company and the North Staffordshire Company.
The negotiations between the directors of the company,
the Great Northern, and Manchester, Sheffield and Lin-
colnshire Companies, have resulted in the admission and
adoption of the important principle of equality of charge
between all points of competition, at rates to be fixed by
arbitration in case of difference, the heads of agreement
being exchanged on the 26th Isiovembi, providing for the
interchange of traffic at through rates ; for co-operation
between the several parties ; for the conduct of competitive
traffic at equal rates, to be settled by arbitration; and for
the adjustment on satisfactory terms of all questions con-
nected with the London-road station, Manchester. On the
23d of Dec. a further agreement was signed, providing fora
division cf competitive traffic, and for arrangements gene-
rally, which it is believed will tend to the advantage of the
companies and promote the public convenience. Steps
have been taken to obtain Parliamentary sanction to these
arrangements, which will be submitted to the proprietors in
due time for approval. The agreement with the Great
Western Company, referred to in former report?, was now
in operation, by which it had bean provided that they are
to use the lines and stations of this company for the Man-
chester traffic for a period of years upon mutually advan-
tageous conditions) and eke arrangements for the division of
traffic at all competitive places were also in progress.
The directors reported the completion of the agreement for
the purchase by this company of the Chester and Holyhead
Railway, On the terms sanctioned by the special general
meeting of proprietors : held on the 30th of December,
1858; and that the contract with the Postmaster-General,
for the improvement of the postal and passenger communi-
cation between England and Ireland, has been completed,
and will come into operation as soon as the vessels to
,be
provided, and which are in course of construction, are
ready.

esteemed general manager, Captain Huish, concluded by
moving the adoption of the report.
