LAW INTELLIGENCE—(2hts Day).

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

(Sittings in Banco before the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Baron
Martin, Mr. Baron Bramwell, and Mr. Baron Channell.)

HATCH V. LEWIS AND LEWIS.

It will be remembered that some days since Mr. Cham-
bers applied for a rule for a new trial on the grounds of mis-
direction, of the rejection of evidence, and that the damages
were insufficient. Judgment was delivered to-day by
The Lord Chief Baron, who said that so far as the misdi-
rection and rejection of evidence was concerned, it was
cured by the verdict, and no new trial would be granted on
those grounds—the jury having found for the plaintiff. As
to the damages, it was a question on which so much diffe-
rence of opinion might reasonably exist, that the Court
were unananimously of opinion that the rule could not be
granted on the ground that they were insufficient.
Rule refused.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before Sir John Rornilly.)

FORREST V. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN-

SHIRE RAILWAY.

His Honour, in delivering judgment this morning in this
case, said—After carefully examining the evidence he could
come to no other conclusion than that the acts of the rail-
way directors were not beyond those conferred upon them
by their Act of Parliament. It was perfectly clear that if
the railway company diverged from their proper purpose
of carrying passengers and goods to a certain place and
conveyed them to another, it was not legal for them
so to do. Even if all the shareholders agreed to carry
on a different trade from that which they were
specially empowered to do, then the directors had not the
power to do so, and that point had been most clearly set-
tled in the Ipswich case, where it was decided that a rail-
way could not carry on the business of a manufacturing
company. He was of opinion that no capital was expended
or expenses incurred for the purpose of carrying out the
excursion trips beyond those given to them by Parliament.
The bill must, therefore, be dismissed with costs, because
it was proved that this was not the appellants' own suit,
but that of another company from whom ha had indemnity
for costs.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Commissioner Evans.)
IN RE THE UNION DISCOUNT COMPANY.

To-day was appointed for the settlement of the list of
contributions in the matter of this company now in the
Court under the Winding-up Act.

The case has been before the Court on previous occasions,
but up to the present time no statement of affairs has been
made public. _ _

The rest of the business was of an uninteresting charac-
ter, consisting chiefly of audits and choices.

warrant issued from this Court and placed for execution in
the hands of Detective Sergeant Jarvis, but as the case
was not in the list of to. day's causes, and, as very likely
the matter will be heard in private, no name is given.
