LONDON, FRIDAY' EVENING,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—AThis Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, befure Lord Camp-
bell and a Special Jury.)
HILLI V. SHEPHERD.

This was an action to recover 501., for money paid
and received, and on an account stated.
The jury returned a verdict for plaintiff for 441. 2s.
10s., deducting Si. 17e. 2d., the actual cost in the civil
action.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.)
COTTRELL v. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff an exten-
sive dealer in valuable horses, to recover damages in
compensation for alleged injury to a valuable roan horse
through the negligence of the defendants servants. It
appeared from the plaintiff's case that he purchased the
horse in question on the 11th of June last, at Spalding,
which was taken on the 13th to the railway station, at
that place, to be forwarded to London by the Great
Northern Railway. The persons in charge of
the horse, however, directed the attention of the
defendants' porters to the careless manner in which
they were putting other horses into the box, as likely to
result in injury to the animals. They replied that the
plaintiffs' servants need not give them instructions, be-
cause they had " boxed " more horses than the others
had seen. The duty of putting horses into the horse-
boxes at the railway now devolves upon the porters of
the company ; and it was alleged that the injury arose
from the negligence of the defendants' porters in not
tying the horse's head sufficiently tight up to the
head of the box. The train started, and
upon arriving at Peterborough a violent kicking
and plunging was heard on the box, and on looking into
it the porter at that station found that if the train had
proceeded on to London with the horse in the state he
was discovered, he would, in all probability, have been
killed before arriving at the end of his destination. The
porter discovered that from the length of the halter the
horse had been able to back on the starting of the train,
which was a usual circumstance, and required that a
horse's head should be tied up tight. The horse, from
being able to rear and plunge, had got his
off fore leg over one of the partitions of the
box, and the near fore leg what was termed
" over cast," that was over the halter. The horse
when taken out was found to be seriously injured ; be
was taken to Mr. Peroivall's, at Peterborough, where
he remained till the 15th of July. The horse was pur-
chase i at 651, and was worth between 1301. to 1401. ; he
was sold to Sir C. Taylor for 1001., and a special war-
ranty that the injury in the fore leg, caused by the
accident, was not a "speedy out," the most dangerous
injury a horse could sustain. The action was to recover
471., the amount actually expended by the plaintiff on
the horse, the section of the Railway Traffic Act limit-
ing the amount of liability of the company under such
circumstances to 501.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
(Before the Lord Chief Baron and a Common Jury.)

GREGORY V. RIDDLE.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a
beer dealer, at Newport, against the defendant, who is
a brewer, at Bristol, to recover damages in consequence
of unsound beer supplied to the former, the complaint being
that it was not according to sample. The beer had
been paid for. _

The question which arose was whether the bulk ought
to have corresponded exactly with the sample. Upon
this point the Lord Chief Baron laid it down that, in the
case of beer, it was not necessary that they should exactly
correspond, for while the sample might remain the same,
when tightly bottled up, the bulk might from various
causes undergo considerable deterioration. There were
some minor points of dispute which were of no im•
portance.

The jury retired and returned with a verdict for the
plaintiff, damages 311. 17s. 6d., subject to certain full
and empty hogsheads being returned.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
THE HEMEL HEMPSTEAD BANK,-IN RE SMITH.

To-day was appointed by adjournment far considera-
tion of the certificate of this bankrupt, who had carried
on business in partnership with Edward Fearnley Whit-
tingstall, deceased, as bankers at Hemel Hampstead and
Watford.

Mr. Bagley applied for the certificate which had been
adjourned for six months, in coasequence of proceedings
which had been pending in Chancery.
Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, asked for a farther
adjournment, as the proceedings had not been concluded.
It was expected that, by an arrangement with the exe-
cutors of Mr. Whittingstall, the creditors under this
estate. 600 in number, would receive 208. in the pound ;
but there were other persons interested, and the repre-
sentatives of about 20 parties would have to be consulted.
The matter would again come before the Court of Chan-
cery in January next. The fends in that court would
not permit the executors of Whittingstall to pay a
dividend, and it had been determined not to realise part
of it until the spring, as it would be injudicious at the
present time to press such an estate into the market.

The case was adjourned till the 24th of April next.
♦ WIFE'S INCOME. - -IN RE FRAITEL
This bankrupt was described as of Cambridge-road,
Mile end, Provision merchant, and to-day came up to
pass his last examination, on accounts prepared by
Messrs. Butler and Cannings. It appears that the bank-
rupt now owes to creditors 6,6501., and to ditto holding
mortgages 1,8721., and to creditors holding security
1,1271.; and liabilities, 3,9951. The trading from Jan.
7, 1856, to July, 1857, amounted to 23,0001., and
the losses therein amounted to 1,9551., and he had re-
ceived 1,0001. as a gift out of his wife's income, as she
wan a lady of very large property. The assets were—
Cash, 150/., doubtful dehts, 2961.; pr perty, 3541.; ditto
mortgaged, 2,100/.; other property in the bands of cre•
ditors, 7791.
The bankrupt passed without opposi,,ion.

INSTANCE OF SRPOY GENEROSITY.—It is only due to
the unmilitary population of llindostan to state that
they do not at all share in those characteristics of
treachery, revenge, and fiendish atrocity, of which the
sepoy soldiers have shown themselves, with scarcely an
exception, to be possessed. A remarkable instance of
the opposite qualities in the Hiudoo peasantry has just
been brought to our notice in a private letter. Major
Gowan, who had been missing for some weeks, and was
supposed to be dead, had unexpectedly made his ap-
pearance at Alumbagh at the date of the letter in ques-
tion ; and he stated to his numerous friends there, who
welcomed his appearance among them as one who had
been raised from his grave, that he had been stripped
naked by the sepoy soldiers, but that, by a providential
interposition in his favour, he had escaped with his life.
In that state the gallant Major bad wandered about for
weeks in the fields. In his utter destitution, the vil-
lagers, though they could not harbour him in their
houses for fear of the mutineers, supplied him with more
than his necessary food • for he says they literally, in
the excess of their kindn'ess, compelled him to eat more
than nature required of the most delicate things they
had in their possession. It is pleasing to state this
redeeming feature in the Riede() character. Major
Gowan is grand-nephew of Mrs. Outram, the mother of
Sir James Outram.—Advergiser.
THE NEW STREET Paoli WHITECHAPEL TO SHORE.
DITCH.—This new line of street, which was commenced
several years ago, will at length be completed in the
course of a few
.days. The footway on either side,
which is paved with flagstones the whole distance, has
been finished some weeks, and foot
passengers can
now traverse it to and fro between Whitechapel and
Shoreditob, up to the terminus of the Eastern Counties
Railway. The carriage Way is paved with stones to 1
within a few yards of the High-street, Shoreditch, so
that when it reaches there a direct communication
will exist betweet! the Docks and Shoreditch, which
will be a great relief to the traffic through Cornhill to
the City and the West End. Several sites have been
taken on the ground ma building leases. On one of them,
in course of erectien and nearly built, is a school for
children of the Jewish faith. At the upper end, a por•
tioe of the ground of the Eastern Counties Railway, four
good sized and neat looking shops have been constructed
by order of the directors, which, of course, will yield a
permanent income to the company, and adjoining a new
iron gate has been put up, which
greatly extends the
frontage of the terminus. Ou the other side of the street
a row of large houses is being raised. When the street
is entirely built upon it will be a considerable improve-
ment to the neighbourhood.
GALLANT CONDUCT.— Some documents have been
sent to us with a view to show the valiant and humane
conduct of Capt. Percy, of the British brig Jessie, in
rescuing the crew and passengers of the American
packet-ship Northumberland, Captain Spencer. The
Northumberland left New York for England on the 15th
Nov. with a crew of 23 men and 35 passengers, but met
with bad weather ou the Ist Dec. A fearful night was
passed, and the next morning the vessel was disabled
during a heavy gale about 2,000 miles from New York,
and became a wreck. All on board would have been
lost bad it not been,for Capt. Percy, of the brig Jessie,
bound for St. Joh t!, Newfoundland. Capt. Percy, on
observing the condition of the Northumberland, altered
the course of the brig, and by his exertions succeeded
in saving every per,on on board, 63 in number. The
passengers of the Northumberland all express their qa.
titude to the 1
captain for
his
care, skill,,
i and promptitude n superintending the operation of
lowering those on board into the boats.
THE DUTY ON DOGS.—The duty on dogs in the year
• ended last 111 arch amounted to as much as 200,7251.
