AND
pn d LorDARLINGTON RAILWAY COMPANY V.
BARRETT.
This case came before their Lordships upon a writ of
error from the Court of Exchequer Chamber, affirming
upon a writ of error there a judgment given in favour of
the defendant, in error, by the Court of Common Pleas
upon an action for money for the carriage of coal along
certain parts of the line of the railway from Stockton-
upon-Tees.
The arguments occupied their Lordships the whole
day, and the House postponed its judgment in conse-
quence of the absence of the Lord Chancellor, who, it
was understood, was obliged to attend a Cabinet Council.

SHERIFF'S COURT, GREENWICH.
Yesterday, Mr. Frances, the Under-sheriff for Rent, held
a Court at the Greyhound Tavern, Greenwich.

MARTIN v. BONE.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a re-
spectable tradesman in Gravesend, against the defendant,
who is a person of independent property, to recover damages
for defamation of character.

The damages were laid at 1,0001., and judgment had been
allowed to go by default.
Mr. Horne, for the plaintiff, in a very forcible address to
the jury, stated the facts of the case, from which it appeared
that the defendant had accused the plaintiff of being in the
habit of committing the most foul and unnatural crimes.
After hearing the evidence, which is unfit for publication,
the address of the defendant's solicitor, and the summing up
of the Learned Under-Sheriff,
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2001.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME CIRCUIT, Kingston, March 26.

heavy ; there being forty prisoners for trial. On the
Civil Side, seventy causes are entered, five of which are
to be disposed of by special juries.
Both. Courts were opened this morning for the dis-
patch of business. The Lord Chief Justice presiding on
the Civil Side, and Mr. Baron Alderson in the Crown
