COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Dec. 19.

COLLIN/ V. LORD ALBERT CONYINGHAM.
_

This was an action against the defendant, as managing
committeeman of a proposed company, entitled the Dover
and Deal Railway and Cinque Ports Coast Junction
Company, to recover 110 L, which had been paid by the
plaintiff, who is M.P. for Warwick, upon shares allotted
to him in the company, Of which he had been a provi-
sional committeeman.

Mr. Crowder, Mr. Sergeant Byles, and Mr. Ball were
counsel for the plaintiff ; and the Solicitor-General and
Mr. T. Jones fur the defendant.

The company was projected by two solicitors named
Hook and Thompson, and was provisionally registered
on the 3d of Oct -iber, 1845. On the 24th of October it
was resolved that the company should be considered
as established from the 3d of October. The defendant
(now Londesborough) became a member of the previ-
sional committee, and attended their meetings for the
first time on the Ist of November. At that meeting the
minutes of the proceedings of the meeting of the 94th
October were read over and confirmed, and the defendant
and other gentlemen were appointed a committee of
management. At a subsequent meeting the defendant
and other gentlemen were appointed a deputation to
wait on the directors of the South-Eastern Railway
Company; and at another meeting, a few days later, It
was resolved that shares should be forthwith allotted.
On 24th January, 1846, a report of the negotiation with
the South-Eastern Railway Company was read, and the
secretary was directed to send the following circular to
the allottet4:—

" Dover and Deal Railway, 7, Coleman-street,
January 21, 1850.
" Sir,—la forwarding you the accompanying letter of
allotment the directors desire to explain that they have
delayed issuing any shares until the standing orders of
b ith Roust-s of Parliament had been complied with, and
certain arrangements entered into with the South-
Eastern Railway CumpAny had been brought to a con-
clusion.

The directors have now the greatest satisfaction in
stating that arrangements with the South-Eastern Rail-
way Company have been concluded, and they are fully
justified in asserting that the company will be placed in
such a position as to ensure its proprietary against loss,
&c., in the event of the parsing of the, Bill. Shares in
the South-Eastern Railway will ba allotted to the pro-
prietors in lieu of stock in this company.
" The directors, in making this announcement, feel
that the affairs of the company, as now settled, are on
such a basis as to secure important advantages to its
proprietors, and to warrant the directors in proceeding
to Parliarn,,nt with the undertaking, with every expec-
tation of success.

" In th• event of the Act not being obtained the direc-
tors undertake to return the whole of the deposits with-
out deductions.

"By order,
"G. T. THOMPSON, Joint Solicitors."
The defendant attended several other meetings of the
committee during the progress of the Bill, which passed
the Standing Orders Committee, but was thrown out by
the House of Commons. The plaintiff had a hundred
shares allotted to him, in February, 1846, and paid 210/.
upon them, but never executed the Parliamentary con-
tract; 100/. was returned to him after the project was
abandoned. After the plaintiff had commenced his
action for the balance, the affairs of the company were
placed under the direction of the Court of Chancery,
under the Winding-up Act, and the Master placed the
plaintiff's name on the list of eontributories.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE directed the jury that, in
accordance with recently decided cases, the plaintiff was
entitled to recover, and, accordingly, they returned a
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 110/.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 19.
;Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before the LORD
CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.)

BIRCHALL AND ♦NOTHER V. GENERAL STEAD[ NAVIGA-

TION COMPANY.

This was an action to recover damages for an alleged
breach of contract.

Mr. Crowder, Mr. H. Hill, and Mr. Unthank appeared
for the plaintiffs, and Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Knowles
for the company.
Mr. CROWDER, in stating the case to the jury, said the
plaintiffs, Messrs. Birch%ll, were wool merchants at
Leeds, and they brought this action to recover 5781.
13s. id., being the balance of the amount of value of 42
bales o wool which the General Steam Navigation Com-
pany had agreed to convey to Hull, but which were de.
stroyed by fire in consequence of not performing their
contract. It appeared that on the 17th of September,
1849, a sale of wool took place at the Hall of Commerce,
at which a broker named Buckler purchased 42 bales
for the plaintiffs, for 7261. 12g. 7d. The conditions of
the sale were, that the goods should be paid for at the
end of fourteen days from the time of purchase ;
three days' " grace," however, were allowed beyond
the fourteen days by the proprietors of the
warehouses or docks where the goods were deposited,
and if they were not conveyed away by the expiration
of that period, all risk, as well as charge for rent, fell
upon the buyer. When the wool was purchased it was
lying in the warehouse of Messrs. Gooch and Consent,
ac 65, London-wall. The fourteen days and the three
days' grace expired on the 4th of October, and on that
day Buckler went to the office of the Steam Navigation
Company, and made arrangements for the conveyance
of the wool. He gave the delivery order to a person
in the office, who undertook to dispatch the goods on
the following day by one of the company's boats. That
promise was, however, not kept. On the night of the 6th
of October a dreadful fire took place in London-wall,
destroying property to the value of more than 170,0001.,
and among other premises, those of Messrs. Gooch and
Comma. The wool was burnt in the flames, with the
exception of a small quantity, which was deducted as
salvage from the original cost. The Learned Counsel
contended that undor these circumstances the defendants
ought to bear the loss, as the goods would not have
been destroyed had they fulfilled their contract to re-
move them from the warehouse at the time specified.
The CHIEF BARON wished to know whether the
Learned Counsel could refer to any authorities, es this
appeared to him to be an action of a very novel
character.

Mr. CROWDER replied that he was not prepared with
any particular authoriqe-, but he apprehended there
was a good ground of action.
The CHIEF BARON said he knew no one instance in
which a loss of this description had been recovered
under such a contract. Could it be said if a man was
injured by another, and prevented attending the death-
bed of a relative, who, in consequence, cuts him out of
his will with a shilling, that the individual so injured
could recover the loss he had sustained ? The fire
by which the property was destroyed was not an ordi-.
nary, natural, or. legitimate consequence of the breach of
contract, and therefor- the deem-14145, in his opinion,
could not be held respons,ble for the loss.
Several witnesses were cailed, who proved the facts
detailed above.

Sir FREDERICK► THESIGER was about to address the
jury, yvtiti

The CHIRP BARON told the jury he wasp of opinion
that, under th,e contract, the plaintiffs could only recover
nominal damages, as the lo,s sustained arose from a
purely accide,:tal circumstance, which no party could
reasonably anticipate or foresee. There wig simply a
breach of contract in not retaoving the goods at the
specified time, and under the circumstances he should
direct them to find a verdiat for the plaintiffs with
the nominal damages of

- -
I'he jury accordingly returned a verdict for the plain-
tiffs—Damages h.

Mr. CROWDER tendered a bill of exceptions to the
Learned Judge's summing up.
His LORDSHIP refused to certify for costs, observing
that he would not encourage speculative actions in the
superior courts.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTH I:, RN RC U IT. York, Dec. 18.
(Before Mr. Baron MARTIN.)
James Cratty, William Higgins, Michael Cantwell, and
Edward Hogan, were indicted tor the wilful murder of
James Reodes, at Leeds, on the 16th November.

Mr. Hall, Mr. Overend, and Mr. Hardy were for the
prosecution. Mr. Dearsley defended Cantwell; Mr.
Digby Seymour appeared (or Cratty and Higgins. The
fourth prisoner was undefended.
It appeared that on Saturday evening, the 16th of No-
vember, there was a disturbance between the Irish and
the English living in that quarter of Leeds were the
station of the Leeds and Selby Railway is situated. The
deceased was seen to leave the Greyhound Inn with his
son, a boy ten years old, and as he was pros - eding
down Shannon-street, opposite the Horse and Jockey
Inn, where a large mob then were in an excited state,
three or four men rushed at the deceased, Higgins and
Cratty being two of them, when one of them struck him
with a brick on the side of the head, which caused the
injuries from which he died three days after-
wards. According to the evidence of the little
boy, and one of the witnesses for the prosecution,
who saw the blow struck, and who went immediately to
the assistance of Rhodes, no other blow was struck but
that from the brick; but a young woman named Mary
Ann Ward said that she had seen the prisoner Cantwell
strike the deceased with a poker, and saw another man
jump upon him while he was on the ground. There was
considerable discrepancy in the statements of the wit-
nesses as to the part taken by the several prisoners in
the disturbance; and it was conceded by the prosecution
that the prisoners had entertained no ill-will towards
the deceased, and had attacked him o❑ the supposition
that he was ore of the adverse party. After the trial
had lasted several hours, it was arranged by counsel,
with the approbation of the Judge, that Cratty and Hig-
gins should plead guilty to a charge of manslaughter;
that Cantwell and Hogan should he acquitted; and
that the whole of the prisoners, with several other
Irishmen, should plead guilty to another indictment for
a riot.

George Houlton was indicted for having, on the night
of the 20th Oct., at Thoragurnbald, iu the East Riding,
feloniously set fire to a stack of wheat and a stack of
straw, the property of Henry Cautley.
Mr. Dearsley was for the prosecution. The prisoner,
a gentlemanly looking man, &gut 43, by profession a
surgeon, conducted his own defence.

The evidence against the prisoner was entirely cir-
cumstantial, and the counsel for the prosecution sug-
gested that probably the jury, when they heard the case,
would be obliged to acquit the prisoner on the ground
of insanity. Before the fire, the prisoner was seen on a
road near the house of the prosecutor, and was heard to
say, " I will put the farmers to rights; you old
Burnham, I'll put you right." It was proved that he
must have loitered some hours on the road to Hull
about the time of the fire; and when he was appre-
hended he had some matches in his pocket. The pri-
soner had gone into a cottage and killed a cat and three
kittens. He placed the cat in a hamper, and put the
three dead kittens in a row, and then walked away. In
cross-examining one of the witnesses, which he did with
remarkable acuteness and composure, he asked, had the
witness heard him whistle anything like this (putting
his finger in his mouth and making the court ring), or
like this (whistling with considerable correctness a
military tattoo, to the astonishment of a crowded court)?
Tiie prisoner then addressed the jury. He said—" I
hope, gentlemen of the jury, that you will make allow-
ance for me under the painful circumstances in which "I
stand. I hope that your passage through life has been
smooth. When I see you, my Lord, sitting there, I see
your's has been fortunate. As for mine it has been
chequered by many misfortunes, so that I might say with
the Ghost in Hamlet—

I could a tale unfold,
Whose lightest word would harrow up the soul,
And make your hair to stand on end
Like quills upon the fretful porcupine!'
Clouds of darkness have hung over me, and if a gleam
of sunshine came it soon passed away. My life has
been a romance, and perhaps it may some day appear
as such. But, gentlemen of the jury (continued the
prisoner, bursting into tears), I feel a great difficulty in
making an extemporaneous address to you, although I
have been a public speaker both on and off the stage;
but I appeal to you to give me that fair trial that every
Englishman' is entitled to." The prisoner then asked
for a copy of the plan, and inviting the attention of the
Learned Judge to it, process:led to trace upon it his
perambulations on the night of the fire. He asked, was
it extraordinary that he should have been out that night,
not at an unreasonable hoar, when he belonged to a pro-
fession in which a man was liable to be called up by
every old woman whose great toe ached? And here
the prisoner said he would take the point that he was
nut George Houlton, as people supposed, and under
which ❑ame he had been indtctrd. G-orge Houlton was
his half-brother, and his (the prisoner's) right name was
Julien Marie Gravick. Again, it was said that he was
excited when he was seen on the road. The truth was,
tha he had just heard a report that his father, who lived
at a short distance. was in a d)ing state. lie was hur-
rying to see him, and therefore appeared perhaps agi.
tated, but he hoped not excited. The priattner then pro-
ceeded to say that when in Hungary he had brcome
acquainted with the habits of the gipsies, and then began
to state with great particularity his proceedings respect-
ing an old teapot, a German pipe, and some stones,
which he said he had disposed of, so as to put the gipsies
off the scent. An observation which I made befire the
magistrate (he continued), has been brought up as evi-
dence of my guilt. I said that the fire was a glorious
sight—and it was a glorious sight. The brraking out of
the lurid cloud and the body of flame in the light while
a cloud was passing over the moon was a most striking
scene. It was grand; I never saw anything equal to it
except the burning of a man-of-war in Russia, which was
set on fire for the purpose of being painted.
Mr. Baron MARTIN here interposed, and after confe-
rence with Mr. llearsley, and consultation with Mr. Jus-
tice Pattesou, his Lordship directed an acquittal on the
ground that there was not sufficient evidence to prove
that the prisoner was the author of the fire.
The prisoner was then arraigned on another charge of
arson, and the jury found that he was not in a fit state of
mind to take his trial, and the Learned Judge said that
he should be dealt with according to 39 and 40 George
111., c. 94, sec. 2.

The prisoner exclaimed, " That imputation upon me is
worse than the crime of which I have been acquitted."
He was then removed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Joseph Hewett was brought before Mr. Bingham,
charged with having created a disturbance at N 0.33,
Hill-street, the residence of the Earl of Stamford, and
also with having attempted to force open the door of the
carriage for the purpose of serving the Countess of
Stamford with a subpoena.
The Earl of Stamford stated that about three o'clock
that day, as the carriage was at the door of his resi-
dence, the defendant and another person came forward
and attempted forcibly to open the carriage door. The
defendant had a writ or a subpoena in his hand. He in-
terposed and pushed him back. The carriage drove off,
and he walked towards Piccadilly followed by the defen-
dant. Meeting with a police-constable near the Bur-
lington. arcade he gave him into custody.
A footman corroborated this statement, and was cer-
tain that the defendant laid his hand on bis Lordship's
shoulder.
Police-constable Petch, C 136, said, when he took the
defendant into custody, the defendant said he had only
acted according to his instructions.
Mr. BINGHAM asked the defendant what he had to
say? Defendant—l bad a subpona to serve on the
Countess, and I only endeavoured to serve it when I saw
her Ladyship in the carriage.
Mr. BixaHAM—Oat of what court was the subparia?
Defendant—l don't know; I was only acting under in-
structions.
Mr. BINGHAM—Who gave you those instructions?
Defendant —Mr. Holt, solicitor, of Chatham-place. He
will be here directly.
Mr. BINGHAM—Did Mr. llolt give you instructions to
open the carriage door against the will of parties inside?
Defendant—l did not open the door; they were too quick
for me.
In a short time Mr. Holt entered the court and an-
nounced himself. Be said the defendant had been em-
ployed by him to serve a subpoena on the Countess of
Stamford from the Court of Chancery, to give evidence
in a matter to which he would not then further allude.
Mr. BINGHAM asked if the Court had given no special
directions abuut the time and place when the subpasua
should be served?
Mr. Holt said there, were no directions beyond that it
should be served within a month.
Lord Stamford said this was not correct.
Mr. Holt said his messenger had acted only with
that seal with which persons in his situation would act
when they had a party to servo who was reluctant to be
served..
Mr. BINGHAM said he did not think Mr. Holt would
say that it was a proper way to serve a subpoena to lay
hold of his Lordship's shoulder, and to endeavour to
force open the carriage-door.
Arr. Holt had no wish to resort to such proceedin,s,
but her Ladyship had already refused to at'end to one
subpoena that had been served on her.
Mr. BINGHAM asked if throwing the subpoena into the
carriage would not have sufficed?
Mr. Holt said it would. lie very much regretted the
matter having been attended with unpleasant circum-
stances to his Lordship.
Lord Stamford was sorry he had not horsewhipped
both the men.
Mr.. BINGHAM considered that the case was one which
did not require, under the circumstances, to be dealt with
very severely. He thought his Lordship would be satis-
fied with the explanation that had been offered, and he
should, therefore, only require the defendant to enter
into his own recognizance, without lees, to keep the peace
for three months.
Mr. Holt asked Lord Stamford if he would accept
service on behalf of his lady, and that would (nd all
further annoyance?
Lord Stamford replied—Decidedly not.
