EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY).
(Before Lord ABINGER and a Special Jury.)
THISTLETHWAYTE V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COM-
PANY.
This action, which it was understood was brought by the
plaintiff against the Great Western Railway Company for
breach of contract, in not building a bridge over the railway
that passed through the plaintiff's land, at Westbourne, on
being called on was referred to arbritration.
KERRY V. CONNOP.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a widow, car-
rying on the business of a farrier at IsTewmarket, against the
defendant, a gentleman well known on the race course, and
the owner of several race-horses, to recover 21/. I ls. 6d. for
shoeing the defendant's horses while they were stationed at
Newmarket, in March 1842.
The defence was, that the work was not done for
and on defendant's credit, but that the agreement was
entered into by one Price, the training groom of the
defendant, on his own credit, and not on the credit of
the defendant, and also that there was an agreement
at that time between Captain Meynell and defendant
that defendant should pay all the expenses of the horses of
Captain Meynell at the Hippodrome, and that Captain
Meynell should pay all expenses of the defendant's horses
when at Newmarket. Captain Meynell proved this agree-
ment, and that if the work had been done he considered he
was liable to pay the amount, but bad not been called on.
In the course of the cause it was stated that in the action
brought by Lord George Bentinck against Mr. Connop to
recover his stakes in the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, imme-
diately after the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench
on Saturday in favour of Mr. Connop, he attended at Tat-
tersall's, and gave notice that he would pay the amount of
his stakes, notwithstanding such judgment.
Mr. Martin and Mr. Worledge for the plaintiff;-Mr. Erle,
and Mr. Worsley for defendant.
The jury having retired to consider their verdict, after
being absent upwards of a quarter of an hour, returned into
Court, but were requested not to give a verdict, the plaintiff
wishing to withdraw a juror. The defendant immediately
consented and a juror was then withdrawn.
It was intimated by the foreman afterwards, they were
prepared to return a verdict for the plaintiff for the full
amount claimed.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
William Steed and George Jackson were charged with
exciting a disturbance in the King of Prussia public-house,
John-street, Bermondsey, and the former defendant was fur-
ther charged with threatening to stab the complainant.
It appeared that on the preceding day Steed was held to
bail at this Court for assaulting the complainant. The same
night the defendant went to the complainant's house, and,
although under recognizances, was alleged to have assaulted
Mr. Doran, and also threatened to stab him.
A good deal of conflicting evidence was given ; but the
Magistrate said the case was of such a serious character he
should send it before a jury, and, for that purpose, would adjudge
Steed to enter into his own recognizance of 1001., and find two
sureties of 50/. each to answer the charge at the sessions.
The other defendant was discharged.

MR. TEMPLETON.—This gentleman is now on a
provincial tour, and is winning golden opinions from all kinds
of persons. He gave his entertainments last week, at Liver-
pool, to crowded and delighted audiences, and this week he
has repeated them at Manchester with the most complete
success. The Liverpool and Manchester papers speak in the
most laudatory terms of Mr. Templeton's exertions.
