HILLINGDON HALL. The agricultural interest
have been led to expect a fund of entertainment in the
forthcoming new novel, by the clever author of " Hand-
ley Cross," to be called " HILLINGOON HALL, OR THE
COCKNEY SQUIRE ;" the hero being a wealthy citizen
who has purchased an estate, commences theoretical
farmer, and misleads his tenants with ridiculous experi-
ments. The Lord-Lieutenant, a Whig Duke, makes
him a magistrate to secure his political influence; but a
contested election, and the interference of the Anti-Corn-
law League, brings the new squire forth as an opponent
to the Duke's son for a vacancy in the county. Farmers,
Anti-Corn-law Leaguers, orators, and several equally
well-known disciples of the new systems of agriculture,
are said to figure prominently and most amusingly on
the scene, which it is expectei will create no slight de-
gree of entertainment from the pungent satire that per-
vades it, and the faithful picture it affords of life in our
rural districts.
• IMPORTANT TO RAILWAY SURVEYORS.—OR Mon-
day last Mr. Thomas Nichols, surveyor, was charged be-
fore the magistrates with trespassing upon some land of
J. G. Smythe, Esq., in the occupation of Mr. William
Bennett, at Agbrigg. Mr. Bennett stated that the de-
fendant had been in his field for three days, surveying
for a prognated line of railway from Oakenshaw to
Wakefield ; on the third day he requested him to leave
the land, and on that day he was also requested to leave
by Mr. Scott, the bailiff of Mr. Smythe. lie refused to
do so, and a summons had been taken out against him.
In defence it was stated that Mr. Nichols was employed
by the Midland Railway Company to make the survey,
and if he was to ask leave of the owners of the property
before a survey could be made, it would be difficult to
get a survey of many of the projected lines. Mr. Holds-
worth said it was only courteous to ask leave of the
owners of property before going upon the land ; only the
other day some persons surveying for some line or
other had come upon his (Mr. Holilsworth's) pleasure
ground in the front of his house, and broken down the
fences without even asking leave, this he (Mr. Holds-
worth) said was very wrong. If any gentleman or oc-
cupier of land refused to allow a survey, after leave being
asked,
