14,!trlin GREAT WESTERN PROJECT.
'lal DUBLIN AND GALWAY LINE.
At the sitting of the Committee this day,
tp r• Rowe, Counsel for the Galway Canal Company, proceeded
layte before the Committee a statement of his case. He corn-
thtt e„'ed by commenting on the case which, he said, he conceived
,lii'-'°Jectors of the Dublin and Galway line had made out, and
from their own evidence alone, he confidently relied the
Ils,ntnittee would decide that the preamble of their Bill had not
sl,ll,„.l4nved. When first this project was spoken of the Conn.
had two lines before it, namely, the Mullingar and the
er.'4 and Galway. The former of those would pass through a
111;4 fertile country, while the latter took its course through the
1414 k and unproductive bog of Allen. He called upon the Corn.
',,s4ae to remember that the Canal Company, for whom he appeared,
144,13nt a naonopolising company, but one in which a number
Opu Ipns of small means had their little capital embarked, and
144; the Property of which certain small annuitants relied for the
klieb-"„s of subsistence; but even upon the grounds of public conve-
lit,Wei he would contend for it that this scheme should not be ap-
aotee,_dnr, and that the canal and the Mullingar line wonld be suficient
'he s-ct all the convenience the public required. He then adverted to
hkle4altie tables laid before the Committee by the witnesses on be-
nlitte°l the Dublin and Galway line, and contended that the Corn-
forZhad already had ample proof that those tables had been
106 'Ton quite fallacious data, and therefore it was only lead.
`4,-Ple astray when they were tempted to toke shares in such
taitt jitt* The Learned Counsel continued to address the Com.
BUI at great length, and concluded by expressing a hope this
should not be approved of.
th:TtYLoR replied, and in doing so recapitulated the evidence
tk'otleZ,,n al Company at great length, which he contended was a
ti—hoB company, and was anything but a useful company to

aoln ,-"e morn was cleared. After about a quarter of an hour the
he "la re-opened, and
Ni,henamitax stated that the Committee had agreed that the
:1441 ale of the Bill had been proved ; but they would require a
'4l;::.° be inserted in the Bill, binding the Company to complete

QUEEN'S BENCII-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury.)
ROSE V. GONIPERTZ AND OTHERS.
This case—an indictment at the prosecution of Captain Rose
for a conspiracy to obtain from him certain bills of exchange to
the amount of upwards of 17,000/. by fraudulent representations—
was: resumed this morning by the examination of witnesses for the

del nice.
I dr. COCKBURN, Q.C., in a most able and ingenious address,
teplied on the part of the plaintiff, commenting severely on the
ems rse adopted by counsel on the other side In attempting to shield
the defendants under insinuations cast upon the plaintiff, and
stigmatising the conduct of the former as of the most guilty and
nefarious character.
Lord DENMAN, in summing up, expressed a very strong opinion
on the guilt of the defendant Gompertz, and urged on the jury the
extremely suspicious nature of the transactions of the others ac..
cured; but leaving it to their decision whether the evidence was
sufficient to tix positive guilty participation upon all. Unless,
however, they thought that Francis Witham (the defendant,
against whom the evidence was apparently moie conclusive than
against the others, with the exception of Gompertz), or
some one of the accused was jointly concerned in the
fraud with Gompertz, all must alike be acquitted, as one alone
could not be found guilty of conspiracy.
The jury, after an absence of an hour and a half, returned a
verdict of Guilty against Gompertz, Not Guilty against William
Witham, and Guilty against Robert Witham, but accompanied
with a recommendation to mercy in consequence of his youth. No
verdict was returned against Francis Witham, he being dead, and
his name having been introduced in the indictment to fix the guilt
of conspiracy on any one of the other defendants, on whom alone,
in connexion Kith the deceased, the jury might think the guilt
was attachable.
Exceptions were then taken by counsel to the verdict, and
sentence was deferred.
THE QUEEN AT THE PROSECUTION OF THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V.
BARNARD GREGORY, OF THE " SATIRIST."
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD (with whom was Mr. Wordsworth)
stated the case for the prosecution. On the 2d day of De-
cember, 1842, the Duke of Brunswick preferred an indictment,
at the Central Criminal Court, against the present defendant, for
eleven separate libels, published in the Satirist newspaper, against
the prosecutor's character. The grand jury at that time found
true bills, arid by certiorari, the case being subsequently removed
to the Court of Queen's Bench, a verdict was obtained against the
defendant. This result wcs followed up by a series of the most
unfounded libels, commencing on Dec. 4, 184'2. The jury might
remember that a few years since a most revolting murder was com..
mitted in the neighbourhood of Waterloo.bridge on a female (Eliza
Grimwood), on which occasion a person was charged with the
commission of the murder, but was subsequently, from want of suf.
scient implicatory evidence, liberated. On the sth of March, 1843, an
article was published in the Satirist mysteriously imputing the
guilt of that murder to the Dike of Brunswick. The next article
set out in the information was one published on the 1 2th of March,
followed up by another still more explicit of the 16th of April.
and the last complained of, of the 7th of May, 1843.
All these, without making any specific charge, insinuated that the
murder of the unhappy woman was committed by th presont pro.
secutor, and it was for this disgraceful suggestion, for which he
need not say there was not even the slightest shadow of foundation,
and which were made doubtlessly for the purpose of extorting
money, he asked the jury to give a verdict consistent with the atro-
city of the case and the ends of public justice.
Mr. William Carter, examined by Mr. WORDSWORTH, deposed
to having held an inquest on the body of Eliza Grimwood, on the
2Sth May, 1838, in his capacity as Coroner for the county of
Surrey, and that a verdict of Guilty of Wilful Murder against
some person or persons unknown" was returned.
Other evidence was then adduced, including the formal proof
of the inquest and verdict on the murder, the connexion of
Gregory with the Satirist, and the interpetration put upon the
libels.

(The case was proceeding when our report left.)
