the habit of sending 500 tons a year into that county. At present
he sent by water, but if the railway were made, he should send it by
that means, as there would be a saving of 2s. 6d. a ton in the
carriage to Gainsborough, and a similar saving to Brigg, if the
Lincoln and Sheffield line were made. The difference to him
of sending by the Direct Northern, instead of by the London and
York, would be a saving by the former line of eight miles, and in
money Is. a ton. There was a good deal of shipbuilding at Thorne,
though the consumption of last year had not been so great as
usual.

Mr. Backhouse of Weston, near York, a landowner, stated that
the London and York line passed Camwood just at the
junction of two 'streets, and would be a great in-
convenience to the town. The Direct Northern passed about
200 yards away from that spot, and would interfere less with the
town a great deal than the other line. It also passed at a higher
level, and would interfere less with the drainage of the district,
and was certainly best adapted for the place.
This closed the evidence on the part of the promoters of the line,
And the Committee adjourned till twelve on Monday, when the
application of the Counsel for the London and York for the decision
of the Committee on their line is to be discussed.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall, before Lord DnwsteN and a

Common Jury.)
BROWN, ADMINISTRATRIX, V. HORNER.
Mr. Archbold appeared on behalf of the plaintiff, and Mr. Leech
for the defend,,nt.

This was an action brought to recover 901. from defendant, who
had been a baker by trade, and had contracted to supply Newgate with
bread ; plaintiff's husband had been foreman in one of defendant's es-
tablishments, and was to be paid a:certain sum per sack for each sack of
flour made into bread. The defendant alleged that plaintiff's husband
made only 92 instead of 96 quartern loaves from each sack. A fact
was also elicited by the evidencelto the effect that a large quantity of
the fat of meat sent to be baked at a baker's is a source of profit to
him, inasmuch as that he saves it as it flows over, in order to prevent
it, wnile in a molten state, from setting fire to the oven. Alto-
gether the case appeared to be rather a complicated one.
and of no public interest whatever. Witnesses having been exa.
mined on both sides, his'Lordship summed up, and read the whole of
the evidence, after which thel jury retired, and returned into Court
with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 73/. 10s.

HOLLOWAY V. HOWARD.

This was an action for the recovery of the keep of a horse.

It appeared from the evidence that the defendant left a horse
with, the plaintiff, who lets out his land for the purpose of horses
kept at grass. The horse was left with plaintiff' for 74 weeks, at
the expiration of which time he sold the horse for 111. 12s 6d.,
and now brought his action for the balance of the expense of the
horse's keep, at the rate of Bs. per week, deducting the above
sum. The defendant's witnesses contended that plaintiff agreed
with the defendant to take the horse at the end of six months, for
the amount of the expense of his keep.
The jury then retired, but up to the usual hour for the adjourn-
ment of the Court there was no likelihood of their agreeing to a
verdict.
