PROSPECTUS.
The object of the proposed undertaking is to unite the city of Exeter
with the towns of Yeovil and Bridport, as forming a part of the
great integral scheme for making the best direct railway comunica-
tion froin the metropolis, through Exeter to the important seaports and
harbours in the British Channel, as well as completing the chain
of south coast communication from the ports of Dover, Portsmouth,
and Southampton, to Exeter, Plymouth, and Falmouth.
Between Yeovil and Westbury, the Wilts, Somerset, and Wey-
mouth Railway will form the main line of communication, at which
latter pline it will join a proposed extension of the Berks and Hants
Railway from Ilungerford, carried through the Pewsey Valley, as
shown more diatiactly in the accompanying plan. The Berks and
Slants, and the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Bills have already
passed, and those lines are under construction. The Great Western
Railway Company will apply for ;the extension from litingerford to
Westbury, only thirty-five miles, in the approaching session.
The lino of the Exeter Great Western Railway is intended to com-
mence at a distance of about three miles from Exeter, by a junction
with the Bristol and Exeter Railway at Stoke Canon, and proceed-
ing thence by Ottery Saint Mary and Honiton, will pass into the
Valley of the Axe at Axminster. From that place, the main Lne, in
one direction, will continue along the same valley, passing within
about three miles of Chard (which town it is proposed to connect
with the main line by a short branch), and through Crewkerne, to-
wards Yeovil, near to which town it will join the Wilts, Somerset,
and Weymouth Railway. From Axminster, the main line, in the
other direction, will proceed near to Lyme Regis, and thence to
ltridport, where it will also join the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth
Railway, leading towards Dorchester and the coast line to South-
ampton.
It is agreed that the line shall t e worked by the Great Western
Railwa Compan, under a lese, as in the case of the Wilts, Somer-
set, and Weymouth Railway;! in consideration of which, the Great
Western Railway Company have undertaken to guarantee to the
proprietors four per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital, with
an increase of one-half per cent., in proportion to any dividend of one
per cent. upon their own stock, exceeding eight per cent., which in-
crease shall be payable' to the proprietors of the Exeter Groat
Western Railway Company, in addition to the guaranteed rate ; and
the Great Western Railway Company are to become responsible for
all the preliminary expenses, in case the Act shall not be obtained
within the two next sessions of Parliament.
The capital will be raised in 26,000 shares of 01. each, upon which
a deposit of hi.- per share will be paid upon subscriptions, and no
fUrther call will be made previously to obtaining the Act of Incor-
poration.
Interest at four per cent. per annum will be allowed, after the Act
shall have passed, on the deposit, and on all paid-up calls during the
construction of the line, and until the dividends are provided for,
under the guarantee of the Great Western Railway Company.
The notices are already given, and the plans and books of re-
ference will be deposited in time for the Act to be applied for at the
meeting of Parliament.. If the Act should not be obtained, as before
mentioned, the depositwill be paid back to the proprietors, but with-
out interest.
A decided preference will be given to landowners and to parties
locally interested, or residing on the line, in the allotment of shares.
The prospectus may be obtained, and applications made for shares,
to the Secretary of the Great Western Railway Company, at the
London'office of the Company, 449, West Strand, or at the Padding-
ton or Bristol stations, or may be addressed to the care of any of the
Bankers and Solicitors.—Unexceptionable references must be given
when parties applying Mr shares are net personally known, or locally
interested In the line.

LA W INTELLIGENCE•

b' received by the committee of management—flo no more
was required ; and he applied for the differear and w....a5,"-
fusei scrip, or money, drany-kirret-e-srffgaction. IMr. ,r
rance's solicitor tow said that the scrip would be forthcoining,,
and that was the answer to the complaint..
Mr. Redpath said it was evident this business was brought.
forward for the purpose of influencing the committee of
management. If the Lord Mayor would consent to listen to-
complaints of this description, his Lordship would be ince-
sandy occupied.
The Lona MAYOR—I certainly think I shall bo over-
whelmed with complaints about these transactions. In this
case there can be no question as to the obligation upon the
committee of management to pay back the difference be-
tween the first deposit required and that which was subse-
quently described as all that was considered necessary. Per-
haps the best course for me to take is to let the summons
stand over for a week, and, in the interval, the committee
of management may see the necessity of coming to a settle-
ment.
Mr. Redpath—l do not ask for an adjournment for my
client, my Lord. He has nothing to answer for.
The applicant—The secretary suggested to me to write
to the board. I did so, but the board returned no answer.
At, length the secretary told me the board had come to the.
determination to return no money.
Mr. Redpath—The committee have a duty to observe to-
wards all who have been concerned in the Company, and Mr..
Farance has to act according to their instructions..
Here the Lord Mayor consulted Mr. Goodman, and imme-
diately afterwards said to Mr. Chapple and the other appli-
cant, " Why not go at once to the Mayor's Court, and attach
the money at the banker's? That appears to me to be the
most ready and effectual course."
Mr. Chapple said, he would gladly adopt any course which
the Lord Mayor might suggest. He thought Mr. Farance
ought to attend upon the neat occasion in order to give an
intelligible answer, for that which Mr. Faracce's solicitor had
given was really no answer at all.
The LORD MAYOR.—I dare say, if you are not settled with
before this day week, Mr. Farance will attend here himself to
explain everything.t
The summons was then adjourned till next Friday.
We have been given to understand that already a great
number of attachments have been issued from the Mayor's
Court, attaching railroad money deposited in the hands of

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 5.
(Sittings at Guildhall, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and
a London Common Jury.)
MASON V. FLETCHER
This was an undefended action of assault, tille defendant
allowing judgment to go by default, and the only question
for the jury being the amount of damages.
The assault complained of was committed when the de-
fendant, who is a medical student, was in a state of delirium
tremens, represented to be the result of intemperance. The
defendant, it appeared from the statement of Mr. Nair, a
medical gentleman who had attended the defendant
during his illness, was under a delusion, the result
of his illness, fancying that all who attended him
were conspiring against his life. The plaintiff, in whose
house the defendant lodged at the time (in July of this
year), was in the habit of sitting up with defendant,
as well as the witness himself, and an object of the defendant's
especial animosity. The plaintiff interfering in a scuffle
which took place between the defendant and Mr. Nair, when
the former was making an attempt to escape from
the room, received a kick in the lower part of the abdomen,
the result of which was a rupture, from which he has not
yet recovered. Several surgeons, who had seen the plaintiff
while under the effect of the injury, were examined to
prove the extent of his sufferings, and also the expense to
which he was put, viz., surgical attendance and medicine.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE having summed up shortly,
The jury found a verdict for plaintiff—Damages, 801.
HOLMES V. THE FOUNDER& COMPANY.
This was an action to recover compensation for an injury
'done to plaintiff by an accident, which occurred in conse-
quence of the neglect of the defendants. Damages were laid
at 500/.
Mr. Sergeant Talfeurd and Mr. Lush were for the plain-
tiff, and Mr. Sergeant Byles for the defendants.
Before the swearing of the jury,
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD inquired whether any members
of the Founders' Company were on the jury?
The Court having ascertained that there were not, the
jury was sworn, and
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD stated the case, the facts of which
are as follows :—The plaintiff is a publican and eating-house
keeper, in Grocers' Hall-court, Poultry, and on the 28th of
May last was passing by Founders'- court, which is a
passage between the Founders' Hall, on the one hand, and the-
Commercial Bank of England, the Church of England In-
surance Office, and the Founders' Arms public-house, on the
other. This court is blind, but as it is lightel at the public
expense, he (Mr. Sergeant Talfourd) did not conceive
that . it - could be asserted that it was not a
public thoroughfare. In this passage there were some altera-
tions going on, in the course of which a deep hole had been
dug in an arched recess at one side, which hole had remained
there for a long time, and ought to have been removed
by the company. Mr. Mason had occasion to go into
the court, and, though it had been represented that
he went there for an improper purpose, he (Mr. Segeant Tal-
fourd) thought that such a pretence could not be supported,
as there was a sink there with a gutter; and, indeed, al-
though the defendant had given in pleas of, first, " Not
guilty"—second, that the plaintiff entered the passage for
an unmoral purpose, and must therefore take the consequence
of the injury, the passage not being a thoroughfare—yet,
the latter plea had been withdrawn, and the only plea was
not guilty. The plaintiff on entering the court for the purpose
previously intimated, went to the recess, and was going
into the place, not perceiving the hole, when his foot slipped,.
and he fell to the bottom, where he lay in a state almost of
insensibility, till he was heard groaning by an old woman
who was passing by, and who gave the alarm to Mr.
Cutby, the manager of the Commercial Bank of England,
who was going in at the private door of the bank, which is
in the court. Mr. Cutby, also hearing the groans, called a
policeman, who having got down into the hole by means of
a ladder, he, with the assistance of other policemen, who
were brought to the spot by the old woman, got the
man out, and took him to the public-house. A
surgeon was then sent for, and, it was found that, falling on
his feet, he had suffered a compound fracture, and one of the
bones of the foot had been forced out of its place so as to in-
re the leg. He was indeed so much injured that he
kkept his bed for a period of ten weeks, and after
that time he was obliged to go about on crutches, and
would, probably, be a cripple for life. He had applied for
compensation to the Founders' Company, who said they
were very sorry for the accident which had happened to
Mr. Holmes, but that Messrs. Burton, the builders, were
the responsible persons, and that the Company bad nothing
to do with it. Now he (Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, thought
'no such defence could be sustained, if intended, as every one
is responsible for the conduct of his agents, and indeed it
would be impossible to maintain an action against the
builders in this case.
Mr. Cutby, manager of the Commercial Bank of England,
Mrs. Gummer, landlady of the Founders' Arms public-house,
and City policeman 170, gave evidence as to the facts stated
by Mr. sergeant Talfourd in his address.
Mr. Elliot, a surgeon, stated that he was called to the
assistance of Mr. Holmes on the night in question. He found
a compound fracture of the leg, and dislocation of the ancle.
The plaintiff was confined to his be; for ten weeks, and after
that time he was obliged to use a crutch. He was
not ,yet thoroughly recovered, nor would he be
for some time. He might, perhaps, recover the use of his
leg by next summer; but it was not certain. Witness's bill
for attendance and instruments was 27/. 3s. 6d.
Mary Jane Holmes, the plaintiff's daughter, spoke
to the injury done to his business by his illness.
He had before the accident a good business, capable
of supporting himself and Lis family, bait that after
he had been laid up in consequence of the accident, the busi-
ness had so declined,: that they were obliged to give it
up. He was now engaged to manage a beersshop for a
brewer.
This was the plaintiff's case.
Mr. Sergeant Brixsaddressed the Court on the part of the de-
fendants,and raised three objections to the plaintiff's declaration
First, it was stated that the defendants had made a hole in a
certain archway, and opening into a certain public highway.
Now the court in question, which the hole opened upon, was
not a public highway. It was a private passage to the four
buildings on either side, namely, the Founders' Hall, the
Commercial Bank, the Insurance Office, and the public-house.
He ( Mr. Sergeant Byles) contended that this court, being a
cceul-de-sae, could not be a public way. Secondly, the
action lay, if against any one, against the builders, who were
not the servants of the Company and the Company would
not be responsible unless they were their servants.
Thirdly, even if the court were a public thorough-
fare, and if the Company were resposible for what
was done by the builders, they were not bound to cover an
opening wh'ich was entirely on their own property, and not
infringing the public property.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he would reserve the point,
if necessary.
After a desultory discussion,
Mr. Sergeant BYLES having addressed the jury,
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and
The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1501.

The LORD MAYOR (aid he had received the following re-
markable letter, which certainly was calculated to excite
compassion for the sufferers:—

" Dec. 5, 1845.
" Mr. M., of the Old Jewry, employed me to survey on the
Great Leeds and London Direct Railway. He took me and
several others to Doncaster on Monday, the 10th ult. We
were engaged till Saturday, the 22d, and when we went on
Saturday evening to the Angel Inn for money, wo
found a letter, which I produce, stating that we
were not to proceed with the surveys, &c., as the
company were about amalgamating with some other line.
Mr. M.'s party bad left the town without leaving a peiny
either for us or the men they ordered us to employ, who wee
poor, • and wanted their money. Thus were we left 200 miles
nearly from home .with tavern bills to pay, labouring meta
clamouring for money, and without the means of leaving, or
paying their expenses. We were obliged to apply to our
friends for money to discharge our bills, and part of the
men's wages, calculating, on arriving in town, on being im-
mediately settled with ; but we have not been able to get one
farthing or tiny portion I therefore request your Lordship
to interfere on my behalf, as mine is a matter simply of
wages, and, I beg humbly to submit, in your Lordship's
jurisdiction. Ido not wish to injure the parties; if Mr. MI.
will pay me a few pounds•at once, I will let the balance stand
over for his convenience. There are several in the same
state, and our instruments and luggage are left for our bills,
so that we are unable to accept any other engagement until
we get the matter arranged.
" Hoping your Lordship will pardon this long intrusion on
your time, I beg permission to remain, your Lordship's most
obedient servant,
" HENRY ENGLAND, Spa-road, Bermondsey."
The Lonn MAron apprehended that there were a great
many cases parallel to that which the letter he had just read
recited, and he trusted that the provisional committee would
see the immediate necessity of relieving the miserable die-
tress which was beginning to show itself.

Mr. Sergeant BYLES, having handed in a bill of excel,
tions, asked leave to abandon it at a future time, if he should
think fit, and move for a new trial.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD objected to his friend taking this
double course ; and after some discussion,
The Louu CHIEF JUSTICE said that the Learned Counsel
could not have leave to move, unless he abandoned the bill of
exceptions at once.
Mr. Sergeant BYLES preferred to adhere to the bill of ex-
ceptions.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Yesterday Mr. Chapple, newspaper agent, of Lombard-
street, appeared before the Lord Mayor, to make a complaint
against Mr. Farance, the secretary to the Great Manchester,
Rugby, and Southampton Railway Company, under circum-
stances which are said to exist in a great variety of cases.
Mr. Redpath, solicitor to Mr. Farance, attended for that
gentleman, who was not present during the investigation.
Several geutlemen who had paid upon shares which were
allotted, but never received, were in the justice-room, and, as
might be expected, a great deal of curiosity was excited and
; expressed.
Mr. Chapple said—l applied, by letter, to the Provisional
Committee of the Great Manchester, Rugby, and Southamp-
ton Railway, for shares, and received a letter allotting me
forty shares, and desiring me to pay the sum of 841. deposit
upon them on or before the 7th of November, at the
London Joint-Stock Bank, in Prince's-street. I accord-
ing paid the money required, and received a receipt from one
of the cashiers. Upon the following day I received a
printed circular from the offices of the Provisional Com-
mittee, in Exchange-buildings, signed by Mr. Farance, the
secretary, informing mei that the committee of management
had decided upon limiting the deposits to 10s. per share,
and stating that the remaining 11. 12s. would not be re-
quired till January next. I naturally applied as soon as
possible, upon getting this information, to Mr. Farance for
the balance of 11. 12s. per share, but he said the committee
of management had no notion of adopting that course. I
then asked for the scrip to which I was entitled, but Mr.
Farance said it was the intention of the committee to issue
no more scrip.
The Loup MAYOR—Then you want your scrip or your
money? Mr. Chapple—l want my money. They had con-
tracted to go to Parliament, and they have been unable to
accomplish that object, and I demand that my money be re-
turned.
Mr. Redpath, solicitor to Mr. Farance—Was any reason
assigned by Mr. Farance for not giving you the scrip? Mr.
Chapple—The only answer I received was, that the commit-
tee of management had come to the resolution not to issue
any more. I heard a gentleman say that he had received
scrip after I had been refused.
Mr. Redpath—Have you signed the Parliamentary. con-
tract? Mr. Chapple—Certainly not. I have neither signed
the deed nor received the scrip, and I had no satisfaction at
all of any kind.
Mr. Redpath submitted that his client, Mr. Farance, had
nothing whatever to do in the matter. The committee _un
management had instructed him that, under eststingtci
e
in th
stances, there being no time to get before Parliament
ensuing session, it was advisable to issue no m oireinscrenip The
committee had, he supposed, a discretionary p
, a
Farance had no authority to pay back the owernd Mr.
deposits or to in-
terfere with their decision in any way. In fact, there was
no reasonable pretence for summoning the secretary. He
(Mr. Redpath) knew nothing whatever of the company. He
had not even known before e attended the justice-room on
the occasion that Mr. Farance was tie secretary. It ap-
however, that Mr. Chapple could now get the scrip
peered,
by signing the deed. h
The Loma MAYOR--W ois thechairman of the company
Mr. Redpath protested that he was wholly ignorant of any
of the matters connected with the company, but he knew
there was nothing objectionable upon the part of his client,
who had acted uniformly upon the instructions of the com-
mittee.
Here an applicant, whose name was not mentioned, ad-
dressed the Lord Mayor. He said that he had a complaint
of a similar kind to make. He did not want the scrip,which
he considered of no use. What he wanted was the amount
of the deposits which he had paid.
Mr. Redpath—l only appear for Mr. Farance, and I cannot
see that the Lord Mayor has any jurisdiction in the question.
It was merely from respect to the Lord Mayor that any no-
tice was taken of the summons. If any dispute exists be •
tween the partners in this concern, this is not the place in
which it can be settled.
The applicant said, he did not consider that Mr. Farance's
solicitor had given any answer at all to the charge. The offer
of the scrip at such a time was quite useless. After the pay-
ment of the deposit of two guineas per share a printed paper,
signed by Mr. Farance, as secretary, was sent to those who
had paid, announcing that no more than 10s. per share would

PERILOUS SITUATION.---Oo Saturday evening last
Maria Whatley, of Wilton, a single woman, was rescued from
a watery grave, at Laverstock, by two men, named Lambert
and Teyhorn, who heard her piteous groans. She was much
intoxicated, and it is generally supposed, from the position
she was found in, that she must have been dragged across
two deep water-carriages to the rapid.stream where she was
found. She is now very ill.—Sherborne Journal.
