superintendent of the traffic department, and a printed
form was placed before him by that gentleman, who re-
quested him to fill in, in writing, the nature of the circum-
stances attending his complaint. He did so, and was told he
should hear from the Company on the subject. Some days
after he received a communication, and in consequence of it he
again called at Nine Elms, when he was informed that the
officer at the Walton station had denied the truth of his (Mr.
Lee's) statement, and that nothing further could be done in
the matter. He urged the injustice that had been done to hiss
through the act, alone, of the Company's own officer, and also
the injustice of compelling him to pay eight shillings, the first-
class fare both ways, when it must have been quite apparent
from the tickets which he had delivered up, that both himself
and Mrs. Lee had gone down by a second-class carriage. His
representation, however, was to no purpose ; he was again told
that nothing more could be done, and that if he wanted to pro-
ceed farther in the matter, he must go to the Company's so-
licitors in Bedford-row. Mr. Lee deemed it to be but an act
of justice towards himself, as well as one of duty towards the
public, to seek redress for the injury, and the object of his pre-
sent application was to know whether his Worship possessed the
power as a magistrate to assist him, and, if not, to request his
advice how he was to obtain redress.

Mr. Henry—l am much afraid I have no power to inter.
fere or assist you. However, I will look over the Act, and
see whether I have any jurisdiction in the matter.
Mr. Henry here looked over various clauses in the volumi-
nous Act, and after doing so said it was as he had expected,
that he had no power to interfere in the matter.
Mr. Lee—Does your worship think I can make a debt of it,
and summons the officer of the company who demanded and
received the additional 2s. Bd. to the Court of Requests ?
Mr. Henry—l think not. Your only remedy would be by
action.

Mr. Lee—lt's a formidable affair to go to law with such
body as the directors of the company, and so the officers
must have thought when they referred me to their solicitor ;
hut still it's very provoking to have been served as I have been
merely through the blunder, if it may be called so, of the
company's own servant.
Mr. Henry—The present is the first oomplaint that has been
made of the Company or their officers since this Court has
been opened, and I must say, from what I have seen of the
officers when attending here on business, that they appeared to
me to evince every disposition to civility and attention. I think
that, under the circumstances, I should give them an opportu-
nity of answering your complaint, and with this ♦iew shall send
to the Secretary of the Company to request his attendance, or
the attendance of some other competent officer, to give some
explanation of the matter at this Court on Monday or Tuesday
next. In the interim I will have an opportunity of looking
into the various clauses of the Act of Parliament, and will be
better able to say whether, while it afforded every protection
to the Company itself against frauds and improprieties of all
sort., it also afforded equal protection to the public.
Mr. Lee expressed his thanks to the Magistrate for his kind-
ness and attention, t.nd said he should appear again when
required.

Mr. Murphy, the Mexican Minister, transacted busi-
ness yesterday at the Foreign- office.
Mr. Greville had an interview with Sir James Graham
yesterday, at the Homc-office.
