b received by the committee of management—that no more
was required ; and he applied for the difference, and was re- '
fused scrip, or money, or any kind of satisfaction. Mr. Fa-
rance's solicitor now said that the scrip would be forthcoming,
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 inces-
santly occupied.
The Loin, Maxon—l certainly think I shall be 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 concersed 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 oourse which
the Lord Mayor might suggest. He thought Mr. Farance
ought to attend upon the next occasion in fader to give an
intelligible answer, forthat which Mr. Farance's solicitor had
given was really no answer at all.
The LORD Maxon.—l dare say, if you are not settled with
before this day week, Mr. Farance will attend here himself to
explain everything.!
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
the bankers.

The LORD Mimi said 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, we
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 had left the town without leaving a penny
either for us or the men they ordered us to employ, who wero
poor, and wanted their money. Thus were we left 200 miles
nearly from home with tavegn bills to pay, labouring men
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, bin arriting in town, on being im-
mediately settled with ; but we have not been able to get one
farthing or any portion. I therefore request your Lordship
to interfere on my behalf, as mine is a matter simplv of
wages, and, I beg humbly to submit, in your Lordship's
jurisdiction. Ido not wish to injure the parties; if Mr. M.
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 instrumeats 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,
t• HENRY ENGLAND, Spa-road, Bermondsey."
The Donn MAYOR 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 dis-
tress which was beginning to show itself.

PERILOUS SITUATION.—On Saturday evening last
Maria Whatley, of Wilton, a single woman, was rescued from
a watery grave, at Laverstock, by two men, named Lambert
and Teyborn, 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.—Sherburne Journal.
We regret to hear that the house of Robertson and
Co., of Watling-street, and also of Manchester and Dunferm-
line, have intimated that they are obliged to suspend their
payments, consequent on the failure of Messrs. R. and B.
Brown and Co. 'They state, however, that they have taken
stock, and expect to be able to exhibit a satisfactory account
to their creditors in a few days.—Chronicle
