QUEEN'S BENCH.--(THIS DAY.)
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
THE QUEEN V. THE NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY COM-
PAN Y.—MANDAMUS.
Mr. Sergeant CLARKS moved for a rule calling on the
-North Midland Railway Company to show cause why a
mandamus should not issue, ordering them to build a
bridge across a .certain road which was crossed by
the line of railway. The affidavits stated that at the
time when this portion of the railway had been first
planned, the offic.,rs of the Company had stated it as
heir opinion that such bridge ought to be constructed,
and had agreed to construct it. They had,• however,
neglected so to do, and were proceeding with the con-
struction of the railway to the injury of the road, and
without constructing the hrldge.

The app!ication «•as granted.
THE QUEEN V. THE COMMISSIONERS FOR BUILDLNG

NEN CHUM:RES.—MANDAMUS.
Mr. KELLY moved for a rule, calling upon the defen-
dants to show cause why a mandamus should not issue
ordering them to set apart a sufficient number of sittings
in the new district church at flighgate, for the accom-
modation of the master, the governors, and guardians
of Sir Roger Ch(dmondeley's Free Grammar School,
together with their families, and also scholars of the
sail school. Prior to the year 1830 there bad been a
chapel attached to the school, capable of accommodating
700 persons. Under certain proceedings in Chancery, a
scheine had been agreed upon, and an Act of Parliament
had passed in 1830 to carry it into effect, under the pro-
vision: of which the chapel was to be polled down, and a
new district church built upon its site, towards the
building of which the school property was to contribute
2,0001, and what the governors were to receive in ex-
change fur their chapel and for their 2,000 L, was
accoamodation in the district church for themselves
and their families, for the master and his family, and
for the scholars. The church had been built, and the
Commissioners had set apart a pew containing eight
sittings for the master and his family, and for the go-
vernors two pews, containing twelve sittings. The go
verr,ors were six in number, and considered themselves
as entitled to each a separate pew containing six sit
tinge. At all events, twelve sittings cou'd not be consi-
dered as sufficient accommodation for six persons and
their families.
Lord DENMAN—Take a rule nisi.
A pplication granted.
LaqGHOVE V. BENHAM.—PICKERSCILL V. BENHAM.
These were actions against one of the overseers of
the parish of Windsor to recover penalties, to which he
had rendered himself liable by neglecting to pay the
plaintiffs the amount of costs which they had incurred in
prosecuting to conviction a party for keeping a disor-
derly house. The plaintiff in the first case was the con-
stable, and in that case the verdict was in his favour. In
the second, the plaintiff was one of the inhabitants,
and in that case the verdict had been for defendant, the
plaintiff having failed to prove a sufficient demand. In
:Jodi cases leave had been reserved by Mr. Justice Wight-
man, before whom they had been tried, to the respective
parties to move to act the verdict aside.
. The Solicitor-General in the first case, on behalf of
the -defendant, and Mr'. Platt in. the second case, on be-
half of plaintiff, now moved accordingly.
-The COURT ordered the two causes to be argued as a
epeeial case.

EXCHEQUER—(THIS DAY).
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
CLARKE V. KENDRICK.

This case was tried at the London Sittings after last
Michaelmas Term, and a nonsuit entered for the plain-
tiff. The plaintiff it appeared had discovered a mode of
cleansing and enamelling cast-iron hollow ware, particu-
larly saucepans, to be used for culinary and che-
mical purposes, so as not to be injured by fire,
for which he took out a patent. The invention
turned out to be a highly useful one, and the defendant
having interfered with the rights conferred by the pa-
tent, the plaintiff brought his action against him. On
the trial an old patent, dated 1799, and granted to a per-
son named Hinckley for the same purposes, was produced
by the defendant, under whom he alleged he worked,
and a verdict was given in his favour, the plaintiff being
iionsuited. It was proved, however, at the trial, that
the saucepans produced by the plaintiff were far superior
to the others produced under Ilinekley's patent, and that
the materials employed were different.
Mr. NIARTIN now moved for a rule to set aside the
finding of the jury, and for a new trial.
Rule nisi granted.

loi1;11I1T of the PUBLIC JOURNALS
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAT.
GLOBE.—The state of Ireland will, it is ()Tile
rally understood, be brought before Parliament
very early in the approaching session. If in the
Speech from the Throne there be any allusion
Ito the condition of the sister country—and it
is scarcely possible to assume that the en-
grossing subject of Ireland should be alto-
gether omitted from the Speech of the So-
vereign at the opening of the Parliament—an
amendment will be moved on the Address. If,
aware of the embarrassing position in which they
are placed by the State prosecutions, and the
extraordinary proceedings by which the prepa-
rations for the trials have been marked, they be
desirous of gaining a short respite from the con-
sequences of a discussion in Parliament on those
iopics, and Ministers resolve on having an open-
ing Speech from which the most important and
-generally interesting topic shall be omitted, then
em an early day, of which notice will be given by
Lord John Russell on the first evening of the
Session, the Noble Lord will announce his inten-
tion of moving that the House resolve itself into
.Committee, for the purpose of taking into its
roost serious consideration the state of
:.reland. The Ministerial organs already de-
; In.witte Vie inquiry ; and complain of the course
ivhich, it is understood, the Opposition will
s dept iu forcing on a debate upon the policy of Mi-
x inters in Ireland, in the agitated state of public
!eling in that country, and while the trial of
ie Repeal leaders is yet pending. We cannot
,incur. is thc view taken by the objectors to
(wiry. It cannot be forgotten that Govern-
qtt. last session refused a Committee. They
3re ferred coercion to conciliation. They sought
is. intimidate, by a multiplication of *unitary
force., a country which they, as a party,
Lad exasperated by injustice. They point to
tits, strong measures as a proof of the superi-
ayijy of their policy. Upbraided with their
iocition, 'when promptitude was required to pre-
Teat dissatisfaction from growing into disaffec-
tic,n, and agitation into open insurrection, Minis-
it es' became suddenly active. But it was
• iscbievous activity. They had far better
bwe remained, as they were, indifferent and
• ,athetic. Their prosecution of
,O'Connell and
co-adjutors—instead of inducing the Ca-
tholic population to desert him, or the pro-
ject with which he deludes their hopes of
e,taining relief from the pressure of varied
and accumulated grievances of which they
c„mtplain—has but increased their attachment to
the chief agitator. Enthusiasm for Repeal is
xrised to a still more dangerous pitch than while
p.trliament was sitting. Such being the state of
things in Ireland—the country occupied by a tni-
bt; try force, as though it had been recently con-
q - 7
isored • the people fevered by excitement ;
$ State prosecution against the leaders of
• , agitation, pending, on the trial of
whom the Government lib admitted—not
by equivocal words, but y unmistakeable
act*-they cannot trust a single Roman
Catholic juror, although the members of that
(3ommunity.number as seven to one of the entire
TK;pulation ; an aggregate meeting of the Catho-
lics convened in Dublin to protest against this
in'ury and insult to the religion of the bulk of the
people, and to that of a very large number
of the English—with these portentous appear-
avi:es, attributed to the policy of the Government,
is there not a case for Parliamentary inquiry? Is
it riot demanded by the country as the necessary
result of such a combination of facts, which in-
volve the tranquillity, if not the integrity, of an
important member of the empire ? Will not a
sefusarby Ministers to go into Committee on the
*At of Ireland, amount to a virtual admission
