THE TUNBRIDGE WELLS, BRIGHTON,
and HASTINGS JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.
From Tunbridge Wells Direct to Hastings, with a Branch Line from
the same place to join the Brighton line at Lewes.
(Provisionally Registered.)
Capital, 750,0001., in 30,000 Shares of 251. each.
Deposit, 2/. I2s. 6d. per Share.
PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE.
Thomas Farncombe, Esq., Alderman of London, Director of the

existing or projected, but will materially add to the traffic of all,
and prove to them a most valuable auxiliary.
Commencing at Leek, it will form au extension of a line already
in course of construction ; and, passing through Winster and Ashover,
at or near Mansfield, it will unite with the Sheffield, Newark, and
Boston, the Derby, Gainsborough, and Great Grimsby, and the
Nottingham and Mansfield Railways ; or, should it be considered
more desirable, the point of junction may be with the Sheffield and
Lincolnshire Railway, at Retford.
Although not possible adequately to appreciate the importance of
this line, a glance at the map will show that it perfects the communi-
cation from Boston to Holyhead, and Is called for by public necessity.
At present there is no direct canal nor even an ordinary turnpike
road for the purpose of transit of the various and inexhaustible pro-
ducts of these extensive mineral districts. On the one hand, the bulk
of the cattle and other agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Not-
tinghamshire, and the large quantities of flour and malt made at and
near to the towns of Mansfield and Newark, find their way to the
western markets by circuitous routes, the cost and delay attending
their transmission being enormous ; and, on the other, the products
of the paint manufactories, and of the Barytes works at Ashbomme
and Cromford, and other minerals, are now sent many miles out of
the direct course in order to reach their destination.
From its junction with so many railways, and affording a direct
communication through the country from east to west, it is scarcely
possible to compute the amount of passenger traffic which may be
expected on this comparatively short line.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 41.
per centnm per annum on the deposit-money, as well as on all calls,
from the date of each payment till the opening of the line, or until a
dividend be declared ; and the liability of subscribers will be limited
by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective shares in
the undertaking.
Applications for shares to be made, in the usual form, to P. A.
Burrell, Esq., solicitor, No. 1, White Hart-court, Lombard-street;
and to the following Stock and Sharebrokers : viz., in London, to
Messrs. Hitchens and Harrison, 18, Threadnecdle-street ; Messrs. B.

Mr. Street stated, that he was librarian to the Stock Exchange,
and th.lt on !:,t I,lr c a• .. .;.
as,au,t of spitting upon I,lln scvcii or eight Tiie
was perpetrated in Leadenhall.street, at a little after two o'clock,
but how to account for it witness could not at all conjecture.
Mr. Wetenhall at the same time called witness a d—d stuttering
scoundrel.
Policeman 515 said that he heard an altercation between the
gentlemen, and he saw that Mr. Street's (the complainant's) face
and hat had been spat upon ; he did not see any person spit upon
Mr. Street, but he heard Mr. Wetenhall call him a d—d scamp,
or scoundrel.

The LORD MAYOR—Did you hear Mr. Street complain of having
been spat upon ? Policeman—l did.

The LORD MAYOR—Did you hear Mr. Wetenhall deny that he
had spat upon him ? Policeman—l did not.

The Loan Mavon— And you heard Mr. Wetenhall call him a
scamp when he complained ? Policeman—l did.

Mr. \Vetenhall, who exhibited much impatience during this
brief statement of the occurrence, declared that he had never since
the day of his birth, which took place sixty years ago, done such a
thing, or contemplated such a thing, as be had been accused of.
But the fact was, that the complainant, who called himself libra-
rian to the Stock Exchange, was what was called a " stag,"
nothing but a " stag."—(Laughter) Now he (defendant) was
publisher of the list called " Wetenhall's List," and he certainly
had received provocation to use rsugh language, and to denounce
the " stag." There were gentlemen present at the time who had
seen and heard more than the officer knew.

The Loan MAYOR—It is in evidence, that instead of denying that
you had spat upon the complainant when you were accused of hav-
ing done so, you called him by an opprobrious name.
Mr. Wetenhall—My Lord, the officer did not come up at the
commencement.

The LORD MAYOR—NO, he did not see you spit upon the com-
plainant, but he heard you aggravate the offence by using abusive
language, instead of indignantly declaring that you had never done
anything of the kind.
Mr. Wetenhall—l now deny that I spat upon him.
The Loan MAYOR—I have no doubt upon the subject after what
I have heard, and I fine you 10s.
Mr. Wetenhall—l thank you, my Lord.
BOW-S7REET.

Yesterday a respectable-looking woman, named Sturdy, resid-
ing at 14, Crown street, was charged with assaulting constable
102 F.

The constable deposed that, at about II o'clock, the defendant,
and two other persons, were standing on the foot-way in Crown-
street, engaged in conversation, in consequence of which he re-
quested them to move on. They refused, and witness was pro-
ceeding to compel them, when the assault took place.
The defendant, whose statements were corroborated on oath by
her daughter and another young woman, who were the patties
present, said that she was Morely talking to her daughter and the
other witness, opposite her own door, and without causing any
obstruction, when the constable came up and ordered them off,
and almost immediately afterwards pushed her (the defendant)
down. She co.Aplained of this ill-treatment to the inspector at the
station, but, upon the representations of the constable, was locked
up all night.
The inspector proved that such complaint was made.
Mr. TWYFOItD, after remarking that the case seemed more
serious against the policeman than the defendant, gave the latter
her discharge.
