J URNS°
This Alsanac, the first of its race for the new year,
extends to 264 page?, and contains 124 engravingc, re-
presenting chaff cutting machines, furze-crushers, sub
soil ploughs, oil-cake mills, Beverly iron-works, portable
weighing machines, portable hand-mills, portable steam-
engines, thrashing machines, iron harrows, sheep
hurdles, and ploughs and hollers and rollers of every
variety, some of them invented by Mrs. Mary Wedlake
and not a few by the celebrated Mr, Dean. The agri-
cultural departtnent is excellent, containing ample in-
structions fur every species of agricultural operation for
each month, the results of experiments with different
manures, corn tables, the general rules of land measure,
all the phenomena of the sliding-scale, and pre-
dew to farmers for guarding against the
numerous enemies. which surround them. One for the
month of June runs thus :—" Watch your sheep; the
fly is now on the wing. Have your shears sharpened,
and the hellebore powder and black brimstone ready ;
the proportions * lb. of hellebore root powder to lb.
of black brimstone ; sprinkle from the head to the tail
with a dredging box, wash and shear your sheep ; see
that the clot is removed, and that theshearers do not cut
too close • have some ointment ready for the wounded
parts." We give this as a specimen of needless advice,
because any man who pretends to be a farmer ought to
know when to shear his sheep and sharpen his shears.
A great deal, however, of the Farmer's Calendar is of a
different deseriptibn, and some parts of it will convey
instruction even to the most experienced. But we would
advise the editors of this Almanac to cut off some of
the -superfluities, and substitute for them information
which would be . useful to most country people.
For instance, why not give a list of the bishops, the
judges cf the Courts of Law, and the lords-lieutenants
of counties. These could all be put in a very small coin-
pass, and would be acceptable intelligence to the lowest
clod-hopper. Were Messrs. Johnson and Shaw to pay
more attention to general information of this description,
they would soon find that the Almanac would not be
tiurchased by farmers only. Some errors too appear
which are inexcusable ; for instance, inthe list of Cabinet
Ministers, we find that the names of Lord Granville
ect make this a
Somerset, the Earl of Lincoln, and Mr. Sidney Herbert,
valuable book for killing time,
are omitted, and placed among those not of the Cabinet.
A little more attention in this resp Would
on a long winter's even
ing, around the farmer's hearth.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 8.

TIC MARQUIS OF JUTE V. TIC OLI&YORO•Ni8IRN CANAL COMPANY.
The LORD Cuareczt.Lon gave judgment to.day in this case,
which was argued shortly before the long vacation, on an appeal
tram the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England, who refused a
motion on behalf of the noble plaintiff, for the production of cer.
tain documents by the defendants. The facts of the case may be
thus shortly stated :—The plaintiff and the defendants were pos..
sessed of certain land, the boundary to each of which was a
ditch. On the part of the plaintiff it was asserted
that that boundary mark had been filled up by the
defendants, and he filed the bill for the purpose of obtaining
a commission to ascertain and settle the boundary. The defend.
ants, in their answer to that bill, denied the allegations of en-
croachment on the boundary, and asserted, that if any existed, they
had been in possession of the land for upwards of 20 years, and
that therefore they had a freehold in the property. They also ad-
mitted that they were in possession of certain maps and documents,
but denied the right of the plaintiff to inspect them, and upon
a motion for their production, the Vice. Chancellor of England
refused to grant the application. His Lordship considered that
the Learned Judge in the Court below had taken an erroneous
view of the case, and directed the order pronounced to be die.
charged, and the documents to be produced.

MILLEI V. CUAIG.

The further argument in this part-heard case occupied the Court
the remainder of the morning.

ROLL'S COURT, Nov. 8.

Several petitions were ordered to stand over, it being intimated
that the parties were desirous of entering into arrangements.

CARTMIZAL V. POWIP.

This was a demurrer on the part of a witness to answer certain
interrogatories which he considered would be a breach of confi.
dence towards his client.

Mr. KINDERSLEY stated the ease. It appeared that the :type!.
last, Mr. Bevin, was employed as solicitor to Miss POWil, who had
entered into a treaty with Mr. Cartmeal, respecting the purchase of
a life annuity, which eventually terminated in an offer, on the part
of Mr. Cartmeal, to allow her an annuity at a higher rate of interest
than she could get from Government, and which was fixed at 1
per cent, more. Mr. Cartmeal subsequently found out that the rate
of interest allowed by Government was lower than that upon which
the calculation was based, and the proceedings were suspendee,
and matters were brought into the Chancery Court, when the ap-
pellant was subpoenaed as a witness, and asked certain questions re.
specting what had passed between him and hii client, and between
her brother, Mr. Thomas Powis. The Learned Counsel cited the
cases of Steel v. Stewart, first volume of Tiverton, p. 401, Sic.
Mr. STEPHENS followed, on the same side.

Mr. Maurra, on the part of the respondent, contended that the
communication having been made through the medium of another
party, was divested of its confidential and professional character.
His LORDSHIP, in giving judgment, remarked that of late a con-
siderable extension had taken place respecting the privilege of corn.
munication between solicitor and client. In his opinion, this was
carried to a degree that might be injurious, though as yet no serious
cases had occurred. However, the authorities cited were explicit,
and therefore he felt bound to allow the demurrer.

VIOE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Nov. 8.
(Before the VICB.CAANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.)
BRYANT V. TWIGG.
The arguments in this cue occupied the Court the whole day.
The case came before the Court upon exceptions and further dircc.
lions.

(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT Baca.)
RE TARTE PHILLIPS' CHARITY.
The arguments on both sides in this case were concluded to.day,
and his Honour gave judgment The facts enumerated by his
Honour are shortly these. James Newman, the petitioner, was
appointed master of a school in Long Sutton, Lincolnshire, in 1834
or 1835, &het continued to hold the office till 1844, when the ti us.
teem gave him notice of removal and discontinuance of his salary on
and after Michaelmas of that year. In 1839 the schoolmaster had
appeared in Chancery against the same trustees, but the Vice-
Chancellor of England in April of that year found Mr. .Newman
entitled to hold his office and receive the rightful
emolument so long as he conducted himself well,
and directed that the costs should be paid by the trustees The
first intimation of fault found with him by the trustees was given to
Mr. Newman, in a letter of the 6th of June, 1844, at ten o'clock in
the forenoon, requesting his presence that day at the meeting.
Newman did not attend—it was not convenient. On the 26th
June another meeting was held, of which Newman had no notice
ti:l the 21st, a delay which his Honour reprobated, as the meet-
ing had been detrrmiaed on at that of the 6th inst. On the 26th
the schoolmaster had intimation from the meeting of dismissal, no
charge being laid against him other than general misconduct—a
vagueness severely animadverted on by the Court. His removal,
in the circumstances and in the manner in which the
trustees thought proper to direct it, was such as no court of
justice could justify. His Honour now went through the various
charges disclosed since the case came into Court—general micron.
duct, occasional attendance at Unitarian places of worship, inferring
belief in the tenets, the burning of books which turned out after-
. wards to have been some old lesson boards and frames, purloining
of coals, absence for some days in January and at Whitsuntide,
charging more than the retail profit on stationery used in the school,
which the rules of the foundation allowed the master to retail—
finding them all unsupported by the evidence brought into court,
some of them frivolous, and none of them warranting the
slightest suspicion against Mr. Newman. The only other
objection his Honour noticed was Mr. Newman's refus-
ing to examine the children in the presence of Mr.
Hamilton, and, on the ground of examinations made by Mr.
Bennett, the vicar, and Mr. Hamilton, the charge of neglect and
unfitness. His Honour said that the circumstances of the school-
master should be recollected; that he was, by this examination, to
be put upon his trial before his own pupils, and in presence of
persons who, to say the least, were inclined to probe into whatever
faults Mr. Newman might have had. As to the results of private
examinations by the vicar and Mr. Hamilton, his Honour
threw the vicar's report entirely out of consideration.
Mr. Hamilton's, he allowed, had somewhat more weight with him.
But, continued his Honour, be it recollected that all the village
knew the purpose for which the examination was to made. Some
of the parents might have a private grudge, and the scholars
whether they liked the master or no would be there, the greatest
dolts, the merest imbeciles would attend, and all goes on in the
absence of the master himself Mr. H. might have expected more
than he ought; it is a country school, the master a country school.
muter at a paltry sum of 901. Surely something must be allowed
for human error, for human infirmity. The very lads examined,
had been frequently,and for long periods absent on farm labour, they
were holding the plough—their talk was of cattle. The wisdom of
learned men is Fathered in leisure. His Honour found the
charges net established; that Mr. Newman holds the office
of schoolmaster; that he is entitled so to do by the order
of the Vice-Chancellor of England; that he be reinstated in
his °See ; that an account be made up of salary ■nd rent due
to Mr. Newman up to the present time; that the COMP taxed be
paid by the trustees appearing its this suit, and not out of the funds
of the charity.

Mr. Russell, Q.C., and Mr. G. L. Russell, were the counsel for
the petitioners ; and Mr. Swanston, Q.C., Mr. Cooper, Q.C., and
Mr. Bilton, for the respondents.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 8.

SHAW V. HOLLAND.

This was an action of assumpsit brought to recover the sum of
6. 1 1., for a breath of contract, for the sale of fifty shares in a rail-
way called the Bradford Extension Railway. The defendant
placed upon record two pleas of non.assumpait, and two pleas
framed upon the Joint.atock Company's Registration Act, and the
case was tried before Mr. Baron Rolfe at the last assizes for the
county of York, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff, on the
pleas of non-assuml•sit, but the verdict was returned for the de-
feadant upon the remaining special pleas.

Mr. Banes, Q C., now moved for a rule nisi to show cause
why the verdict should not be also entered for the plaintiff on the
special pleas. The special pleas were to the effect that the com-
pany formed for constructing the railway in question had not been
duly registered according to the provisions of the 7th and Bth of
Victoria, cap. 110, which was entitled, " An Act for the Regis-
tration, Incorporation, and Regulation of Joint-stock Companies,"
the 2itith section of which required that all new companies formed
after the Ist of November, 1844, should pass through the ordeal
of registration, and made it a fineable, or rather a penal offence,
to deal in, sell, or contract for, the sale et shares in a company
that was not so registered. Now he maintained that the Company for
making th• Bradford . Extension Railway was formed previously
to the Ist of November, 1844, and therefore, it did not come
within the meaning of the Registration Act. The Railway was
an extension of the Leeds cod Bradford line. up the Valley of
the ♦yre, in Yorkshire, and the capital was subscribed and the
shares allotted to the shareholders in that company. There was
at no time any new appointment of the directors, who were the
same as those of the Leeds and Bradford Company, nor were there
any new officers appointed. The business of the extension line was
carried on at the offices of the Leeds and Bradford Company, and
the new line was an extension of the Leeds and Bradford Rail.
way, and just such an extension as it the London and Brighton,
or Great Western Companies had determined to extend their
line some ten miles beyond the point of their present
termini, which they lawfully could do by raising the capital
amongst themselves, and afterwards obtaining the sanction of Par-
liament for it, without going to the expense of registering a new
company. There was a second point which he might as well put
their Lordships in possession of. On looking into the Act, their
Lordships would find that the 24th section included railways, but
the 28th section excluded them. The case had excited great in-
terest, and was a very important one to the public, and in conclu-
sion he might mention that it was the first time the Court had been
called upon to construe the terms, provisions, and language, of the
Joint-stock Companies' Registration Act.

Their LORDSMIPS granted the rule, but expressed an opinion
that it would have been much better if the matter had been sub-
mitted to them in the shape of a special case.
Mr. BIANKII thanked their Lordships for the suggestion, and
premised to consult with Mr. Cowling, who, he undeastood, had been
Instructed to move, by the other side, for a cross rule.

SUICIDE AT SHEERNEss.—Contdilerable excite-
ment prevailed here on Wednesday morning, on its being rumoured
that a strange gentleman had committed suicide at the Ship Tavern,
the previous night, b, hanging himself from the bedstead. He had
only a rived the previous day by the London steamer, his sole log-
-1 gage being a carpet bag. On the landlord calling him in the morning
he found the bed-room door locked, and receiving no answer to
several applications for admittance he gave the alarm ; .the door was
forced open and the wretched man was found suspended from the
bed-post. Medical aid was immediately procured, but the vital spark
had long fled. A coroner's inquest has been deferred till the appear-
ance of some of his friends, to whom the circumstance is to be an-
nouneod by advertisement in the London papers.
„„:,"' RICH DISCOVERY.—On Friday afternoon a poor Loy
of the name of Neville, who resides with his aunt (havingno p...rents,
in Lincoln-court, Drury-lane, was playing with some lads near the
mortar, in St. James's-park, and observed a small book, upon open-
ing which it was found to contain a number of papers, letters, and
notes to the following amount :—llree Bank of England for 2001., one '
for 1001. and two for 101. ; two cheques, one for 75/., and the other
for 9/. ; besides a number of promissory notes and bills of acceptance
upon continental houses, amounting in all to above 2,0:01. The book
isof foreign manufacture, and the letters, which are principally in
German, gave noev to the right owner.

Unpletigtal up to a late hour on Thursday eve,,lng) made on behalf of

the advice of his friends, consented to withdraw himself, and to leave
the field open to Colonel Reid. This announcement, n hich was not
made wail late on Kriday evening, by means of a hand-bill issued by
Mr. Walter, appeared to take the electors by surprise.
