CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.)

PICKFORD v. THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.-

JUDGMENT.
The Loup CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case,
which came before his Lordship upon an appeal motion from
the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor of England. The plain-
tiffs in the case are the Messrs. Pickford, the celebrated car-
riers, and the defendants the directors of the Grand Junction
Railway Company. The plaintiffs filed their bill, charging the
defendants with having made certain charges for the carrying
of goods which were illegal, and they prayed a declaration of
their rights, and also an Injunction to restrain the
defendants from making the charges complained of. Upon
the case coming on before the Vice-Chancellor, he refused
to grant the injunction asked for on the ground
of delay, the plaintiffs having allowed a considerable time to
elapse between the filing of the bill and the application for
the injunction. From that decision the plaintiffs appealed to
the Lord Chancellor. his Lordship, after going shortly into
the facts of the case, stated his opinion to be that the
plaintiffs had failed upon all the points urged by them in sup-
port of their application; and the appeal must, therefore, be
refused, with costs.

LN TIM MATTER OF STAIR.
This ease was ordered, upon the application of counsel, to
stand over to the next day of petitions.

DAVENPORT; V. BISHOP.
The further -arguments in this part-heard appeal were
then resumed, and occupied the Court the remainder of the
morning.

ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
His Lordship sat at ten o'clock, and was occupied during
the greater part of the day in hearing unopposed petitions.
These were chiefly praying that money lying in the Court
to the credit of certain causes might be transferred to the
petitioners.
His LounsmP, in the course of these petitions, expressed
his determination to enforce strictly the 122 d order of the
Court, by which any pleading, petition, motion, or affidavit,
that might appear to be of unnecessary length, should be re-
ferred to the taxing-master, who might be directed to in-
vestigate the same, and if it should appear to him that they
were of unnecessary length, that he should make such an
order as might appear to him just, as a set-off to the. demand
for the costs.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
NIXON V. THE TAFF VALE RAILWAY COMPANY.
The arguments in this part-heard cause were resumed to-
day. The question in the case relates to certain contracts
for the construction of part of the railway.
The case occupied the whole morning.
(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
LIEVESEY V. WILLCOCK.
Arguments were heard on both sides, and judgment given
in favour of the defendant. It appears that the plaintiff-,
Lievesey and Knowles, were on terms for a coal mine near
1 Wigan, when they met with defendant, who, in considera-
tion of Lievesey and Knowles giving up their interest
in the lease to him, contracted to pay each of them
30s, a week for their personal services as underlookers
'in the mine, and to give them or their executors
5 per cent. on the profits. Defendant, however, dismissed
both from his employment : Knowles for intoxication and
neglect, LiTesey for neglect only. They came into Court to
sue performance of contract. In consequence of the nature
of the evidence by which the charge against Lievesry was
supported, his Honour hesitated to pronounce against him ; but
as Knowles, In the opinion of the Court, had by his conduct
broken the agreement, and as Lievesev had assumed him as a
ao-petitioner, his Honour decided that the Court could net afford
relief to either. The bill was dismissed with 20/. costs,
without prejudice to the cause.
Counsel for plaintiffs, Messrs. Wigram, Q.C., and Blun-
dell; for defendant, Messrs. Russell, Q.C., and Milne.
WOODWARD V. MILLER.
Mr. Miller having purchased a property sold Iy auc-
tion at the instance of the executors, Woodward) declined
to own the purchase, on the ground of fictitious bidders
having been present to advance the amount of pur-
chase-money. -Evidence was put in by the plaintiffs,
admitting that Mr. Broadhurst was present on the
day of sale for that purpose, and gave several biddings
till the price was enhanced to 030/. Mr. Miller said he
bought under the belief that the bidders were bona/3de bid-
ders.

Mr. AVIGRAM, Q. 0, was proceeding with his argument
for the plaintiffs, maintaining that these fictitious biddings
have never prejudiced the sale in law, when our report left.
(Before Vice-Chancellor 1 Vton.A3t.)
TAMLYN V. REYNOLDS.
The plaintiff appeared to plead his own cause below bar.
The case arises out of the sale of devised estates, over which
plaintiff, as a devisee, declares he holds unsatisfied claims.
So far back as 1818, Mr. Tamlyn appeared before Sir John
Leach.
His HONOUR'deferled judgment.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

ELWELL V, TIM BIRMINGHAM CANAL COMPANY.
This was an action taken by the plaintiff against the
Birmingham Canal Company, for a false return to a writ of
mandamus, issued by this Court; damages were laid at
10,0004 It appeared from the statement of counsel, that
the objections of the Canal Company were, that notice of
the damage done to the plaintiff's mills had not been given
within one month, as required by the Act ; that the venue
should have been laid in the county of Stafford; and that
the untice lid not specify the extent of the damage doe; as
required by the fifty- second section of the Act.

_ _ -.."=----

' Plaintiff's Counsel contended that the notice -was sufficient,
and that it was not necessary to lay the venue in Stafford,
inasmuch as the action was upon a writ of mandamus. The
damage to the defendant's mill was alleged to have been
done by the Company decting an engine` to pump
up the water from one level to another, whereby his mill
was deprived of the water necessary for the working of it.
Counsel argued at great length that the plaintiff had made
good his right to the compensation awarded to him by the
arbitrators to whom it had been referred, even in accordance
with the provisions of the Public Act, and the Canal Com-
pany's Private Act, and that therefore he could not see why
the Company should resist the award.
The case occupied the entire day. Counsel for the de-
fendant having stated his case, and counsel for the plaintiff
having replied, with which he occupied the Court until near
three o'clock.--Judgment deferred.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
The proceedings in this Court, up to the time of our going
to press, were of the most uninteresting description.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
JOYCE V. GREENE.

11Ir. JA.Ttvis, Q. C. moved their Lordships in this case, which
had been prosecuted in the Liverpool Court of. Requests for a
rule of prohibition to set aside the proceedings in the case.
The defendant was an attorney, and having subpcened the
plaintiff on a trial in which he was professionally concerned,
the plaintiff summoned him for his expenses, which amounted
to a guinea. Now the Learned Counsel contended that the
defendant incurredno liability in subpmning the plaintiff, but
the party for whom he acted did.
• Mr. Baron. PARKE—That depends upon the conduct of
the attorney : prima facie the client is liable, and not the
attorney. _

---Air. ARvis apprehended that it did not.
Mr. Baron PARKE—Why if an attorney promises to see a
witness paid his expenses if he will attend a trial the attor-
ney renders himself liable.
Mr. JARVIS urged that a promise of this sort must
be specially stated in the summons, but nothing of the kind
appeared upon the face of the summons in this case.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—What state is the case in?
Mr. JARVIS said judgment had been recorded, and the
amount levied for. It was not so much for the amount they were
contending as for the principle involved in the case. The plain-
tiffproduced witnesses to swear that the defendant promised
to see him paid, and on the other hand witnesses were exa-
mined to prove that he did not. Ile contended that the
Commissioner of the Court of Requests had no jurisdiction in
a case like this.

The LORD CHIEF BARoN—Was that objection made before
the Commissioner?

Mr. JARVIS replied that it was not.
The Lonn CHIEF BARON—It is too late then to urge it
now. You have said enough to induce the Court to refuse
the application. It should have been made while the pro-
ceedings were pending in the Court of Requests.—Rule re-
fused.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Mathews, a powerful-looking man, was charged
with the following brutal conduct :
It appeared from the evidence that he was misconducting
himself in a very gross manner in St. Luke's, between nine
and ten o'clock on Sunday night. Police-constable 108 E
interfered, and seeing that he was somewhat tinder the in-
fluence of liquor, procured a little boy to conduct him to his
home. The prisoner had not advanced many paces in com-
pany of the lad when he turned round, and,without receiving
any provocation, declared the policeman was a meddling
vagabond, and applied a variety of the coarsest epithets
to him. The' constable, with a forbearance not often exer-
cised by his class, took no notice, but was walking along his
beat, when the prisoner suddenly seized him, threw him into
the kennel, and beat and kicked bins in so dreadful a manner
that the blood poured from his nose, mouth, and ears. The
poor fellow has since then been suffering from a violent pain
in the head and spine.
The prisoner, who had no 'excuse to plead, was.sentencad
to a fortnight's imprisonment in the Hsuse of Correction,.
without the power of releasing himself by the payment pf a
fine.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 10,000
bags, of which speculators took 6,000. Pricesdid not advance,
but were well supported.
Each day's post brings with it a vast body of evidence of
the rising state of the market for potatoes and grain, and of
the full expectation that as the winter advances the poorer
classes must suffer from famine by reason of a still further
enhancement. The question is demanded in all quarters—
" What are the Ministers about ?'l. All classes--the
chant, the banker, the tradesmen, and the masses, require
earnestly for a present reply. As for any commission being
appointed now 'to inquire into the subject referred
to above, as Was stated yesterday, is held
to be entirely out of the question. Until there is something
definite made public upon this topic, the funds will be inju-
riously influenced, and trade and commercial operations be
all but suspended.
The accounts received by the merchants connected with
the West Indies by the steamer just arrived, are considered
of a most satisfactory character. The immense arrival of
specie from Mexico (2,751,193 dollars) is about the largest
remittance brought by the royal mail steamers. The Mexican
dividend fund will be increased considerably by the present
arrival.
The Funds have today exhibited symptoms of improve-
ment again, and there is a further slight advance in prices.

New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 97 to 97%.
The Foreign market is buoyant. Spanish Bonds have
touched 2834 to 29% for the Five per Cents., and 373/ to 38

Account has been quoted 57. Mexican Bonds have been
at 31% to 32; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 60
to 60%.
Shares are held more firmly. Staines and Richmond are
very scarce in the market, owing to the South Western
having guaranteed 4 per cent. on its capital, and an equal
division of the profits above that sum.
