FIRE AT THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.--OR
Saturday night, about a qUarter before ten o'clock, as
one of the constables of the Eastern Counties Rail-
,way, was going his rounds, his attention was directed
to some premises, situate near the Shoreditch station,
bepriging to Mr. Curtis, the contractor of the works,
bytobserving a dense mass of smoke issuing from the
same, and upon gaining that part of the premises he
found that they wore on fire. The premises were
used as stabling,
and owing to the inflammable nature
of their contents, the fire spread with such amazing
rapidity, that in less than ten minutes after the
outbreak the place was one body of fire. A mes-
senger having been dispatched in the interim to the
various engine stations with intelligence of the fire, in
art incredibly short period the West of England and
several brigade engines were on the spot, and, not-
withstanding that they arrived so shortly after the dis-
covery of the fire, their services were of very little
use, as the place was completely levelled to the ground
in leis than twenty minutes after the alarm was
raisedt; and we regret to state that, besides the total
destruction of the premises, a valuable horse also
perished in the flames. The fire was caused through
some toys discharging fireworks, which fell into the
stables and set fire to the; hay,
&c., which shortly
after communicated to the building.
A ',genteel English stranger," says an Irish pro-
vincial, journalist, visited and left Cork last week, after
vainly attempting forgeries to the amount of 2,6001.
upon the Provincial Bank, and Bank of Ireland, in
that city. He assumed the designation of " Henry
.Belville, ' and represented himself as
,a man of capital
in steam-mil
about to invest largely operations.

LA W INTELLIGENCE.

CHANCERY',—(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor did not sit to-day till eleven
o'clock.

CALVERT V. GODPREY.-JUDGMENT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in
this case, the only question in which was, whether a
lady of the name of Watson, the purchaser ®f certain
property was to be considered as having accepted the
title in consequence of taking possession. The case
came before his Lordship upon appeal from the deci-
sion of the Master of the Rolls, deciding that Miss
Watson had not accepted the title and was entitled to
a reference with respect to it. His Lordship was of
opinion, that the judgment below was correct, and it
must therefore be affirmed.

Motion refused, but without costs.
CASWELL V. BELL.

The arguments in this part-heard case were re-
sumed to-day. The case came before the Court upon
motion to vary an injunction restraining the de-
fendants, who are the Commissioners of the Bourne
Fen, near Spalding, from interfering with or taking
land belonging to the Black Sluice Commissioners.
The arguments had not concluded when our Even-
ing edition went to press.

stood that he will sit as usual at ten o'clock to-morrow.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY)
The Court was engaged the whole morning in hear-
ing motions for new trials. No case of any import-
ance had come on up to the time we went to press.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

CLARKE V. STEWART.

This was an action to recover damages for injury
done to the plaintiff's cabriolet, by an omnibus belong-
ing to the defendant being driven against the carriage,
and overtt#ning it. It appeared, that in the concus-
sion the defendant's servant was thrown out of the
cab, and was so severely injured that he died in a day
or two after. The cause was tried at Guildhall, and
the Jury, not being able to reconcile the conflicting
evidence on both sides, found for the defendant.
Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS subsequently obtained a
rule to show cause—wiry—there sliould not _ho np_uz
trial, on the ground that the statements of the de-
fendant's witnesses were inconsistent with each other,
and that the verdict was in so far not warranted
by the evidence.
Mr. Sergeant CRANNELL now showed cause against
the rule, and stated his arguments in support.
Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS replied in defence of the rule.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that, under the cir-
cumstances, it appeared to the Court that justice re-
quired that the case should go to trial again, and the
rule must be made absolute.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY.
THE REV. H. MITCHELL V. THE REV. E. WILLIAMS.

This was an action for malicious prosecution, tried
before Mr. Justice Wightman, at the last assizes at
Bristol, when a verdict was returned for the plaintiff,
damages 4001. _ _

Mr. CROWDER now moved for a rule to show
cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and
a new trial granted, on the ground that there had
been no evidence to criminate the defendant, and of
an excess of damages.
The COURT granted the rule.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY).

IN ItE AUGUSTUS NEWTON.

Mr. CookE moved in this matter that the schedulp
of the insolvent be transmitted to Cheltenham, through
Mr. King, an attorney of the 'Court, to substantiate
certain charges of forgery, and fraudulently becom-
ing possessed of a will which. the insolvent brought
against Lady Ricketts, widow of the late Admiral Sir
J. Ricketts, in the police court of that place.
. The Couvr granted the application, first ordering
the party to lodge a copy of the schedule with the
officer.
