PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES

ON RAIL WAY BILLS.

SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. Buxuuc sustained a number of objections to the plans
of the promoters of the Bill, on the ground of want of descrip-
tion in the plan of various buildings situated in the parishes
of Sedgeley, Dudley, IlalesoWen, West Bromwich, Harboune,
Handsworth, and Ilirmingham. He also sustained objections
with respect to the omission on the plans and the books of
references of certain pieces of land within the line of deviation
in the parishes of Holy Cross and St. Giles, Salop, Wel-
lington, Shiffnal, and Tong. In all these instances the Com-
mittee decided that the standing orders had not been com-
plied with.
The objections were not got through at four o'clock, and
the Committee adjourned to twelve o'clock this day.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 25.
(At Guildhall, before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury.)
TIIE QUEEN V. DOUGLAS.
This case, after lasting the whole of Monday and to-day,
was brought to a conclusion this evening.
It was an information against the defendant for receiving
presents from the Raja of Tanjore, at whose Court he was re-
sident, and from the neighbouring Princes of Poodoocottah,
which by Act of Parliament was a misdemeanour.
According to the Solicitor-General's statement, the de-
fendant had received a monthly allowance of two thousand
rupees from the Raja besides other large sums, under the
head of " ta'ole-money," and under various pretexts.
Rumours of these proceedings having reached the Indian
Government, Mr. Bayley and Mr. Kindersley (since dead)
,s:re sent to investigate the matter, and the following is one
of the Litters from the defendant to Mr. Kindersley
My Kindersley,--I have some hopes that you may
be spared a dutf"
which I am sure will be most disagreeable
to you, from a otter
:which I have addressed to Government,
and tif which I enclose i.:11 a copy. Pray show it to the
official ; if you think proper, to Ilavie):, with my regards, if
he pleases to accept them, certainly syrtl.l my respects. He
has acted fairly and honourably to
but me,
1,-..?ording e
to
coulth d
e
impressions which he has received ; wish h
have read my heart, or which would have answered the
same purpose, the heart of the Raja, the ' bitterly de-
ceived !' No ; it is I that have been bitterly deceived. I
have not the least intention of denying the fact of having
lent myself to a system of sonic forty years' duration.
The cruelty of Sir Fudom's measure, my deep and hopeless
state of embarrassment, the refusal of the Court to grant the
any redress, because I was employed out of the regular
line of my profession,' though they acknowledged the injus-
tice I had met with from the Governor of Madras, the inat-
tendon of Lord Elphinstone to their orders for my appoint-
ment to Travancore, by way of compensation, the reduction
of my salary at Tanjore, when I did return there, of upwards
of 500/. per annum, the entire failure of my health, and with
it all hopes of release from the debts I had incurred for
others. Oh I could add to the list, but though I did so for
ever, it would' be no excuse. The best, the only palliative
part of the proceeding is, that I did not deceive the Raja.
