. ..SUGDEN .v. BLA CK BUR,NE.
. A considerable sensation was excited in the Hall Of
the Courts on SatUrday, by the strong and uncourteous
terms in which the Chancellor commented upon a de-
sion prenouneed by the Master of the Rolls in an ap-
peal from hiS Honour's judgment, brought before his
Lordship. The case was briefly this :—The plaintiff
'(Walsh) filed a possessory bill, praying for an injunc-
tion against the defendant (M`Kenna) and others, to
restrain them from plying certain ferries on the River
Liffey. The Ma.ster of the Rolls has- granted the ap-
plication for the injunction, with costs.
In the progress of the discussion the Chancellor is
reported to have used the following strong expressions :
LORD CHANCELLOR—" You put in your bill a title
upon which you never could sustain an injunction;
nor can I collect anything from your bill which would
authorise the Court to interfere in the way you re-
quire. It is the most naked bill I have seen ; I don't
know that I ever saw such a pleading. You cannot
(said his Lordship, addressing the counsel for the plain-
tiff) ask me to maintain your case and support this in-
junction in any thing you did not bring forward your-
self. Indeed, the case is presented to the Court in a
most extraordinary manner. I must repeat that I
cannot see how this injunction can be supported. If
I were to allow this order to stand, the defendant
would be without remedy."—Dublin Evening Mail.

AN OTHER FIGHT IN OUR FIELDS
At the petty sessions, on Monday last (before the
Rev. J. S. Birley, and R. Heywood, Esq.), Samuel
Cowburn, a middle-aged man, from Westhougton,
was brought up, charged with poaching on a farm
belonging. to William Hulton, Esq. Mr. Holden
stated the case for the prosecution, and said that there
were several other persons charged in the warrant,
but they had absconded ; and the prisoner was the
only one that the officers had been able to appre-
hend. James Scholfield, gamekeeper to Mr. Hul-
ton, said, on the night of. Friday, the 23d of Sep-
tember, I, James Partington, and three others, were
in a field occupied at Westhoughton, for the purpose
of protecting the game. The four persons with me
concealed themselves in a . slack, or hollow, about
twelve o'clock at night; and I went down the field.
The men had not been concealed more than ten
minutes when I observed seven men approaching,
armed with long and heavy bludgeons. The men
proceeded towards the gate, where I had seen
the marks of nets having been set, and hares
taken, when *one of my assistants rose from the
hollow, to look round. One of the poachers then
called to the others, " Stop ; he's going for more
men." The prisoner Cowburn was one of the seven.
My assistants all got up ; and upon that the poachers
went in the direction of the railroad; but I followed,
and brought one of them back by the collar. On my
return, the poachers had commenced attacking our men
with ieir bludgeons, and I heard them calling out
" Strike, lay on !" Three of our party lay upon the
ground, with their hads cut, and completely stunned.
The poachers then ran off. On the following morn-
ing, I found a net in a hedge in the direction in which
the poachers made their escape. The prisoner was
asked if he had any questions to put to the witness;
upon which he replied, " No; I know nothing at
all about it." Two of the bludgeons were pro
ducd, and were apparently young trees, re-
sembling huge walking sticks, having the roots
rounded with a knife. The witness, in answer to a
question from the Bench, said he had known both
the prisoner and his dog for some time past.--The
prisoner was fully committed for trial. He is a
widower, with six children, by trade a weiWr, and
has resided at Daisy Hillock, in Westhoughton, for
a number of years.
