LAW INTELLIGENCE.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

GORDON, M.P. V. THE CHELTENHAM AND GREAT

WESTER RAILWAY COMPANY.

This case came before the Court upon appeal from
thel decision of the Master of the Rolls, overruling a
demurrer put in by the defendants, the proprietors of
the Cheltenham and Great Western Railvtay Com-
pany to the bill filed by the plaintiff. It appeared
that the plaintiff had certain property in the neigh-
bourhood of the railway, near Cirencester, and near
that railway, on their own land, were defendants erect-
ing certain engine-houses, workshops, and other places
which the plaintiff contended were in direct opposition
to the act of Parliament constituting the railway.
Under these circumstances the plaintiff filed 4is bill,
and obtained an injunction restraining the defendants
from proceeding with these works. To that bill the
defendants demurred, and upon that demurrer coming
on for argument before the Master of the Rolls, his
Lordship overruled the demurrer, and gave the de-
fendants six months to appeal to this Court. From
that decision the present appeal was brought.
The Solicitor-General, Mr. Turner, an i Mr. Wood,
appeared for the appellants; and Mr. St,tton Sharpe
and Mr. Loftus Wigram were heard in support of the
judgment below.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, in the course of the argu-
ments stated it to be his clear opinion that the ques-
tion ought to be decided at law.—lt was ultimately
arranged that the case should stand over to Saturday
week, in order to afford an opportunity to the parties
to come to some arrangement, or agree upon a case
for the opinion of a court of law.

The COURT then proceeded with the further argu-
ments in this part-heard tithe cause.

OMEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
THE QUEEN V. SAMPSON.

The defendant in this case, Henry Sampson, had
been an officer in the Excise, and had been convicted
of obtaining money under false pretences, under the
circumstances hereinafter mentioned. He was this
morning brought up from Newgate to receive judg-
ment. Several affidavits were put in and read in miti-
gation of punishment.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Court in
aggravation.
The Judges having consulted together,
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS gave the judgment of the
Court as follows :—Henry Sampson, you are brought
here to receive the judgment of the Court, having
been convicted upon an indictment which sub-
stantially charges you, that you were an officer in
the employment of the Excise, stationed at the
town of Jarrow, in the county of Durham,
in the Newcastle and North Shields district; that a
certain James Bray having been authorised by the
Justices to keep a common inn, and being desirous
to obtain a license for that purpose, the expense of
obtaining which would properly amount but to 71.
12s. 24d., that being the sum that he would be rightly
called on to pay; you presented him an account for
131. 2s. 51(1., as Nang the amount which he ought to
pay for taking up the license ; that appears on the face
of the indictment, and the evidence sustains that
charge without a shadow of doubt. The Court has
observed the statement you have made, that you have
been in prison since the month of August last, and
the Court has also observed a statement in your affi-
davit, which it always observes with great pain, that
you have a distressed family, their distress having been
brought on and aggravated by your conduct. The
Court sees constantly with regret that offences of this
sort fall heavily upon those who, to a certain extent,
ought to have been considered by those on whom they
are depeadent as pledges for their good conduct.
Your offence is one of considerable magnitude. It
appears that you were not merely intrusted with the
collection of the revenue, but that, according to your
own account, you were entitled to have such trust re-
posed in you—a trust which has been employed by
you as a means for readily, committing the offence of
which you have been convicted. You have broken
your trust, and forfeited the confidence which has
been reposed in you. This is matter of great aggravation.
Taking all these circumstances into consideration,
and bearing in mind the imprisonment you have al-
ready suffered, the Court feels it would not be doing
1 its duty if it did not visit your offence with great se-
verity. The sentence of the Court upon you is that
you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the
Ifourse of Correction at Ipswich for the space of 12
calendar months, and that in the meantime you be
committed to the custody of the Marshal.
The prisoner was removed in custody.
