Moor-street, Birmingham, where, after
drinking some time, Taylor began to vaunt about his
strength, and challenged for a wager any one to equal
him. The deceased put down a sovereign to meet the

challenge, but he had occasiou shortly after to go out of
the house, and, on his return, he missed th

wereig

when he charged Taylor with having stolen it; though,
from the evidence which transpired at the inquest, it is

again before going out of the house, and forgot-the cir-
cumstance on his return. Smarting under the imputation
of theft, Taylor took the opportunity in the street of
giving the deceased a heavy blow from behind, and the
consequence was that Hampson fell with great force on
the pavement, and fractured his sku!l. At the inquest a

verdict of manslaughter was returned against Samuel
Taylor.

THE CORPORATION OF LIVERPOOL V. THE CHORLEY

13etDre

Appeal.)

—lt appeared that an application for an injur

tiOn had been !Wade in this case to one of the Vice-Chan-
cellors, for the purpose of restraining the defendants from
doing certain acts and carrying on certain works for the
purpose of their undertaking in a manner which the plain-
tiffs alleged to be injurious to the Liverpool waterworks.
The Vice-Chancellor had granted the injunction as to a
portion of the relief asked, and had refused it as to the
rest. This was an appeal from that part of the order of
the court below which refused an injunction. Mr. Bethell,
in support of the appeal, said that the plaintiffs had come
prepared with an affidavit in support of their intended ap-
plication; but before such affidavit could be tendered in
evidence before the court, it must, in consequence of the
regulations introduced by the recent orders in Chancery,
be copied upon a paper stamped by the Commissioners of
Inland Revenue. This paper could not be issued from
the Stamp-office until late in the afternoon, and he was,
therefore, under the necessity of asking that the hearing
of the appeal might be postponed till a properly stamped
application could be produced. Mr. Osmond, for the de-
fendants, said that, from the character of the affidavit
proposed to be read by the plaintiffs, some care and time
would be necessary on the part of the defendants to pre-
pare their answer to it. It was then arranged that the
case should stand over indefinitely, with liberty to either
party to apply.
KIRKDALE SESSIONS.—The Michaelmas sessions
opened at the Court-house, Kirkdale, on Tuesday, the
first day being devoted to the despatch, as usual, of;
county business. The Ven, Archdeacon Brooks presided,
and there was a numerous attendance:of magistrates. The ,
Archdeacon said, that he had signed a paper, which the
Government would require half- yearly, of the expense of
convicted prisoners sentenced at the quarter sessions. The
Government paid them for the maintenance of these pri-
soners, as far as fuel, bedding, and food were concerned.
The expense for the last half-year amounted to £535 4s,
10d., or 2s. 9d. per week per head. The Government
required that the bills of costs should now be strictly ex-
amined ; and Mr. Horn had been appointed to assist the
Clerk of the Peace in doing so. When this subject had
been disposed of, the Archdeacon said that they had had
communication with the managers of the Philanthropic
Prison, at Red-hill, Surrey, into which juvenile offenders
were taken from different prisons, and were taught agri-
cultural labour, or some trade, for the period of twelve
months. Four boys had been selected from the Kirkdale
Gaol, but there was a difficulty in the bench not being
legally able to pay the expenses of their removal there.—
After some discussion, the magistrates privately entered
into a subscription to send the four boys to Red-hill Farm,
the recorder promising to mention the subject to Mr.
Waddington at the Home-office. The criminal business
of the sessions commenced on Wednesday morning, before
the Venerable Archdeacon Brooks (chairman) and a full
bench of magistrates. The calendar which was light,
contained the names of 67 prisoners, 57 being charged with
felony, and the remainder with assault, and misde-
meanours,
