Wl3O HAS TO PAY

The Court of Common Pleas, in
inst attorneys for work done, last week
decided that attorneys were only agents for Railway Com-
panies, well known to he such, and not to engage, or be
liable, as principals; therefore, the employed (a surveyor
in one case, a local lawyer in the other) must ordinarily

stances presented anything special !
From official returns it appears that the amount of
traffic for the last week, on upwards of 3,227 miles of
railway, was £155,227, thus accounted for :—X73,309 for

the conveyance of passengers only, £46,888 for the car-
riage of goods, and a remainder of £35,030 for passengers
and goods together, not respectively apportioned ' • being
an increase of £21,107 over the corresponding week of last
year, when the mileage was about 2,505.

MALIGNANT TRICK.-A malicious outrage has been
perpetrated on a railway in South Wales. The lock of a
switch was broken off at night, and the points were
wedged back, so that any train coming up would dash into

a siding. At nine o'clock a long goods train, on its way
to Merthyr, arrived at a high speed ; it rushed into the

IRELAND

A verdict of wilful murder has been found against Robin
Sullivan, at Bandon, for roasting his child alive, as re-
ported in our last.

On Wednesday as Mr. Waldron, of Dublin, was out
shooting, he became immersed in a bog-hole, and his gun
going off he was shot dead.

Tgere are upwards a-;lnindred and fifty prisoners in
Clontnel gaol, and the approaching assizes there promise
to be the heaviest on record, as there are already nineteen
murder cases.

The storm last week was severely felt at Cork. Seve-
ral houses and stores were much injured, and a young
woman was killed 'by the falling of a stack of chimneys.
Some trees were broken down.

At Galway, the nephews of a deceased farmer and his
adopted son quarrelled about the deceased's property,
and during the affray a young man, assisting the adopted,
received a violent blow from a spade, and he soon died.
Since the murder of Mr. Lucas, the tenants whotn he
dispossessed have entered on the lands, and refuse either
to surrender or pay any rent; and Mr. Lucas, who has
been threatened, is afraid to proceed against them.
The brother of the murdered Rev. Mr. Lloyd dares not
go out even to church, unless attended by four policemen.
This is the case with several of the clergy in the district,

NOVEL EXPORT.—Mr. John Cranitch, of Cork, last

berries, and collected in that county. The purpose for

A correspondent of the. Times. in describing the funeral
of the late Rev. Mr. Lloyd, in Ireland, says, " I saw the

countenance, fully armed with double-barrelled rifles, &c.,
the son walking or riding by the side of his father, the
faithful servant armed, close by the side of the agent, the
police constables in every direction, looking out for another
murderer. Such was the funeral procession of the good
Mr. Llo,} d as it approached Elphin churchyard."
MORE MURDERS THREATENED.--A gentleman from
the vicinity of Strokestown, the scene of the late Major
Mahon's murder, w, -he had

nere neen endeavouring to col-
lect rents on a property of which he is the agent, states
that he saw a list posted on the road, containing the names
of several persons who are to be murdered. The first
name was that of a Roman Catholic gentleman, who holds
a considerable property in the county of Roscommon. It
was also very generally reported that a Roman Catholic
magistrate, of the county of Kildare, was murdered adja-
cent to his residence. It is asserted that two resident
noblemen, whose lives have been threatened, have deter-
