THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY SO.  This was an action to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by the plaintiff by a collision on the defendants line, and also for destruction of certain cattle of the plaintiff.  The Attorney-General of the County Palatine (Mr E. Tames, Q.C.), and Mr C. Russell were for the plaintiff; Mr Brett, Q.C., and Mr Butt for the defendants. The defendants paid into, court £l7B 108 for the loss of the cattle. The plaintiff le a cattle drover in Ireland, and was proceeding, on Deo. 18, 1863, with 17 head of cattle to Norwich. When at Corby, near Grantham, on the defendants' line, a stoppage occurred, and whilst the train was standing still another train from the north ran into it. Plaintiff was then asleep in the guard's van. The van was shattered and the plaintiff thrown upon h:s face among the rubbish and rendered insensible. When he came to himself he found him• self sitting under a hedge by the roadside. He was assisted to an hotel, and attended by the company's surgeons. He was found to have been considerably shaken, and had cuts on the leg and eyebrow. He also complained of pain in the head, back, and side. After eight days he was allowed tore= turn to Ireland, where he has been attended by a surgeon up to the present time. He still complained of great pain and dizziness in the head, and of seeing, as he expressed it, " 100 or 200 things at once." He subsequently consulted physicians in Dublin, and paid £4l for medical attendance. The plaintiff was called, and proved that the cattle which he had with him, and which were se injured that they were killed and sold by the company, cost him, including expenses, £192 10s, and that he would have sold them for £202 10s. also that he usually came to England with cattle about 26 times a year. His profits he laid at £3OO a year.  The cross-examination was directed to show that he lived in a very humble manner, and was not seriously hurt by the collision. _  It was proved by the medical man called that the dizzi• ness plaintiff complained of might continue for a long time, but that there was no organic disease. At the conclusion of the examination the case was left to the jury without speeches or summing up, and the jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff for £2Ol 108,)vith interest for a year, for the cattle, and .Cl5O for the personal injury.  __— TILE CHARGE OF MURDER BY POISON IN MANCHESTER,-0a Saturday morning, at the City Police Court, Ann Corigan, who had been remanded from the previous Saturday, charged on suspicion with the wilful murder of Ann Conway, was again brought before Mr Fowler and Mr Ross. It will be remembered that last week, on a preliminary analysis of the sediment in two of the deceased's medicine bottle, Mr Fletcher thought he had discovered traces of arsenic; but he expressly guarded himself against that conclusion being accepted as decisive. The evidence of Mr Fletcher find Professor Roscoe, on Saturday morning, giving the result of a thorough analysis, was conclusive as to their being io trace of arsenic or other mineral poison in the contents of the bottles. The erroneous result of the preliminary analysis was satisfactorily explained, and the prisoner was discharged,--Nartaeater .Eniner.
