THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. — No counsel appeared on either side, and the case was accordingly Struck out. MARTIN V. THE GREAT INDIAN PENINSULAR RAILWAY COMPANY. The plaintiff in this action was an officer in the travelling with his regiment upon the defendants' line army, of railway from Budnairah to Bombay, and in the course of the journey the baggage, including plaintiff's personal luggage, was burnt. Plaintiff sued the company for damages, the first count of the declaration charging them, as common carriers, for not safely carrying the plaintiff's luggage; and the second count alleging that they had been guilty of gross negligence. The defendants pleaded several pleas, raising the following defences: first, that plaintiff and his luggage were carried under a contract with the Government, by which defendants were freed from all liability with respect to the luggage: secondly, that the loss was caused by the mutinous conduct of the troops under the command of the plaintiff and other officers; thirdly, that the contract under which the plaintiff and his luggage were carried was a contract with the Government only, and not with the plaintiff, and that their liability, if at all, was to the Government and not to the plaintiff. The plaintiff's replication set out the alleged contract in totidem verbis, by which it appeared that, in the case of troops travelling by rail, the baggage was to remain in charge of a guard of soldiers, the company accepting no responsibility." There were cross-demurrers to the pleas, and also to the replication, which now came on to be argued by Keane, Q.C. (with Lumley Smith) for the plaintiff, in support of the demurrer to the plens, and by M. White, contra, for the defendants, in support of the demurrers to the replications.-The COURT, after argument, were of opinion that the contract set out in the replication did not free the defendants from responsibility in respect of loss occurring from their own negligence, but that the plea setting up the mutinous acts of the troops was substantially an informal traverse of their own negligence. On the whole the Court gave Judgment for the plaintiff on the demurrers to the replica tions and to the 11th plea, and judment for the defendants on the demurrers to the 6th, 9th, and 10th pleas.

RE THE TITHE COMMUTATION ACT AND THE REV. HAILSHAM-Manisty, QC. (with him H. Tindal Atkinson) moved, on behalf of the owners of certain lands in Lazenby, Cumberland, to set aside a writ of hab. fac. pos, issued under the Act in default of a sufficient distress for tithes. The Act enables the titheowner, in default of sufficient distress being found on the land to satisfy his tithe rentcharge, to obtain possession of the land itself. In this case a crop of growing grass was upon the land, which the titheowner had not distrained, and alleged to be insufficient to satisfy the amount due. The landowners disputed its insufficiency, and contended that the titheowner was bound to distrain, and realise the value of the distress, and so ascertain that it was, in fact, insufficient, before he could obtain possession of the land itself under the Act. It was secondly contended, on the part of the landowners that, no demand of the exact amount due having been made, the titheowner had no right to have the writ issued; and, thirdly, that the writ could not legally be issued until the titheowner had distrained upon all other lands in the occupation of the same tenant within the parish for the amount due.-The COURT granted a rule on all points. Rule nisi. THE UNION BANK OF MANCHESTER (Limited) r. WILLIAM ABRAHAMS.- Baylis applied to set aside the judgment signed in this action against the defendant, and also to set aside the service of the writ and order upon which it was made, or that the defendant should be allowed to come in and defend the action. The defendant, it appeared, was a person of weak mind, deaf and dumb, and quite incapable of understanding business matters, and the action was upon two promissory notes given to secure the banking account of his brother John, who had died in difficulties, and with whom he had lived previously to his death. Upon the death of his brother the defendant had gons to live with another brother, named Robert. The process server had endeavoured to serve the writ at the house where defendant had lived with his deceased brother, but not being able to effect personal service, an order at Chambers had been obtained for service at defendant's residence within three days. This, too, was served at the same place, and the proceedings had never come to the knowledge of defendant or his attorney, or his brother.-The COURT granted a rule. Rule nisi. RE ROBINSON-Field, Q.C. (with him Shepherd), moved to set aside an order of Martin, B., referring an attorney's bill for taxation on the ground that more than twelve months had expired since its delivery, and that no special circumstances existed enabling the judges to refer it. Some of the items contained in the bill were, in the opinion of the COURT, prima facie, and, in the absence of special circumstances, excessive, and that that fact was sufficient to give the judge jurisdiction to order taxation, even after the twelve months. They therefore refused the rule. Rule refused. SALAMAN. Howe.-This was an action tried before Martin, B. when the verdict was for the plaintiff.-M. Chambers, Q.

This was an action to recover damages from the defendant under the following circumstances: The defendant had granted a lease to plaintiff of a piece of ground for seventeen years, and upon the plaintiff's taking possession of it, and building a conservatory thereon, one Cook had brought an action of trespass against him, alleging that the ground in question was in his (Cook's) occupation under a prior demise to him from the defendant, in which action the verdict was found for Cook, with 40s, damages. Plaintiff having paid the costs of that action, now sued the present defendant, and at the trial, before Kelly, C. B. and a special jury, at the sittings in London, after Trinity Term last, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 2447. 118 Gd., calculated as follows, viz., Cook's costs in the action against plaintiff, 571. 11s. 6d. ; plaintiff's own costs therein (to be taxed), 70%; the costs of erecting and pulling down the conservatory, 15; and the value of the ground at 4. a year for seventeen years with the profit that plaintiff might have made of it in his trade as a florist, 1027. making in all, 2447. 11s. 6d. A rule nisi having been obtained in this term, on the part of the defendant, to reduce those damages to 1s. by striking off all the above sums, or to such other sum as the court might think fit, on the ground that such sums were not recoverable-Kenealy and Pearce Q. C. and Philbrick for the defendant, supported it, confor the plaintiff, now showed cause against, and Jones, tending that the damages were too remote, and drawing a distinction between the defendant's liability under a covenant for quiet enjoyment, and a covenant of indemnity as it should have been, to render him liable to defendant for the action of trespass by Cook.-The COURT, however, (Kelly, C. B., Brainwell, Channell, and Pigott, BB.) were of opinion that the jury had rightly found a verdict for the various heads of damage, and discharged the defendant's rule accordingly. Rule discharged.

White (with whom was Brett, Q. C.), for the plaintiff, now showed cause, citing The Great Northern Railway v. Rimmell, in the Ex. Ch., 18 C. B 575, and Metcalfe v.

THE WASHOE CONSOLIDATED GOLD AND SILVER MINING COMPANY (LIMITED).—This was an action by the plaintiff against the defendants for a breach of contract to allot to the plaintiff certain shares, and also to recover money lent, in which, at the trial at Guildhall, at the sittings after last Hilary Term, before Kelly, C. B., a verdict was found for the plaintiff for the amount court of Ex., upon a special case. The plaintiff had lent claimed by the declaration, subject to the opinion of the tion, dated 15th June 1864: "In consideration of A. or B. 5007. to the company, on the terms of the following resolumaking an advance of money for two months, to enable the company to continue their operations at the mine, it is agreed that the same shall at any time after the expiration of the said two months, on the application of the said A. or B., be repaid out of any funds of the company in hand, with interest at 61. per cent., with option to the said A. or B. either to receive the amount in money or to accept shares fully or partly paid up, or a deposit receipt of 1. per share on 500 shares, while the said advance or any part of it remains unpaid, at his, A. or B.'s discretion" Plaintiff advanced 500l. to defendants on the terms of this resolution, and now claimed to exercise his option in the mode of repayment, and sued the company as above mentioned, the question turning on the construction of the above-mentioned resolution; the defendants had pleaded payment -Hannen, for the plaintiff, contended that while plaintiff remained unpaid. he was plied for payment, defendants could not pay him off, and entitled to the exercise of the option, and that till he apthat a cheque which defendants had sent to him, but which he had at once refused and returned was neither payment nor equivalent to it. Had defendants pleaded an offer to pay, and a refusal by plaintiff to accept it, it might contra, for defendants, declined to accede to a suggestion have been a different matter.-Keane, Q. C. (with T. Salter) of the court to amend his plea, and elected to abide their decision on the case as the pleadings stood at present.-The COURT were of opinion that the plea was no answer to plaintiff's clain, and that while the plaintiff's debt remained unpaid he had the right of option, and therefore was entitled to judgment for 15001, being the amount of the 500 shares, with 27 premium on each of them, their market value on the 17th Nov.

A. 1861, was or was not a protection to the debtor from arrest, on a ca, sa, issned on a judgment obtained, and on a debt accrued due after the date of the said deed and certificate respectively, and whether or not the sheriff, on production of such certiflcate, was or was not bound at once to discharge the debtor from custody, and whether the sheriff was liable, in an action at the suit of the plaintiff, the creditor, for discharging the debtor on production of the certificate without further inquiry -H. James, for the plaintiff, contended that the sheriff acted at his own peril, and if wrong, as he was, he was liable.-Raymond, coutra, for the defendant, contended that the sheriff was bound, and had no option but to act on the certificate, and discharge the debtor at once: (Grace r. Bishop, 11 Ex. 424; Phillips v. Poland, 13 L. T. Rep. N. S. 712, C. P.; Lloyd v. Harrison, 14 L. T. Rep. N. S. 799, Q. B., and Wallinger v. Gurney, 5 L. T. Rep. N.

To stand over accordingly. LEDGER v. THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY COMPANY.-Honyman, Q.C. and Watkin Williams now supported their rule.-This was an action against the defendants for the loss of certain jewellery contained in luggage which had been intrusted to their charge. The defendants had pleaded the Carriers Act, and the plaintiffs had replied that the loss was occasioned by the felony of the defendants' servants. The jury found in favour of the plaintiffs, and the question now was whether there was any evidence to be left to them of the replication.-The COURT thought that the evidence was as consistent with the felony having been committed by some other person, as with its having been committed by the company's servants, and therefore that there was no evidence which should have been left to the jury, and that a nonsuit ought to have been directed. They therefore made the rule absolute. Rule absolute. GUYON . THE FRONTINO AND BOLIVIA SOUTH AMERICAN GOLD MINING COMPANY (LIMITED) -T. Jones, Q. C. showed cause; Horace Lloyd and Rosher supported the rule.-This was an action by an engineer for salary, and the defendants pleaded a set-off in respect of calls due upon shares held by the plaintiff. There was also a cross-action for calls. The question was whether the plaintiff's liability to pay calls had ever accrued, inasmuch as he had only verbal notice of the calls, and that at a period subsequent to the time appointed for the payment of them. The question depended upon the construction to be put upon the articles of association, which required twenty-one days' notice to be given of the time and place for payment-The COURT, being of opinion that the only question was whether the calls could be set-off in these actions, and that ultimately the plaintiff would be liable to pay them, strongly recommended that these actions and all matters in difference should be referred. The case accordingly stood over in order that the parties might see if they could come to an arrangement to that effect. Stands over accordingly. EAST GLOUCESTERSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY P.

In this case the question was whether the defendants were liable for calls in respect of shares in the company. It was contended on the part of the defendants that they were not: first on account of the defective state of the register which did not specify the number of the shares which they held as required by the Companies Clauses Act; and secondly, on account of a proviso in the company's special Act, which provided that no share should vest until payment of a fifth of the amount of it. It was contended by the plaintiffs that the defendants having signed the subscription contract, and there being another book which specifled the numbers of the shares, the defendants were shareholders notwithstanding the fact that the number of the shares did not appear in the register of shareholders: and secondly, that the provisions of the special Act did not prevent calls being recoverable on the shares, but merely were aimed at preventing speculative dealing with the shares before anything had been paid-up upon them.

His letter is in type, and shall be inserted if he wishes. The article in question was written by a frequent contributor, and inserted by us as a matter of course, we only agreeing with the proposition he mentioned to us, namely, that he advocated the adoption in County Courts of the rule which prevails at Quarter Sessions, which is this, that when four barristers are present, the Bar shall have exclusive audience. As this could only be in the very largest towns in the kingdom, we were decidedly of opinion that the rule would operate beneficially for the Profession generally, as elevating the County Courts into species of Superior Courts. The discussion of the proposition, however, proves that it is not to be further entertained, and the rules regulating practice in these courts will remain as hitherto. ERRATUM.-By an error, not attaching to the writer, a letter was inserted last week in our leading columns under the heading "The New County Courts Equitable Jurisdiction Act." It should have been "The New County Courts Act." H. A. L-Possibly. But you surely can keep your own secrets, and who is likely to inform against you? C. R. GIBSON -Your letter shall appear next week.

THE Law and the Lawyers. 220 THE Owl tells us that a vacancy on the Bench is "expected shortly," and that Mr. BRETT will fill it. This is no news to the legal profession. Our sagacious contemporary also avers that it is the opinion of several of the Judges that the new County Courts Act will diminish the common jury business at Westminster and on circuit by one-half. This also we have heard before, and long since expressed the same opinion. 923 73 LORD JUSTICE SIR JOHN ROLT took his seat for the first time as a member of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council yesterday (Friday). 74 74 74 76 77 NEW RULES FOR DESPATCH OF BUSINESS IN CHAMBERS. THE Judges have just published some new rules 76 for the better despatch of business in chambers. They are to be found in the page devoted to the 77 Court Papers. They assign to the Masters a vast quantity of the more formal business hitherto transacted before the Judge in person, requiring, however, that the Masters shall refer to the Chamber Judge any case that may require a better authority. Appeals from the Masters' decisions are to be by summons to be taken out within four days or such further time as may 78 be allowed. An appeal is to be no stay unless so ordered, and the costs of the appeal are to be in the discretion of the Judge. All summonses are to be issued by a Judge as heretofore, but orders by the Masters are to be made in their ORDER IN COUNCIL ON THE NEW COUNTY COURTS ACT. SINCE the passing of this Act an Order in Council has extended to the County Courts those sections of the Common Law Procedure Act 1854 which relate to 66 "Discovery," "Equitable Defences," and the "Attachment of Debts." It is unnecessary to point out to our readers that these are most important additions to the jurisdiction of the County Courts. THE NEW COUNTY COURT RULES. WE understand that a draft of the rules which are to be issued under the new Act has been circulated amongst the County Court judges for the purpose of eliciting suggestions which may be incorporated in the rules before they are finally published. We believe we are right in stating that this final publication will take place before the Christmas holidays. In the mean time the Profession will be glad to learn that the scale of costs is liberally framed. A great deal of unnecessary irritation has been caused by an article which we published upon the subject of the employment of barristers in the County Courts, but as we have subsequently contended, in reply to correspondents, it will be rules to employ counsel than to act themselves. more profitable to attorneys under the new This will appear when we state, we believe accurately, that whilst the fee to counsel may be as high as five guineas and one guinea conference, the attorney will be allowed, attending court on trial with counsel one guinea, drawing brief for counsel 1s. per folio, and appointing and attending conference with counsel 13s. 4d. According to our calculation, the fees to the attorney when instructing counsel would amount to nearly 47.; whilst the highest fee which he is allowed alone is two guineas. Where a case is adjourned 13s. 4d. will be allowed for preparing brief to counsel to argue case; for attending counsel with brief 3s. 4d., and attending court with counsel 10s. 6d. On the other hand, where counsel is not employed, the attorney is allowed one guinea only. In arbitration cases 17. each sitting is to be allowed to the attorney where counsel does not attend; 15s. where he does; the fee to counsel two guineas. But costs of counsel and attorney, not be allowed without the order of a Judge; or of an attorney on attending reference, will allowed without the order of the Judge. nor will the costs of more than one sitting be and On appeal, the sum allowed for preparing deposit on appeal, including service and notice notice will be 10s.; paying money into court as thereof, 5s.; notice of nature and particulars of proposed security, including copies se vice, 5s.; notice of Court to which appeal to be made, 5s. ; preparing case, including copies, 15s.; attending Judge to sign, 7s.; ditto in case of difference to settle, 15s. ; transmitting copies of case, including depositing the same, 5s.; transmitting case and copies, including notice and service thereof, 7s.; application to Judge for leave to proceed on the judgment, 7s.; and depositing order of court of appeal, including notice and service thereof, 4s. There has been a rumour that the new rules would be consolidated with the rules previously existing, and one set issued applicable to all the County Court Acts. We have as yet heard of nothing, however, to lead us to believe that there is any foundation for such a rumour. As to the rules generally, we learn that they are principally devoted to the subject of ejectment, the greater portion of the sections relating thereto in the Common Law Procedure Act being incorporated. The rules of Chancery affecting relief to trustees are also adapted mutatis nutandis. As a whole, we believe, the rules as framed in draft will not undergo substantial modification, and that they will ultimately receive the approval of the public and the Profession.
