Tho Loud Ciiikf Justice aaid he could not tee any provision in the Act for compensation to telegraph elerkt of railway companies, and there was this obvious reason for th distinction between th two clauses of companies, that The result was that the the telejraph companies were to be extinguished but the railway companies wrre not, and wrre revun larir own telegraph service, so that their telegraph clerks would not be deprived of their employment. In the result, after full arfument.

At the suggestion of the Lord Chief Justice, ILtrtmont was called as a witness and examined as a witness adversely by both parties, and the jury found, in answer to questions propowd to them, that the directors of the defendant company did not know at tbe time of the agreement that there was no patent but 'that Hartmount and Liehert knew, and that the directors of the Berlin company also knew that there wit no patent, though the shareholder believed thst ther was. these findings, The I)Kt CitlM JcsTin directed th verdict for the plaintiff, with leave to the defenlants to move to enter it in their favour on anv noints of Mr. Butt, i.C, Mr.

Mr. J.t,, snowed cause against tne rule, wnicn was supported by Mr. (ilffARD, Mr. DAT, Q.C, and Mr.

I altocrd Salter, Q.C. The action was for an injury alleged to have bsen stw talnetl by th plaintiff, tha housekeeper of a man named Hart, living at St. Jokn's wood, by being struck by the pole of one of the defendant' omnibuses. At th trial, the servant of the company swore that no such accident had occurred at all, and endeavoured to trace tha plaintiff's injuries to a fall, alleged to hava occurred on tie steps of the Brighton Aquinum. Th plaintiff swore that aha had merely slightly flipped on that occasion, sustaining no injury whatever.

At th trial, before Mr. Justice Brttt in Fsbruary, 1874, th evidence was very conflicting, and maay facta came out calculated to discredit much of the plaintiff' testimony, bat two apparently respectable witaessea, a Mr. Clark and a Mr. Broadway, won that they saw tbo accident, and the plaintiff recovered a verdict for 30 damages. Affidavit, w.r now filed by the landlord of th boos where Clark alleged that he carried on business to tke effect that he had never carried on bnainess then that he bad ceased to occupy before the trial, aad that he had never paid any rent.

Wright defended Uam and Mr. Harris defend sd Matthew. Mr. Hawk ia opening the cas to th jury, explained that th? prosecutors were Messrs. Jackson and Grahaat, the well known upholsterers and cabinetmakers In Oxford street, and th.

pro. cation hid been instituted not merely for the purpose of inflicting any substantial punishment on the five defendants, but with th objeet of bringing them to understand, and through them the public, that they had exceeded the right conceded to them by law. The frose cntors employed upwards of 100 hand, and dowa to November last th.y had been in the habit of paying their men by day work, whether the work done waa more or lea. After the 13th of November they determined that each man should be paid by th piece, according to which very man would be rewarded according to hit deserts. They had a right to employ the men who worked for them in such a way and to pay them accordingly.

There was an association called th Alliance Cabinetmakers' Society, of which, he believed, the defendants wen mem bers.and two of them Ham and Reed wer on tha execu tive committee. Tha mode in which Jaekaoa and Graham were about to pay their men appeared to hav given great offence to that Society, and that lad to a state of things which had resulted in this prosecution.

On the other haml, the workmen had aa equal riiht to come and go, and to make their own bar gain but then mutt alwayt be two parti to a bargain tbe employer and the employed. In this ease, however, a system of molestation and annoyanoo bad been retorted to ttaenm lmxt intolerable and the rjroaccntioa hail been instituted in order that the defendants might know, on authority, that they wen not permitted by law to resort to molestation for th purpose of coercing tba will of those who had a right to exercise their discretion, and that if they did otherwise, they would assuredly bring themselves within tke pal of tha criminal law, with all the attendant consequences.
