William Noonan nd Party.— A complaint that defendants encroached upon the complainants' claim at No Town, and removed washdirfc therefrom. Damages were laid at LSO. The parties are workiug in adjoining claims at Cockney Terrace at No Town. The alleged encroachment coni sisted in the defendants driving so close to the complainants' tunnel that they removed a portion of the 10ft wall, which the bye-laws direct shall be left to support each tunnel. An objection was raised to the wording of the complaint, and the Warden allowed it to be amended, so as to make the charge one of illegal interference with the complainants' workings. A great deal of evidence was taken on both sides, and a verdict was given for the plaintiffs for L 5, inclusive of costs, the defendants to securely timber 20ft of their workings along the tunnel of complainants. The Court was adjourned, after a number of application* wore heard, to January 26th.
