Tho law of 1819 alt the subject provided that tn ease of dls. pute cither as to plaice, nanner, or amount of rompensntion, when one company wished to cross the track of another, such questions should be dechled by Commissioners to ba appolnted for such purpose, | But the act of 18h! was different, and after leaving out the clause a3 to the appolntinent of Commission- ers provided that In case of dispute as to place or amount the question should be set- tled in tho manner preserlbed by Inw, The Legislature had neglected to provide any mode for settling such a dispute, and at pres- ent no new company could eruss the tracks af an old ono unless by consent of the latter, ‘The rights of the Conipan y were on the anny lovel ng those of private eftizens, and its Innd could not be taken without just compensa- tion first made.

Lastly, he claimed that the Constitution required that in all sults for condennations of land the trial should be by jury and the damages assessed by them, Judge Jameson suid tint was clearly tho lnw as to private citizens, bit the Important point wns whether it applied as well to. cor- porations.

Mi. CAMPBELL, ON BENWALF OF THE WEST- KIN INDIANA, began by reading from the Lake Shore's churter a provision ta the effect that, wher- ever a new rallroad was uuthorized by the Legislature to cross its tracks or the ground acqttred under that charter, such power wis reserved’ to the State, and the State might grant it to aw new company, ‘Tho Lake Shore accepted that ebarter, and became sub- Ject to its terms and conditions. Ove of the powers reserved to the Stute was the right bo charter new companies to cross its tracks and all the ground it might aequire. and the Lake Shore, in accepting the charter, agreed, when a new conspaty was chartered, to unite with tin making a crossing upon. its own ground, ‘Pho act virtually sald to a new company, “ You may cross the track of any ald company at any valle on ts route.” ‘Thls was not a question of ouster between private individuals, buta question as to whether the Western Indiana was using the stati tory right conferred upon it by the State in its covenants with the Lake Shore, Com- orthwestern relisation — Wi .. | tempt at violenes upon tho negro, the gen- ponent to babi Pe eae aunar eral verdict being that ono party ts ns much of tho property consented that en- | te,blaniy as the other, try might) be imads and compensation ‘The girl's friends will probably attempt to adjusted afterwards, Whatever ijgnt be | lave her contined in an asylum until the sid on the «qtiestion of title, fact re | HeKre can be Induced, by monvy or othor- inalned) that tho Buvllugton ‘mQP North- | Wise, to depart for other ellmes.
