Birmingham County Court: Yesterday: Before Mr. J. Motteram, Q.C. Judge: An important Question: The London and Northwestern Railway company v Evans: In this case the company sued Mr. Robert Evans, of the Clive and Street Flour Mills for £10 0s 11d, charge for warehousing goods consigned to him. Mr. Pinsent (of the firm of Messrs. Barlow, Smith, and Pinsent) appeared for the company; and Mr. Hugo Young (instructed by Messrs. Coleman) was for the defendant. Mr. Pinsent said that prior to 1876 the company was in the habit of allowing millers and others to leave their goods at the station without charging any rent. In 1876, the company came to the conclusion that the arrangement should not continue, and a notice was accordingly forwarded to each of their customers stating that after the 2nd October in that year, grain, flour, seeds etc. would be charged at a halfpenny a sack if allowed to remain after twenty eight days. It was admitted by the defendant that he had received one of the notices and an advice not informing him of the arrival of the goods … … Mr. Pinsent said his contention was, firstly that the company were entitled to make this claim as warehousemen, irrespective of statutory authority, and secondly that if they were not so entitled as warehousemen, they were entitled as carriers under the second part of the 63rd section 9 and 10 Vic., cap. 204, which gave them power to charge for “any other services incidental to the business and duty of carriers”. …

Highweek Parochial Schools: On Monday the adjourned meeting of the ratepayers was held in the school room to receive the architect’s report as to the best method of increasing the school accommodation to meet the requirements of the increasing population: present: The Rector, the Rev. S. G. Harris in the chair; Messrs. T. Ness, J. Segar, J. Pinsent, Senr., T. Shilstone, W. Shilstone, J. Rowell, J. Salter, R. Francis, Hele, Baker, G. Davis, J.T. Soltau, Capt. Atkins, Capt. Rundle, and the Rev. R. Hall. The Architect (Mr. Rowell) said he had considered the suggestion of extending the infants school and found it would interfere with the light and ventilation of the other schools and also the necessary offices. If carried out it would give increased accommodation to about thirty infants and would about £200. A better plan he thought would be to take the present infants’ school for a classroom, the boy’s room for the girls and the girls’ room for the infants and procure a room for the boys elsewhere. … (possible scheme to purchase the adjoining cottage and garden from Mr. Vicary – other options to build on top of the girls’ school or buy the Salem Chapel outside of the parish … question of costs ) … Mr. Soltau then moved that a committee consisting of the chairman, Mr. Segar and Mr. Pinsent be appointed to wait on Mr. Vicary to know if he would sell the adjoining property, and on what terms, also to ascertain if there were any other sites in the locality available for the purpose of a Boys’ school and to report at a future meeting.
