The new branch line of railway between Lisburn and Antrim was opened yesterday for traffic. It is some ten years since the Act of Parliament authorising its execution was first obtained, but, owing to various circumstances, the line has never been completed until the present. It is twenty miles in length, and will be of great advantage in opening up the thickly - populated county between the points of junction, and the no less important matter of accelerating the mail service between Dublin and Antrim, Ballymena, Ballymoney, Coleraine, &c. A display of fireworks took place in Crumlin in the evening.

Lisburn Quarter Sessions

Today at eleven o'clock, the Quarter Sessions for this division of County Antrim were commenced in the new Courthouse, Railway Street, (Lisburn) before David Ross, Esq., County Court Judge for Antrim.

Action for the destruction of a stack of oats by sparks from a locomotive.

Richard Bell sued the Great Northern Railway Company for charges sustained by sparks from a locomotive destroying a stack of oats.

James Johnston, surveyor, was examined for the plaintiff, also John English, Daniel Mulholland, James Steel, and John McKeown. Charles Mortimer was examined for the defendants. After a lengthened hearing, his Honour dismissed the case, on the ground that plaintiff failed to prove any negligence on the part of the defendants.

Mr. Young appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. McLean for defendants.

This was a civil bill brought by Henry Balance, of Crewe, Glenavy, against the Great Northern Railway Company (Ireland), having an office at Lisburn, for £5 loss and damage sustained by plaintiff for that the defendants as common carriers and undertook and contracted for hir and reward on a day now past to provide a cattle waggon for the conveyance of a number of cattle from Ballinderry to Belfast, but neglected to provide, to plaintiff's loss in the amount aforesaid.

Mr G.B. Wilkins appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. James Quail (for Mr. Wellington Young) for the defendant Company.

Henry Balance, the plaintiff, said that on December 13th he gave the stationmaster an order to get a cattle truck for the first passenger train on morning of 15th. He did not receive any notice that the Company would not send a truck. On the morning he brought two fat cattle to the train named, and was met by the stationmaster who said he had been waiting for two hours for a special goods train which was to leave a truck at the station. He said he was very sorry. He lived three miles from the station and had to take the cattle back home, which injured the cattle considerably. He also lost 2s 6d a head which he had paid for the entrance fees of the cattle at Messrs. Robson's show.

Mr. Quail said he had no question to ask. He said there was no comment.

Mr. Swarbrig, stationmaster, at Ballinderry said he received the order from Mr. Ballance and forwarded it to Dundalk. He had got trucks for Mr. Ballance before.

Mr. Quail said there was no obligation on the part of the Company. If Mr. Ballance had paid the money necessary there would have been a contract. These trucks were hard to get and they had to send to other parts of the line for them.

Mr. Wilkins submitted that there was a ontract, and, as in the case of Crouch v. the London and North Western Railway Company, the Railway Company as carriers were bound to carry.

His Honour said that as the Company did not notify the stationmaster that they could not supply a truck, then there was an acceptance of contract. In his opinion the Railway Company were clearly liable, but no damage was proved except mere speculation as to loss. There was a loss of 2/6 per head and injury by the cattle travelling on the roads. He would give a decree for £1.

Dr. Adams, J.P., coroner, held an inquest on 20th inst., in the workhouse, Antrim, on the body of Robert Waddel, who died from injuries received on the railway line on the 19th inst. Robert Clinton, 14, Athol Street, Belfast, engine-driver for the Great Northern Railway said he was in charge of the 8.30 a.m. train from Belfast to Antrim on the 19th inst. About 1 ½ miles on the Crumlin side of Glenavy he noticed a man sitting on the outside of the line, who took no notice of the whistle. Witness applied the brake, but the stops of the carriages caught the deceased, knocking him over. The train was brought to a standstill at once, and the injured man brought to Antrim. Witness saw the man abut fifty yards ahead, and th train was going from thirty to thirty-five miles an hour at the time. The train was about 150 yards past the man when it stopped. Deceased was sitting with his back to the train, and the steam was immediately shut off when the witness saw him. Dr. Samuel gawn, said deceased was brought to hospital on a stretcher. He had a large lacerated wound on his left ear, and the bones of the skull and face were shattered and loose, the lower part of his brain being visible. The injuries received were the cause of death. The jury found in accordance with the medical evidence, and attached no blame to any person.

A very interesting function took place at Glenavy on the 14th inst., when the popular stationmaster was presented by the subscribers and travellers from Glenavy with a splendid gold watch and chain as a token of their appreciation of his courtesy and attention to the travellers on the line during the ten years he has been stationmaster. The following were present on the occasion:-

Mr. John Laird,J.P., chairman; Mr. John McClure, hon. Treasurer; Mr. E.H.A. Branagh, hon. Secretary; Messrs. Thomas Sefton, W.H.H. Downer, Thomas Kerr, J. Johnston, and others. Dr. Mussen, J.P. sent an apology, being unable to be present. Mr. Laird said that Mr. Sherlock had been an ideal stationmaster, and. While he was most obliging and attentive to subscribers and passengers travelling on the line, he never forgot to consider and safe-guard the interest of his employers. Short complimentary speeches were made by Mr. McClure, Mr. Branagh, Mr. Kerr, and Mr. Sefton who handed Mr. Sherlock the watch and chain, after which Mr. Sherlock feelingly replied, stating that he would never forget the kindness of his friends at Glenavy, and that by continued attention to the wants of the passengers he hoped to retain the confidence of the public, while carefully looking after the interests of his employers.
