In a County Court case at Carlisle, reported in the _Carlisle Journal_,
of October 31st, 1851, the judge (J. K. Knowles, Esq.) is represented to
have said:—“You may depend upon it, if I could do anything for you, I
would, for I detest all railways. If they get a verdict in this case it
will be the first, and I hope it will be the last.”
