After Turn Nisi Prins Sittings Westminster.--(Before the load Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) ett al.o e. sirs LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY. This WM an action to recover compensation fur injuries res ived by the plaintiff's wife through the alleged negli ,,,sot of the defendants' servants. The defendants pleaded Tiet FujitP a t , gerjeant Ballantine and Mr. Hull were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Hannan were counsel for the defendants. The plaintiff was formerly in the merchant service and about two years ago he took a house and 20 acres of dairy lan d, oiled the Oaks, at Halcomb, Sussex, and where he was raiding at the tune of the accident. The wife was • b o oby person, of active habits. On the 20th of Fi b tu aty, 1865, Mrs. Shelley went to Brighton, where they also had a residence. The train arrived at pest 3 o'clock in the afternoon and stopped A l oft of the platform with the carr iage in which yrs Shelley was riding. It had been snowing, the wee der was dull, and it was getting dusk. On the arrival o f the train, the porters called out Brighton," and one of them opened the door, and then went forward. After mo tateg a little time, and no one coming to assist her with her luggage, she proceeded to alight, as she sup ...ed, on the platform, instead of which she fell down ;Aelith of 1 foot 8 inches on a turn-table. She fell on a otos of iron which belonged to the turn-ta h ble. She broke L et ; har chest, aide, and hip were muc bruised, and der person very severely shaken. She screamed out, when m y tt il porters came to her, and assisted her into the waiting-room, where she was seen by a surgeon, and afterwards conveyed in the oompany'a invalid car riage to her residence at Brighton. She was unable t o get upstairs, and the dining-rooms bad to be appropriated to her use, one of them being toted into a bedroom. She kept her bed from the .20th February until the 30th March, and she was confined to the house for a period of another two months, She was saw suffering great pain in the side, numbness of the wine and top of the head, giddiness, palpitation, and prolapsus. There was now, after a period of eighteen months, a great want of power in the left arm and leg; her left tha n was at one time 14 or 15 degrees lower in tempera. tare the right, and it was now - between seven or eight degrees lower. are. Shelley, who stated she was 57 years of age, gave her statement of what happened, and appeared now to be suffering severely from the effects of the accident. The plaintiff's husband was called, and said his wife before the accident was a strong healthy woman ; now she was a wreck. She used to accompany him for three or four hours' shooting. She was now unable to walk shout 100 yards, and frequently fell down. Dr. Samuel Barker, of Brighton, considered she was worse now than when the accident occurred, and the in juries were likely to be permanent. She was a very active yeoman before the accident, and was able to run up a flight of stairs with ease. Dr. Capp gave evidence as to the seriousness of the injuries. Dr. Hancock, of Charing-cross Hospital, expressed his opinion that she would never be the same woman she was before the accident happened. A witness was called who stated that the turn-table was in the middle of the platform. This was the plaintiff's case. The defendants called no witnesses, though she had been on several occasions examined by eminent medical men on behalf of the company. Mr. Hawkir.s addressed the jury in mitigation of damages, contending that there was no negligence on the part of the company in the formation of the platform ; and that unless the jury were of opinion she had exhibited proper care and caution, the plaintiff was not entitled to recover. She had ample time for seeing, before she stepped out, that there was a break in the platform oppo site the carriage. She ought to have used more caution, sad the company were not liable for her neglect. The Lord Chief Jostice in summing up said there could be no doubt this lady had met with a moat calamitous accident, but the defendants were not liable unless blame could be legally imputed to them. The question was whether it was right for the company to allow the door to be opened and invite persons to step out. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1,8001. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at Nisi Prius in Middlesex.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Bovill and a Special Jury.) STOKES r. KLI.LoCK. This case was partly heard yesterday. It was an action for malicious prosecution in summoning the plaintiff, a surgeon-dentist, iu Brook-street, Grosvenor-square, before a magistrate at Marlborough-street, on a charge of steal ing some coals from the cellar of the defendant, Miss Kellock, who rented the upper part of his house. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and lffr. M'lntyre appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. D. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Philbrick for the defendant. At the rising of the court last night, his lordship re peated a hint which he had previously given of the prim dines of coming to an amicable arrangement by saying that the interregnum would afford the parties another op portunity of " imparting." Consequently, this morning, a consultation took place between the counsel, which, after some time, resulted in a settlement being arrived at. Mr. Kamm said—Gentlemen of the jury, his lordship was kind enough, when we were leaving the court last night, to make a suggestion which, though conveyed in a jocular way, was, like moat of the suggestions that come from the bench, full of deep meaning, and, in this case, of benevolence towards the parties. My learned friend and myself have also had the advantage of hearing the sug gestion repeated this morning, and we have taken the matter well into our consideration. I always was of opinion, and Miss Kellock is of that opinion now, that there never was the slightest pre tence for charging Mr. Stokes with any desire to do anything fraudulent or felonious. I cannot help saying that Mr. Stokes's character, so far as I know, and so far as I am informed of it, would of itself have given a complete negative to any person knowing him of any such charge ; and both I and Miss Kellock desire that he should go forth from this court with his character in no way impeached. His whole course of conduct shows that not only is he free from any act of the kind which has been suggested, but also from any desire to do any act of the kind having passed through his mind. Thereforehegoesfrom this court by the voice of Miss Kellock, and also that of her counsel, honourably acquitted sad respectfully apologised to. We have arranged that you should give Twir verdict for the plaintiff for M. and the remainder of the arrangement will be 'between ourselves, but that verdict will be an answer to any ill-natured stranger to Mr. Stokes who would take up the report in the newspapers and venture to speak disrespectfully of Mr. Stokes or his family. There is a matter also that is personal to myself. I and my friend Mr. Serjeant Ballantine are friends of thirty-one years' standing, and I should be extremely sorry if any thing I have said in this case should cause anybody to think that there has been any interruption in that friendship. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine— I am extremely glad that this conclusion has been arrived at. I have myself known Mr. Stokes for a great number of years, and my learned friend has only done justice to him in the account which he has given of his character. His object in taking these pro- ceedings is not money, but to place himself thoroughly right before the public, before whom these injurious asser tions have been made. As to matter personal to myself, I ma happy to know that there is no interruption of Mr. Keaue's friendship for myself, and I know this not only from what he has said to my face, but from what he has said behind my back. Lord Chief Justice Bovill—This, gentlemen, is a very Painful case, and I am glad that by the consent of counsel on both sides it is settled, and I must say that everyone who has heard the case must feel that there is not the slightest imputation upon the character of Mr. Stokes. The foreman of the jury—Certainly not, my lord. A verdict was then given for the plaintiff—damages 2001. . ..----------_----o_ • .

In a minute or two afterwards he was unable to proceed, and he then ceased to speak. Seeing that he was ill, his friends led him into another room, and two medical men, Dr. Saunders and Dr. Bennett, were sent for, but be was past all hope of recovery, and he died in about two hours and a half, from what proved to be an epileptic attack.
