the stoker then Doe", a coal arid broke the window.
This roused the guard, who got up, and appeared to
be nulling off the lireek instead of putting it on.
The defendanee c re was that the guard was euddeuly
taken ill, and was not drunk at all, and also that there
wan contributory negligence t[ii the part of the plaintiff,
because he had no right to be standing where he wan,
and might have got out of the way before the train
The guard, Richard Hill, was celled, but did not
answer at first, end the attorney who was ading for
him stated that by the advice of moment he would not
appear.
Ilie Lordship Fetid that woo nonsense. It was the
hest thing that could happen to an accused pervon to
have the opportunity of telling his own story upon oath.
The guard having come into the box stated he had
been advised not to give evidence.
Hie Lordship : Nonsense you must give evi[lence.
If they sek you a question, the answer to which y.au
think would hurt you in the other court you need not

Dr. Dunlop, who had attended the guard during Ide
ill!, es stated that the abscess was not any better at
the time of the accident. lie had net told the guard
he wan too ill to go to work, but thought it could
have been better if he had not gone to work. He
thought he wan in that state when a little drink might
produce a great effect upon him.
A number of wi'nessee were called to prove that the
guard was not drunk, but only ill on the day of the

cedent for i', and of the highest kind. In ISEd there was
