to about 1215. The plaintiff was now recovering, but very
slowly, and be would always have a stiff joint, and it
would be fully 12 months before he would be able to
follo• his occupation, and would require much careful
attention.
This being the cue for the plaintiff, Mr. Cole in
addressing the jury submitted that the accident was
owing to plaitalre own negligence in getting out of the
carriage whilst in motion, and that this negligence was of
• most reckless character. He then called the following
lateness for the defence.
