LOCAIi LAW CASE.

At the Gloucester Assizes on Tuesday, the case
of tile Homer Hill Colliery v. Swindell was heard.
Mr. Matthews, Q.C., Mr. Motteram, Q.C., and Mr.
Jell were for the plaintiff; Sir Henry James,
Q.C., and Mr. 3;FRory (both specially retained),
and Mr. Basanquet were for the defendant.
Upon the case being called on, Sir Henry James
informed his Lordship that an arrangement had
been arrived at; but it was thought advisable, as
part of the arrangement, that the circumstances
of the case should be stated in public. Theplain-
tiff company had purchased from the father and
uncle of the defendant a colliery in Staffordshire,
and after the purchase diffierences had arisen with
regard to it, which resulted in cross suits being
taken in Chancery, to which the defendant was
made a party. In the course of the proceedings
that followed, an order to inspect the colliery was
granted to the defendant. In availing himself of.
this order he found it necessary to test an engine
on the property, and in so doing the engine was
seriously damaged. The question in dispute was
as to the liability of the defendant to pay for this
damage, and in considering this Sir Henry said
that he and his friend Mr. Matthews had been
able to advise their clients to agree to the follow-
ing terms :—The plaintiff's withdrew all charge or
suggestion of wilfulness against the defendant,
and credited him with acting in perfect good
faith, and the defendant agreed to pay the damage
to the engine, the amount to be ascertained by an
arbitrator. In undertaking to do this, the de-
fendant was not to be taken as admitting legal
liability or moral blame, but he regretted that by
an act of his injury should have followed, and
desired to make compensation.
Mr. Matthews, expressed his concurrence with
what had been said, and
The learned Judge said it was matter of con-
gratulation that the parties had put themselves in
the hands of their counsel, and that the dispute
was thus reduced to a mere question of money.
The record wai then withdrawn.
