Wednesday last, before Mr. Motteram, Deputy
Judge, this was an action in which the plaint if
sought to recover £l3 lOs from the defendant.
Mr. Prescott was for plaintiff, and Mr. Perry for
defendant. The case had been adjourned from a
previous Citut day. On the case being called on
last Wednesday, Mr. Perry said that on the original
hearing of the case, a verdict had been given for
defendant, and that the question of costs was de-
ferred until last Wednasda,y, to allow of the plain-
tiff producing a note of hand which he had in his
possession. Mr. Perry now asked that such note
be now produced. Mr. Prescott (who was for plain-
tiff) failed to do this, and his Honour gave a ver-
dict for defendant, with costs,

RUNNING DOWN CASE.
CtthWE V PLA.TT.

At the Couaty Court, before Mr. Motteram,
deputy-judge. This was an action brought by Dlr.
Solomon Crewe, brewer, of Clent, against Mr. William
Platt, grocer, or thielown, to recover the sum of
£lO, for injuries received through the alleged negli-
gence of defendant's Man. Mr. WarmingtOn, of
Dudley, appeared for plaintiff, awl Mr. Perry for the
defendant.
Mr. Warmington briefly owned the case, the par-
ticulars of which will be found below.
Solomon Crewe, said that on the 6th of October he
was driving from Stourbridge to Clent. His wife
was in the trap. They left Stourbridge about half-
past seven o'clock. It was dark, but the lamps of
the gig were lit. When at Oldswinford he was with-
in two or three feet from the kerb stone. Defend-
ant's man was driving a.cart. Witness shouted to
the man because he was driving into his trap.. The
man was beyond the middle of the road on his wrong
side. Witness shouted twice and he thought the
man was asleep. The wheel of defendant's cart went
between the off wheel of witnes's trap. The effect
was that both the shafts were broken. The horse
got away, and witness and his wife were thrown out
of the trap. He was thrown within six feet of the
kerb stone and his wife thrown onto the kerbing.
Defendant's man was driving very fast at the time.
Witness at once got up and seized the horses head.
The animal was 15 or 20 yards away at the time, and
was as near the crater on the wrong side as it could
get. He asked the man to give his name and that
of his master. The man said that witness was as
much in the wrong as he was. Witness told the
man that it would be decided somewhere else. The
man said he would knock witness down and run
over him if he did not loose the horse. A number
of people came up and told witness the name of the
man. The road where the collision occurrei was
21ft 9in wide. The cost of the trap was about .25
18s Od. That did not include the time lost by the
horse being in the stable.
Cross-examined: I was driving at the rate of six
or seven miles an hour, and defendant's man at tke
rate of 9to 10 miles. I was not on my wrong side.
There was a trap in front of mine, near where the
accident occurred, belonging to Mr. Hewitt. Mr.
