It is Impossible to imagine a finer position fora great
mansion than that occupied by Chatsworth, on a broad
level plateau, the foreground descending in terraces to
the river Dement, the richly-wooded background
rising in billow-like undulations. The park and grounds
are about ten miles in circumference, and comprise an
area of about 1,200 acres ; and "It would be difficult,"
truly says a writer, "to find anywhere in the mime
space so great a variety of scenery ranging from
the purely sylvan to the wildly romantic, and
from the luxuriant wood to the rugged and barren
rock." The picture galleries contain, perhaps
the most choice and extensive collection of original
drawings by the old masters in any private gallery,
embracing the Italiaa French, Flemish, Venetian,
Spanish, and other schOols, and affording examples of
Raffaelle, Michael Angelo, Albert Purer, Titian,
Rembrandt, Rubens, Leonardo da Vinci, Ponsei:-.,
Claude, Salvator Rosa, Correggio, Andrea del Sado,
Paul Veronese, Domenichino Holbein, Vandyke and,
Indeed, of almost every well'-known name The col.

"COX v. THE GREAT EASTERN \
RAILWAY COMPANY."
The above cause wu an action In the Court of Queen's
Bench for personal injuries by • railway accident. The ;
damages were laid at £2,(00. and, judgment having been ,
allowed togo by default, a special jury was empanuelled to;
war the amount of compensation.
Mr. Tallourd Salter appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Serjunt Parry (with whom was Mr. VOlberforce) repro-
mooted the eompany.
In this case there wag evidence on both sides as to
the injuriee which had resulted from the ac ident, arid
it was of a remarkable character. On the '22nd of No-
vember last year the plaintiff, a decorator, who lived in
Plumber-street, L mdon, was a passenger from Strat-
ford to Shoreditch. The train went off the line, and
be was knocked from one &de to the other of the car.
raise and injured in the head. He thought little of it
at the time but in a clay or two symptoms of a
serious character appeared, and he attempted suicide
with a penknife when delirious. His wife subsequently
died, and he had been living with a friend at Bognor
M
(a
r. Grimsby), and was incapable of following his
occupation as a grainer. The admitted loss to the
plaintiff in expenses and in his trade was £125. He
was examined before the jury, and gave a statement
of the accident and of the manner in which it had
affected him and still affected him. Mr. Grimsby, of
Bognor, woo likewise called.
The principal question in the case wee whether the
plaintiff had received a permanent injury. On hid
behalf it was asserted that he was organically affected
by the accident, and the medical man believed he
would not be able to follow his business. For the
plaintiff, Dr. Flack, Dr. Wad, Dr. Osborn, and Mr.
Gray, a surgeon, stated in their evidence that the
plaintiff had been permanently injured, and would
net be able to follow his occupation. The Attempted
'suicide was considered aa an important feature, and as
evidence that the mental part of the brain was in.

lured.
Mr. Coulson and Mr. Erich., were called on the
part of the company, and their opinion was that there
was no organic injury to the brain, and, therefore, no
permanent affliction. They believed that the plaintiff
would recover in twelve months, and that light em-
ployment would be beneficial. Red the brain been
damaged as described by the medical eviderce on the
other side paralysis would have supervened or other
symptoms which were mentioned, such as the in-
tolerance of light, Sic.
Mr. Telford Salter, in opening the case, informed
the jury that the concussion of the brain had affecred
the upper or mental part, end that the injury was per-
manent. The plaintiff's wife had died, and his son,
as his father was unable to follow his trade, has been
placed in another occupation. It was a sad case, and
one for substantial damages.
Mr. Serjeant Parry, on the part of the company,
relied on the evidence he had given as showing that the
plaintiff would recover, and, in the opinion of two
eminent men, within twelve months. There was no
permanent injury, but only a nervousnees. which
would yield to proper treatment, and his health would
be restored. The plaintiff had not exaggerated his con-
dition, but there had been exaggeration as to the in-
juries he had sustained. Then, again, the v. ant of
some employment at Bognor, where he had been
kindly treated, had not been conducive to his recovery.
Railway companies had less accidents than stage-
coaches, and their stiveholders were not to be mulcted
In large sums on ev.Wnce that there had been per-
manent injuries. The jury would, however, exercise
their common sense and common observation, being
assisted by the evidence they had heard.
Mr. Talfourd Salter impreesed upon the jury that the
ease was most serious, and that the four medical men
who had been called, against two on the other side
one of whom, Mr. Coulson, was always employed
by the Great Eastern Railway) had shown that the
plaintiff was permanently damaged in his brain.
The jury would bear in mind that if they, by the
evidence on the part of the company, apportioned the
compensation on the ground that the plaintiff would
recover in another year, they might do a grievous
wrong to • man who was now only 45 veers old,
and who for more than twelve months haa not been
able, though most willing, to do any work in his trade.
Everything had been done to benefit the plaintiff, and
the jury had seen him under examination, and he
asked them, with his learned friend, to apply their
common sense and common observation in estimating
the amount of damages to be awarded.
Mr. Under Sheriff Burchell, in placing the case
before the jury, told them they had an important point
to decide—namely, whether the plaintiff was or was
not Railway injured. Wee the plantiff to be •
pensioner on the Great Eeastern way for the rested
is life, he being now only 45, or was he to be oily
compensated for a temporary injury. The case, wee la
effect, a conflict of medical testimony, and the jury
had heasd both sides, and had also seen the de-
meanour of the plaintiff. It WM quite true that there
could be no redress to the plaintiff, if the jury gave
composeation for a temporary injury, when it should
turn out to be permanent, neither would there be
any redress to a railway company if a man was com-
pensated for a permanent injury and it turned out
to be only of a temporary character. There might
be some alterations in the law by which such a
failure could be avoided. The question was on
which side the jury would give credence; the medi-
cal men were equally respectable, and the jury would
exercise their own judgment after what they had
seen and heard. The amount of damages was one pe-
culiarly for the determination of the jury. A. sum of
£125 was admitted as to the loss already austained,
and the jury would say to what further amount the
plaintiff was to be compensated—whether for a tem-
porary or • permsnent injury.
The jury retired for about a quarter of an hour, and
on their return assessed the damages at £1,250-
