RAILWAY COMPANY:—PETAL ACCIDINT.
This was en action by the widow and administrate: of
Richard Canning, late in the employ of the Linden amit
Brighton Railway Company, bet who had bees heed in
the line. The plaintiff sought to recover damages Wen lire
ground that th
the come deceased had met his death MO the
n of pan_y' sservaats.
*
W. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Heine appeared for the
plaintiff; and Mr. EL C inners, Q.C., for the defendants.
It was stated that the deceased bad been employed by the
company for some years, first as a porter, and subaernently
as poinumn. Oa the 27th July last he was standing on the
Hoe, &short distance below the London•bridge statics, en
at a time whoa a train was being pushed into that steals.
The engine was behind the train, and thus the driver wee
not in a good position to tee. As soon as Canning was SINS
he was called to, but it was too late, for the train strum&
him and knocked him on to a heap of ballast, and the
wheels passed over Ms legs sad so injered him that he died.'
The plaintiff's case being that her husband had lost his life'
through the negligence of the company's servants, the pria•
eipal point relied on was that the engine was behind the
train, which it was said was an improper situation for it to
be in.
The Chief Justice, however, was of opinion that it had not
been shown that the accident had been nosed by the negli-'
pace of the company's servants, and without any nnli7
genes on the part of the donned, who it did not appear had
any business standing in the place when he was when bteesl
Muth.
The plaintiff was accordingly nonsaited.

This was an action to reenter seventeen 401.
comseq of the defendant having perfoneelPisara
number of times a piece called " Old Joe and Teeng Ira:
of which the plaintiffs claimed to be the proprietors.
Mese were not guilty, and a denial that the plaintiffs wen
proprietors of the piece in question.
Mr. Serjeant Byles and Mr. Russell appeared for the
plaintiffs ; and Mr. Warren, Q C , and Mr. Hawkins were
for the defendant.
The action wee founded upon the Dramatis) Copyright
Act, which states that any person perfotaing a dramatic
pins without the authority of the author or other pro-
prietor shall forfeit 40s. for every such representation, or
the amount of the profit derived from such representation.
The plaintiffs, Messrs. Shepherd and Creswiek, are lessees
of the Surrey Theatre, end the defendant is proprietor of
the Grecian Saloon In the City-road. The plaintiffs' case
was that they had employed Mr. Courtney as what is called
a" stock author," and had sent him to Paris to look after
the original of " Old Joe and Yong Joe," and adapt it for
the English stage, and that the right of representing the
piece belonged to them. Mr. Courtney, who was celled as a
witness, however, gave ,different version of the affair, and
stated that it was not for that purpose that he had been mat
to Paris.
On the (part of the defendant, a document was put is
dated July 4,1054, by which Mr. Courtney, in considers-
Wm al 41., assigned the right of representing " Old Joe and
Twos Joe" at the Owns Saloon, to the defendant.
The Chief Jetties ezpressed opinion t hat if the
plaintiffs hod employed Mr. Courtney to adapt the piece,
and had sent him to Paris for that purpose, they would be
entitled to the right of repmentation, and his lordship
loft it to the jury to say whether the plaintiffs had employed
Mr. Courtney.
The jury answered the question in the affirmative, and a
verdict was catered for the plaintiffs for 341., subject to the
nine of the court upon the question whether it was Re-
esman that the plaintiffs should have an assignment in
writing of the copyright from the author.

Miss Bustin Morris, and the defendant is an attorney of thfs
Doerr, sad although the action was brought to recover a
sin of money, there were very peculiar cinnunstances eon
meted with this ease. In the year 1849 the plaintiff's
attention was directed to an advertieement which appeared!
in one 01 the Bristol papers, touched in the following terms :
" Matrimony,—A gentleman in the legal profession
wishm to meet with a you's, lady of evangelical
principles. A pressure of business has prevented hiss

that a friend of the plaintiff's, another young lady, wee
induced to answer it, and the result was an assignation was
made, and a south! took place between the plaintiff and
bar friend and the efendsat, end whether his client was
endowed with greater attractions than the other young lady
