This was as =toe to roomer 501. damages " for that tkle
defendant so nagligently and carelessly managed • °Mein
fire-engine, them leader his care and mitail, that the plan-
tire horse, then beieg on the public highway was so
hightmed and terrified that it became unmeageable, and
ran against another engine, also under the control of the
defendant, rod we. wounded, and In omesqueme died."
The damndest pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Francis (inarnoted by Mr. Ds Medina) appeared far
the plaintiff ; Mr. Day and Mr. Patties (instructed by
Mews. Ashley sod Tee) repressetiag the defendant.
Upon the question as to whether any gentleman was •
shareholder in s fire-office, his lordship said, " I am afraid
I ass."
Mr. Francis—l do not challenge our lordship.
TM learned comma then peoeeeded to Mite the facts of
the me. The plaintiff was • hersediealer of Fiesbury,
and on the 7th Novice= last plaintiff's son waa
some horses to Kingaland, sad when la the Kinpland=
there were two engines near the some el a fire—ons being
on one ride of the road and the other opposite. They did cot
to be in play ; but just as the *hairs sou parsed,
appear
firemen blew off the stems, the elegises being steam fire-
engines drawn by horsey Now the now of Dia steam blow-
ing off wee so great one of the home plunged across
the mad, itself and inflicting such a waned that
It subemnently . The learned conneal then referred
to a plea put in by the defeadant that the engine was
not under his personal control at the time. Now, this
wee a plea that 'Mold not be put on the record, because
it was well known that Captain Shaw was the head of the
Fire Brigade, and ii would be mime to sue the man actually
in charge of the engioe at the time of the acesident. It
would be shows to the jury that these steam engines had no
name upon them, and were really driven la • reckless and
dangerous manner about the street, and in addition to the
fact that ()spiels Shaw wee the responsible hoed of the
brigade, It would be seen that he had intended himself
very particularly la the matter. In reply to • letter written
by the plaindfs iaatimetions, Captain Shaw stated that
the engineer is charge of the eagles at the time of the
accident was playing at the time, sad plaintiff's sue was
paring through the crowd on a nervous horse, without
any proper reins. This would be proved to be se error.
The erowd had been cleared at the time of the accident, sad
there were proper ram. This being so, the plaintiff wee
clearly entitled to tamest damages.
The plaintiff said he bad been informed that an accident
had happened to one of hie hones, and he mat to White-
crometreet fire-station. Plaintiff saw three me, but not
defendant. Plaintiff sebsequently saw defendant at Wat-
ling-street, and he said be knew nothing about the matter
that was the first he bad heard of it. He
metadded, " tele-
graph if you stop.* It was than agreed plaintiff should
take • man from the Bahamas-area station to look at
the horse. Amore accompaand plaintiff to see the bons,
and afterwards a eommunuation wee stile to the defeellaat.
Captain Slaw and other members of the brigade having
been heard for the defence,
Mr. Day urged that it wee clear that the use of *este=
firulegine was abeantely neosseary for the public good. He
t the jury would look at the evidence of winnow in
the ease, sod remember that the lad in chmge of the hone
had acted negligently in the matter. So far as the case was
°amerced upon the questiou of the mode in which the horse
was ridden, it would appear that upon the halter protimed
most hang the verdict of the jury—(great langhter)-- the
jury must remember that in this matter the boy had been
frightened off by the engine as he said, mos, and returned
a second time at his own risk. There was negligence on
the part of the boy, and none on the part of the brigade, and
he (Mr. Day) trusted the jury would find a verdict for the
defendant.
Mr. Fiends againstbad been Metal that if the verdict of
the jury wait the brigade, the effect would be to
pet down the steam engines altogether. The question was
of importance to the ;abbe so far se life and limb were =-
maned. end It wee for the brigade to employ careful men
to take oar* of thee/aglow.
His Lordship, ia summing up, said that if the jury should
be of opinioa that there was carelessness by the boy, then
the *stiff could not recover ; but if the jury were satis-
fied that the midget had occurred through the steam being
lit off • second time, notwithstanding the revolt of the
first blowing off, thee it would be for the jury to say
whether the defendant should not pay this damage. Them
were the only questions for the jury. 'epos the one side
they had the evidence of the plaintiff end his winsome,
and on the other that of the defendant's witnesses, the
main qaestion being upon which side was there negligence.
The ju retired, and upon their return found a verdict
for the defendant.

and a female, the former of whom died frees and

a labourer, residing at V., Kingrreet, St. Giewee's-in•the.
Bust. Yrs. Knight was delivered of three ander, the
two dressed and soother girl. They were Ilse elialdree,
but there was no doctor or midwife them present, and the
hey died almost immediately. The father was a protestant
and the mother was a catholic. At 10 o'clock the maw
memihs Mrs. Knight told witness and the " handy
woman," Mrs. Clarke, to take the two rank* children
to the Roman catholic chapel in the Conunereial.rwad.—
Dormer Why were they taken out so soon after birth ?
The witness: To make Christians of them—to make
mob of them. None of us would go up above if we were
not made Christina of. Cormier : Was the object to make
catholios of them ?—Witneen : To be sure it was. We
would not have taken them to the chapel if it was or for
that. The mother laid, " Makes far

back before they were christened." Re did net meddle
about religion at all. We wraStiliza two gbh up, and
when we got to the chapel thecame to me sad

It was dyin or deed. The other child was ceristemed

The mother ordered the children to be taken to
be christened without lees of tiros. The husband said at.
termer& that if he was at home be would not have allowed
them to he takes out so soon after birth. Dr. R. fi. Belcher
said that the three children were fall thee and large, on-
Merin; that they were a triple birth. The dressed gist
died from exposure to the cold. It was the most indiscreet
thing poesibie to have taken the children through the
streets immediately after birth on sorb a odd day. The
boy died from want of artificial respiration being resorted
to—in fact, from want of skilled attendance at birth. The
jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased female child
was found dying and did die in a Roman catholic chapel
from the mortal effects of exposure, through being token
out so soon after birth ; and that the deemed boy died
from exhaustion from the abeweris of skilled madame at
birth."
