Mr. Manlike said the company did not treat this other-
wise then am a serious case. and he added that he had
never heard any one give fairer evidence of hie sufferings
than the plaintiff. So far from hie being the feeble broken
dew* man be had been described, there was every rea-

be would ultimately recover.
A large number of medical men of eminence, hieladieg
Dr. Ferguson, surgeon extraordinary to the Qua" were
celled on behalf of the plaintiff, and they were it opinion
that it was doubtful if the plaiutiff would recover. Other

Was a CAM in which a plaintiff in a breach of promise
woe had some into court with greeter claims on the kind
consideration of a jury than the young lady who had
