COURT. OF COMMON PLEAf3.—Juwo 19.
Sittings at Nisi Prins in Middlesex.— (Before Lewd OW
Justioe Brie and a Special Jury.)
LAViLL T. Tat LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAYCOMPAN.
The plaintiff In this ease was a licensed victualler in
business at the Daniel lambert, Ludgate-hill, and at
the Black Swan, St. Paul'.-churehysrd, a=d he claimed
damages for injuries sustained on the defendants' line.
Mr. Hawkins, Q. 0., and Mr. GriMths appeared for the
plaintiff and Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. llerschell for the
appearedaefen
It that the plsintiff was the holder of a second-
class season ticket on the defendants' line, and on the
morning of the 21st October bat he went to the Camber-
well station to go to LudgatekilL The train came up, but
slightly overshot the platform, and was brought back. The
plaintiff attempted to put his toot upon the step of the
carriage, but hie foot went between the amiss. and the
platform and he fell, but was raised up by the guard, who
helped him into the carriage, and the train immediately
went on. The plaintiff found that he was hurt, and on
the way blood was noticed on his leg. At Blackfriars he
was helped out and taken to a doctor, who found that
the leg was badly cut and wounded; and it was nearly nine
weeks before he could get to business.
The question in the cause was whether the company
was in fault. The plaintiff's case was that the train never
properly came to a stand, and he thought that it was be-
coming stationary at the instant when he stepped, and
that the rebound of the buffer springs caused a iliiftXof
the carriage, and caused his foot to miss the step.
be reached the carriage the door was closed, but the guard
reopened it, and twos helping him in when the accident
haTrldience truthst there wasno fault on thereat of the
company ; that the plaintiff came up running much out of
breath, and the guard opened the door. The train wag ste-
t' , and the guard did not touch the plaintiff, but the
latter having put his foot upon the iron step, he slipped
and fell back. The guard at the moment caught him in his
arms, and prevented him from falling between the train
and the platform. It was further said that when the
plaintiff was in the carriage he was questioned by par
sengers, and said that what bad happened was a pure ac-
cident, and arose from the platform and the step being wet
with rain.
The Lord Chief Justice said that the verdict seemed to
depend upon whether the train was in motion when it
ought to have been at rest.
The jury found a verdict for the defendants.

LIVERPOOL SIJILIIER BLEZTERG.—ThISDAT.
No race course ever presented a more cheerless or wretched
aspect than did that at Aintree to-day. The rain, which the
to descend to Lye/pool from an early hone on Monday
morning, continued throughout the day, and made the course
very heavy and heidiM, and se the weather wee awfully threat-
ening on Tuesday numbes stayed away from the race ground.
The company in the enclosers was perhaps the smelled
ever
seen at the summer and aa the skr looked dell and
leaden, and the rain kept at intervala, the aspect of
affairs may be readily oonoeived. were eight races on the
osrd, and four of these Ailed well; but the dads were small, and
the results must have been terribly disappointing to the lessee,
and the few local people that assembled to 'winos the sport,
which calla for no comment.

ANDEPEON V. ST. JAXINeII HALL COMPANY.
This waa an action arising out of some differences
which had occurred between Mr. Anderson, "The Wizard
of the North," and the St. James's Hall Company
Mr. George Denman, Q.C., and Mr. R. C. Turner, ap-
for the plaintiff • and Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and
red Charles Russell for the defendants.
When the case was called on the learned counsel con-
ferred together with the view of 'effecting an amicable
settlement, and this object was after some delay accom-
plished.
Mr. Denman said the action was brought in Vonee-
quence of the breach of an engagement to allow Mr. An-
derson the use of St. James's Hall • and had the pro-
ceedings gone on, very serious legal difficulties would
have arisen, and it would have become extremely uncer-
tain what the result of the proceedings might be. Under
these circumstances it had been agreed that the litiga-
tion should be settled upon the terms that a juror
should be withdrawn, and that the defendants should pay
the plaintiff 125/. and tie costa of action. Further, that
no imputation should rest upon one or the other, and that
there should be no further publication of grievances by
the parties.
Mr. Coleridge said he was not aware that any imputa-
tion had been made upon Mr. Anderson ; but he felt that
there was a good deal to be said for Mr. Andelion in
reference to his having been turned out of the hail rather
sharply ; and therefore, with the full consent of the de-
fendants, the terms which had been mentioned would be
consented to. He would add, that if there had been any
imputation upon Mr. Anderson it was now withdrawn, and
with this the matter would end.
A juror was accordingly withdrawn.
