Map at Niel Prins in London.—(Before Lord OhW
Justice Me and a Special Jury.)
NEWLYN AND WOE R. THE NORTH LONDON HALLWAY
comPe2rr. . . .

This was an actkin to recover damages for injuries sus-
tained by the female plaintiff upon the defendants' line.
Mr. Serjeant Parry, Mr. Joyce, and Mr. Ina our ap
wed for the plaintiffs • and Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. F.
M. White, for the defendants.
The plaintiffs kept a dairy at Camden-town, and be-
tween 9 and 10 at night on the sth of July last Mrs.
Newlyn was at Highbury station, waiting to go to Camden-
town. Her case was that she inquired of a porter which
was the next train to Oamden-town, and was told the first
train would take her there. The first train, however,
consisted only of trucks, and did not stop
at Highbury. The second was a passenger train,
and the female plaintiff got into it. At this time
there were no porters &boot, and no person to direct or
assist her. She found that the train palmed Camden-town
station without stopping. She was nursing her body upon
her knee, and when within a short distance of Chalk-farm
station there was a jerk upon passing some points, and
she was thrown forward, the door flew open, and she fell
through the opening on to the line. The train was fortu-
nately going very slowly, but the plaintiff's ankle was
sprained, and, of course, she was considerably shaken.
She got into the carriage after some children had left it,
and her case was that the children closed the door, but
that it was never fastened, and that the negligence of the
company's servants in not seeing that the doer was not
fastened led to the accident.
For the defenos it was stated that the train into which
the plaintiff got was an excursion train, which was bring-
ing home a number of children from Epping Forest. The
iriUnd and the porter called out that this was an excursion
train, and that no one was to get into it, and the porter
stated that he closed all the door, of the train as it was
I • and all the doors were properly fastened when it
left. The points-man stated that he saw the plaintiff
leave the train, and that she came feet first, as though she
were leaving it in a voluntary way. A young woman, a
neighbour of the plaintiff, said that Mrs. Newlyn told her
the day after the aoddent, that she was stepping out of the
train before it bad quite flopped, and that in, this way she
sprained her ankle. Mrs. Newlyn, in her evidence, de-
rued that she ever made this statement.

—Flub jury after considering the matter for half an hour,
found for the defendants.
