ii. 16.. fares for plaietifi sad • Wand to Northampton,
4a. oharritd as fare from Blieworth to Crick, and U. 6a faros
be& frotn Crick to Logsdon.

Mr. B. iareeyappwarea. for the plaintiff, and Mr. S. Hill
was counsel tor defendant.
Mr. De Jereey, in opening the thee, said this was a public
leatiew, and one in which the public were so deeply interested
that lir. Graver, at great loss of time, bad determined upon
trying it. lie had no personal feeling spinet the railway
company, but It was a duty every man owed to the publie
that when as important quesUon arose the point should be
authoritatively settled. Mr. Graves felt this, and wortld tell
his honour on oath the nature of the ease.
Mr. Graves said he was a merchant of the City of London.
On Sunday, the 26th of September bat, he left his house at
sod drove to the defendants' station In Boston-
snare. He took t return ticketa for Northampton and
beck to London, for which he paid 38e. He asked the
porter to pat him into a carriage gain to Northampton, and
the porter, opening a carriage doer, said, " Get in here,
dr." Plaintiff and his friend got In, and the train duly left.
They proceeded on their journey until they arrived at Crick,
and then plaintiff asked of a porter if the train was goion
to Northampton. The porter replied, " Oh, you nought to
have changed at Dilworth." Plaintiff sad his friend got
out, and plaintiff expressed hie astonishment that he had
not been informed of the fact at Bliaworth, when be wee
told that the weal notification bad been given at that
plus. Plaintiff denied that, and left the eddies—
after paying 41., the fen from Bltewortb to Crick—hi
search of a oceveyeaes. No conveyance could be found,
and plaintiff, with his friend, returned to the Crick Railway
station, and were charged Ns fares to London. When
plaintiff said be wanted to go to Northampton the
porter said, "Oh, this frequently wears." At the Ruston
station plaintiff distinctly asked to be put in a carriage for
Northampton. The porter did not tell whams that he would
have to change at Blieworth. Bliewerth wee not called out
fn plaintin hearing. The porter at Crick was very at-
tentive.
Croes-examined—At Blinworth did not hear the porter call
out, "Change hare for Peterbore' and Northampton." Was
not adeep. Six years ago changed at Blieworth. Lost a
good dinner by miming. (Laughter.)
His Honour—You can't :barge anything for that. (Re-
mewed laughter.)
Croes-axamination oontinued—Thought I was going direct
to Northampton. The patties ( ffered to take ea back to
London upon our return tickets, but I reined to give them
up, sad was charged the retain fare. Did net mei say label
on the carriswe we rods In. Certainly did not see any label
" Birmingham." At Easton station the porter said, "Get
in here."

kr:Hill—l don't are hew the comply tan be made liable
for the action of their portal.
His Honour—The servant ads atter the contract is made
with the company. &dryads, hood that at a railway statics
the porters talcs you Into their uwn hand'.
Mr. Hill—Your honour will had new that the Mena to
this action Is the plaintiff's own negbgence. Now, I dial
call evidence to prove that the porter at liffeworth called out
quite loudly. And as to the 4s. chorged at Crick, bed plan-
et remained in the lotion.be would net ban beta charged,
but the company, In mit-protection, are bead to charge the
extra faro, or elm portion woad take a diet kr a certain
stalks, and then purposely sodas carried over would walk
off comfeetably. As to tim Ws book to Ladd, me charged
because *theft would act give up the other tidied.
Mr. De larsly—No. They are his contracts.
Mr. Hill that called the potter at Blisisorth, who said that
be reeollsoted the train in which the plaintiff was on the 26th
September. Wilma called out, " Hileworth. Maude hem
for Peterborough and Northampton."
Mr. Hill—lihow the court how you called out.
Porter (tread( his hands to his month, and with the votes
of a etentor)—Chenge bare for Peterborough sad North-
ampton. (Beers of laughter, in which .verybedy but the
portended.) I war mks calling oat. Will swear I called
oat as the morning in questioa.
Mr. Hill—Toe will swear you have sew missed calling
out!

Sir Honmer—Don't mak Min flee, Mr. Hill. A winner
dl
swear, mid swear a little too touch.
Witmer—Them the • " Birmingham" label in the car-
• la w►ieh were plaintiff and his friend.
The mad et the trek deposed that he heard the last wit-
sew eon out.

Mr. Ds Jerry--ffelpposieg plaintiff and his friend did not
brr. you f
Mr. Hill—They might bar bra asleep.
Mr. De Jerry—Then yea ought to have roused them.
Mr. Hill—And if we were to pursue that plan some testy
old gridiron would bring an action against the oonspany for
being dieturbid la seam dream. (Laughter.)
The regalatious of the company were then argued upon,
and a Merge Wm-table produced, price one penny.
Mr. De Jersey—My client is not bound to buy one. Yea
don't
?give books away. Why should he wads through this
book

The porter believed the onclittoom wen up at Bunn
&Wm

Mr. Hill—And they Sr. In the book.
Mr. De Jersey—There are no conditions in the book at the
page where the time and fare are noted, but in another page
are rules and mulattoes, which are no =editions at all.
In answer to Ms Honour, plaintiff told he was la no hurry
at the Nowa Station. He bad tee minutes to spent.
The guard rehearsed that the label " Dirmlngisma" wan posted
right over the compartment in which were_ his plaintiff and
friend. The train stopped lone enough at Dlisworth to allow
an engine and three carriages to shoat as It.
Mr. De heavy—Bofors giving judgment per Honour will
remember that friend is hare, and will corroborate
him in every particular.
Mr. Hill said be had plenty of witnesses to 000Afla the
testimony alread gives on basil of the sonsgany.
Hill Rower o that it was merest that it was
purely a matter of principle on seek side. He bad bean very
oarefully tbrough the orgasay end had emote the uncle-
Mon teat the awn call/agent, "Cheep bunker Peterborough
and Northampton," by dm parter, was not mdielent. Had
the porter put his heed into the wrier end milted our, "Yon
mast change hare far Northampton," the nedicatkin wonkl
then have beim frilly brought under the notice of tbe
tiff. Thecooditions an tho back of the ticket were not =-
lag on plaintiff. Had the company put on the beck dthe
Wort, " Peerages, will have to change at Dilworth," the
company would have been better protected. as the ear stood
it would be a verdict for the plaintiff, with Is. ears strew
Incurred. Costs of attorney allowed.
