LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
After Turn Nisi Prins Sittings Westminster.--(Before the
load Chief Justice and a Special Jury.)
ettal.o e. sirs LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY.
This WM an action to recover compensation fur injuries
resived by the plaintiff's wife through the alleged negli-
,,,sot of the defendants' servants. The defendants pleaded
Tiet FujitP
at, gerjeant Ballantine and Mr. Hull were counsel for
the plaintiff ; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Hannan were
counsel for the defendants.
The plaintiff was formerly in the merchant service and
about two years ago he took a house and 20 acres of dairy
land, oiled the Oaks, at Halcomb, Sussex, and where he
was raiding at the tune of the accident. The wife was
• booby person, of active habits. On the 20th of
Fibtuaty, 1865, Mrs. Shelley went to Brighton, where
they also had a residence. The train arrived at
pest 3 o'clock in the afternoon and stopped
Aloft of the platform with the carriage in which
yrs Shelley was riding. It had been snowing, the
weeder was dull, and it was getting dusk. On the arrival
of the train, the porters called out Brighton," and one of
them opened the door, and then went forward. After
motateg a little time, and no one coming to assist her
with her luggage, she proceeded to alight, as she sup-
...ed, on the platform, instead of which she fell down
;Aelith of 1 foot 8 inches on a turn-table. She fell on a

Let ; har chest, aide, and hip were muc bruised, and
der person very severely shaken. She screamed out, when
myttil porters came to her, and assisted her into
the waiting-room, where she was seen by a surgeon,
and afterwards conveyed in the oompany'a invalid car-
riage to her residence at Brighton. She was unable
to get upstairs, and the dining-rooms bad to
be appropriated to her use, one of them being
toted into a bedroom. She kept her bed from the
.20th February until the 30th March, and she was confined
to the house for a period of another two months, She was
saw suffering great pain in the side, numbness of the
wine and top of the head, giddiness, palpitation, and
prolapsus. There was now, after a period of eighteen
months, a great want of power in the left arm and leg; her
left thanwas at one time 14 or 15 degrees lower in tempera.
tare the right, and it was now -between seven or eight
degrees lower.
are. Shelley, who stated she was 57 years of age, gave
her statement of what happened, and appeared now to be
suffering severely from the effects of the accident.
The plaintiff's husband was called, and said his wife
before the accident was a strong healthy woman ; now she
was a wreck. She used to accompany him for three or four
hours' shooting. She was now unable to walk shout 100
yards, and frequently fell down.
Dr. Samuel Barker, of Brighton, considered she was
worse now than when the accident occurred, and the in-
juries were likely to be permanent. She was a very active
yeoman before the accident, and was able to run up a flight
of stairs with ease.
Dr. Capp gave evidence as to the seriousness of the
injuries.
Dr. Hancock, of Charing-cross Hospital, expressed his
opinion that she would never be the same woman she
was before the accident happened.
A witness was called who stated that the turn-table
was in the middle of the platform.
This was the plaintiff's case.
The defendants called no witnesses, though she had been
on several occasions examined by eminent medical men
on behalf of the company.
Mr. Hawkir.s addressed the jury in mitigation of
damages, contending that there was no negligence on the
part of the company in the formation of the platform ;
and that unless the jury were of opinion she had exhibited
proper care and caution, the plaintiff was not entitled to
recover. She had ample time for seeing, before she
stepped out, that there was a break in the platform oppo-
site the carriage. She ought to have used more caution,
sad the company were not liable for her neglect.
The Lord Chief Jostice in summing up said there could
be no doubt this lady had met with a moat calamitous
accident, but the defendants were not liable unless blame
could be legally imputed to them. The question was
whether it was right for the company to allow the door to
be opened and invite persons to step out.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1,8001.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
Sittings at Nisi Prius in Middlesex.—(Before Lord Chief
Justice Bovill and a Special Jury.)

STOKES r. KLI.LoCK.
This case was partly heard yesterday. It was an action
for malicious prosecution in summoning the plaintiff, a
surgeon-dentist, iu Brook-street, Grosvenor-square, before
a magistrate at Marlborough-street, on a charge of steal-
ing some coals from the cellar of the defendant, Miss
Kellock, who rented the upper part of his house.
Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and lffr. M'lntyre appeared for
the plaintiff ; and Mr. D. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Philbrick
for the defendant.
At the rising of the court last night, his lordship re-
peated a hint which he had previously given of the prim-
dines of coming to an amicable arrangement by saying
that the interregnum would afford the parties another op-
portunity of " imparting." Consequently, this morning, a
consultation took place between the counsel, which,
after some time, resulted in a settlement being arrived at.
Mr. Kamm said—Gentlemen of the jury, his lordship
was kind enough, when we were leaving the court last
night, to make a suggestion which, though conveyed in a
jocular way, was, like moat of the suggestions that come
from the bench, full of deep meaning, and, in this case, of
benevolence towards the parties. My learned friend and
myself have also had the advantage of hearing the sug-
gestion repeated this morning, and we have taken the
matter well into our consideration. I always was
of opinion, and Miss Kellock is of that opinion
now, that there never was the slightest pre-
tence for charging Mr. Stokes with any desire to
do anything fraudulent or felonious. I cannot help
saying that Mr. Stokes's character, so far as I know, and
so far as I am informed of it, would of itself have given
a complete negative to any person knowing him of any
such charge ; and both I and Miss Kellock desire that
he should go forth from this court with his character
in no way impeached. His whole course of conduct
shows that not only is he free from any act
of the kind which has been suggested, but also from any
desire to do any act of the kind having passed through his
mind. Thereforehegoesfrom this court by the voice of Miss
Kellock, and also that of her counsel, honourably acquitted
sad respectfully apologised to. We have arranged that
you should give Twir verdict for the plaintiff for
M. and the remainder of the arrangement will
be 'between ourselves, but that verdict will be
an answer to any ill-natured stranger to Mr. Stokes
who would take up the report in the newspapers and
venture to speak disrespectfully of Mr. Stokes or his family.
There is a matter also that is personal to myself. I and my
friend Mr. Serjeant Ballantine are friends of thirty-one
years' standing, and I should be extremely sorry if any-
thing I have said in this case should cause anybody to
think that there has been any interruption in that
friendship.
Mr. Serjeant Ballantine— I am extremely glad that this
conclusion has been arrived at. I have myself known Mr.
Stokes for a great number of years, and my learned friend
has only done justice to him in the account which he has
given of his character. His object in taking these pro-
ceedings is not money, but to place himself thoroughly
right before the public, before whom these injurious asser-
tions have been made. As to matter personal to myself, I
ma happy to know that there is no interruption of Mr.
Keaue's friendship for myself, and I know this not only
from what he has said to my face, but from what he has
said behind my back.
Lord Chief Justice Bovill—This, gentlemen, is a very
Painful case, and I am glad that by the consent of counsel
on both sides it is settled, and I must say that everyone
who has heard the case must feel that there is not the
slightest imputation upon the character of Mr. Stokes.
The foreman of the jury—Certainly not, my lord.
A verdict was then given for the plaintiff—damages
2001.
