BEHR:WAN AND WITS r. Till eststten RAILWAY cntrtat
This was an action to recover damages for injuries as,
tamed by the female plaintiff in a collision which Is*
pened at Colney.hatch on the 30th August last. The 4.
fendants paid 100 guineas into court, and the only quails
was whether this was sufficient compensation.
Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. G. E. Clark
for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Sevin, Q.C., and Mr. ;Vie
the defendants.
The plaintiff, Mr. Bridgman, was a working man in lbs
employ of a wbarfinger who has premises neassWatetioe
bridge, and his wife was a young woman 2i yeas of y%
On the 26th August last Mrs. Bridgman and ha
mother, Mrs. Stubbs, went by excursion train to Notes&
ham, and returned on the 30th August. At Colney-kasit
the train ran into some trucks which had been left um
the line, and the consequence was a very serious secidest.
Mrs. Bridgman was thrown down, and having been ha pal
out of the train she was taken home in a cab. She did so
consult a medical man for three or four days, but at the
end of that time she procured some physic. She, hoverer,
got worse, and was placed under the care of Mr. Adam,
who found that she was seriously hurt. She was in heel
for six weeks, and afterwards was taken to Kingston sad
remained there five weeks. She did not recover, and wha
she returned she suffered from weakness in the legs sad
was unable to get out until March ; and down to the Fs.
sent time she suffered a good deal. The fees of Mr. At.
kinson and of other medical men who had been called It
with the view of giving evidence against the company's
doctors amounted altogether to 1151., and of course oiler
expenses were incurred.
Mrs. Bridgman was called. She got into the box skis
difficulty, and was accommodated with a seat when as
got there. She seemed to be in a very bad state of heal*
and was so overcome that at the suggestion of the *se
she was not questioned.
Mr. Atkinson described the symptoms, and ennead
his opinion that Mrs. Bridgman had sustained cowman
of the spine, and be feared that paralysis would set is.
She was better than she had been, but he believed that he
should have to attend her for several months yet.
Dr. Travers was also called, and he said that be keel
that Mrs. Bridgman would recover in lit months or tem
years, but he could not say that she would.
At this stage of the proceedings an arrangement ea
come to, and a verdict was taken by consent for 2000
beyond the ram paid into court.
A similar verdict was taken in an action brought by
Mrs. Stubbs against the company.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
Sittings at Nisi Prins at Westminster.— (Before Mr. Bird
Martin and a Special Jury.)
TRENTANOVE r. BOUCICAI LT.
This was an action to recover a sum of money for two
busts.
Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. D. Browne were for tbs
plaintiff ; Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., and Mr. Holl for the de.
fendant.
The plaintiff was a sculptor in Wimpole-sheet, and the
defendant the well-known dramatic author. In MO
Mr. Boncicault called upon the plaintiff and employedlia
to makes bust of himself and wife. Both busts were to beef
marble, and the price of each was to be 50 guineas. Several
sittings were given, and then they were suspended in cm.
sequence of Mr. Boucicault going to Paris. There wereothse
sittings on his return, but they were again stopped sad
the bust never reached completion. Subeequently
llt
Beucicault became a bankrupt, and had received
his discharge. Before that event he had pail
the plaintiff 50/. on account, but no more moneyhavingbed
received by the plaintiff he brought his action. It sr
peered that it was the custom amongst sculptors to re.
quire half-payment as soon as the busts had been taken a
in clay, and the amount now sought to be recovered ins
the difference between half the awn agreed urn, enl
the 501. which had been received.
After the case had been opened,
Mr. Baron Martin said the plaintiff and defendant wee
both eminent in their respective professions, and it woad
be well if they could come to some arrangement.
Upon this suggestion a consultation took plax, and 4
was ultimately agreed that the matter should be referred
to Mr. Foley, the sculptor, to say whet sum should,
paid, and the learned Judge underteok, in the event a
any question arising under the defendant's bankrupts:le
which had been pleaded, to decide it, one of the jungle
counsel to state the facts bearing upon the point.

that a certain packet of letters, which were full of the
most horrible obscenity, and which were alleged to liar

fact forgeries.
Sir J. Wilde, however, stated that sufficient opportunity
had been afforded the respondents for maturing ties
