I Jam,* 11.1(4, was summoned beirresiirTEurchstni for
unlawfully getting out of a carriage on the South Eastern
Railway at London-bridge while the train was in motion,
thereby endangering his own life and the lives of others.
Mr. Albert Lewis, %elicitor for the law officer of the
company, attended to prosecute k and Mr. Ribten for
the defendant, who pleaded not guilty.
Joseph Stevens, an inspector in the service of the
company, said that about half-past 9 on the night of
the :kith of May he was on duty on the platform of the
North Kent Railway at London-bridge, when he saw
the train aoming in from Strood. Before the train stopped
he saw one of the doors opened, and the defendant got out.
In doing so he was thrown down, and his legs fell between
the platform and the carriages. With a great deal of
iiiiticulty they pulled him up. Witness considered that
his life was in danger.
One of the porters corroborated witness's testimony,
and said he was six or seven yards from the train when it
was coming in, and he distinctly saw the defendant jump
out while going six or seven miles an hour. When they
picked him up he abused tLe inspector and all who had
assisted him.

Fot the defence the defendant was called and sworn.
He said that the train haul stopped when be opened the
door, and as be wee in the act of getting out it went on,
and be well whirled across the platform and Tory much in-
jured. He contended that it was all the f.cult of the com-
pany's servants, who knocked him about and grossly in-
sulted him. He had his wife and children with him, and
was about to take hold of oue when he was thrown on the
platform.
Btucbam, after hearing further evidence on behalf
of the company, said than there could not be a question
about it that the defendant opened the doorand got out
of the carriage while the train was in motion. He had
haul a very narrow escape with his life, and be hoped it
wonldbe a caution to kiln for the future. He must,
however, lay a fine of Hoc awl cos's.
