I and as be was alighting after the train had stopped there
was, according to his account, • sudden jerk forward,
which threw Mm off his feet, end by the fall he sustained
certain injuries. The ease on hie part was that some of
the carriages stopped short of the pletform, and that in
order to bring them up to it the train moved on while pas-
sengers were getting out. The plaintiff denied that he
wee drank at the time, but he admitted that ea a former
occasion the inspector had made a complaint against him
for alighting while the train wee in motion. A
woman who nearly met with a similar accident at the same
time, but wee caught by a porter as she was in the act of
getting out, and who was called to corroborate the plain-
tiff, said that she thought the train had stopped, bat ad-
mitted that she was not sure about it. On the other side,
the station-master said be had known the plaintiff for a
number of yore, and had seen him several timee in •
