This was the plaintiff's cue.
The Chief Juntas : It is not a very creditable matter on
the part of the company, but I suppose I mut not say any-
thing about that ; you have not, however, carried the case
tar enough ; you bate not shown that the portmanteau was
is the vestibule, or deposited subsequently in the train. We
must have the same evideace against • railway company as

witness Doyle another question.

the prespeutton in this car, and the evidence that was addueed
is support of it, that the prisoner and the unfortunate de-
emed were both beershop-kespen residing near to rah other
at Bethnal-green, and it would seem that there bad been a
little ill-feeling between them on account of a benefit

were both numbers, having held its meetings at the
