LIABILITY OF RAILWAY COMPANIES FOR ACClDerha
THEIR OWN SERVANTS..--In the court of ExchecKA
Friday, was tried the case of Skipp v. the Eastern ;op
Railway Company. It was an action for damages f°„ of
sustained by the plaintiff through the negligence
defendants. Mr. James, for the plaintiff, said tOO
question was important, being whether a railway effe ct
was liable, under such circumstances, for injury su 01'4,
their own servant when performing his duty in their tK,
The plaintiff was guard to a luggage train which le pro
don on the Ist of June, 1852. On arriving at Lea si
station he found that there were 42 trucks on
which were to be linked on to his train and taken tol
se7
There was no porter or other person to assist him i'l3,AO
and linking these trucks, so as to set off before the riff
a passenger train, and the plaintiff, in his anxiety
the work and to avoid a collision or stoppage, I°l'oo'oo
under the wheel of -the engine and his arm severe(ls,loo jo
body. For this injury he claimed compensation. that «g 1
was obviously varied in its circumstances fig:4°, 30 Pd
domestic servant, as he (Mr. James) submitted that jev,ll
company, having servants who must encounter
,412
duties, were bound to provide a sufficient staff and 0411
assistants, as accidents must occur where either tiled, 001
or its servants discharge their duties inefficiently d s 9 8 e
call the plaintiff and another man who had aeteol9
to a goods train, and the jury would find that, 0,0 ea
assistance at Lea Bridge station, fears were ahltio
tanned of being overtaken by a passenger 00a0
there were many trucks to be linked to the g thear /
.
The consequence was, that the guards had to use
est activity in shifting and linking of the trucks ; this ib~
frequently slipped, or were thrown down, as in is
by the weight of the extra trucks. Repeated reP 00 cef
difficulties had been made to the manager, but4ent,,:atte!
was given to them, nor was any assistance ever the
now and then, when a porter would come fr(4ll the 00"
ham station. The evidence haying corroborated
meat of counsel, Mr. Baron Martin said there tie
r'OOC
to go to the jury, and went on to say thatioich.to
company was not responsible for any accidenedloooF
befall their servants. If a servant was dissatigi „e
with so ino r
employment, or if he found it attended it
as to render him fearful of the consequenees!,t . the
fectly competent in him to quit the employ
pany did not compel him to remain in theithoug.uLy
