COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GiunowiLL,
Slosoi,i, OCTOBER 20.

Before the LORD CIDIDI JUSTItI and Common Juries.

PEARSON V. t. AND G. HOLDEN.

dome, who are proprietors, of the Mitcham coach,
for an injury received by him in rouse/Insure of the
furious driving of die Defendstite coachman. The
Plaintiff was returning to town in the evetung
the 4lst of February lost, in a one-horse chaise,
with his wife and grandchild, and hod arrived omit
the foot of Londost.bridge, when he perceived two
►tage-cosehea, each with four horses, coming al.stig
so furiously over the bridge, that apprehending
danger, he drew tip close to the curb-stone : the
first couch tressed with great rapitliLy without doing
hum any injury, but the second, which was the
coda of the Defendants, struck the wheel of the
Plaintiff's gig, and overturned it ; the horse yeti
also thrown down, and the shafts breaking, he be.
came frightened, said on rising, ran sway to the
middle of Loudon-bridge, and there fell and broke
his bock bone. The Plaintiff, his wife, and grand-
child, were thrown out, and the Plointill was con.
siderably injured ; the two latter escaped with coin.
parstivrly little &usage. He (Mr. Scarlelt) under.
stood the defence meant to he art up was, that this
damage was not done by the Defendants' coach ;
but on this point he had ►uch evidence to produce,
that he thought no doubt would remain aim the
minds of the Jury. The Learned Counsel then
called—

John Watts Cooper, who stated that in the even-
ing of 21st February last I was on the Borough
side of London Bridge about seven o'clock ; I saw
two coaches driving furiously from the Bridge
towards the Borough ; I saw a one-horse chaise
pulled up close to the curb-stone near a public
house; I sow the second coach ran against the
chaise, and throw the horse down; he struggled,
broke the ►hafts, and ran away ; the gentleman, the
lady, and child were thrown tutu the carriage road;
I assisted the gentleman up; he was bleeding pro-
fusely et the nose, and complained mach of hia
shoulder.

Captain Crowther, of the East India Company's
service. observed the two coaches driving at a filflOUS
rate; I watched them, suspecting they could not
stop themselves, and immediately sew a horse with
part of the harness running up the bridge. The
last couch was a red-bodied coach.
William Gardner was at the foot of London
bridge on the evening of the accident. The first
was the Wandsworth coach, and the lust was the
Mitcham coach. They were driving very furiously.
The colour of the coach was red.
Samuel Daniels was talkiug with the lest whiten
et the foot of London bridge. The last coach was
a red-bodied couch, and had the mime of Holden
just under the window. Hi stiettlit coach strike
the chaise, and was quite positive that was the
coach that did the injury.
William Peerse saw the two coaches start from
Gracechurch-street. The Wandsworth coach took
the lead ; it was ■ few minutes past seven o'clock,
and was sure the last coach was the Defendants.
Mr. Brookes, surgeon. proved the injury the
Plaintiff had received. He had ■ severe cut over
the rye; his shoulder muck bruised; and three of •
his ribs also much bruised. Witness attended him
• for a month; he was confined to his bed ten days
or a fortnight. His bill was six guineas. The
Plaintiff ta a men advanced in life. shout Go years •
of age. He will perhaps never quite recover the
use of it.

Mr. GURNRY, for the Defendants, thought he
had • body of evidence to produce which would
completely alter the case which the Jury had heard,
and which could .not be encountered by the evi.
dente for the Plaintiff. He would bring all the
passengers, both inside and oat, who would tell
the Jury that ten end. accident bapp•ued by the
Defendants' coach, but that they braid the crash
after the couch had passed. The Learned Counsel
then called

Peter Faro, who stated, that lie was a passenger
with his wife in the dicky behind, iii the Mitcham
coach. It starred at the nos of about But wiles an
hone. When the coach had passed brink° b►idge
he heard a crash shoot 20 yards behind, and saw
that a ehai-e had broken down close by an errand
cart. B•fore that he had not felt the slightest
runt ion as if any thing had hers toss against.
Cross-examined by Mr. SC ARL FTT.--When he
looked back he saw an coach bet I.

Charlotte Faro corroborated the testimony of the
last witness.

East India House, wits sii outside passenger on the

ponies.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICR Mkt that from his
evidence alone he should have concluded that the
Defendants' coach had doom the mischief; he had
no doubt these witnesses meant to speak the truth.
and not observing the accident, and not feeling say
shock, they thought it had not been dour by that
coach ; but loe put it to Mr. Gurney whether he
was Dot proving the same thing which the Plain-
tiff's witnesses had hero proving.
The Joey concurring in the opinion of his Lord.
►hip, immediately found a verdict for the Plaintiff
