from Ellin on the day in question, nod had not
stopped any where ; was driving at the rate of
about ass miles an hour: came up Piccadilly on the
left side of the street, and on turtling into Coven-
try-street there was a hackney coach on his right
hand apparently crossing the Circus. Witness was
at this time half-way across the Circus ; the first
witness saw of the gig was when it was miming the
Circus at the head of the hackney coach-horses ; at
this time his horses might be four or five yards from
the Plaintiff's horse, Witness immediately pulled
up with all his strength ; had he not done so his
pole must have come against the Plaintiff's horse,
and have driven him under the hackney-coach, but
all his exertions could not prevent his pole striking
the gig just above the wheel, under the elbow, and
raising the carriage up, threw it over. Witness im-
mediately stood still till he saw the Plaintiff's
horse turning round sad plungitig the shafts of the
chaise towards the pantie! of the carriage. Witness
then pulled in a few yards to get out of danger.
Mr. Waite asked whose carriage it was, mud Mr.
Petceval told him.
Cross-examined.—Witness did not hear Plaintiff
ask the footman whose carriage it was, and the foot-
man say " I don't know." Wittiest bad no inten-
tion to go sway, and stopped of hie own accord.
The carriage had come from Ealing with three
young ladies in it, Mr. Perceval and witness on the
box, and the footman behind, sod the carriage it.

Mr. John Thomas Perceval, son of Lady Carr,
corroborated the testimony of the last witness.
William Sloper, Lady Carr's footman, eves sit-
ting in the dickey behind the carriage, and corro-
borated the testimotly of the former wit , and
was never asked to whom the carriage belonged.
Mr. GURNRY replied, and contended. that not-
withstanding all which had been said by his Learn-
ed Friend, he was entitled to a verdict, since by his
own 'hewing the coachman «as on the wrong side
of she way.
The CHIRP JUSTIVR dimmed up. and the Jury
retired, and after being nut near au hour, returned
