QUEEN'S BENCH.

Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Justices Cromp-
ton, Blackburn, and Mellor.)

Mr Digby Seymour, Q.C., occupied the court some time
this morning with an application for a new trial in a
case which had been heard by Justice Blackburn
last term. The action was brought by the:; mother of a
boy who had entered the service of the defendant, who
was a carpenter, and the proprietor of some very ex-
tensive sawing machinery. The mother stipulated when
the boy first entered the service that he should not
be called upon to attend or go near the machinery.
This was agreed to, and the boy for some months
was engaged in running errands and other trifling matters.
After he had been so engaged for nearly 12 months, ho was
one day attending to a certain portion of the machinery,
and in endeavouring to remove some obstruction from
it while in motion his arm was unfortunately Brawn into it,
and so severely injured that amputation became necessary.
The mother brought her action, and ample damages were
awarded, but it was now sought to set aside the verdict by
a new trial.
The Court was of opinion that the mother was wise in
her stipulation that her son should not go near the machi-
nery ; but as he had, and that with the knowledge of his
employer, he was responsible for the consequences, and
therefore the previous verdict must stand.

DIVORCE COURT.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
CHETWYND V. CHETWYND.

said ho would comply with his lordship's order, and pay the
costs according to his decree.
