waggon coming up with velocity, the shaft ran into the
body of another rd' plaintiffs' horses,' which occasioned
its immediate death. This action was therefore brought
fin• the recovery of the value of said horse, which was
60 guineas.

The evidence produced on the part of the plaintiffs sub—
stantiated the above statement.

Mr. Strjeant LAWNS, for the defendants, argued at
great length on behalf of his clients—the substance
of which went to show that the accident in question was
not occasioned by the carelessness of the defendants' car—
man, who was unable to eontroul his horses when they
had been frightened by some cart passing with great vein—
city. The foflowing witnesses were called to support the
defence.

James Sage deposed to his having been driving the wag-
gon of a Mr. Hoppe, in Bridge-street, at the time of the
transaction in question. He considered the cause of the
accident was owing to a skin-cart passing close to the de-
fendants' waggon with great speed, which frightened the
horses and made them run away. When the horses
were stopped he heard the plaintiffs' carman say,
that it was but an accident, and there was no per-
son deserving of blame, for it could not hare been helped.
James Maynard, the driver of defendants' waggon4atated
that the accident was not occasioned by his neglect. When,
he saw plaintiff's horse fall he went to render his assist-
ance, and plaintiffs' carman said that no fault could be at-,
tributed to any person, for it was but a mere accident.
Thomas Webster was passing by at the time the tran-
saction occurred, and said it was a waggon belonging to a
Mr. West and Freeman which started off first, and which
occasioned the other waggons following it to run away also.
William Bitton saw the transaction. Heard the plain-
tiff's carman say that no blame could be given to any per-
son, for the accident could not have been helped,
Mr. Henry Cumming and Mr. James Taylor stated
they were clerks in defendants' counting-house ; heard the
plaintiffs' carman say in the office, that while he was
walking beside his hones, he heard a noise behind him,
which caused him to turn round, when his horses . made
off, and that no person could be blamed for the accident.

Mr. Serjeant *WILDE. again addressed the Jury for the
plaintiffs, in the course of which he argued that it was
entirely owing to the carman of the defendants'; which oc-
casioned the accident.

The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Di-
mages, 68!.
