HOME CIRCUIT.--LEWES, March 27.
CIVIL SIDE.

(Before Mr. Justice Wight-Inali and Special Juries.)
'WILLIAMSON V. THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON
RAILWAY COMPANY.-THE CLAYTON TUNNEL
ACCIDENT.
The circumstances ender which this action was
brought were given in yesterday's paper. Serjcant
Slam and Mr. B. Rigby appeared for the plaintiff.
The plaintiff was 23 years of age, and obtained
his livelihood as a pianoforte tuner, earning, accord-
ing to his own statement, between £2 and £3 a
week. The company paid £4OO into court, consider-
ing that this was a sufficient amount of compensa-
tion for the injuries that the plaintiff had received.
Daring the progress of the trial it appeared that
an offer was made by Mr. Bovill to give the plain-
tiff £lOO in addition to the sum paid into court,
and, eventually, this offer was increased to £l5O.
The counsel for the plaintiff, however, refused to
accept the offer, and the cause, consequently pro-
ceeded.

Mr. Bovill, in his address to the jury for the
company, repeated what he had stated in reference
to the other cases that had been disposed of, that
the directors were most desirous to give ample com-
pensation to every person who had received injury
by this unfortunate calamity, but they were deter-
mined to resist imposition, and considered that in
the present case the sum of £4OO paid into court was
an ample amount to be paid to the plaintiff for
the injuries he had sustained. He then called the
attention of the jury to the facts, and observed that
the plaintiff was a very young man, whe could not
earn more than between £2 and £3 a week, and
that the injuries he had sustained were really not
of a serious character, and that there was very little
doubt that with a few months rest. which the sum
mentioned would afford him an ample opportunity
for enjoying, he would be perfectly recovered.
The learned Judge having summed up, the jury,
after a very brief deliberation, expressed their opi-
nion that the sum paid into court was sufficient com-
pensation for the injury the plaintiff had received.
This verdict was tantamount to a verdict for the
defendant, and the whole of the costs of the action
will consequently have to be borne by the plaintiff.
WHEELED., ADMINISTRATRIX, V. THE LONDON AND
BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY.
This was another action of the same description.
Sergeant Shee and Mr. Garth were counsel for 'the
plaintiff; Mr. Bovill, Q.C., the Hon. G. Denman,
Q.C., and Mr. Ffannen represented the company,
who paid £l,OOO into court.
Sergeant Shee, in addressing the jury, said that,
among the numerous calamities that occurred in the
Clayton-tunnel on August 25th, none was more
melancholy than that which they were about to in-
quire into. The plaintiff was a young woman in a
humble condition of life, a domestic servant, and
she brought the present action to recover compen-
sation for the loss of her father and mother, both of
whom, with an infant, were killed upon the spot
when the dreadful collision took place, leaving the
plaintiff and eight other children orphans. He felt
it was right that he should state to them that it ap-
peared to him that the company had acted with the
utmost consideration for these poor children, and
had done everything that could reasonably be ex-
pected of them to alleviate the misery and distress
into which they had been plunged by this unhappy
calamity. They had paid £lOOO into court, and they
had since agreed to pay a further sum of £5O ; and
he considered it his duty also to state that imm2-
diately after the accident the company offered to
provide a home and education suitable to the condi-
tion in life of the younger children until they should
be of sufficient age to earn their own livelihood, and
also when that period arrived to obtain a respect-
able mode of livelihood for them. It was not consi-
dered advisable to accept WI; offer, and the com-
pany then consented to give the family £l,OOO, and
they now agreed to give .E5O in addition, and would
also pay the whole of the plaintiff's costs. The
learned sergeant then explained that although it
would not be necessary to go into the case, a duty
was cast upon the jury to apportion the amounts
that should be given to each of the children, and he
said he should put them in possession of the neces-
sary information to enable them to do so.

Jane Wheeler, the plaintiff, having been exa-
mined, and
Mr. Bovill having addressed the jury, they after
a short deliberation apportioned the amount among
the children as follows :—To plaintiff, £250 ; to
Joseph, £3O ' • to Lydia, .£71); Charles, £l5O ;
£150; Elizabeth, £200; and Charlotte, £2OO.
No portion of the money was allotted to John or
Mary Anne, as they appeared to be in a condition
to earn their own

PARKER, ADMINISTRATRIX, AND PARKER V. THE
BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY.

Mr. Lusb, Q.C., and Mr. T. Chitty appeared for
the plaintiffs in these actions, which also arose out
of the same fatal accident.

The company had paid £4OO into court, in refer-
ence to both actions, and they now consented to give
a further-sum of £lOO, which was accepted by -the
plaintiffs, and nominal verdicts were consequently
taken.
