Docks, who saw the occurrence, stated in his opinion
the Indian was so near the docks that any endeavour
to pass between her and the pier would have been ex-
ceedingly dangerous, and that the captain of the
steamer, in making the attempt, was guilty of neg-
ligence.

The jury, therefore, without requiring the learned
judge to sum up, returned a verdict for the plaintiff,
1001. damages.
