COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice
WILLIAMS and a Common Jury.)
JONES V. IslLEsom.
This was a running down case, part heard yesterday,
in which the plaintiff sought to rccovsr compensation
for a serious injury he had sustained by being thrown
out of a chaise, through the alleged careless driving of
the defendant's servant.

Mr. Sergeant By les and Mr. Miller appeared for the
plaintiff; and Mr. Hawkins represented the defendant.
The plaintiff, Mr. Jones, is a compositor in the office
of the Dispakh, residing in Clerkenwell; and the de-
fendants are lime merchants in a large way of business.
It appeared that Mr. England, a gentleman also
connected with the Dispatch, was on the 21st August last
the occasion in question, driving a four-wheeled chaise,
drawn by one horse, down to 'Woodford to see his child-
ren, who were staying there. He took three or four
friends along with him, one of whom was the plaintiff,
Mr. Jones. They were proceeding at a pace about six
miles an hour, and had reached a bridge situate between
Bow Church and the Bird-in-hand public-house, and
were descending a declivity after crossing the bridge,
when the driver of a lime-waggon belonging
to the defendants going in the same di-
ection, suddenly, as was alleged, whisked his horses
across the road, which resulted in a collision with tho
chaise in which Mr. England and his friends were tra—
velling, and the consequence was that Mr. Jones, the
plaintiff, was thrown out, and had- three of his ribs and
his collar bone broken, and his shoulder blade fractured.
He was afterwards confined to bed for three weeks, and
unable to follow his calling fcr four months. It was
proved that the plaintiff's salary was 51. a week, and
that while he was laid up by the injuries he had received
he had to employ people to perform his work. His
medical bill was 8/. odd; and the action was now brought
to recover compensation for the pain and agony which
he had suffered, for the loss of his time and salary, and
for the medical expense he had been put to.
There was the usual amount of conflicting evidence,
which it would be useless to give in dttail ; suffice it to
say, that the witnesses of each of the litigants imputed
the blame to the other.

Mr. Justice WILLIAMS, in summing up the case, told
the jury that the question was whether the accident wag
owing to any misconduct on the part of the defendants
or their servant. He could not help remarking that the
man who drove the lime waggon had not been called,
which was singular, inasmuch as he might have thrown
some light upon the cause of accident. Assuming that
the plaintiff was entitled to recover, with respect to the
question of damages, the jury would say what they
thought was a reasonable amount of money to compen-
sate the plaintiff for the bodily suffering be had endured,
and also for the loss of the money which he would have
earned if ho had not sustained the injury in question.
The jury retired to consider their verdict, and on
their return, at half-past one o'clock, gave a verdict for
the plaintiff, damages 1501.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DA►Y)•

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)

A PETTY CARE—PRATT V. PROCTOR.
This was an action to recover the small sum of
21. OS. 9d. for goods sold.

The Plaintiff's Attorney stated the case, and said that
he had subpcenaed a witness, who however did not ar,
pear, and would be called cn his subpcena; and he (the
Attorney) would give evidence, and prove an admission-
The UNDER-SHERIFF said it was a most inconvenient
course for the witness to get into the box, and no one
present to examine him.
The ATTORNEY said, all he had got to say was that
defendant had admitted the debt, and only said that it
was a case which ought to have been taken into the
County Court. _ .

Till; UNDER-SHERIFF said, all that the jury bad lc"
do was, to find for the amount claimed, if they believed
the evidence of the witness, which he saw no reason
doubt. They had nothing to do with the question as t'
which Court it was brought into.
The jury gave a verdict of 2/. Os. 9d.
AIRMAN V. GLOVER.

This was an action to recover of the defendant, am
auctioneer, at Swansea, the sum of 16/. ls. 3d., the ba-,
lance of an account for money had and received on sal 0
of some property.
An account was put in, in which tho defendant a
mitted the above sum to be due, and a verdict was giv eD
for the amount.
The other cases were devoid of interest.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.)
The Court sat to' day to try the prisoners who were, lit
large on bail.
William Collins, Maurice Foley, and Richard Wre mehl
labourers, were indicted for assaulting a cabman named
Morgan, and Catherine his wife.
It appeared that prosecutor, with his wife and 13er
sister, having been out for a walk, called into ta°
Northampton Arms, at Islington, for refreshment, w h ere
they found the prisoners, who accosted the prosecu tor
rudely, then challenged him to " toss" for beer, :and
then knocked him down and kicked him. His wife at,
tempted to extricate him, when Collins, seizing a pie r„°
of board, struck her with it on the head. The worral'
fell, and one or more of the prisoners kicked her in the
head and face.

The jury found Collins and Wrench Guilty, and A°.
quitted Foley.

The JUDGE sentenced them to one month's ireprifk°/1-
ment, with hard labour.

This closed the business of the session.
