Western Company, on the 28th of October, to ascertain
the nature of the injuries sustained by these persons. On
that occasion he saw the woman, and on being admitted
to hz r apartment he found her in bed, and, on being
qu ~,,,';oned, she attributed her illness to the accident she
said she met with in the train; her account to him was,
that within twenty-four hours after the accident she had
a miscarriage, and that in a day or two afterwards she
had prolapsus uteri. The witness also had an interview
with the man, who described himself as her brother, and
who stated that he was in the same carriage with her,
and that he was thrown with much violence from one
side to the other of the carriage,bthat it produced he-
morrhage of an alarming nature, and from which, he
added, he was still suffering.
Mr. Clarkson further stated in the course of his appli-
cation that he should, on the examination of those
charged with the offence, be enabled to produce a wit-
ness whom the accused had employed to substantiate
their written statements of the alleged accidents, as
transmitted by them to the company when they applied
for compensation. This witness would state that he
was induced to act as he did by the accused, although he
knew nothing of the accident; and that he did it under
an erroneous notion, conceiving, at the time, that it was
a mere matter of form required by the company before
they adjusted the affair with those to whom they in-
tended to grant compensation. The Learned Counsel
concluded by remarking, that in order to bring those
guilty to justice, and to prevent in future any attempt to
practise such gross frauds on the railway company, who
were always ready to come forward and remunerate
those who, through the negligence or carelessness of
those in their employ, met with accidents, they (the
company) had considered it incumbent upon them to
adopt the necessary proceedings for checking it.
Mr. CorriNcHam at once complied with the Learned
Counsel's application; and warrants were accordingly
granted which were placed in the hands of Murray, one
of the summoning officers of the court.
