EXCHEQUER.—(THIs DAY)
FOWLES V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY CODIPANY.
This action was tried at the last Bristol Assizes, hetore
Lord Campbell,
count, with
whenbell, a verdict was found for the plaintiff
on
45/, damages, and for the defen-
dants on the other counts.
Mr. BUTT now moved for a rule to enter a verdict for
the defendants on the first count, and, if necessary, for a
for
newntergilailg.en'e fehienaction was brought to recover damages
stantaneous lig the carriage of a magic-lantern, an in-
ht apparatus, and other articles, which
were entrusted to the Great-Western Railway, to be
conveyed from Bristol to Montpellier-place, Brompton.
The principal pleas denied that the goods were deli-
vered to the company by the plaintiff on the terms stated
in the declaration, viz., to he delivered at Brompton, and
set out that the conditions respecting the conveyance of
glass had not been complied with. In order to prove the
plaintiff's case, the receipt given for the goods at Bristol
was put in, which, among other conditions, stated that
the company would not be liable for any injury to glass
when the value exceeded 101., and that no claim for
damage would bo allowed unless made within
three days after the delivery of the goods. On
the plaintiff's packages arriving at the Pad-
dington station they were delivered to Sherman,
a carrier, who was employed by the company to con-
vey goods when their destination was beyond the limits
of the company's liability. Ile took them to Montpellier-
place, and the box containing the magic-lantern and
apparatus was thrown rather violently on the ground,
and the contents injured, Brompton it appeared was
beyond the jurisdiction of the company in regard to
liability, and the tenth regulation, printed on the back of
the receipt, stated that if the company received goods to
be conveyed beyond their jurisdiction, they would make
the additional Charge, but would not be answerable for
them after they passed from their hands. The Learned
Counsel contended that the company having charged an
extra sum of 10d. for this extra carriage, they were not
liable for the injury sustained by the plaintiff as stated
above. It appeared that the plaintiff applied to the
company for compensation, and was told that they were
not liable, but onreprteosengteint representing that

c
manufacturer at Bristol, hut were not completed for
some time, and the plaintiff made a claim of 7001. or
8001., which the company refused to pay. Mr. llutt
submitted in conclusion that the company had only
contrected to convey the goods to Paddiegton' and then
to deliver them to a sub-carrier, and also that the condi-
tions stated in the receipt were part of the cantract,
The Court granted a rule g,,fterally.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
BARDELL v. WOOLFE.
This action was tn ought to recover the balance of an
account. The plaintiff and defendant were horse-
dealers, and the maim arose out of certain transactions
connected with the sale of horses. In the course of the
trial they were both evimined, in accordance with the
provisions of Lord Campbell's Act, and having sworn
direcrly opposite to each other, the question resolved
itself into one of crenibility.
On the conclusion of the summing up the jury, With'
out a moment's consideration, returned a verdict for the
plaintiff for the full amount claimed.
