JULY 111 1851.

burn he was always found 300 miles distant—at Sara-
wak, making war on the Dyaks, not putting down pi-
rates.
The evidence adduced did not appear to him
(Mr. C.) to prove that Sir J. Brooke was engaged in
putting down pirates. On the contrary, it showed that
he had been carrying on a war with his next neighbours
—a war of tt rritory, by which he thought he would be
enabled to take possession of his neighbour's lands as
well as those of which he had possessed himself
in Sarawak. The country had a right to ask that
some proof should bo given that these two identical
tribes had ever committed ono act of piracy upon any
European vessel. Tho manner in which this question
was met was a monstrous insult to their un-
derstsnding.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped that whatever
the decision of this House might be, the country
would nut let the question rest where it was. Ile thought
the Hon. Member for Montrose deserved the gratitude
of the civilized world for his attempt to rescue
the country from the stigma that pressed upon it, so long
aN this matter was allowed to remain as it was
(Laughter.) They were disposed to thick no more of
this amount of human life then if it were so many dogs
that were destroyed. And the opponents to this iequiry
head even mixed up in their arguments professions of
religion and Christianity. But did they present them-
selves to the inhabitants of Borneo as Christians and as
followers of the New Testament, which even commanded
them to love their enemies, when they slaughtered 500
unfortunate beings, who had never done them any harm?
If the country had not moral force to insist upon an in-
quiry into this matter, never let them sat themselves up
again as patterns of r,ligion and morality. On the con-
trary, let them at once candidly admit that they had
been guilty of the greatest atrocities upon the coast of
Borneo. _ . . .

Sir F. THESIGER called the attention of the House
to the many proofs contained in the papers before the
House of the tribes of Sambas and Sakarran being pi-
rati s. This question bad been the subject of judicial
inquiry and of judicial determination. In 1844, on a
question arising as to the right of the crew of the Dido
to receive heal-money in respect to an engagement
had under the command of Captain Keppel, the
provisions of the 6th George IV. were discussed,
and the question was whether the tribes of Sakarran
were really pirates or not? The judge who presided on
the occasion was one known for his high intelligence,
and whose feelings would revolt from the bare idea of
oppression or cruelty. The Queen's advocate raised
the question. That learned judge pronounced that the
proof was conclusive. On the 31st July, 1849, the same
question arose before another judge. Deposition after
deposition was produced, which proved clearly and dis-
tinctly that these tribes of Sarebas and Sakarran were
pirates. The decision of the judge proceeded on that
ground, and then the Hon. Member for the West Riding
of Yorkshire appealed to the House for proof of that
important fact.—(Cheers.) He thought that the Hon.
Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire must be
very hard to be satisfied if he did not take these facts as
conclusive of the proof.—(Hear, hear.) He (Sir Fre-
deric Thesiger) rose principally to address himself to a
question raised by the Right Honourable Gentleman the
Member for the University of Oxford (Mr. Gladstone);
and he was anxious that it should not go forth to the
world on the credit of that Right Honourable Gentle-
man's reputation and authority that any doubt could at
all exist with regard to the legality of the proceedings.
The point which the Right Hon. Gentleman had taken
was this, namely, that an Act having passed in 1837
which reduced the punishment for piracy from death to
transportation, that, therefore, it was not lawful to put
these pirates to death unless they had resisted, because
under the second section of the Act it was only in case
of resistance that the parties were liable to capital
punishment; and the Right Hon. Gentleman further
said that although several vessels had been engaged in
tbis enterprise, only a few of. them had made any re-
sistance, and therefore it was not lawful for those en-
gaged in her Majesty's service to do more than capture
the other vessels that were not so actively engaged in
resistance. He (Sir F. Thesiger) should venture to have
thought that, where a number of vessels were engaged
in one common enterprise, and a portion of them had
offered resistance, that that circumstance was quite suf-
ficient to warrant an attack upon the whole of them.—
(Cheers.) He would concede to the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman that, supposing the case was one which came
within the Act of Parliament, it was then. not a lawful
course to pursue. But let them see whether the Right
Honourable Gentleman had not made a mistake upon
this subject. They knew well that not the
law, for there was no law with pirates—(hear)—but the
general rule was, that pirates were the enemies of the
human race—(Hear,f hear)—and might be exterminated
to protect peaceful commerce throughout the world.—
(Hear, hear.) The law in regard to piracy in England
was dependent upon the 6th Geo. IV., which, for the
encouragement of its suppression, gave head money in
respect to every person on board every piratical vessel.
But, said the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Act of 1837
reduced tho punishment from death to transportation.
No doubt it did, but then his Right Hon. Friend must
have perceived from the character of the punishment
that it was not applicable to the Malays and Sakarrans.
—(Loud cries of " Hear, bear.") This Act applied only
to British subjects.—(Cheers.) It would be extraordi-
nary for them to think of transporting the subjects of
another country under the provisions of an En gli. h Act.—
(Laugh ter.) It would be ridiculous for them to attempt to
bring such parties to trial and to transport them beyond
the seas to any place where her Majesty might think fit.
--(Hear.) At that late hour ho world not occupy any
more of the time of the House. He trusted that tbi
unfounded accusation, so pertinaciously and unr,lent-
ingly persevered in, would be at last put an end to by a
triumphant majority that night.—(Cheers.)
Colonel THOMPSON would state the reason why he
would vote for the Hon. Member for Montrose. He no
more believed in Dyak pirates in Borneo than he be-
lieved in dragons in Cappadocia.—(Laughter.) The
evidence adduced was as convincing and overwhelming
on their side as it was possible to adduce. That evidence
might not tell in that House, but it would in the country.
Mr. FORSTER said if these parties were not pirates
he wished to know what they a ere? He held iu his
hand an extract from Lloyd's List, giving the number
of vessels captured or destroyed sinc3 August, 1839, to
February, 1831, upon the coast of Borneo, by which it
appeared that upwards of forty vessels had been sacrificed
by these pirates.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. HUME, in reply, denied the accuracy of the
statement, and declared that he could adduce the most
unanswerable evidence (if this inquiry were granted)
to disprove these assertions. Everything that had
passed that evening convinced him more and more of the
correctness of his original statement.—(Laughter.) The
Hon. Member concluded by stating that he would take
the sense of the House on the motion.
The House then divided, when there appeared—
For the motion

The announcement was received with loud cheering.
The Stock in Trade Bill then went through Commit-
tee, so likewise did the Turnpike Trusts Arrangement
Bill, the Militia Ballot Suspension Bill, the Summary

Bill.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, July 10.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall, before Lord CAMP•
BELL and a Special Jury.)
HEAD V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY.

HEAD AND WIFE V, THE SAME.
These were two actions which had been brought
against the Eastern Counties Railway Company to re-
cover compensation in damages for certain injuries which
the plaintiffs had sustained, in consequence of a collision
which took place upon the Eastern Counties line on the
23d of December last, by reason of the alleged negligence
of the company's servants.
Lord CAMPBELL suggested that both actions should be
tried at the same time by the same jury, and this propo-
sition being acceded to by both sides, the cases proceeded
tocethPr.

Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., appeared
for the plaintiffs;
r
and Mr. Crowder, Q.C., and B ()- M.
vill for the defendants.
The nature of the plaintiffs' cases will be fully under-
stood by simply premising that the collision took place
by the Enfield express train running into the Hertford
train, while the latter was waiting for only a few mi-
nutes on its down journey at the Stratford station. Trio
evidence given by the plaintiff's' witnesses was as fol-
lows:
William Atkinson examined—I was stationmaster at
the Shoreditch station on the 23d of December last.
There was a book kept there of the times when the
trains started. The Brentwood train was advertised to
start at 4 20, the Hertford train at 4.30, the Enfield ex-
press at 4,45, and the Norwich express at 5. The Brent.
wood train called at every station. It was a stopping
train. The distance from Bishopsgate to Hertford is
about 31 miles. The Hertford train did not stop at
Mile-ena or Bow, but its first stoppage was at Stratford.
The Eefield express ran by Stratford, and stopped two
miles beyond Stratford. The Norwich express did not
stop till it got to Waltham. The Brentwood train, to
the best of my recollection, started at 4.30, 10 minutes
after its time. The book is kept by one of the company's
servants, a porter on the platform. He is appointed to
keep the time.
Mr. CROWDER here objected to the witness's looking
at the book.
The witness continued—The Stratford train started
at 4.40. My impression is that the Enfield express
started at 4.52.
Cross-examined—The Brentwood train leaves the
main line just before the Stratford station. The Hert-
ford train goes on the Cambridge line. The Enfield ex-
press goes to Marsh-gate, four miles beyond Stratford.
The Norwich express continues on the Cambridge line.
About Christmas there is a great difficulty in keeping
the time. There was a dense fog on the 23d of Decem-
ber. It was impossible to see anything worse. Fog sig-
nals are prepared for use on that line. They explode
by detonating powder. All the officers at all the sta-
tions ere provided with them. Persons are appointed to
put them on the line. On this day we bad given out
1,000 or 1,500, and persons were appointed at 150 or
200 yards apart along the line. I have no doubt they
were used on this occasion; at least, I issued more from
time to time. On this occasion you could not see a leathern
for more than five or six yards.
Re-examined—The times of the trains have been al-
tered since the accident, but not immediately. I cannot
recollect exactly the time of the change. I was changed
shortly after to another station, which is considered an
inferior station. It is the duty of the engine-driver,
when he seas a signal which indicates caution or danger,
in the first case to slacken his speed, and in the second
to stop altogether and wait for further advice. I dis-
patched men down the line with the signals.
By Lord CA3IPBELL—The engine-driver of the En-
field express was on his engine, close by when the
Hertford train departed. The engine-driver's attention
was called to the Jact that the Hertford train was behind
its time.
William Wills, examined—l was a porter at the Strat-
ford station. It was very foggy there on the night in
question. The Stratford junction is about 150 yards from
the Stratford station. There was no telegraphic commu-
nication between them, and there is none now. I re-
member the Hertford train coming at about five o'clock.
It was due at 4.41. I cannot say at what time the En-
field express train was due. No fog-signals had been
put down between the Stratford junction and the Strat-
ford station. The Enfield train seemed to be coming on
fast. I and another servant went to the end of the plat-
form, and tried to stop the train by shouting. The train
did not appear to slacken speed. It seemed to be going
about 12 or 14 miles an hoar when it pitched into the
train. It drove it the length of three or four carriages.
It broke the carriage in which Mr. and Mrs. Head were.
The ends were smashed. The middle compartment was
not so much injured. The train ought not to go more
than five miles an hour over the junction point. The
Hertford train bad been about three minutes at
the station. The passengers were all out, and the train
was just going on.
Cross• examined—The place where the fog-signals
would be placed would be on the other aide of the junc-
tion. Signalmen would be between. There were people
on both ends. Mr. Richardson was immediately on the
platform. Every care and attention that could be paid
was paid to the persons injured. The fog continued till
about twelve o'clock. The carriages were cleared away
as quickly as possible. We tent Mr. and Mrs. 1I isd on
to Broxbourne as speedily as we could. Some people
were more injured than they were.
Re-examined—l don't know whether Mr. and Mrs.
Head were told that they must stop at the Water-lane
station. I don't know when they were fJrwarded.

By a Juror—The train usually passes the station a
twelve miles an hour. After passing the junction they
put on their steam.
John Murray examined—l was station-master at Bow
when the accident happened. I recollect the Brentwood
train caning to Bow. I can't recollect the time, but it
was too late. While there the Hertford train came up.
It gave the Brentwood train a slight shock. There was
a fog-signal laid down as a caution. Two were not
laid down, because the fog-men was out of signals. He
might hold up a flag, but it could not be seen at any
distance. The Hertford train was d-tained five or six
minutes. I sent a man back immediately to stop the
Enfield express I believe the man left one signal on
the rail. I observed, or at least heard, the Enfield
express coming. It did not stop. It passed Bow at
seven or eight miles an hour, and then appeared to put
the steam on. It was behind its time when it passed. I
cannot say whether the Norwich express was then due.
The Bow station is about a mile and a quarter from the
Stratford junction. Alter the accident there was an al-
teration in the trains. I got two dozen more fog-signals
that night. It may have been two hours after the acci-
dent. I had not heard of the accident then. I did no-
thing to stop the Norwich express.
Cross-examined—l had a large quantity of fog-signals
that day on account of the fog. Theman who had used
up his fog-signals came to me for some of mine. I had a
greater supply of men in consequence of the fog.
Re-examined—When my fog-signals were gone I bor-
rowed of the drivers and guards.
Benjamin Richardson examined—l am station-master
to the Stratford station. I remember the Hertford train
coming up. I was attending to a female passenger who had
fainted in consequence of the collision at Bow. I was pro-
vided wit`: fog-signals. I believe none were put down be-
tween the junction and station. The train came on at fastish
speed. I ran over as quickly as I could. The last carriage
was second-class, the next was a first-class carriage,
in which Mr. and Mrs. Head were. Both of them were
carried out. They were suffering very greatly; but I
had not much opportunity of attending to them, as my
attention was otherwise occupied. I promised that they
should be taken to Broxbourn as soon as possi-
ble, and gave instruction to that effect. I assisted in
removing Mr. and Mrs. Head from the carriage. Mr.
Head could not walk. He seemed shocked. Mrs. Head
was carried. They remained in the station until medical
aid arrived, for about an hour or more. He wished to
be taken to Broxbourne, where he resided. At that
time there was no telegraphic communication with Lon-
don. Since that, one has been made. The trains were
not altered for some time, about three months. Now,
the Hertford train starts at 20 minutes past 4, and the
Brentwood train at a quarter to 5 o'clock.
Cross-examined—We are obliged to have a good
many trains following one another rapidly. I sent out
a man expressly beyond the junction with fog-signals.
I believe there were one or two extra hands at the sta-
tion in consequence of the fog. We got medical men
almost immediately. We got every one we could get.
Re-examined—The Enfield train ought to have stopped
between the junction and the station. The fog-signal
was put down, but I cannot say it was attended to.
Charles Foster examined—l was a porter at the Water-
lane station on the night of the accident. That station
is six miles from the Stratford station, about 60 yards
before the line turns off to Enfield. Mr. and Mrs. Head
were in a carriage in the Enfield train. The carriage in
which they wore was taken off, and pushed by hand on
to the Water-lane siding. The train then proceeded to
Enfield, which is three miles and a half distant. The
engine returned as soon as it had conveyed the train.
It remained at Water-lane until the down train came.
Mr. and Mrs. Head remained in the carriage an hour or
an hour and a half, till they were taken on by the half-
past seven o clock train from London. That was a slow
train, and usually arrived at Water-lane station at four
minutes past eight. It was later than usual that night.
It was foggy and frosty that night. The engine which
remained was idle till the slow train came.
Cross-examined it remained for the down train for
Broxbourne.
George Griffiths examined—l was a porter at the
Broxbourne station on the day of the accident. The
train arrived at 25 minutes past eight with Mr. sand Mrs.
Head. They appeared to be suffering from an accidoerl.
I carried Mrs. Head to a carriage—a fly—and 5000 ed a
ponied them to lloddesdon, which is about a rpilr° Head
half distant. I carried them both up stairs. in

Mrs. Head's system had sustained a very great shock.
The irries of both the parties were much the same.
Mrs. Head's legs were also much swelled. Mr. Head

had an abrasure on his leg, which afterwards along,
and gave him a great deal of suffering. Mrs. Head
had inflammation of the periosteum, which con-
tinued for some time. It might have been attended
with peril. Mrs. Head also kept her bed, and endured
much suffering. She had not recovered when I left off
attending her. I
.have seen them both several times
since. iifr. Head is now recovered. A month after I
ceased attending Mr. Head he was still lame with a
contracted leg. I saw Mrs. Head about three weeks
ago. She has in a great measure recovered, but I don't
think entirely. She has general debility, and cannot
walk to the same extent as before. At the latter end of
March she was unable to walk without support.
Crcss.examined— The legs might have been broken,
but were not. Fever might have ensued, but did not. I
did not meet Mr. Bransby Cooper at. Mr. Head's. I
knew he went there. I knew he had given a favourable
opinion of the parties. He was sent down by the com-
pany'.
Mr. Locke examined—l am a surgeon at Hoddesdon.
I attended the plaintiffs with the last witness. They
were not able to move to have the bed made for about a
fortnight. At the end of three weeks they were wheeled
into the drawing-room. Neither of them could pat a
foot to the ground fur a month. Mr. Head was obliged
to tee crutches. He was not able to altend to business

:bed

tid. the middle of February, He has since been bodily
ill from the effects of the 4h( ck. Mrs. Head is suffering
at the present time from varicose veins. That may re-
main for some time.

By Loid CAMPBELL-1 received my professional re-
m,meration from Mr. head.

Mr. Partridge examined—l am clerk in the brewery
et Mlle-cnd. Before the accident the plaintiff attended
to the brewery daily. He was the acting partner. He
was away about seven weeks.
Mr. CRowDER then addressed the jury for the defend-
ants, and denied that the company's servants had been
guilty of any neglect of Mr. and Mrs. Head. Every
poss:ble attention had been shown to them, and, so far
`Nuts the suggestion from being true, it was proved that
Mr. Bransby Cooper, a most eminent surgeon, was Bent
down by the company to Hoddesdon, where he held a
consultation with the plaintiffs' medical attendant, the
result of which was that ho gave a favourable account of
their condition. The main question was, whether the
accident was occasioned by the negligence of the defend-
ants' servants. The Learned Counsel then contended
that every thing possible had been done by the corn,.
7 unavoidable. If, however, the
pany's servants in order to avoid the accident. This was
to
the fog which came on, and
jury should be of a contrary opinion, he was sure they
rendered ra
would think that the case was not one in which the corn-
et attributed btuhtee dac entirelyeid ent i
pany should be punished by being called upon to pay
heavy damages.
Lord CAMPBELL, in summing up the evidence to the
jury, said they were now trying two actions, the one
brought by Mr. Heart to recover compensation for the
injuries which he had sustained, and the expense to
which he had been put in curing himself and wife of
the injuries which they had sustained by reasop of the
negligence of the company's servants ; and: the
second sought by Mr. Head and: his wife to re-
cover compensation for the personal injury which Mrs.
Head suffered. It had been agreed that the same jury
should dispose of both actions at the same time. If there
had been no negligence on the part of the company they
would be entitled to a verdict, but if there had been such
negligence he (Lord Campbell) thoughtithe plaintiff had
done well (though he was, as had been 'described, a rich
brewer) in bringing this action against the company to
recover compensation. He (Lord Campbell) was happy
to say that in this case there was no personal miscon-
duct on the part of the servants of the company. They
appeared to be decent men, and had given their evidence
very well and very creditably. But it would be for the
jury to say whether they had any doubt that the com-
pany had been guilty of negligence. In the first place
they must consider whether the general arrangement 4
which had been made by the company for the starting
of the trains did not show negligence on their:part. /ac-
cording to the time-bill the Brentwood train, which was
to stop at Mile-end and Bow, started at 4.20. The
Hertford train, which was to stop at Stratford, and net
at Mile-end and Bow, started at 4.30. Then came the
express train which was to follow the trains which were
to stop at Mile-end, Bow, and Stratford; and that train
started at 4.45. It was to start only a quarter of an hour
after the train which was to stop at Stratford. The
question for the jury to consider was, whether this was a
reasonable arrangement for all weathers; it being
admitted that no alteration could be made to suit a
change in the weather, such as the coming on of a fog, to
which the Eastern Counties lino was peculiarly liable.
Even the times indicated by the time-bill did not appear
to have been kept, for the trains were behind their
.

time; and, instead of their being a disiance of a quarter
of an hour between the Hertford train and the express
which followed, there were but twelve minutes. The
question for the jury then, was, whether it was a pru-
dent thing for the station-master to start the express
train after he had only twelve minutes before started
the Hertford train, which was to stop at Stratford. If
the jury should be of opinion that there had Leen no im-
prudence, but that the accident was inevitable, and arose
from the state of the weather, they would give a verdict
for the defendants' Another point for the consideration
of the jury was the want of detonating balls which were
used as fog-signals. The person at the Bow-station who
had charge of the signals found that his stock was ex-
hauitid. He had but one. The consequence was that
the Enfield train, not being aware of the danger, came
up to the Stratford station where the Hertford train stilt
was. It was detained there for a few minutes in conse-

quence of there having previously been a collision at the
Bow station Iwtween the Brentwood train and the Hert-
ford train. "'ere, again, if the jury should be of opinion
that there had been negligence in theso arrangements, they
would find n verdict for the plaintiffs. It they should
come to consider the amount of damages to which the

plaintiffs were entitled, the jury would be-ix
in mind that those sufferings bad been very great.
Let the jary think of Mr. and Mrs. Head's situa-
tion, waiting for an hour or an hour and a half in the
carriage at the Water-lane station, without any person
to assist them, till the train came from London to take
them on. They had also been detained iu bed for above
a month. The jury would not give the plaintiff greater
damages became his leg had net been broken, on Ora
principle that " my wound is great because it is no
small," but such a fair amount as would be a reason-
able compensation for his injury. The company had
acted most properly in employing that most eminent
surgeon, Mr. Bransby Cooper, upon whose professional
character his Lordship pronounced a warm eulogium,
founded upon a personal knowledge of many years.
It was impossible that the company could have acted
more properly than they did, sending Mr. Cooper down
to Iloddesdon to render the plaintiffs any assistance
which might be needed, and which his skill might en-
able him to afford. If the jury should find a verdict for
the plaintiff, they would give him reasonable damages
for his personal sufferings, as well as for the expenses
which he had incurred, and for his loss of time. They
would
give damages to Mrs. Head, as a compensa-
tionf alorhsoer
personal sufferings.
The jury retired for a short time, and, on their return
into court, gave verdicts for the plaintiffs, with 1,000/.
damages.
The jury were again sworn, and assessed the damages
in each action at 5001.
