HOME CIRCUIT.—KINGSTON, MARca 27.

(Before Mr. Baron Alderson and a Special Jury.)

BURST V. THE SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

This was an action to recover damages for injuries re-
ceived by an accident alleged to have been caused by the
negligence of the defendants' servants.
Mr. Bovili, Q.C., Mr. Lush, and Mr.Honyman, were
counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr.
Woollett, appeared for the South Eastern Company.
The accident that was the subject of inquiry took place
in December last, at the New Cross station of the North
Kent line. It will be remembered that in consequence of
the negligence of the men employed at the switches the
points were not in a proper state, and the train was in
consequence turned off the line in the siding, where it
came into collision with some empty carriages. The plain-
tiff, who is the captain of a merchant vessel, was one
of the passengers, and he received very severe injuries,
a portion of bone being taken from one of his legs, and one
of his feet having become paralysed ; and, according to
the medical evidence, it is very doubtful whether he will
ever recover the use of it. _ _ _

- - -- ---- - -- --__ _
Mr. James— addressed the jury in mitigation of da-
mages, and
The learned Judge having summed up, the jury, after
a very short deliberation, returned a verdict for the
plaintiff ; damages, 750/.
