LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Guildhall, before Lord
Chief Justice Cockburn, and a Special Jury.)
GOLTIB V. THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
This was an action by the plaintiff, a hair-
dresser, at Barclay-road, Essex, and his wife, to
recover damages sustained by the latter while tra-
velling on the company's line. The defendants
denied that they were indebted to the plaintiffs, or
that their servants had been guilty of any negligence
on the part of their servants.

Mr. Sergeant O'Brien was counsel for the
plaintiff ; and Mr. Powell, Q.C., for the defendants.
Mrs. Rachel Gotlib, the female plaintiff, stated
that last November she went by the second-class on
the company's line from the Barclay road station.
There were in the carriage with her two ladies
whom she did not know and her brother. On the
arrival of the train at Stratford one of the railway"
porters opened the door of the eltrriage, and the
ladies got out. As she was about following them,
the carriage gave a jerk, and she was flung on the
platform. She fell very heavily, being large in the
family way. When she returned home she became
very ill, and the next day she suffered severe pain
from a contusion in the knee and other injuries
from the accident. She was soon under medical
treatment, but fortunately no premature confine-
ment took place. The injuries were serious, if
not permanent, in their character, and Mrs. Gotlib
had been unable to render her husband any
assistance in his business for some time after the
accident. She was also obliged to have the con-
stant attendance of a nurse. The company took
no notice of an application for compensation, but
when they had been served with a writ on behalf
of the plaintiff, they took out a summons against the
lady for having got out of the carriage while the train
was in motion, but up the present time the
latter was not proceeded with.

Other evidence was given on behalf of the
plaintiff.

The jury found a verdict for the defendant.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Guildhall, before Mr.
Justice Keating and a Common Jury.)
ABSALON V. POUNCETS.
Mr. IL James was counsel for the Plaintiff, and
Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., for the defendant.
The plaintiff in this cas3 is an artist, and the
defendant a gentleman of fortune, who has a taste
for paintings. Last November the plaintiff exhi-
bited a picture in water colours at the Pall-mall
Exhibition, which the defendant agreed to purchase
for £l5, and a label was fixed on it with the word
" sold" written on it. The picture was entitled
" Idlers," and was framed and glazed.
For the plaintiff Mr. R. Thackwaite, a keeper of
the pictures at the exhibition, was examined, and
stated that the defendant agreed to purchase the
picture in question without the frame.

- .
This was denied by the defendant, who alleged
that he bought the picture with the distinct under-
standing that the frame was to be included in the
purchase-money agreed to be paid by the defendant.
The jury found a verdict for the defendant. •
