RAILWAY ACCIDENTS AND MEDICAL
measure has been brought into the House of Commons by
Mr..Newdegate, Mr. Spooner, and Mr. Adderley, to provide
medical assistance in cases of accidents on railways. The
preamble of the Bill recites that, whereas no action is now
maintainable against a railway company by a surgeon called
in by the servant of a railway company to render assistance
to a passenger who has been accidentally injured, it is right
and expedient that oftentimes the company in such case
should be answerable for the services of the surgeon called
in. It then proposes to enact that the servants of railway
companies may call in surgeons in case of accidents, the acts
of the servant to bind the railway company until notice is
given to the medical attendant to the cor.trary. A railway
company may recover expenses from
.other railway com-
panies in fault, or from a passenger in fault ; and in the case
of a " pauper passenger," the company is to have a legal
right to recover from the overseers of the parish in which the
accident happened. '1 he Act, it is proposed, shall be affixed
at every station along the railway.
