SECOND.4.IIIFS OFFICE, COLEMAN,STREET.
WILD, EvQ.S. IVILLANs

Mr. WILD said, this was a case to assess damn;
in an action brought by a Gentleman of his nan:
against the defendant, a coach-proprietor, to alisr.
:or the conduct of one of his servants, in endangeit
the lives of the passcrgsrs by furious driving. 11,
action was brought in consequence of the detendais
refusal to defray the expenses attending the injui
su,tained by the plaintiff. The presence of the Su
geon who attended upon the occasion was not thougi
necessayy to establish a ground for action, as the di
stand was for the anguish GI intiry, and nut f
the amount of die Anothecary's bill.
Mr. Dalton, a Solicitor, stated, that in Marc]
1815, he set off in the Exe-er and Ylynsouth sul
-I
scription coach. There were four inside passenge
a Lady, a Mr. Clark, the plaintiff, and himself. Abt
two miles beyond 13agshot, the coach was ping
the rate of ten miles an I.olr ; the coachman whi
ped on Lis horses at that impetuous rate, in cow
quence of the endeavour of another Exeter coach
pass by. The horses went at this rate for two or th!*
minutes, and on running to the wrong side of the
apparently for the purpose of pteventing the otht
coach from getting before hifif, the coach was tu
set with great violence. The plaintiff's face
much cut, and a quantity of bicod flowed from
In about half an hcur witness procured assistant,
and the passengers went on in post-chaises to these]
stage, from whence they set off for Exeter, in motile
Subscription coach, which they met empty. Th
coachman, immediately before the accident, appeare
intoxicated, but the breaking of his leg, which befi
him, evidently sobered him. Witness never
the plaintiff before. He frequently expressed

great pain.
Cross-examined by Mr. C H rrty—Witnesswashim
self bruized; did not hear the plaintiff complain
broken bones; but it was fcund necessary to have Li
blooded at Hindon. A careful coachman had drivl
the coach as far as Bagshot, where the intexicam
coachman was substituted.

Mr. CHITTY, for the Dcrendaet, said, that
client had an extensive business And many servant
and ought not to be severely visited for the attic:
tal misconduct of a man who did not drive fa
the home district. The reason a compromise haf
been refused on the part of the proprietor was, the
he vas of opinion that the action had not been is
tuted by the plaintiff. The accident was, he sa
slight, and 4:10 might be considered as a fair es:
mate; £:2B had been *demanded, but was refusf
on the ground that it might not go into the plain&
pocket.—The Jury gave a verdict for the PlaintiE-
Damages £5O.
