This was an action to recover a compensation in
dAmages for the injury sustained bribe plaintiff's wife
being thrown front the defendant's pock through the
neglect and misconduct of the defendant's servants.
Mr. TALSOMD opined the pleadlege.
Mr. DAMIAN stated the case to the Jury. From the
evidence of three other outside passengers, it appeared
that Mrs. Heard was a passenger with them on the
defendants' Exeter coach, called the Sovereign," on
the Bth of April last. On leaving Exeter, the comb
was very heavily loaded with luggage in the boots nod
also on the roof, so much so as to be iaconvenieet to
the passengers. In passing down Harnain•hill, near
Salisbury, the drag-chain being broke' and one of the 11
horses becoming unruly, the coach was drawn ism the
water table by the road side, and some one exclaiming
4, the is going over," several of the passengers jumped,
off, and from the slanting position of the coach, Mrs.
Heard was thrown into the road,a'and the wheels passed
OM one of her axles. She wattaken up and removed
to Salisbury; where she remained till the 29th May last.
Mr. Henry Coates, surgeon, who attended Mrs.
Heard tall she left Salisbury, proved his finding berin
a very dangerous state, her foot beidg in a state of
mortification from the sock downwsirds, and several of
her frost teeth knocked oat, and that she will never
wholly iecovis: frosts the injuries she sustained.
Mr. Brown, a suratnhas attended Mrs. Heard
since hes arrival in , and she will never have
the entice's.* of her foot again, and the muscles of the!
jaw beingelalated, she cannot, without much incon-
venient*, IDAMICAIN her food.

Mr. &easesr hete stated, he was happy to inform
the Jury that be had arranged between the parties.—
The presprietees had 'on disposition to throw obstacles
in the plaitudrsway,altheugh they had been instructed
there was a good defence to this action. But they had
paid the plaintif's espouse% at Salisbury, and were now
willing that a virdiet should be taken for the plaintiff
for 15U1. provided uo ether action was brought.
Verdtcs firths plaintiff accordingly—Damages 1501.

This writ On action in trover to recover back from
the defett4sois five bills of exchange, which the
plain-
tiff had (Mopnted, anal afterwards returned to them;
and also to recover another bill, which had been drawn
in lien -of the first five dills. The facts of the case were
these: the plaintiffs discounted the five bills, and gave
a check on Messrs. Sikes and Co. bankers, for the
amount; the defendants wished to ge to the bankers
to receive the money; but it was observed to them,
46 that in times like these it was not right to harass
bankers by going for the money, that if their (the de-
fendant's) banker's name was written across the check,,
they could pay it in, and they would pay accordingly'
on the faith of it." The plaintiffs wrote the names ct
the defendants bankers on the check, and it was paid
into their bankers, but not in time fbr clearing. This
was on a Saturday : on the Monday morning Messrs.
Sikes and lan. had stopped payment. The defendants
applied to the plaintiffs, and said that it was a ver y
hard ease, and idmitted that they had neglected to
pay in the cheque in time, but that they, the plaintiffs,
