the conduct of ono of his migrants, in endanger-
ing the lives or the passengers by furinos Ariviug
The action was brought in consequence of the De.
Pendant's refusal to defray the expences attending the
injury sustained by the Plaintiff. The presence of
the surgeon who ettecded upon the occasion was not
thought neceesary to estebllsh a ground fir action,
as the demand was for the anguish of the injury, and
not for the aninaht of the apothecary's bill.

sequence of the endeavour cr another Elmer coach
In pass by. The horses went at this rate for two or
three minutes, and on running to the wrong aide of
the road, apparently for the purpose or ptomain
the other coach free getting before him, the coach
▪as upset with greaLvioleoce. The Plaintiff's face
was mach cot, and a quantity of blond flowed from
it. Io shoot ball an hoer witness procured assist-
ance, and the passengers went on in post shakes to
