ACTION AGAINST RAILROAD.
MARCH 4.-Peter Il. I6icnSend Us. The Patterson
and Neic York and Erie Raitroad.-This was an ac-
ton for damages done to the plaintiff by breaking his
arm, under the following circumstances:-On the
2lst June, 1850, the plaintiff was passenger on the
defendants cars, and when between Paterson and
Jersey City sat with his elbow projecting outside Of
the window; whilst the cars were passing over the
Passaic bridge, his arm struck against piece OF
timber which was placed to strengthen the draw
bridge, and was broken above the elbow; the plain
tiff who suffered for four months, now brings his
action for damages to the amount of $4,000.
For the defence it was commended that bills were
posted in the cars, cautioning passengers not to
place their arms outside the windows, and that the
injury to the plaintiff occurred by his own negligence
III doing so.
The Judge, in his charge, said that if there was
negligence on the part of the plaintiff he could not
recover; if there notice posted up, cautioning
persons not to put their arms out Of the windows,
and that plaintiff did without any cause of alarm
or sudden impulse he could not recover; if there
no notice, and he projected his arm no further than
a cautious person would do, he was entitled to reco-
yer. The jury rendered sealed verdict for plaintiff,
for 5000.
