INTERESTING DECIsIoN.-A case of Importance to
the citizens of Baltimore, and to all who may walk
or drive through our streets, came up for trial in
the Court of Common Pleas, before his honor Judge
Marshall, on Friday last. From the proof it ap-
peared that some time ago the wagon of Messrs.
Shields Roche, merchants on Howard street, was
about to cross the railroad track when large car
heavily laden with marble, belonging to Mr.. Thos.
Symington, came in contact with the wagon and
crushed and considerably broke it. The driver of
the wagon leapcl out and thereby saved his life
the horse broke loose and not injured. The
owners of the wagon instituted suit before s. Nor
ris Esq, Justice of the Peace, to recover the
value of the damage done to the wagon-the
Justice decided in favor of the Plaintiffs and
the Defendant appealed. For the Defendant it
was contendcd that if the Plaintiffs driver
had carefully looked about he might have
seen the car coming and have avoided the injury.
On the other side it shown that south from
Testers switch through Howard street, is a dorn
grode, that heavily laden car unless guarded by
sufficient number of brallesmen, will acquire We
locity dangerous to life and property. That on this
occasion there was but one brakesman and that he
without the notice horn, usually used by car
brakesm en- in Howard street.
The Judge in delivering his opinion, said that
rail road cars, omnibusses, and similar vehicles in
the midst of a crowded city, were bound to take
ecroordinary care, and to be at all times provided
with horns, or take such other means might give
or walking, could not be expected to more than
usual vigilance, and in this the railroad
was progressing at unusual speed and the brakes
man without horn, the Court would affirm the
Judgment of the justice. W. p. Preston for plain
tiffS; j. MalcOm, for defendant.
