DIR. Binisdeil ia Court.
Before Judge Barnard.
Fd,ccett.rs. SeDdrt.-Ihis action was brought by
the plaintiff administer Of his deceased WIFE Mar
garct, whose deatn, 1t was alleged was caused by
the defendants driver running over her while
driving an Ice cart In Seventeenth street, on the
night Of the 10Th of July, 1865. Theevdence showed
that the defendants driver while driving rapidly
up the street struck the deceased either with
tile pole OF the wagon or one or the
wheels; tnat she was Knocked down and was
rendered sbeechess and senscess; that she was
taken home, ana her ankle and loot were found to
be bruised aud the skin abraded. Dr. Baisdell tes-
titled that he was the only physician who attended
upon her. and that in his opinion she died from
dropsy and Brlght's disease OF the Kidneys and that
the INJURIES she received could not have produced
either. These facts appearing Mr. IRA Shafer, OF
counsel for the defendant, moved TO dismiss the
complaint, on the ground that the plantr's q proof
show ed that her death was caused by disease and
not by injuries, and the motion was granted.
DR.. Bialsde was brought from prison upon
habeas corpus by the deendant and the paintitf
was unaware he was there, as he swore, until his at
tentlon was called to him by Mr.. Shaier on cross
examination. The plaintiff evidently desired to
avoid calling the doctor, whose evidence was very
damaging 10 the plaintiff he swearing t. at he told
the paihtIf that The deceased died OF Brlght's
disease OF the kidneys. The doctor looks wei, is
hopeful OF pardon, and expects 70 be out In short
time.
