sulting from the alleged frauds, malfeasance or
negligence charged against the defendants as d.
rectors of the Citizens Mutual Insurance Company
during the years 1854 1865 1866 and part of 1861,
it becomes my duty to examine this exception, in
order to ascertain how far it is applicable to this
cause.
The defendants rely on G. C. Art 1901 and 1902
In relation to the prescription of offenses and
quasi-ofenses, and on Art. 1884, defining the
terms ofienses and quasi 0feases, and they cite ia

the above positions Is correct, because the facts

A Ser ious Accident Resulting from q Piece
OF HSrofam.

| An accident, that we must ascribe to culpsbIe
careessness, occurred yesterday at the corner of
Camp and GirOd streets. A colored woman, SER
want in the employ of Mrs. Gruber, whilst cross
ing with two children at the intersection men,
toned, observed q large cottoi float rapidly
approaching, and thinking that she could traverse
the space without danger, hurried forward with
one of her charges 10 the advance. The driver,
q colored man. perceiving their imminent danger,
endeevored lit said by some) 10 check his horse,
but without avail; when the nurse, discerning the
peril of the child, rushed to its in time 10
preserve its life. but unfortunately with result
we regret to chronicle. She had performed an
heroic act, but fell herself victim; the wheels
of the heavy dray passing completely over her
PROSTATE body.
She was taken up in an insensible condition
and conveyed into Richelieu's confectionery but
not without many warm expressions OF admira-
ton from the spectators who had witnessed her
noble conduct. Shortly afterwards when our re-
porter saw her, she had sufficiently recovered to
be able TO speak and walk. She said she felt very
sore but could not tell further of her injuries Ii
is to be hoped that they will not prove serious,
for her conduct was too self sacrificing 10 end IN
a misfortune. From all accounts the driver was
guilty of most culpable carelessness and richly
deserves the EXTREMIST punishment OF the law.
