RESPONSIBILITY OF RAILROAD COMPANIES IN
CASES OF ACCIDENT-The practice of the courts has
heretofore been, when an action damages was
brought against railroad company, that the de-
PENDANTS might claim that they used due diligence
and care to avoid accident. aud the plantf was re-
qured to prove there was neglect. The company
controlling the evidence to great extent, it is often
next to impossible for the compainants to make out
their case. The Pennsylvania courts now decide
that the accident itself is evidence of neglect The
whether the accident arises from defects of engines
cars, or rails, or from the act of empoyes. The
adoption of such rule generally will be likely to
lessen the number Of accidents 10y making the bin
for damages much larger
