CIVIL RIGHTS CAsE-CITY PASSENGER
RAILWAY.
In the United States Circuit court. before
the Hon. Judges Bond and Giles, the case
of John w. Fields, (colored) of Virginia,
against the Baltimore City Passenger rail-
way company, which was commenced on
Thursday last is not yet concluded. The
action was brought to recover damages for
being elected from car Of the defendant
on the Charles-Street line not assigned for
the use of colored people.
The evidence was concluded on Saturday,
which was conflicting with respect to the
facts of the case. An officer of the com
pany testified that the colored passengers
amounted to only four per cent, or four
colored in every one hundred passengers.-
The case itself is of but little importance,
however, except as involving the right of
eolored people to ride in the city passenger
cars generally.
The law of the case, however, was set
tied by the court in its instruction to the
jury. After granting the prayers of colln-
sci, Judge Bond gave the following instruc-
ton of the court to the jury:
IF the jury find from the evidence that
the defendant is a common carrier of pas
sengers for hire in the city of Baltimore,
and that on the Goth day of February, 1871.
the plaintiff entered the car Of defendant
for the purpose of being carried therein
over the route of defendants road, and
was then and there ready and willing to
pay for his transportation when demanded
in the usual way, and that the defendant
refused to transport him because of his
color only, then the plaintiff is entitled to
recovery. And the jury is instructed that
if they find for the plaintiff they must find
such damages as the jury find from the evil
dence will compensate him for the wrong
and injury done him, and not punitive or
yindictiye damages"
Mr.. FRESHMAN then commenced the ar
gument before the jury on the facts of the
case, and it will be concluded to-day.
Whatever may be the result of the trial
of this case, the instruction of the court
would seem to settle the question of the
legal right of colored people to ride in all
the cars Of the city passenger railway
Baltimore San.
