passengers. has just been given in the Superio.
F6qrtot New York. by Judge Freedman It
Was the case of Hamilton vs.. the Third
Avenue Railroad Company. The plaintiff was
put offa Third-avehue car. for the alleged
non-payment of fare. The jury in the inferior
Court gave the plaintiff five hundred dollars
damages. The company appealed contending
that in no event could the liability of the com.
pany exceed the amount of the fare. The
Superior Court, however, decided that the
company is liable to passenger for any er-
ror Of judgement, or mistake of fact, OH the

damages they had an undoubted right to take
into consideration the plaintiffs mental pain,
modification, and suffering, as well as his
physical hurt, and further, that the jury had a
right to add exemplary damages; that as
these might have been recorded against the
conductor, If the action had been brought
