TINE WesTfIElD CASES.

The Judgment OF the Court OF Appeals.
The judgments in the City Court in favor OF Mrs.
Madden and others against the Staten Island Rail-
road Company Tor damages arising from the West
neld disaster have been reversed BY the Court OF
OF Appeals, and the complaint dismissed on the
ground that the State Courts have no jurisdiction
in such cases. The case OF Mrs. Madden against
the company was tried three times before the City
Court. The jury disagreed on the first two trials
but gave verdict in favor OF the plaintT Tor
the full amount claimed. (f5,000) ON the
third trial. The defendants then appealed
to the General Term. at which the verdict con-
frmed. The case was then taken before the Court
OF Appeals and argued by able lawyers in Marcn
last. The decision adverse to the sufferers, will
probably have the effect OF stopping all Iurtner lit
CATION. Had the reversal been on any other
ground than that OF want OF Jurisdiction the CON-
plants would not have been dismissed, but new
trial ordered.
