FRIpAY.-Isaac Smith, Jr., v. City of Portland.
This was a special action on the case to recover
damages for personal injuries and for injury to pro-
perty alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff
the afternoon of October 10TH 1874 by reason OF
defect at the corner of Bowdoin street and the Wes
tern promenade.
The location of said streets and the liability of the
defendants to keep them in repair. We're admitted.
The uefect com claimed Of was stone of about the
following dimensions, two feet and eight inches by
two feet and four inches, by one foot and Ole inch.
which had originally been set at the corner OF said
two streets, but which at some time, not clearly
shown by the testimony, had fallen over into the
travelled way, and extended for its entire length
INTO the Western promenade, covering it lay upon
the ground, portion OF the way usually travelled
by carriages in passing said corner.
The plaintiff at the date of the accident. near sun
setwas passing upBowdon street at the rateas he al
legged, of four or FIVE miles hour and she attempt
ed to pass the corner and to turn into the Western
Promenade his carriage, meat wagon, struck the
rock, he was thrown out, severe personal injuries
were inflicted upon him, from which he had con
stantly suffered since; and his horse, harness and
wagon were damaged to the amount of three or four
hundred dollars.
The substance of the defence was that the plain
tiff was not in the exercise Of ordinary care in driv-
ing against such rock, upon broad open level
street in the daylight. 1t was also claimed on the
part of the defendants that notice to the city of the
existence of such defect had not been Proved the
y fact in evidence in this regard being that the stone
in the position stated had been by resident
of the city on the forenoon of the previous day.
The court, among other rulings, instructed the
jury substantially that for person proceeding at
slow rate of speed in the day time, upon an open
highway, there being sufficient width of street with
out obstruction and intervening objects to obstruct
his view, to drive against rock of the dimensions
stated was pria facie evidence of negligence on his
part. That the plaintiff not entitled to recover
unless, by the testimony introduced he had overcome
this prima facie proof of negligence and satisfied
them afirmatiyely by evidence which explained this
apparent carelessness on his part that he was in the
exercise of reasonable at the time and place Of
the alleged injury. The damages claimed were four
thousand dollars.
The jury after being out about five hours returned
verdict for the plaintiff for eight hundred and thir-
ty-three dollars and ifty-eight cents.

A DANGEROUS IMAL.-Yesterday noon as
some little school girls were passing by the
house of G. R. Milliken, Esq, on the corner of
Bracket and Danforth streets, large yellow
dog sprang upon one of them biting her Shout
der severely. Mr.. Davis, teamster, was drv-
ing by at the time and, witnessing the attack,
rushed promptly and vigorously to the rescue
and saved the child from further injury. Mr.
Davis said that the child would undoubtedly
have been killed but for his interference. A
considerable number of indignant people was
called together by the cutlery. 1t seems that
this is not the first offence of this ferocous an
imal, as he has made several vicious attacks be-
fore, and has long been regarded dangerous in
the neighborhood.
