But that which leads to blast and btfrht
A brothers env1ed name.

Some toll for riches, some for fame,
While some strive to attain

Damages for Railway Accidents.

The question of damages for accidents on
railroads is frequently before the Courts in
England, and a case which will probably
furnish a valuable precedent there and here
has Just been decided. Mr.. Phillips, sur
geon. met with an accident incapacitating
him from practice now, and rendering it
uncertain If he will ever be able to resume
it. 1t was shown by his counsel that he
had been earning $4,000 a year, but this
large income was in measure due to ex-
ceptionally big fees in the two years prece-
ding his accident. The jury, apparently
taking this into account, gave him $4,000.
The company appealed, alleging that the
Court had misdirected the jury, inasmuch
as il had told them that they must give Mr..
Phillips what, under all the circumstances,
they thought a reasonable compensation
both for personal suffering and peeuniary
loss. Sergeant Ballautine. for the compa-
ny. commended that peeuniary loss ought not
TO be taken into account, but the court held
that the company, in contracting TO carry
a passenger, contracts to carry his fortune
as well as person, and sustained the court
below Assuming that Mr. Phillips cannot
return to practice, the damages seem small
enough: $4,000 at per cent. would only
yield $4,000 year, poor substitute for
$4,000.
