trial of Daniel Digney, the hanson driver
May last, was resumed. Mr.. Taggart for the
government, presented some authorities i'm an
swcr 10 an 1ntinlatiOn from the court that it was
necessary 10 prove an intent. The court said
that he had never known an Indictment for an
ass3uit on the one ground OF negligence. There
could be no doubt if death had ensU.nd but that
an indictment for nianslaughter could be main-
talned. In cases of assault there are two eIe-
mtnts neGded-force and intent. 1t not
cIalhleu mat the driver had any intention of
inJuring the complainant, but that the Injuries
resulted rom careiessness ON his part and it
may be the injuries resulted from the careless
ness of both parties. While civil action might
