til Saturday OF this week. Vim. Ii. Elem
ing, OF Tewksbury, was granted whole

The first cause moved was No. /, on
the Suprme llst-Jos. II. Exton and Fan
ME, his wife, against the Central Railroad
Co. OF New Jersey On the oath OF Novem-
Der, 1898, Mrs. Exton came from Brook
lyn TO the Central Ferry in New York 10
take,a train 20 her home nea High Bridge,
New Jersey. She started out OF the ferry
house to the baggage room to get her
trunk checked. Just outside the ferry
house door hackman and colored por-
ter were having little skuflle, and one
Of them, running against her, threw her
to the floor, her head striking violently
against the flag pavement. She was rem
dered unconscious, and a physician was
at once called in to minister to her She
was conveyed to her home on later
train, still remaining in sem-conscious
condition. There her family physician
attended her, and il was found that she
had sustained an injury to her spine and
severe nervous shock. She was con-
fined to her bed for some two months I'M
time than that she unable to walk alone.
At the close Of plaintiffs case the de-
PENDANTS counsel moved for a nonsuit on
the ground that the plaintiffs had not
shown not only that the injury WAS COM
mittsd by any employe OF the Company,
but that they had not produced any testi
mony TO show that the Company had any
knowledge Of or permitted the scufiling
at the place where the accident occurred.
The Court refused the motion to nonsuit,
as he understood the law TO be that rail-
road company was uOder obligation to
provide safe way to and from their bag
gage rooms where passengers had to 20 in
order 10 have their baggage checked, as
well as to have proper rooms for passen-
gers to be while waiting for trains; aud
as it had been shown that there had been
scuffliDg there prior TO this occurrence, he
overruled the motion to nonsuit. The de-
fence is being put in as we go to press.
