UNREPORTED CASES. 481 



time she suffered great pain from the laceration of the muscles 

 of the leg and the injury done to the arteries. 



For the defendant witnesses Avere called to prove that the 

 driver was a careful and experienced man ; that he was going 

 at the time at a. rate of only about four or five miles an hour ; 

 and that he called out to the plaintiff, but that she, instead of 

 paying attention, ran against the shaft and was knocked 

 down. It also appeared that there was a descent in that part 

 of Southampton Street, which, it was suggested, had accele- 

 rated the pace of the Horse and rendered it more difficult to 

 pull up. 



The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff'. Damages 150/. 



Lord Campbell said, now that the case was over, he thought 

 it right to say that these vehicles ought not to go at the pace 

 they did, especially when turning the corners of streets. It 

 was impossible to go along the streets without seeing her Ma- 

 jesty's subjects in imminent peril. Only a short time ago 

 Mr. Commissioner Phillips had met with a very similar acci- 

 dent, which was near proving fatal. It was not enough to 

 shout oiit, which might have the effect of depriving a person 

 of presence of mind ; but these vehicles ought to go at a 

 reasonable pace, particularly when turning corners. 



Hadland v. Price.

 November 29, 1853.

 defendant. The defendant pleaded the general issue to both 

 counts, and, as to the count upon the Horse, he also pleaded 

 that it was not the plaintiff's Horse. 



It appeared that the plaintiff and defendant attended 

 Pochester and Chatham Paces, where a Pace was run called 

 a "Selling" Pace. This was explained to mean a Race for 

 which Horses were entered upon the terms that the Horse 

 which won the Race was to be sold by auction to the highest 

 bidder, but the owner was to receive only the price which he 

 had put upon the Horse when it was entered, the balance 

 going to the Race-fund. Horses thus entered were weighted 

 according to the amount put upon them, those of the highest 

 price carrying the greatest weight. At the last Chatham 

 Races the Horse Economy won the Speculation Plate, and was 

 afterwards sold by auction at the winning-post for 65 guineas.
