Grosser, and PaiLip Tiilier (Panteg), Mr. \\ïlliamø, in opening the case, told the jury that the question for them to try was, not whether the ccznpany were liablo or not, for that was ad IT ltted, but they would have to assess the damages, On the 16th of May in last year, lIIn. Hsucl, then a hale and \lgcrous woman of ;I, wis tiavelllng from Brcccn to Merthyr, aid when the pasBcngets were ab>ut to alight at Merthyr, the train in which she was wai run into by another train. She w,;s at that tine far ad- >arced in pregnancy, and had with her a little child two or tbice years oil. For thn purpose of kpfpirg that child safe she had one leg on theoppa- eite scat when the accident OCSUITOU. She lost ccmc!cu8Des., and when sho C!l10 to herself ste found herself lying In a crowd ontbe platform at the Merthyr Biatlon. She sustained a compound fracture of the leg above the ancle, and there Wire other serious injuries. She was taken to tho Infi:. c'ttry at Merthyr, and kept thero abrat two mcnths before sho could be removed to he: heme at Pcntypridd; and she had been confined to her bed from that day to this. ll-r huvbind had paid JWo for additional food for her, £ 14;.» for nursing, acd heavy sum. for medical attendnucs, among which were £\:1 to 1r. to another medical gentleman. Mrs. Beard being unable to leave her bed, hex cv\1pnCJ had boea taken by cclHmlsdon 011 Saturday last, and would be read. After hcming tho evidence. It would ba for the juiy to say how much the plaiutltls were entitled to. John Beard deposed: I am a quarrymau, and live at Pontypridd. My wife was M years at the time of the accident. We had hem mairlcd tvche years, and htd four children. On the lOfch of hy I received a telegram, and went to Mffthyr Infir- mary, where I found my wife lyifcg, with a broken Up, her brrnst blackened, "nd a plcea ef ll-^h Cilt out of one of her tdbews. She had a child with her In the train when the acoluent happened, but she cid not HlJllmber that. I went in search of the cbih1, aid found it on the road. My wuo remaiued at the infirmary two months all but two d'Y8. During that time the was attended by Mr. Bid :1l, surgeon, br.d by Mr. .1.,roIJI, Mr. Diddle has continued to atiCiid her frcm thi-t tiuiu till the pi*, s.nt. Mi". James has also attended her on one o- two occa- sions since she has been at Pontypridd, S'ae has Alio been attended by Mr. Leckle :in'e the acci- dent I have had to get extra nouri^ shment, audi as eoup, wine, and fowls, ordered by the doctors, for her. That has entailed a great expense, but I h we kept no account of it. Since her return to P >n*y- piidd I have had 8omcone to attend her. Sio has to; been out of bed rim*?, oxcapt for a few minutes when the bed was made; her leg swells and Rets 1 blhck. Ove of the four children wa-» born ft fort- night after the ROJldent The extra nursing has erst IL0 a good deal, but I can't wy how much. Both lHU .os live d In tho hou^e with we, and took all their food there, from tho tlnc "he returned heme till thl. mcnitut. When she W8 removed to Pontypridd I had to pay for a curh?", Btfore the accident she was a healthy, strong person, quite alwayp. >, 1'1 L- 1U --l. 1_ in croB8exmlt)ø.t:oD, be paid no (lid now Know exactly what thae matters had cost him. Re had confidence In Mr. Blddle, tlu Infirmary surgeon, who had attended her ever since. She was if:- n oved because she was not contented there, She had everything necearary while tbre. What ha meant about not reinembering about the d1ild W8 that she did not know where the child was. Mr. Lrckie was called in a short thno niter she oawe home. Ho could not remember when he first went to his attorneys about this matter. Did no, kùw whether it war. by their advice that he sent for rr. ieckle. He 5150 called in Dr. Jones lait month. That was at the suggestion of hl-i attorneys. Or. Davits also saw her, and aodid J Jr. Lee, and so did Dr. D&vJes, of Aberdaro. Mr. Williams observed that these were the doc- tors for the company Mr. Powell was now getting on to another 6tH\!tHU. Witness, In answer to further questions, said he had not paid any d thlse,:octùrPan¡ money, Ul r.ot kept any acsount of what he paid for win 3. Had the «eups made at home, and could aot remem- her what these cost. He used to send out for a bottle cf wine [is it was wanted, and had paid as much as ;'3 and 3s 'Jd a bottlo. Had p-iid for gom9 of it with ready money, and part of It was credit. The nurse who attended his wife had a daughter as big as herself, and she slept in tho house* Had never arranged with the nurse what she was to have. Had paid her some sums of money, and if he were at home ho could tell nearly how much. That alo applied to the nurse who attended the children, and who was more than ;;0 years old. Oa previous ocmplonp, when hla wife was confined, his friends would come In, so he had not paid much then. The evidence of Mrs. Beard was then read, to the effect described by Mr. Williams. John Beard, recalled, aid that Dr Davles, of John Beard, 1%-illiams, of Pintypwl; tind Dr. Aberdare; Dr. Williams, of Pontypool; and Dr, Lawrence, of Pontypool, saw her on behalf of the company. In answer to Mr. Powell, he declined to say whether he had brought another action against the 1 company. He admitted that the Merthyr lijird of Guardians had claimed from him £J for his wif j's attendance in the infirmary, and that the company had paid It. To tir. Williams he said that the child, who was with his wifo, was also Injured. lIIr. Cornelius Bid-He, surgeon, of Merthyr, de- posed that on the liith of ilby, be øaw 1>1rs Head at his surgery, and made an I'xa11llntlo!\ of her. She had a compound commlruted fracture of tho leg, near the ankle joint. She was very excited anei much depressed. She was removed from the surgery to the infirmary, and the log was set there. He had continued to attend her till the present time. Used to visit her at Merthyr two or three times daily before her continemcnt. This continued nearly two months. She seemed going on very favourably until she left. After her removal, her condition was not ao favourable, Sho occasionally had attacks of erysipelas. He super- intei-ded her remcvul, and apprehended no danger ficiuit. Two or three small pieces of bone had oeme away from her ley since her removal, That was what he called dead bone; and he considered that more dead bone must come away before the injury would heal. Siuoe the accident she had not been able to leave her bed, except to be put on a chair with assistance, while the bed was md", Several trials had bo^n made as to whether sho really could get up. and he thought those trials had not done her any good. In six months hnee she might be b?. ty et up for pR.t of the day, and In another six months she might get up for the whole of the day. The probabilities were that she wonld recover the use of her leg, but that was not a certainty. Witness's charge was £ 91, In cross examination, he said his ordinary chargo for attending a working-man a wife was 2i (jJ. a visit. He now lived 12 miles from her. While at the Infirmary she was there as a private Indi. vldual. lIe had charged 2os a visit for attending this woman; but had not brought his book, because of its size, though he had put it on the table before coming away, thinking it might be wRut3d, Ho had visited her Dr; times, at 25s a time. He lived at Pontypridd. There were doctors there, whi might have charged her 2a Gd a visit if they had been called tn, Had never charged 25, a visit for attending any other working-man'a wife, His was a home practice, and had been in business on his own account two or three years, In cross-examination, he said he alone attended her for four days after the injury, and then Dr. James, of Merthyr, saw her, in consultation with himself. The woman objected to the removal of the bones, and nature had since removed the u. Hed he been allowed to open the leg, he wo d have removed the bones "t once. Had that b, done, she might perh&ps have been well by this Hili". She had every attention In the Infirm try. He thought she might have done better there than elsewhere. He Wall invited to meet Dr. L\wrenco and Dr. Williams, and then met Dr, LeJkie there i( r nJO r>t tin.e. On F,Id?y 1lt he had --t Dr. Da-'£' thre. and Dr, Kvan Jone., of Ab»rd-Mf<>. "I" Dr, L< "kle.

If her leg should remain had nrupntaltc.n would bo necessary, and thero w, :10 I' fslWity of that. Witness's charge wes tZU, 111- cluding £:, ':s for two visits to Pontypridd. In crcis ejaminatlen he said he charged ,8 lid or Kis (ill, 1,0 could not remember which, for oach time feeuw her before the ;)Olh of May. He had not been Laid. Could not remember whether amputa tien bad ever been resorted to when nature did rot eiiieharge dead bone in case of compound com- minuted fracture. IIIr, Job. Lindsay Leckie, surgeon, deposed that he was called In to lIlrs. Beard on the !I:h of No. vember. Ejamlned her leg, which waa recovering fiom the (fleet of compound communal fracture. There wes a wound external to the fracture, and ihe was ccmplalning of pain In her foot, which was much swollen. Had attended her ever since, and law her that morning. Her leg was then much in 1 he sarre state, She had had erysipelas twice ilrcehe bad attended her, and had told him she lad (pat up blood. The wound waa still in the kg, but was slightly altered In position. She surred to bo In a neivoua state. Witness's charge ,1.:42. In crots examination ho said his charge wai is 1,, rI?it. The kt2 included medicine.

Evan Jenes, snrgeon, of Aberdare, who had seen Dirs.

He thonght it would bo seme years bofore she recovered the use of that leg, and that even then she would be lame, In eros.(Xaminatiûn. witness said he attended the (.a. as an impartial gentleman. thhí h:n}:I: 1ltill' ¡ Dr, Williams. of Pontypool; Dr, Davles, 01 Aber- dare and Mr. Lawrence, Burge" of Pjntypool, were in attendance to give evidence for defendants, but were not Mr. Williams submitted that the evidenca of the roclcol gertiemen who had been called on behalf of the plaintiff was uncontradicted and that If tho three gentlemen, who had seen the woman on tIL3 rart of the company had differed in oplu'.on, Mr. Powell would have called them. He argued that the wiman had been most seflcusly injured, and asled the jury rot to be led away by ths el jqujnc? of Mr. Ilowcfl, who would, perhaps, tell them that she was net entitled to compensation. Blr. Powell replied that ho must co;rect his learned friend, for he did not Intend to say that the wemar was not entitled to compensation. She had no dcubt been injuud, and was entitled to reason able ccmprmat.len, but not to such an exorb-.tiut or extravagant amount aB was too often claimed frcm railway eorupanlBs because thy wore nil vay cenipanics. Ho argued that if the woman refused to a l low cn operation which wou l d, according to the sdmission of her own medical attendants, haee rciulud In her cure in three months, tho com!)11\ were not- to be held liable for that. Ho aID plntJ;1 ont that, instead of sending for he own aedical attendnnt who ordinarily att.en<1ecl 11ft In her confinements, another doctor was called in, and that a medlesl man who lived ;It.
