VIII. Declaration against a Railway Company for leaving the Door of a Carriage open, whereby the Leg of the Plaintiff's Wife was broken.

On the 5th day of November, A.D. 1846. H-H-and Elizabeth, his wife, the plaintiffs in this suit, by W-F--, their attorney, complain of the E-FRailway Company, the defendants in this suit, who have been summoned to answer the plaintiffs in an action on the case. For that whereas the said company, before and at the time of the committing of the grievances hereinafter mentioned, were the owners and proprietors of a certain railway, called, to wit, the E-F— Railway, and of certain carriages used by them for the carriage and conveyance of passengers, cattle, goods and chattels, in, upon, and along the said railway, from a certain place, to wit, L-, to a certain other place, to wit, C—, in the county of E- and from the said last-mentioned place, to wit, C— aforesaid, to L- - aforesaid, for hire and reward to them the company in that

behalf; and the company being owners and proprietors of the said railway and the said carriages for the purpose aforesaid, the plaintiffs, heretofore and before the committing of the grievances hereinafter mentioned, and before the commencement of this suit, to wit, on the 31st day of June, A.D. 1846, at the request of the company, became and were passengers in one of the carriages of the said company, to be by them safely and securely carried and conveyed thereby on a certain journey, to wit, from R, in the county of E-, to Laforesaid, and to be put down at one of the usual stations or stoppingplaces of the trains of the said company, to wit, at M-E- station there,

for certain reasonable reward to the company in that behalf; and the company
then received the plaintiffs as such passengers as aforesaid, and thereupon it
became and was the duty of the company to use due and proper care, diligence,
and skill, in and about the carrying and conveying the plaintiffs on the said
journey, and in and about the setting down, depositing, and putting down the
plaintiffs at the end of their said journey at the usual station and place of the
stopping for the said trains at M-E- as aforesaid, and in the management

of the train of carriages, in one of which the plaintiff Elizabeth-
was a pas-
senger as aforesaid, after the said plaintiff should have gotten out of the said
carriage; yet the company, not regarding their duty in that behalf, did not nor
would use due and proper care, diligence, and skill in and about the carrying
and conveying of the plaintiffs on their said journey, and in and about the
putting down the plaintiffs at the end of their said journey as aforesaid, to
wit, at M-E- as aforesaid, but took so little care, and so negligently and
unskilfully conducted themselves, in and about carrying and conveying the
plaintiffs on their said journey, and in and about the putting down the plaintiffs at
the end of their said journey there, to wit, at the M-E station as afore-
said, and in conducting, managing, and directing the train of carriages, in one of
which the plaintiff Elizabeth was such passenger as aforesaid, after the said
plaintiff Elizabeth had gotten out of the said carriage, and the engine thereof,
whereby the said train was drawn upon and along the company's said railway,
that, by reason of such want of care, diligence, and skill of the company, the
door or flap of one of the said carriages was carelessly and negligently left open
by the servants of the said company, and the said train being too hastily and
carelessly and improperly moved on and propelled by the engine attached
thereto by the servants of the said company, while the said door or flap of the
said carriage remained open as aforesaid, and before a reasonable time had
elapsed to allow the plaintiff Elizabeth to walk a reasonable and safe distance
from the said carriage, the plaintiff Elizabeth, by reason of the moving on of
the said train as aforesaid, was then, to wit, on the day aforesaid, struck by a
portion of the said carriage in its motion, and thereby then thrown and cast with
great force and violence against the wall of the said railway, and on the ground
thereof, and was then grievously bruised, wounded, and injured, and one of her
legs then became broken and crushed; and also, by means of the premises, the
plaintiff Elizabeth became and was very sick, weak, and disordered, and
remained and continued so weak and disordered for a long time, to wit, from
the time of the committing of the grievances hereinbefore mentioned hitherto,
during which time she suffered great pain, and anguish of mind and body, and
was obliged and compelled to have her said leg cut off, amputated and removed,
to the damage of the said H- H-, and Elizabeth his wife, of 20007.,
and thereupon they bring suit, &c.
