The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff against the defendant Myson, with £351 damages, and exonerated the defendant, Pratt. His Lordship entered judgment for the plaintiff against the defendant Myson, and for the second defendant against the plaintiff, directing that the costs which the plaintiff would be liable to pay to the second defendant should be added to those which the defendant Myson was liable to pay to the plaintiff, and be paid by him.

HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE (ENGLAND). KING'S BENCH DIVISION. CHARLTON v. MYSON AND ANOTHER. (Before Darling, J., and a Special Jury.) Action against separate defendants—Verdict for plaintiff against one defendant, and for other defendant against plaintiff — Costs. Mrs. Mary Charlton sued the defendants, C. J. Myson, a taxicab proprietor, and J. Pratt, a coal merchant, to recover damages for personal injuries received by her owing to the negligence of the servants of the two defendants. The defendants denied negligence. The plaintiff's case was that on the evening of February 6, 1913, she was driving along the Knightsbridge Road in a taxicab belonging to the first defendant when the taxi cab came into collision with a coal van belonging to the second defendant and an island or refuge in the road, with the result that the plaintiff was thrown out of the back seat of the taxi- cab against the glass screen and injured. Evidence was given on behalf of the plaintiff to prove that the servants of both defendants were guilty of negligence in driving their vehicles. The case of each defendant was that the accident was due to the negligence of the servant of the other.
