| TRONIER v. FRY. The Hinton Coach Accident. This was an action in which Joachim August Tronier, picture dealer, of Balmain, sought to recover from Henry Fry, mail coach contractor, of Maitland, the sum of £500 as compensation for injuries received, and damages done to goods and luggage in a coach accident at the Hinton Ferry, in May last. Mr. W. H. Mullen appeared for the plaintiff, and Dr. R. M. Sly, instructed by Mr. R. A. Young, for the defendant, who denied all liability. The following gentlemen formed the jury: -Messrs. Joseph Cunningham, John Lee, William Snape, and George Brown. The plaintiff stated that on Monday, May 2nd. he left Dungog for Maitland in the defendant's coach. He had seven large pictures in Indian ink which he had exhibited at the Dungog Show, and other goods in connection with his work as a picture dealer and teacher of drawing, besides some personal effects. It was three o'clock in the afternoon when the coach left Dungog. The witness gave a detailed evidence of the journey. At Brookfield the reins fell between the horses' legs, but nothing occurred, and it was proof that the driver was careless and the reins were too short. They drove to Hinton Post office, and the coach was being turned round when the wheels struck a culvert in the roadway, causing the driver to be thrown out. It was nine o'clock in the evening. The lamps were all alight, and the road was perfectly clear. The driver took the reins with him when he fell over. The horses bolted, plaintiff shouting loudly for assistance. The animals rushed madly for the river, and plaintiff, who was in the box seat, thought that the gates would be shut at the ferry where the punts crossed. Unfortunately, the gates on the punt were open, and as a last resource plaintiff jumped from the coach on to the punt, hurting himself severely. He struck his head, strained his hip, and his foot caught in the wheel. The coach went over into the river, Mrs. Cross and child, who were inside the coach; being drowned. Dr. Block, who who was also inside, swam ashore, and when plaintiff saw him landing, he knew that the woman and child were drowned. The three horses were drowned, and next day witness recovered his property. The seven pictures, which were worth £3 1s each, were ruined, and some personal luggage, worth £6, was also spoilt. He further lost an overcoat. There was plenty of room for the driver to have turned the coach without striking the culvert, as there was a roadway 19ft. 17in. wide. There was another passenger on the box seat, but he jumped off shortly after the horses bolted. Plaintiff was laid up for a week in Maitland, and could not follow his work for a month. By Dr. Sly : There was a buggy just in front of the coach going over the culvert. The plaintiff was cross-examined at length. He stated that he made £720 per year, of which his business cost £300. Dr. P..A. Bennett, of Morpeth, stated that on the night in question he was in his buggy at Hinton. He saw the coach, and while driving along the road he heard someone shouting. A moment afterwards the coach dashed past, and witness knew that the horses had bolted. It was a very dark night, and had rained previously, but with his lamps alight he could see the road distinctly. Sergeant Thomas Forest, of East Maitland; deposed that he was at Hinton on the day of the accident, and with the plaintiff he examined a culvert near the post office. He saw the marks of a wheel on the edge of the culvert. Dr. S. A. Alcorn, of East Maitland; stated that he had examined the plaintiff after the coach accident. The left thigh was bruised on the outer side, and witness told him that he would have to lie up for ten days. At the end of that time he would have been all right. Witness did not see the man again. This closed the ease for the plaintiff. James Brereton, driver of the coach, stated that he had been driving the mail for a year and eight months. He had been employed by the defendant for several years, and had been among horses all his life. He had never had an accident before the 2nd of May. The horses were quiet, and witness did not drink. He denied that the reins got under the horses' feet during any part of the journey, excepting at Seaham, where the leading reins got over the leading bar. At Hinton he saw a buggy on the road, the night being dark. He pulled to his right side, and then felt a jerk. He was thrown out, and the horses bolted into the river, causing the accident. On the next day witness examined the culvert, and found that it was grown with grass, and there was no ballast on the logs. After being thrown out the witness ran after the coach and reached the punt very soon after the plaintiff jumped off. Witness saw him, and he said, "Never mind, you are not to blame." The plaintiff received his bag and goods, and he never made any complaint. Henry Fry, son of the defendant, gave the driver of the coach a good character. Witness called on the plaintiff after the accident, and he said that he was not hurt much. He never said anything about an overcoat. James M'Carthy, hotelkeeper at Hinton, gave evidence as to seeing the horses bolt and hearing the plaintiff shouting out for help. Witness heard the plaintiff say that he did not blame the driver. The plaintiff (recalled) said that he was wearing the overcoat on the coach, and when the horses bolted he took it off. He told the driver and also the defendant's son that it was gone. The evidence given by the plaintiff at the inquest was handed in. In one place the plaintiff said, "The driver was sober, and is a good careful man." After being addressed by Dr. Sly, Mr. Mullen, and the Judge, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for £3, the value of the personal luggage, and found specially that there had been no negligence. His Honour refused to certify for costs. This concluded the business, and the Court was adjourned sinc dic.
