. stteb ponton oaly of the street aa to leare a sullicient pauage for the public. That the Appellant did not take
■aeeasary precaution, and that it was by his own fault and negHgence the mischief was dona him, becauae he waa
at the lima eoaducliog a fiery and unruly horse, ■• digged fimgueux," and might hare aToidcd the diaaater by
ordinary oare. Eritknce baring been adttuocd by thu riaintitf and Intervening parlies, it was caa<i«ntcd to by the
DtfendBats, that llie said arideaee should be considered as taken against them exnart6. After this, Ihe causa
being argued on the merits, Ihe final judgment rendered in (be Court below was in these terms:—" The Court
, "considering that the plaintiff halb failed to eslabli>>hin evidence the malerinl allegations of his declaration, more
" partieularlf that it was by Ihe fault and negligence of the Delend:ints, that the properly of the Plaintltf was
" destroyed in ibe manner by biin complained of, and considering on the contrary that it is fully proved lo ctidenea
" that the injury to the properly auj person ul'tlie I'lalntilT, which forms Ihe subject matter of this suit, was
"caused by the running away of his horse, occanioned, as far as Ihe evidence accounts for the atroe, by the
" Flaialiff'a vehicle coming into collision with another carriaite then pauing in Ihe girert, doth dismiss tba
" PtaintilTs action with costs, and on motion to that effect ditlractiom de Jrais is awarded to U. Teaaier, JElaquire,
" the Attorney wf Ibe said Uefendanla."
Ihia judgment of which Ihe Appellant now complains he believes to be erroneous as to tbe bet oa whieh
it parpottt to be based, and as to Ihe law ; and also to be contradielory in its motives and reasoat, coalradictory
iaasmueb as it stales that Ihe Appellant has failed to establish in ecidence Ihe material alie|alions of hit
daelaratioo, because it was fully proved that the injury which gave ri<>e to tbe damage suiTered by bim was
CMsed by Ihe running away uf bu'horse, ocrasioned by his coming in eolliiion with another carriage then passing
la Ibe street, while this is in reality one of the material allegations of the Appellant's declaration and is also
preeiaely tbe fact which the judgment asserts was fully proved, though, at the same time it also declares tha
Material allegations of this declaration not lo luve been proven : again erroneous ia fact aad in law, because it
declares that it was not established that the accident that happened to tbe Appellant was occasioned by tha
fault aad negligence of tbe Ue^ipondenls, whieh the Appellant submits was an iororrecl conclusion arrived alaa
to tba fact for want of a right appreciation of the law respecting evidence, and Ihe legitimate prasamplioo to ba
drawn from it wbereby focis come to be sufficiently established.
It appears to the Appellants, Ihe main enquiry in Ibe cause is this ; is Ibe evidence which has beaa adduced
(uSeiant in law to entitle bi.n to have the casualty by which be suffered imputed to the acta aad defaulla of Iba
Reapoadents t and this enquiry necessarily leads to the consideration of what amount of testimony tba law
exacts of the Appellant to establish that the mischief done bim was caused by the fr ilt of the Respondents, ao
as to reader tbam responsible for tbe injories which attended upon and followtd locb faults.
If some of tbe ariteesses had deposed one way and others tbe contrary ; if Ihe testimony on either side as
to Ihe cause of the disaster bad evinced discrepancy, Ibe ease under inresligaiioo would have been one of greater
difficulty ; and taking it even as it presents iiself, with but few contradictions in Ihe statements of tbe wilaessas
it is still not by a batty off-band perusal of tbe record and Ihe assuming of the facts at issue one way or the
other that tbe litigant partiet are likely lo obtain justice, but such n desirable end is only lo be attained by a
careful and minute consideration of the entire evidence and by patient investigation and comparison of all the
circumstances of the case ; it is by these means only that the Court, holding the scales of justice, will be enabled
to form a correct estimate upon the qutaliog, ia wboie (wot dot* Ihe balance of Ibe eridtnce weigh t and such

darkaess of the shade eautef! by the pile, iihich slones necessarily must hare exposed vehicles lo peculiar daager
at night, and will readily account for the collision of ihe carriages which took place tlien ; and wliat will further
indicate the cause of it is, Ibat Ibis part of the street, u staled in the evidence, was unevra and iaeliniag
towards tha side Airthest from Ihe pile, that is, to the right side af Ihe atrcet entering the city, and as Ilia
Appellant was at Iba time approaching the city be was correctly on thia, tha lower side, and thus tha vebicla
with which be came into collMjo would be naturally driven upon bin, not from any fault, but as wall from that
carriage being on the higher side as from tlie neceiaity under which the driver was pheed to avoid these alone*
in his own front.
Then again it will be seen that this stats of the street was brought under the notice of the member* and
officers of the Corporation, sod that it could not, as the wilnetses depose, but ba known to them, and in fact, that
ignorance of it, as before remarked, is not pretended by the Rasiiondents, and even if it were, and in raalil
existed, such ignorance would have been Inexcusable, Ihemfore, the carelessness and indiffvrence of iL
Respondents, both the Intervening parties and Ihe Defendants in the Court below to the public weal, far whie^
alone tlie latter were created a Corpoistion, is manifosl, and it may here be remarked that although ihe parly,
committing the nuisance may be considered, perhaps, more culpable than the other who but suiTers and permits
its continuance, still boib these are before the Court agreeing that the damages to be obtained by the Appellant
against tba Defendants shall br borne by the intervening |<ai lies ; they go hand in band, they deny their liability,
and pray that not they, but tba Appeliant bimielf may be held to have been the cause of tba injury which ha
sustained.
Tha evidence abo discloses the fact that, immediately following this accident these stones which the
Appellant complains of as being the cause of the collisinn, and which the Respondents contend were
rijililly in the street and in no wise contributed to the Appellant's misfortune, were by themselves removed, and
the street was then put in proper condition, but that Dot until that late period was Ibis done altbougb great
inconvenience had been, up to that moment, occasioned Ihe' public, accidents, more or less annoying, repeatedly
taking place even in the day time, and the matter had been uuiversally looked upon aad talked of as a perfeot
nuisance, while continued complaints had been made and it bad become matter of wonder that such a state of
things was suffered to exist. It was, notwithstanding nil this, as the witnesses Robert Paroell and Alexander
Farquhar depose, not until afte<- the accident had taken place which brought upon the Appellant the destnictiott
of bis bona and carriage and the very utar loss of his own aad bis sister's lives Ibat lbs Respondents thought it .
advisable lo yield obedience to tbe laws; and now they desire to escape the consequence* of their previous
continued criminal neglect of duly by inducing tbe Court to believe the accident was not occssiooed by tbair
(aak, and this, because it may be jioiaible the collision which caused it night have taken phice bad they not baaa
in fault, aad because it was, perhaps, pouible for two carriages to have passed each other without collision in tba
then eonditioa of tha street.
The Appellant however coatends that the question is not whether such a thing wai within the range of
poHibility, but is rather, waa there a sufficient passage left, such as the law contemplated and enjoined should be
left, for the convenienee and safety of the public I Had tbe citizens that protection afforded them by means of
fanee and light which tbe Legisbture prescribed / Bid the accident occur at the spot where the injunctions of
the law in these resoects were violated, and does the evidence disclose a prima fucie p'-oof of the accident
haring bean caused by the deticiency of the pa«sage and the other iufringements of the law nC »hif-l, the AnnelUx);

It ia tb* ofliee of the Judge to determine the value and tffect of such evidence, as it ia also bis duljr to

lartffMl'tke fMe<lt«f more than half the street ; tlie inr.umbrence, I cnnsidered rery dangerous in the Way 1^

ioModialely after the accii^nt at Mr. Bitkell's grocery shop, tlie house nenrr-l "t. Jolni's <■»!« inside ; h" Ud.*-

kiH* «l Uitlirdny iiibt afler the PhhWiiTs wboftdi'biid bi'en dressed 1 returned Io. my shop, but as Mr. Bernier
M leM kn bat i lent bin mine j the neat day, Sunday, I visited the spot where I uoderstood the first cause of
tbe aceiieat to be^ and found the obstructions I huvo uieoiioned above, still tlieie' ; J had a tnpe line with me and
■MHttted the^batruolion opposite .Mafoi'l said hodse.aiitt'lli* gap Vdirtunce between the said obstruction and,
ttenrnpat upon tbe opposite side of tlie street.'and t fd'ftnd life disMnce between the outside of the ob#truoHorJ
WhiM Ibe stones lay and the parapet on the Soulh side lobe fifteen feet, so that tliere was only fifteen feet of* the
iMdforrehielea to pnau upon. From tbe outside of the incumbrmice to llie parapet on the north side there were
•iMteea 1^, lk*l« might hare been n lew inches one way ot the other, but as llial parapet was covered witir
nibhiab I eouM m>t l*kelh»« distance as eiHclly as tlie oilier, however, fiow my measurement I made out that*
lb«r« were feur feet more lliaa half Ibe ' road incuinbereil by the sa(d buiUing materials'; I made a ineioorandum
af tMKallheJiiae.' From what I aaw .ol the rood I do not think ih«t two vehicles could pass cacli other on ■
darl-malit Miily ; two waggon* could not. Tbe night of Mf. Bai row's accident was a very dark ni^bt. 4
ntawed tbe stiol agmg on Monday, when I found it dilTi-renl, some of the stones and been reniored and therr*"
«»M more apace ia the gap for vehicles to pass. There were then nearly seventeen feet clear; I bare the cxict
distaaee oatSi roei^^randum which I looked at yeMerday ; I havi! ooi it now with me but I am pesitif e as to
tba measurement. I measured the above it the request ot tlio Plaiiitirs brotlier who aecompanled me when »
M it • he held the end of the tape. No part of the street opposite Marois'a house was enclosed by a fence ; the
first nieasuremeni I made un Sunday ni^hi after the a'ccideni ; there was no light then upon the said incumbrance
but «a« over tbe fMvway of >.be adioioinj building.
Cfim SxamiM«d.--U waa with a tape line I measiirid ; Mr. Kdmmd Barrow assisted me. 1 measured
Ibt abHrMlioa in sereral places. The narrowest part of tbe gop was fifteen feel, aootbev place was fifteen feet
•iM iaebes and In a third place a difference of a few inchest the obstruetibn from which I llien measured was
aloae • the pile of bricks oatended to about half tbe street. 1 am not positive whether the tape wis English or
FrMHdt measure, but I believe it woa English. It wa^ dark when 1 made the measurement ; we bad to go to tbft
aaa Jamp to tee the figures on the tape, and after reiii.ning from the light I went back to the spot ta verify my
• iMaMirement, wlich 1 Co nU to bo correct; (I have just returned from getting my l»i^). it is an Ivnglisb
maasureacnt I bare just tried it wilh a foot rule. When I went out on tlie following Monday Io reroeatiire the-
eatent of Ihe gap m question it was dark, but not so dark as on the Saturday. I was accompanied upon both
oeeaiioaiby tlmtamo person, inat is, the Plaintiff s brother ; I tlt.l not measure tbe width of the street between
tiM oarapels hul it is one of the widest streets in the locality. I do not know the ordinary width of a waggon
butm driving we ordinarily look for sixteen feet for two ordioafy vehicles. Question.— In the early part of
Norember last had you occasion to go out several liule^ io dt. John s st eel. Answer.— I l»d. I might within

said bouse. Sometimes ii was more o' less blocked up ; but .1 oftea Mw that it was impossible for two boraea
aad vehicles to pass abreast, and sometimes those coming one way had to wait for those coming in tbe contrary
diriwiioa, that is when they were earling stones, 1 am certain that oae half of tbe street at least was bioeked
up, at times there was more. This w«s at the latter time, about tbe end of October, when they were cutting or
preparieg tbe large stones for the top of the bouae. I beard my neighbonrs complaining of tbe atate of the
street at tbe timt, I only beard of Mr. Barrow's aecideat soma three days after it occurred. There was no
feact to enclose tbe building materials.

that is, to put new wood where it was broken, to repair the iron which was broken and straighten it where itwns.

Ormt-ExamMtL -St. Joba'a Straal, without, is ooa of the broadest streets in this City. If there was ao
'' eaeuaibrane'R <n the street oppoaila .Maraia\ haU'ia L thinic that four horses and wagKons could pas* abreast, that
' isbelwaMt tUatwo parapets. I paced Iba. si(«Kt myself bull du not now racoltact Iha number of paeet. Isignad
the memorandum that Mr. Adair made, and 1 am sura what be said was eofMot. Wa oaljr paced the street, we
did not make ase of any iastrmaant toaseerlaia tlie aiact width. Ithtaktbe large sloae of which Ihare alraody
' spoken aiteadad three or (bur feat heyoadlba pUa of bricks. Tba house Of wbtcb ! have spoken as adjoiaiag
' Marois's naW builiiing is only aeparalad by a gable wall. The light of wbieb I litre spoken was imiqcdialaly
orar the gaUway Of the »»ld houaa. . ■ . i ;,. . ^^ _
Aa-Fsomt'if a/. — Tba light, so fkr as I remember, did not aslend into the street, it waaa aery poor ligbt,aa
ordinary eandla light. The night was x rery dark one and cloudy. Wa went purposely to sea if there waa any
liKht, and I am posilira there was no other tlisn the one I hate mentioned. 1 saw no watchman there and I thkik
there could bare been none as we were there smoe tunc and nu one daring anthorily came to ua or Inquired what
' we were doiac. From the examinatioa 1 made with Mr. Ad^ii* on the night in question I do not think that two
' vahiclis could hare pasaai.' one another in the gap of tiia road iNstween the said encumbrance and the parapet on
the south side of Ihe road, without danger, especially where Ibe stone was, I do not think Ibat two coul^ bare
' passed, and I am positire that a person in a rehicle eould not hare seen the atom! at that time from the darkuass
of Iha night, aad there being no hght e» Ibe pile, ia-iact I could not see it mysaif until I kicked agalaat it in
going around lo riamiaa Ibe pile and aMasure the afreet.
