Jury Awards Damages Total- ling $9,325 in the Reynolds= Craig Action. A vérdict for the plaintiff award. ing a total of $9,325 damages was brought in by the jury in the Rey- nolds-Craig vs. C.P.R. case, at 8.15 o'clock Thursday night after it had been out for seven and a quarter hours. The case may be appealed. The total damages asked were $30,000; $20.000'on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. T, L. Reynolds and $10,- 000 for Mrs. Craig and Miss Janette Craig. An accident near Verona in which T. L. Reynolds lost an eye and suf- fered such other injuries as to make him 650 per cent, disability and in which Mrs. Mary Craig claimed to have suffered internal injuries, was the cause of the case. The questions submitted to the jury and the answers returned by them were: 1. Was the defendant railway company guilty of negligence cans- ing the accident? Yes. 2. If so what was that negligence? The whistle was not blown at the whistling post and the railway com- pany maintained an embankment on their property that obscured the view of a train approaching from the south. 3. Could the plaintiff T. L. Rey- nolds by exercising reasonable care have avoided the accident? Yes. 4. If so in what respects did he fail to exercise such reasonable care? He was particularly to blame in ne- glecting to ascertain the time the train was due at the crossing. §. Could the plaintiffs other than T. L. Reynolds by exercising reason- able care have avoided the accident? No. 6. The apswer to the above ques- tion made thig one of no value. 7. What damages do you award to each plaintiff? To T. L. Reynolds, $10,900; to Mrs. Reynolds, nothing; to Mrs. Mary Craig, $1,100; to Jan- ette Craig, $50. 8. If you find that the plaintiffs or any of them failed to exercisé reason- able care contributing to the accident what do you find were the degrees of fault? T. L. Reynolds, 25 per cent.; other plaintiffs, nothing; C.P.R., 75 per cent. Mr. McMurchy, counsel for the C.P.R., asked that the jury be polled. The result was that J. B. Bunt did not agree with the answer to ques- tion No. 2 that the rallway was main- taining an embankment on their pro- perty which obscured the view of an approaching train from the .south. Rupert Aylesworth did not agree that T. L. Reynolds could" have avolded the accident. Henry Breathwait did not agree that the railway company maintained a bank on their property which obscured a view of approach- ing trains.

L. Reynolds could | have 'avoided the accident. Mr. Justice Grant pointed out that | while some of the jurors were not agreed on some of the questions, they were all agreed that the railway was i! 75 per cent liable. The. counsel for the rallway com- pany intimated that an appeal would be made when he sald that he had known of new trials under such cir DAILY BRITISH WHIG = cumstances and he %ad no doubt that he would appear in another court.
