-- and although the, great demand for steam launches in Canton and its vicinity has to a material extent cleared the field here of a powerful opposition for months past, it was still the general Impression that the Steam Launch Company had done but little more than pay expenses of running, in addition to setting aside an adequate allowance, for depreciation of property, That far better results have actually been achieved will come in the light of an agreeable surprise to many shareholders, to whom anything in the shape of a dividend will be regarded as a boon at the present time-presuming, of course, that the inference we have drawn from the law-suit referred to above accurately indicates the true state of affairs, and that the Company has in fact earned more money than it knows what to do with. To justify this inference, a brief explanation
will suffice..

The abdomen was full of blood. The spleen, of normal size, was ruptured which caused hemorrhage of the spleen. Tac body was healthy in all respects. with the exception of the bruise and disorders caused thereby. The left lung showed signs of an old attack of pleurisy. The rupture of the spleen appeared to have been of no considerable age. But for the rupture the man might have live a considerable time. The rupture may have been caused by a heavy blow or kick. The rupture may have been caused by a kick from such boots as the prisoner is now wearing.

On the night of the 22nd of April last the Company's launch Patience ran down a sampan that was riding at anchor near the Douglas wharf, overturning it and causing the death of a youth of 17 years, the son of the owner of the craft. The day after the collision the bereaved parent sent in a modest claim to the Steam Launch Company for the loss of his son, assessing damages at what seems, apart altogether from the question of liability, the very reasonable sum of $200. This claim was apparently repudiated by the Board of Directors, on doubtless what seemed to them at the time sufficient grounds, and the plaintiff thereupon sought legal advice and his remedy in an action at law, which $1.00 with astonishing rapidity increased the original demand of $200 to $995. Lawyers, like other laborers, must live, and it 1.25 is

One thing was certain from the commencement, namely, that the Launch Co. had absolutely 1.25 no legal defence which gave them any hope of success, so that the only question really at issue was the measure of damages.
