PIER DAMAGE,

(Continued from Page 1.)

These logs were imminently danger- ous articles and were in a public place, and it was, therefore, the duty of per- sans having control of them to keep, them innocuous so far as core can do sa. This was in the circumstances the defendant's positive duty under the common law. Having notice of the ap- proach of a particular and serious danger, it was further the defendant's | duty to excrciae particular care in anti- cipation of it.

It was agreed for the plaintiff that no want of due care was shown by the defendant prior to 12 midnight on August 21, nor yat after 9 a.m. on August 22, but it was contended that the inactivity of the defendant be- tween these hours after warnings re. ceived, both public and private, when after the breakdown of defendant's crane, it would still have been possible to arrange for the removal of the logs to a place of safety, constitutes negit gence, which entitles the plaintiff to succeed.

After consideration, I adopt this con- tention and my judgment is given for the plaintiff for cialm and costs

Mr. Rendall asked for a stay of exe cution pending consideration of appeal! His Lordship: Will you, pay into Court?

Mr. Rendali: Is it necessary, my Lord?

His Lordship:-Yes.

This Mr. Rendall agreed to do and hie Lordship mado an order giving a stay of execution for one month con- ditionally upon defendant paying the amount of claim and costa into Court within six days.
