A Pugilistic Tramcar Passenger: The Company’s Responsibility: At the Birmingham County Court, today, before His Honour Judge Whitcborne: an interesting action was tried which raised the question of the liability of tramway and omnibus proprietors for admitting drunken passengers into their vehicles. Plaintiff was William Hitchman of Hicks Street, builder, and the defendants were the City of Birmingham Tramway Company. Plaintiff claimed £25 damages for being assaulted in one of the company’s trams on the 1st September last by a fellow-passenger who wss drunk. Mr. Cochrane appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Milward (instructed by Messrs, Pinsent, and Co.) for the defendants. The plaintiff stated that on the 1st September last he was returning to Moseley by a late tram, into which he got at Station Street. There was only one other passenger, and they sat opposite each other close to the door. They had only gone about 100 to 150 yards when four men got in, stumbled over the plaintiff’s feet, and walked the far end of the car, where they sat down and began quarrelling. Noticing him looking them, one of the men, whose name was afterwards found to be Bartlett, shouted “What the – are you looking at?” Plaintiff made no reply. One of the men then held up a bottle and invited him to drink. He shook his head, and then Bartlett staggered down the car and struck him violently in the face with a basin wrapped in a cloth which was carrying. He asked the conductor to stop the car and got on the footboard to call a policeman. Barelet kicked him off the footboard on to the street and kicked him again when he lay in the gutter. There were no policemen about, so they got on to the car, which had waited, and went on to Camp Hill Station where they found Police Constable Benton, and he charged Bartlett with the assault … (continues) … (company not liable for an assault outside of the tram).

Birmingham Police Court: Today: Before the Stipendiary (Mr. T. M. Colmore): … Obstruction by Motor Car: A summons for obstruction was heard against Frank Lanchester, motorcar manufacturer of Lincoln’s Inn, Corporation Street. Police constable Taylor stated that on March 10^th he saw a motor car standing outside Lincol’s Inn in Corporation Street, at 6.50. A large crowd collected, and a tram pulled up. The driver stated that he could not get past. No one came to the car till ten minutes past seven, when the defendant came out of chambers. Witness told him the car had caused an obstruction and asked for his card. This, the defendant produced, and gave it to the officer together with a shilling, which, however, he declined to receive. For the defence, Mr. Smith (Messrs. Smith, Pinsent, and Co.) contended that the car itself caused no obstruction, but, if there was an obstruction, it was caused by the crowd and the defendant was not responsible for this. Defendant himself gave evidence, stating that when left the car at 6.50, and when he came out again at 7.5, there was no crowd nearby. In reply to the Stipendiary, he admitted offering the officer 1s, but he said he did this because of the trouble he had been put into. It was not with the intention of bribing him, and had he thought he would have been summoned he would not have done it. The Stipendiary remarked that it was a mistake and advised him not to do it again. Mr. Arthur Smith, solicitor, corroborated. The Stipendiary said he believed every word the police had said and thought they had given their evidence most fairly. It was clear there had been obstruction, and imposed a fine of 10s and costs …
