Justice Shu delivered a judgment of importance at Chri.stehurcli yesterday. It was a case in which UoHw?rt Ambrose Johnston claimed compensation from -\mbrnso Jolmskm, his father, by whom he was employed. The plaintiff, while driving a cart belonging to his father, ivas struck in the eye by a pellet from :i pun fired by a boy.' The Court believed that the shot was' intentional, and not accidental, as was eworn by the boy- '1 lie question was whether the injury sustained by the plaintiff was caused by an accident arising out of and in coiufie of his employment by tho defendant. The Court he'd that tho risk of being injured by a shot Ifred by a mischievous boy could not be, regarded as incidental to the occupation of a driver, since it was a risk common to r.,11 members of the community when traveling D-long a highway. Judgment was given for the defendant, with costs. To a Good Use.—ln Paris a well-known French, actor became involved in a discussion with an American visitor, grew heated, drew a card from his pocket, throw it on the table with a tragic air, and stalked out.
