OHT BUILETIiI. BIGHTS OF TRAVELERS. '«H©Bfl OCTBA6E BY 4 WW>V«W» AND DRIVER. Colored People on Passenger Cars. Nisi Prius— JusticeThompson.—Addison Posterand Annie Foster, his wife, vs. The Phils, and Gray’s Ferry Passenger Rail way Company —This was an action brought <to recover damages for injuries sustained "by Mrs. Foster, a colored woman, in being Sicked from a car of the defendants on the .17th cl August, 1865. The ease differs from others of the same ■claso tried in thiß court, owing to the beha vior of the conductor and driver towards the -plaintiff and her companion. The case on the part of the plaintiff was as follows: Mary Jane Johnson.—l live in Baltimore, IMd.; was in Philadelphia, August 17,1865; •was visiting Mrs. Foster; on the evening of • the 17th of July I was on Pine street at 7 • o’clock; Mrs. F., lives in Addison street, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth; I was /going with her to her home and a car came .'along; I stopped the oar by holding up my - /.hand, and we got in; no objection was made; the conductor was standing on the back platform; farthest from the horses, where, 'the conductor generally stands; we both popped into the body of the car and /.sat down; we sat there about five minutes .•before the conductor came in and asked for -our fare; conductor came in and took our fare; X gave him fifteen cents; no change -• was received; nothing was said about change; we got in between Ninth and Tenth streets; •■ conductor, after taking our money, went on to the platform; some passengers in the car / said, “There were niggers inthe car;’’ con eductor .then came up and said, “You are triggers, you will have to get out on the ..platform;” this was about a square after having taken our fare; I told him'no; we • had paid our fare, and wouldn’t get out on the platform; he said he would stop "the car; the car was stopped about five minutes; he .. said he would run the car off the traok; the driver said we will take you to the depot ■and-white wash and slash you; th'e conductor - stood at the one door and some ope at the -either; don’t know who it was; a white lady was going to get ont, and Mrs. Fisher at .-tempted to get out at the same time, and I “tried to follow Mrs. Fisher: the conductor pushed us back in a rough manner, and’ - would not let us go out; the white lady got - -out as the car stopped. Question —What do you mean—that he took hold of you? Answer —He pushed us back in the car; we were inside and went towards the door, -and he told us to go back; the niggers . should not go out; the car then went on; next a lady and gentleman opposite to Mrs. . JFoster started to go out and beckoned her -to follow; the conductor did not see this; . Mrs. Foster went to the door when the con ductor put his arm across the door; Mrs. Foster pushed her way past him and got on the platform, and just as she got on the plat . form he kicked her off and pushed me baok, and would not let me go oil; he took me to the depot and Mrs, Foster followed on the sidewalk; I tried to get out and they would : not let me; the oar stopped at the depot and they left me sitting there and said they had further to go; the conductor said so; 1 was -•sitting in the car when Mrs. Foster got there; she had followed the car out; I did not know where I was as I was astranger in the city. Mr. W. D. Hirst, Jr., objected to testi mony in regard to what occurred in the depot. Judge Thompson, (to Mr, Goforth)—Yon know this is an action against the company for its mediations. Unless you can show ' that the company had a regulation direct ing the driver and conductor to maltreat the passengers, this testimony would not be proper. If this was an action against the ■ conductor and driver—if I had this driver and conductor before me, I would make them remember it as long as they lived, but they «-nunot commit outrages in the name of tbt company. _ M' Goforth—The broad principle that the rtnaster is answerable for the acts of his agents in anything that pertains to the busi ness of the master has been by the Supreme •Court so far extended as to make a com pany responsible for the acts of conductors -and drivers when they are acting as driver and conductor in and about the business of the company. Hr this case after the trip was done, their hiring by the company was _ just as much a fact as before, and anything ” they might do was just as much a part of the companies’ duties as when the car was •on the Btreet. Justice Thompson—l can’t agree with you. Mr. Goforth—l offer to prove the continua tion of the acts of this conductor and this driver, in and about the car of the defend -ant, after the car had reaohed the depot, and while it was still in charge of their agent. Mr. Hirst argued his objection to the offer, “ urging that at the end of the j ourney the con • duotor and driver ceased to be agents of the Company, and were free to do as they pleased, and were personally responsible for their acts. Justice Thompson sustaipedthe objection, -and declined to admit the testimony. Cross-examination by Mr. Hirst—l am plaintiff in the case preceding this against the same company; I had just come from ..Baltimore; arrived in the one o’clock train; I was on Fine street with Mrs. Foster; I was not veiled at the time when the con - doctor took my fare, nor when I got into the car; we got in between Ninth and Tenth -streets. After some of the passengers made -a disturbance, the conductor told us to get on the front platform; some • of the passengers said we were • “niggers;” the conductor was on the car at . the time; after the conductor told us to get •on the front platform he said he would run the car off the track, he then went to the driver and told him that “niggers” were . there; the driver put his head inside and skid, “You know you are niggers—why - don’t you get out?” Mrs. Foster had to - send for a doctor the next day; she was in delicate health. ' The Court adjourned at this point until • this morning at 10 o’clock. proceedings this morning. The case was resumed at 10 o’clock this .• morning. Eugene V. Savine testified as follows: The lady and gentleman referred to by Mary Ann Johnson was my sister and my-' - self; I was in the oar at the time Mrs. Foster and Miss Johnson were there; we got in at Fourth and Fine; Mrs. Foster and Miss Johnson got in just below Eighth street; the car stopped for them; they came in and sat downin the front part of the car and the car' , had gone about a square before the conduc tor came in and took the fare; he went out /- after taking the fore; nothing was said Do them until the car got near Ele venth; then the driver stopped the car; I had seen no signal from the conductor; the ■ driver opened the door* looked in, and told the women they knew they had no 'right there, and must get out; one . of the women - said she had jußt came from Baltimore,' where she had been used to riding in the •: cars, and she thought she had a right here; they refused to get out; the driver or con ■■ doctor threatened to throw the car off the track if they didn’t get out; then the con • doctor proposed to drive them to. the depot qnd white wash them; at Broad street the - car stopped again to let some one in or out, - and tne women attempted to get out; they B&id they had' gone as far as they wished to go; the conductor and some man at the rear prevented them from ■ getting Out, and car was driven oh ag∈ I think it was at Seventeenth street, alady wished to get ont and the conductor asked her if she would not sit still, as he didn’ t < wish to stop the car for fear these women would get out; the oar did’nt stop; at Nine THE BAILBULLETIN } PHILADELPHIA, JAft?&DAT DECEMBER 22,1866,--TRIPLE sfiEftf. teenth street I got out; I pulled the strap and I got out with my sister; the women made an attempt to get out; they rußhed to the back door and they were stopped there by the men who were standing there; the oon duotor among them; one of the women got ont on the platform; Idon’t know what they did to her there, but I heard her ery for help; it was dark; the oar started with her on, and she jumped' off after the bar had started; that is all I know; I can’t Bay whether she fell, but I saw her stagger; Miss Johnson remained in the car, and Mrs. Foster followed the car; I sup posed Mrs. Johnson was kept there; there was some very bad language used by the passengers and driver ana conductor; can’t remember the words. Cross-examined—l remember when the women got in; Ithink one was veiled and the other was not; I recognized them as colored and thought it strange that they were allowed; don’t remember that the one threw back her veil after the conductor took the fore; it was night when they got in; I don’t remember whether it was a dark night or not. Re-examined—lt was between 7 and 8 o’clock in the evening; I was on the side walk when Mrs. Foßtergoboff; I don’t mean to say that I could not see what was done to her because it was so dark; it was not vfery dark, I think; but I could not see las well as in the day time; 1 1 don't know whether the regulations of the company al low colored people or not; I saw no notice of the kind in the car; never heard a con ductor speak of any such rale. Henry A. Sheetz, the conductor) called by plaintiff, Mr. Goforth stating that he under stood the judge to require him to prove .the regulations of the company. Judge Thompson said that if bad conduct took place on the cars the Company is not responsible unless the Company has autho rized this conduct. Mr. Goforth said he did not intend to say that he could Bhow that the regulations of the Company authorized the kicking and heating of the passengers; bnt he did con tend that while the conductors were in charge of the business of the Company, the Company wbb responsible. Judge Thompson was clearly of opinion that plaintiff must show that this conduct was the result of the regulations of the company. Mr. Goforth said he was anxious to get to the jury, in order that the rights of pas sengers, and companies, and conductors could be determined by the highest au thority in the State. Judge Thompson repeated that unless it was shown that this was the resnlt of regu lations, the company was not responsible. Tbe examination of Mr. Sheetz continued as follows: There is a rule in the conductor’s room at the depot, to allow no colored person in the car, except a servant In charge of a white child. S. Gross Fry, the President of the Rail way Company, testified as follows:—I be lieve I know the rules and regulations of the Company; one is to allow no colored people in tbe cars, except in special cases— servants in charge of children, or servants in charge of aged or infirm persons. Cross-examined—On the front platform all colored persons are allowed to ride; z we bad a special car for colored people at that time. To Mr. Goforth—We have none now. The plaintiff closed. Mr. Wm. L. Hirst, Jr., for the defendant, moved for a nonsuit upon the ground that the company could not be held responsible for tbe conduct of the conductor and driver, unless authorized by the rules and regula tions. Mr. Goforth reviewed the facts proven in the case, as stated by the witnesses, and the regulations excluding colored people; he bad not been able to prove a rule to keep them in or to authorize tbe con ductor to kick them out.. An officer of the Company, as he believed, under the regulations, committed this wanton outrage upon a woman; a man that that Company employed to take care of and pro tect any citizen who might get in, and they are responsible for anything that man did within the scope of his authority, and the measure of his authority on that occasion was the control of that car. The Supreme Court has decided that it is the business of these companies to employ, humane, sober and careful men, and it was held that acts of omission and commission by tbe agent render the Company responsi ble in damages. This man was in charge of the car. If ne had gone on the sidewalk, and had committed a wrong, the Company would not be responsible, bnt here he was in charge of a car of the defendants and they are responsible for his conduct on this occasion as they would he if he had pushed a passenger under the wheels. It cannot be said that after I have paid my fare and endeavor to get off I can be rudely pushed back and pre vented! It is . said that-1 have a remedy by a charge of assault and battery, but this is no remedy for this plaintiff; that is a suit between the Com monwealth and the conductor. If the conductor was acting under what he con sidered to be the regulations of the Com pany, the Company is responsible. Mr. Hirst in reply, said that Mr. Goforth’s argument would be. powerful if the con ductor and driver were on trial. - They have not shown that the injuries were the result of the regulations of the'Company. At the close of the argument,on the motion for a nonsuit, Juctloe Thompson said: I see in this case the substance of the foots as fol lows: two women on the evening of the 17th of August, stop this car and get on: The conductor could not know very well what their color was. They tendered their; fare and it was taken, and it might be a ques tion if the conductor had merely put them out, but that question does not arise here. After they had gone some distance they were ordered to get out, and in language probably not quite decent, because there ought to he decent language used to all human beings. No gentleman uses anything else. I am sorry this company has such men and I may Bay here that I would be glad if they were on trial here, I have always felt kindly disposed towards the colored race and will always proteot them in all their rights, and I would not allow them to be abused or beaten, or maltreated by any one. But that is not the question here. These people were told to get out. They declined,ana thecar was driven on when they reached their stopping place the car drove on and kept them in; there is no regulation of the company to keep them in and there fore the driver and conductor were acting beyond the scope of their instructions; when the woman got out, somebody, Mary Ann Johnson says the conductor, kicked her off. Mr. Savin could not see who did it; that act was willful and not within the scopejof any regulation that I see. They kept in the oar the other who is not on trial, and that is no matter so far as this case is concerned. Mrs. ■ Foster followed the car,, The Company has nothing' to do with that. They were called negrees or “niggers”—a very offensive . term to .them, but ; the Company , is not . responsible for that, and the company did; hot,authorize such language. I want it to be understood: that bo person is tobe indulged when they buo, as in this case, the wrong parties. The com pany here is not liable, and it is no denial of justice to say so, I have looked at this with a great deal of care. There may be a question to excite the community, but this most unfortunate agitation results in no good. The colored people have been living in - Philadelphia from its foundation until recently; com fortably and peaceably, and this agitation can now do no good. Bnt this has nothing to do with this case, and I am going to de termine the question, because mere is no evidence to connect the company with these acts. Where agents are acting within the Bcope of their authority, and they act negligently, the company Is resp nsible; but i? they ‘ act willfully, the o pany is not responsible. If aconducto a car takes a fare and then pats the passenger off, the Company 1b not responsible, unless it can be shown that this was within the soepe of the Company’s regulations. The .case referred to here is not understood. In that case, a man was pat off the cars for not paying his fore. In patting him off, the declaration charged that it was so negli gently done that : the man fell down the bank and was killed. The soie question was: was .the Company guilty, of negligence through their agent. The judg ment was simply that there was negligence in removing the man. If it had been will fulness, the company would not have been res pon sible. To hold other wise would shook all oursense of right, I have explained this, simply withla view of showing that my duty compels me to enter a nonsuit in this case, and accordingly it is done. The case will now go to the Supreme Court intone. EThe Fair at Washington Building, Third street, above Spruce, this evening.
