At the Liverpool assizes, yesterday, before Mr. Justice Willes and a common jury, ANTHONY BENSON, a young man in business in that town, sued the proprietor of an omnibus, running between Liverpool and Crosby, to recover compensation for injuries alleged to have been received through the negligence of the driver. In June last the plaintiff was going home on the top of the 'bus, and in passing a lorry, loaded with bales of cotton, the driver went so near that the plaintiff was caught by one of the bales and thrown down into the street, receiving such injuries that he was confined to his room for three months and was not able to attend to his business for six months afterwards. The negligence upon the part of the driver was denied. The jury, however, found for the plaintiff, to whom they awarded 75 pounds damages'.
