PREFACE.

In this, the 8th volume of AMERICAN NEGLIGENCE CASES, the subject of "NEGLIGENCE OF CARRIERS OF PERSONS" is continued, the topics under treatment being " ARRESTS OF, ASSAULTS UPON, AND EJECTION OF PASSENGERS" in, upon, and from RAILROAD TRAINS, STEAMBOATS, and STREET CARS, including many cases relating to INTOXICATED PERSONS and TRESPASSERS. The volume contains the cases relating to the aforementioned topics, from the earliest period to 1897, in the highest courts of all the States and Territories and the Federal Courts of the United States, arranged chronologically in alphabetical order of States.

It will be observed that many cases on similar facts are grouped in notes under their respective States, a feature which enables the topic to be brought within reasonable compass and will, it is anticipated, add to the value of the work.

Another volume will complete the subject of CARRIERS OF PERSONS and will contain the cases relating to INJURIES TO PASSENGERS ON TRAINS, ETC., AND AT STATIONS, SICK PASSENGERS, and TRESPASSERS.

The Editor cordially acknowledges the able services and assistance of MR. WALTER J. EAGLE, and of MR. ALFRED J. Hook of the Brooklyn Law Library, in the preparation of this volume of AMERICAN NEGLIGENCE CASES, and the notes thereto. T. F. HAMILTON.

NEW YORK, November, 1898.
