I An Important Test Case. fSXJMBAPH COMPAM1E3 ARK BBtPOXSlBLI TOM TUB MCVfAKES Or THKMt OrOUTOBH. ontbkal, January- the Court of Appeals here yesterday judgment was rendered in the important case of the Great North Western Telegraph Co. and B. laurence Co.

This was an action for $200 damages taken by respondent on account of an error in the transmission of a despatch sent him by his clerk hero while he was in New York. The despatch ended with the words writing (a-night," but it was transmitted as reading "waiting to-night." xne result was tnat air. Laurence- left his New York business and at once came Hence the pres ent action in which the court below granted 830 damages, being the actual cost of the journey. In rendering the judgment of. the Court of Appeal, Chief Justice Lacoste remarked that although a very small amount wasat stake, the ease was of consklerable iinportanOB as estab lishing theexUntbf the company responsi bility.

Could the appellant be taxed with negligence in this instance One letter only was changed, the letter being used instead of the letter lhree operators had testified that in the 'rush of business one, letter could easily be taken for- another, while other witnesses declared tnat the despatch was sufficiently legible. Opera-. tors cannot expect always to men witn copper plate and they must take proper care in leading the despatches handled. After a personal inspection of the despatch referred to the court came to the conclusion that the letter was distinctly formed, and if the proper to which the public are entitled bad been- exercised, the error would not have taken place. Consequently, on the question of fact there was negligence.

flow, on the question oi law, tne company defendant pled that when sending the despatch plaintiffs clerk signed a form stating that the company, would not be responsible, even if there was negligence on their part for any damage over an above the price paid for sending the, telegram, except, however, if the despatch was repeated, but even in the latter case the company's liability was not to exceed fifty times the price of the despatch. lne conditions on ftne form ana toe surnature were, aanuueo. and the only question now to decide was whether the Telegraph company could stipulate for itself immunity from its own faults. The Code provides that a contract cannot be based upon an illicit and immoral conaidera-. tion.

Now to stipulate immunity from one own Unit, IS an unmoral ana illicit conssaera- tion. and awnseauentlr ther conditions men turned in the form referred to and upon which too plea is founded, cannot ne oinnina For all these reasons, the judmnent of the court below must De connrroea. tersa-e Celd In Manitoba, January 19.

Tq the Members of the Lady Stanley Insti- tore for Trained Nurses 1 The Board of Trustees of the Lady Stanley Inatirute for Trained Nurses beg to submit their second annual report as follows The trustees are glad: to be, able to state that the expectation expressed in the first annual report to the effect that the success which op to that date had attended the sere "ne of the Institute afforded yuod reason for the subscribers to feel confident of its complete success, has been fully justi- The building for the purpose of the In stitute, which wsa approaching eompletion at the date of the last -annual meeting, was finished early in the spring of last year, and a manner highly creditable, and, we believe, pefectly satisfactory to the subscribers. When completed it was suitably and hand-1 somely furnished without any charge upon the funds of the Institute through the active efforts of Her Excellency Lady Stanley and the Baroness Macdnnald, as 'explained in hut' year's repor, and on the 21st of May hut was formally opened by His Excellency the Governir-General in the presenoe of a larae and influential fratherinff of the citizens of Ottawa. His Excellency and many of the most prominent clergymen ana other leading citizens took advantage of the occasion to express their gratification at the success of the work so far accomplished and their firm conviction that the success, of the past mas certain evidence that the desired objects I of the Institute would be attained. The trustees are pleased to be able to coneratulate the subscribers on the fulfilment of another expectation expressed in their last report, viz: that the isuance of tne money then required to complete the building and pay off all -the Labilities in respect to it, would be fcrth-. coming before it waa needed for so fully was this antidpation realized that the money necessarv for the purpose -was not only subscribed but paid in to the treasurer before the day of the opening and the Institute when formally opened was free of debt or liability of any kind.

From the report of the treasurer appended hereto it will be seen that the total amount received from subscriptions and donations was 321,284 apart from the special subscription of $4,000. referred to- hereafter aad apart also from, the money raised by the ladies as a furnishing fund. The expenditure made in respect the property and building waa ium paruvuiars ut wmvn wiu aeen in the treasurer's The total amount of the furnishing fund was about "W.UUO, but no part of, una came out ol the money subscribed for the Institute. In regard to the subscriptions, whilst it might be considered invidious to give special thanks' to any particular subscribers, the board are of opinion-that attention may without offence be called to the very gener ous contribution of $4,000, Riven by an un-' named subscriber to provide against de- ncieucy in respect oi tne maintenance ot tne Institute in the early part of its career, and they trust that the successful completion of the building and the promising future of the Institute may in some measure be to this kind friend a recompense fur his generosity. On the "th of May last the trustees ap- in ted as lady superintendent to the titute Miss Gertrude Warren Moore, a Canadian, who had graduated as a trained nurse at Bellevue Hospital, New York, and who was recommended to the board by testimonials of the highest character from the lady superintendent of- Bellevue and from many eminent physicians and others well able to 1 judge of her ability to assume the responsible duties with which as lady superintendent of the Stanley Institute she became entrusted, We.

are glad to be able to state that Miss; Moore's appointment i 1 1... naa tu uur uiniuuu vrcu tuiijr jusiuini vjr the Planner in which she has fulfilled her duties as lady superintendent. At the time of the last annual meeting the board of trustees were, as stated in their report, in negotiation with the authorities of the Protestant General Hospital with regard to taking charge of and conducting the nursing in the Hospital and incidental thereto for the admission of the pupil nurses of the Institute to the wards of the Hospital. These negotiations resulted in an agreement being entered into between the! directors of the Hospital and your board under which.on the first of July last, the nursing in the Hospital was subject to its being satisfactory to the medical staff of the Hospital given over to the lady superintendent and nurses to be provided by the Institute and for the doing of this work the Hospital agreed to pay to the Institute the remuneration stated in the agreement, which agreement will be laid be- lore the subscribers at wis annual meeting. The arrangement provided for in that agreement was to continue for a year from the nrst oi June last out tne trustees feel satisfied: that the governing boards of both institutions will oonsider it mutually desirable to renew the agreement at the end of the year on such terms sa in view of the year's experience will be thought most desirable and benenctal to accomplish the objects in view.

The- board aled eninured two other ffradu- ate nurses to assist the lady superintendent in taking charge of the Hospital work, and for a time a third graduate nurse was abb engaged for the same purpose. The services of two of these are still retained by the but in the course of a few months the board expect that only one will be necessary owing to the fact that by that time some of ther pupil nurses will have aoauired sufficient experience to enable them to take the place of one of the graduate nurses and so effect a considerable saving in the current expense, there are at the pros ent time in the Institute nine pupil nurses and the number is gradually increasing, the i- i i i. 3 1. lauy superuuenueuii ucuig wuwuci uj the board to Increase the number as occasion may require, to about til tee a. in addition to tne Hospital work, tne nurses of this institute have attended outside patients and done district work of a charitable character, the particulars of all of which will be found in tne report of the executive committee herewith submitted.

to this time the revenue has been whollv derived from: the Hospital under, the agreement referred to, with a small amount received lor services ot nurses sent out to private patients, but the board expect that the latter source of revenue will. as it has already done during the past month, considerably increase. for Uie six months during which the' Institute has been open it has of fallen considerably short of being self -sustaining but the board expect that by the end of another year the current revenue will be nearly, if not fully, sufficient to meet the current expenditure as they believe during that time the expenditure will be greatly reduced and the revenue very mucn increaeea. The board has arranged with several mem bers of the medical profession to deliver at the Institute during the winter a course of lectures on nursing and subjects connected therewith to women, i at which the pupil nurses will be permitted to attend free of charge, and they believe that these lecture will be of great benefit not only to the pupils of the Institute, but to all women who, as subscribers to the course, choose to attend. The board of trustees appointed, at the time of the open in of the Institute, an executive committee i to superintend and carryL'On tne business management ot tne Institute and the expenditure in connection therewith.

The committee's report, already referred to, gives more full details as to the practical working of he scheme. In conclusion the board is of opinion that 'the experience of the past six months has been upon tne whole a sausiactory one ana that it has justified the expectations of those who believed in the desirability of establishing the Institute and o' the necctuty which exisvea ror sucu an inauvuuon in uvawi, i All of which is lesuectfullv submitted. J0S3 BWSXTLaaP, fjhairman. REPORT OP TUB XXETlTtVC COMMITTEE. To the Board of Trustees of the Lady Niamey institute tor- trained curses The executive commit tee of he Led Stan ley Institute for Trained Nurses beg to re port as follows i bat tbe current expenditure for mainten ance for the past seven months has been large but has ffraduallv decreased as will be seen-by the report thereon and they enter tain tne hope that in a year or thereabouts the Institute will be Kit-sustaining or nearly so.

They have spared no necessary expense in carrying on the nursi lg in tha Hrspital so as to avoid if possible any complaint of' the medical stan ol inexperience or inattention a the part oi the nurses. 1 The Institute building is in a satisfactory condition it is convenient and sufficient for its purpose, unit has been found in regard to it in any respect except with refer ence to the heating which your committee tear under tne present system will be somewhat expensive, and your committee therefore suggest that steps be taken to obtain the opinion of experts thereon and to make some change if advisable in the. furnace, with a view to economize the consumption of coaL In June last your commit te considered it lesirable to appoint a third graduated nurse to act as night superintsndent in the Hospital and -engaged for that purpose Miss Height, a graduate of the Toronto Training School. Miss Height continued to discharge the required duty in a very saUatactory manner for three months when her engagement terminated. The pupil nurses have given satisfaction to ths laxly superintendent, they have shown intelligence and their desire to excel in their work.

Their number is gradually increasing. Your ootnmittee have authorized Miss Moore to increase the number as oryssiori may require to twelve or fifteen. The trained nurses in the Institute at present are Mies A. Lukes, Miss Ida Craig, Miss M. jaacgregor and Simpson.

1 he upu nurses are Miss uson, Miss L. Know, lias A Cameron, Miss Cornwall, Miss Rus sell, Miss Harback, Miss O. Harris and Miss L. Hams and Miss Carrntbers and Miss Ads probationers. The small size of the Hospital prevents for the present much increase in the number of the pupils.

lour committee nave purchased and placed in the Institute a small library of medical works for the use of the pupils at a cost of 970 which has been paid out of moneys collected by Her Excellency Lady Stanley of Preston. The average monthly expenditure since the opening of the Institute nas been about for maintenance and for salaries, in all about a month. The earnings of the various nurses other than the amount paid by the Hospital have averaged about a month. The unfortunate illness of Miss Moore and of Miss MsoGrvsror and Miss Simpson have seriously interfered with the, -work of nursing and lessened the receipts therefrom. The particulars of the above expenditure and receipts are to be found in the treasurer's report.

I here have been employed In the Hospital work on an average two trained -nurses and seven pupil nurses for the seven months during which the Institute has had charge of the Hospital nursing the number of Ktiento in the Hospital during that tune ing on an average about 45 a month. For private patients outside of the Hospital, tbe Institute has endeavored to supply nurses whenever called upon to do so. fhe circumstances above stated have prevented that being done in all cases and therefore the revenue so far from this source has been small but your committee believe-that it will in the ruture steadily increase. I our committee in tne month ot July en Miss MacGregor as a district nurse, special duty beinir to visit amons: the poor and rive assistance and advice to those in attendance on the sick at their homes. Miss MacGresor, under the superintendence of Miss Moore, and assisted occasionally by public nurse, lias done mucn good work in the citv.

This class of work is much needed in Ottawa and your committee hope that when its useful- is more fully understood than it appears to be at present the work for which Miss MacGregor has been especially engaged will have a very extended neld lor its bcuepciel operations. Miss MacGregor, with the assistance of the lady superintendent, made 69 visits in the mouth December and attended three maternity cases. I Your committee believe the lady superintendent and her assistant nurses have endeavored to the beet of their ability to S've satisfaction to the authorities of the ospital in their management of the nursing in that that they nave worked to the entire satisfaction of the medical staff.
