The ricsha was upset and the plaintiff thrown to the ground. She was assisted into a house by Messrs Healey and MacDermott, and was able to draw their attention to the fact that her purse and money were lying on the ground, and to direct them to the house where she wished to go. The chauffeur took plaintiff's husband to the French Police Station to report, and that was the whole story so far as defendants knew it.
