Railroad Company v. Johnson
In accordance with the principles settled by this court in the cases of Knox v. Lee, and Parker v. Davis, which were affirmed in Dooley v. Smith, the tender was a good and valid one, and the judgment for coin is erroneous, and must be reversed.
It is, therefore, ordered that the judgment of the Supreme Court of Errors of Connecticut be, and the same is hereby, REVERSED, and the cause remanded to that court for further proceedings
IN CONFORMITY WITH THIS OPINION.
I think it my duty to express my dissent from the judgment just announced, for the reasons stated in the opinion of the court in Hepburn v. Griswold, and in the dissenting opinions in Knox v. Lee, and Parker v. Davis.
My brothers CLIFFORD and FIELD concur in this dissent.

# Railroad Company v. Harris

United States Supreme Court
74 U.S. 574
Railroad Company v. Harris
THIS was a motion for writs of supersedeas to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to stay execution upon two judgments recovered in that court, one by Harris, against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, and the other by his administratrix, against the same defendant.
The first judgment was for injuries sustained by Harris, when a passenger on the defendant's railroad. The second was a judgment upon scire facias, to revive the former judgment, abated by the death of Harris, and to make his administratrix party to that judgment, and to have execution.
To bring the first judgment into this court for review, a writ of error had been sued out by the railroad company, and a sufficient bond for prosecution was filed, within ten days after rendition; but no copy of the writ of error appeared to have been lodged in the clerk's office for the use of the defendant in error.
The twenty-third section of the Judiciary Act thus declares:
'A writ of error shall be a supersedeas, and a stay of execution, in cases only where the writ of error is served by a copy thereof being lodged, for the adverse party, in the clerk's office, where the record remains, within ten days, Sundays exclusive, after rendering the judgment and passing the decree complained of.'
Messrs. Bradley and Buchanan, in support of the motion.
Messrs. Davidge and Fuller, contra.
The CHIEF JUSTICE delivered the opinion of the court.

# Railroad Company v. Harris/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
74 U.S. 574
Railroad Company v. Harris
The right of the plaintiff in error to the writs for which the motion now before us is made, depends on the question whether, by the proceedings taken in the case, the writ of error upon the first judgment became a supersedeas?
And this question is answered by the express words of the twenty-third section of the Judiciary Act.
The legislature has seen fit to make the lodging of a copy of the writ, within ten days, a prerequisite to the operation of the writ as a supersedeas. The cause was removed from the inferior court to this court, by the issuing of the writ, and the due service of it upon the court to which it is addressed; but its additional effect, as a supersedeas, depends upon compliance with the conditions imposed by the act. We cannot dispense with that compliance in respect to lodging a copy for the adverse party.
The motion for writs of supersedeas in both cases must, therefore, be DENIED; and as the second writ of error brings nothing before us, unless the writ in the first case operated as a supersedeas under the statute, that writ must be
DISMISSED.

# Railroad Company v. James/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
73 U.S. 750
Railroad Company v. James
The La Crosse and Milwaukee Company, by virtue of its charter and the proceedings under it, acquired a title in fee to the road-bed; and the rolling stock owned by it, and used and employed in connection with the road, is made a fixture by an express statute of the State of Wisconsin, and such, we think, is the law according to the true construction of the charter, independent of the statute. By the statute law of Wisconsin judgments are liens on real estate, and we do not doubt but that this judgment became a lien on the road from the time of its rendition, and that a sale under a decree in chancery, and conveyance in pursuance thereof, confirmed by the court, passed the whole of the interest of the company existing at the time of its rendition to the purchaser.
A great many objections have been taken to the decrees below, but those of any substance or force will be found answered by the principles above stated.
DECREES AFFIRMED.

United States Supreme Court
82 U.S. 195
Railroad Company v. Johnson
In error to the Supreme Court of Errors of Connecticut.
Johnson sued the Norwich and Worcester Railroad Company on certain coupons for interest attached to bonds, made by the said company A. D. 1860. When the coupons fell due, the amount was tendered in the legal-tender notes of the United States, issued under the act of Congress of February 25th, 1862, and the several acts in addition thereto, and they were refused. The State court rendered judgment that this tender was not good, and that the plaintiff should receive the amount with interest in the gold and silver coin of the United States. This writ of error was brought to reverse that judgment.
Mr. J. Halsey, for the plaintiff in error. No opposing counsel.
Mr. Justice MILLER delivered the opinion of the court.

Proclamation 9701: Irish-American Heritage Month, 2018
February 28, 2018
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
During the month of St. Patrick's Day, we celebrate Irish-American Heritage Month and the tremendous role Irish immigrants and their descendants have played in the development of our great Nation. Irish-American Heritage Month is a great opportunity to celebrate the nearly 33 million Americans with Irish ancestry and their tremendous contributions to the betterment of our country. This month, and every month, we appreciate their efforts in helping usher in a new era of American prosperity.
Irish Americans have distinguished themselves in every sector of American life. Many have been among the key architects of our country's greatness. Nine of the men who signed our Declaration of Independence were of Irish origin. Presidents Andrew Jackson, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and many others have traced their roots to the Emerald Isle. Businessman Henry Ford, founder of one of America's most iconic companies, was the son of an Irish immigrant.
For centuries, the tenacious Irish spirit, paired with American self-reliance, has helped Irish immigrants and their descendants realize incredible dreams. With religious devotion, strength rooted in the love of family, and confidence in the promise of America, Irish Americans have engaged in the American experience in robust and meaningful ways. Their neighborhoods, schools, churches, and workplaces have affirmed the importance of faith, industry, and learning. It is, therefore, no wonder that American art, business, and public life are marked by Irish names and symbols.
This month, Americans across the country will don the traditional green garb as we celebrate the patron saint of Ireland in an annual tribute to our shared and cherished heritage with that great country. As we spend this month honoring Irish Americans, we also pledge to further strengthen our relationship with the Emerald Isle itself, as we look forward to a bright future of greater friendship, cooperation, and commerce for centuries to come.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 2018 as Irish-American Heritage Month. I call upon all Americans to celebrate the achievements and contributions of Irish Americans to our Nation with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-second.

# Prophecies of Thomas Rymer (3)/Chapter 4

A CURIOUS ANECDOTE
OF RYMER'S BEING
Robbed by a Cobler in Kirkcaldy.
In the year 1262, when Scotland was long afflicted with a severe famine, Rymer returning from a summer's evening walk, accompanied with only a page, was accosted by a man, who presented his pistol, and in a manner far from hardened resolution, asked him for his money. Rymer observing that he came to the wrong person, and that he could obtain ​but little from him, said, "I have but three shillings, which are not worth a scuffle; so much good may they do you; but, as a friend, let me tell you, you are going on in a very bad way." The robber took them, and without asking him for more, walked away, with an air of dejection and terror.
The fellow was no sooner gone, than Thomas ordered his page to follow the robber to observe where he went, and to bring him an account of all he should discover. The boy obeyed, pursued him through several obscure streets, and at length, saw him enter a baker's shop, where he observed him change one of the shillings, and buy a large brown loaf. With this solitary purchase the robber went a few doors further, and, entering an alley, ascended several pair of stairs. The boy crept up after him to the topmost story, where he saw him go into a room, which was no otherwise illuminated than by the friendy light of the moon; and peeping through a crevice, he perceived the wretched man cast the loaf on the floor, and, burling into tears, cried out, "There, eat your fill; this is the dearest loaf I ever bought: I have robbed a gentleman of three shillings; let us husband them vell, and let me have no more teazings; for soon or late these doings must bring me to ruin. The expostulations were answered by those of the whole family: and his wife, having at length calmed the agony of his mind, took up the loaf, ​and cutting it, gave four pieces to four poor starving children.—The page having thus performed his commission, returned home, and gave his master an account of all he had seen and heard.—Satisfied with this account, Rymer ascended to the Shoe-maker's lodging, and knocked at the door: It was opened by the unhappy man himself; who knowing him at first sight to be the gentleman whom he had robbed, prostrated himself at his feet. Rymer desired him to make no noise, assuring him that he had not the least intention to hurt him.—"You have a good character, said he, among your neighbours; but you must expect your life will be cut short, if you are so wicked as to continue the freedoms you took with me. Hold your hand, here are 30 shillings to buy leather; husband it well, and set your children a laudable example." Well done Thomas.
Scotland be sad now, and lament, for honours thou hast lost, But yet rejoice in better times, which will repay the cost.
Fair Scotia's enemies may invade, but not escape a plague: With sword & thirst, & tears & pest, with fears and such-like ague.

# Prophecies of Thomas Rymer (3)/Chapter 2

A
REMARKABLE PREDICTION
OF
THOMAS THE RYMER,
CONCERNING
THE UNION.
When Hempe is come, and also gone,
Scotland and England shall be one.
HEMPE.
Praised be GOD alone,
For Hempe is come and gone,
And left us old Albion,
By peace join'd in one.
The explication of the above prediction concerning Hempe being come, and also gone,
​and leaving Scotland and England joined in one, is fulfilled in the late King William, who came out of Holland, which in old times was vulgarly called the land of Hempe: and the joining of the two nations together, signifies the Union.
These things were foretold by the two Scots Prophets, in the reign of King Arthur. First, by the marvellous Merling, who is said to be got by a Devil, who ravished a young Woman, his mother, in a wood near Coldstream, in the South of Scotland. Afterwards, to the same purpose, these and many more strange things were foretold by Thomas Lermont, vulgarly called Thomas Rymer, because he spoke all his prophetical sayings in rhyme, and so darkly, that they could not be understood until they came to pass.
But of all the Prophets that ever were in Scotland, there never was any of them who attained to such credit, because many of his predictions referred to our own country, and were accomplished in the last and present century.
In Scotland many Prophets there have been;
But none like Thomas Rymer e'er was seen!

# Prophecies of Thomas the Rhymer, the ancient Scotch prophet (1)/Chapter 1

SHORT ACCOUNT
OF
SIR THOMAS LEARMANT, THE RHYMER.
SIR THOMAS LEARMANT commonly called Thomas Rhymer, was born in the east corner of Fife, of a good family. His Prophecies have been more credited than any that were ever recorded in the Scots Chronicle, as they have been well attested, what of them is past, and what they allude to, in this present century and period, and of his dark sayings yet to come.
He told many mystical prophecies anent all the Kings of Europe, and what fell out according to his prediction, in this ancient kingdom of Scotland; what is past, present, and to come. This brief account is taken from the Record of Cryle, near which place he was born and brought up.
His father was said to be Laird of Balcomie and the records of that family is extant in the Rolls, for assisting at several councils for the honour of ​Scotland. And Sir Thomas Rhymer's prophecies and sayings are still held in estimation.
He lived in the reign of Alexander III. King of Scotland, in the year one thousand two hundred and forty-eight, much regarded, and knighted by that king that same year.
The first of his prophecies ever taken to be faithfully observed, was, that there should be a storm on a certain day, that would surprise all Scotland. Now, some gentlemen being with him that day they began to joke him, and said Sir Thomas, you are now mistaken, and we shall stay and see your mistake, as we have heard so much of your prophecies. He told them to stay an hour longer, and they would see and believe. And in less time than an hour, an express arrived to Sir Thomas from Edinburgh, of the death of Margaret, Queen to Alexander III. who died that day. Upon receiving the news, Sir Thomas told them that this was the storm, and it would give rise to greater commotions in Scotland.
After the death of Queen Margaret, the King married Isabel, daughter to the Earl of Driux; and Sir Thomas told within a few months of an earthquake at Kinghorn, that would make Scotland tremble. An express accordingly came to Clyde to Sir Thomas, that the King had fallen from his horse at Kinghorn, and broke his neck. After the death of Alexander, he left no heirs except a grand-child, ​Margaret, daughter to the King of Norway, who also soon died; but a short time before her death, she was betrothed to Edward, King of England. After this there were great commotions anent the succession to the crown of Scotland, which occasioned great blood-shed, particularly betwixt Bruce and Baliol, which you have recorded in the Scottish Histories.
The pride of Spain, and the deceitful conduct of the French, as also concerning the Dutch, is all foretold.—Likewise the Scots battles at Torwood, Bothwelbridge, Malpiackie, Killycrankie, Sheriffmuir. Proud Preston, near Gladamuir, Falkirk, Culloden, and the Camps in Moray-shire, and on the Windmill brae at Aberdeen, by General Coup, and at Dunbar.
In forty-five eighty-two and three, Sir Thomas' Works doth certify.
