### PREFACE

During the first few days of November 1914 Messines was lost in—silence; during the first few days of June 1917 Messines was regained—and the noise of its capture was heard in London. And during the two and a half years between these two events the game over the water has been going on.
It hasn't changed very much in the time—that game—to the player. To those who look on, doubtless, the difference is enormous. Now they speak easily of millions where before they thought diffidently of thousands. But to the individual—well, Messines is lost or Messines is won; and he is the performer. It is of those performers that I write: of the hole-and-corner work, of the little thumb-nail sketches which go to make up the big battle panels so ably depicted over the matutinal bacon and eggs.
And as one privileged to assist at times in that hole-and-corner work, I offer these pages as a small tribute to those who have done so far more than I: to the men who have borne the burden of the days, the months, the years to the men who have saved the world—to the Infantrymen.

United States Supreme Court
142 U.S. 492
Northern Pacific Company v. Territory of Washington Dustin
BREWER, J.
I dissent from the opinion and judgment in this case.
The question is not whether a railroad company can be compelled to build a depot and stop its trains at any place where are gathered two or three homes and families, nor whether courts can determine at what locality in a city or town the depot shall be placed, nor even whether, when there are two villages contiguous, the courts may determine at which of the two the company shall make its stopping-place, or compel depots at both. But the case here presented is this: A railroad company builds its road into a county, finds the county-seat already established and inhabited, the largest and most prosperous town in the county, and along the line of its road for many miles. It builds its road to and through that county-seat. There is no reason of a public nature why that should not be made a stopping-place. For some reason undisclosed-perhaps because that county-seat will not pay to the managers a bonus, or because they seek a real-estate speculation in establishing a new town,-it locates its depot on the site of a 'paper' town, the title to which it holds, contiguous to this established county-seat; stops only at the one, and refuses to stop at the other; and thus, for private interests, builds up a new place at the expense of the old; and for this subservience of its public duty to its private interests we are told that there is in the courts no redress; and this because congress in chartering this Northern Pacific road did not name Yakima city as a stopping-place, and has not in terms delegated to the courts the power to interfere in the matter.
A railroad corporation has a public duty to perform as well as a private interest to subserve, and I never before believed that the courts would permit it to abandon the one to promote the other. Nowhere in its charter is in terms expressed the duty of carrying passengers and freight. Are the courts impotent to compel the performance of this duty? Is the duty of carrying passengers and freight any more of a public duty than that of placing its depots and stopping its trains at those places which will best accommodate the public? If the state of Indiana incorporates a railroad to build a road from New Albany through Indianapolis to South Bend, and that road is built, can it be that the courts may compel the road to receive passengers and transport freight, but, in the absence of a specific direction from the legislature, are powerless to compel the road to stop its trains and build a depot at Indianapolis? I do not so belittle the power or duty of the courts.
Mr. Justice FIELD and Mr. Justice HARLAN concur with me in this dissent.

United States Supreme Court
158 U.S. 271
Northern Pacific Company v. Urlin
This was an action brought by Alfred J. Urlin, in the circuit court of the United States for the district of Montana, against the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, to recover for personal injuries received by him when traveling as a passenger in one of its trains.
The car in which the plaintiff was riding became derailed, and was thrown down a bank, and overturned. The complaint charged that the accident was due to 'the defective, decayed, and rotten condition of the cross-ties' in the road, and that the plaintiff received 'severe and dangerous wounds and internal injuries.'
The case proceeded to trial before the court and a jury, and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $7,500, and the jury also returned certain special findings which had been submitted to them at the request of the defendant. Judgment was entered upon said verdict and special findings. During the trial several exceptions were taken by the defendant, which were allowed and signed by the judge, and which are brought for review to this court by a writ of error.
A. H. Garland, W. E. Cullen, and J. K. Toole, for plaintiff in error.
Frank H. Woody, for defendant in error.

# Northern Pacific Company v. Walker/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
148 U.S. 391
Northern Pacific Company v. Walker
This was a bill filed in the circuit court of the United States for the district of North Dakota, November 21, 1890, by the Northern Pacific Railroad Company against the county auditors of 12 counties of that state, praying for a decree adjudging certain assessments and taxes levied upon lands in each of said counties to be illegal and void, and a cloud upon complainant's title, and that defendants and each of them be restrained from selling or attempting to sell said lands, or any portion thereof, or issuing any tax certificates therefor. The case proceeded to a decree, dismissing the bill for want of equity, (47 Fed. Rep. 681,) whereupon it was carried by appeal to the circuit court of appeals for the eighth circuit.
Certain questions or propositions of law, concerning which that court desired the instruction of the supreme court for a proper decision of the case, were certified to this court, and argument having been had upon the certificate, we directed a certiorari to issue requiring the whole record and cause to be sent up for consideration. This has been done, and we find upon examination that the case comes directly within Walter v. Railroad Co., 147 U.S. 370, 13 Sup. Ct. Rep. 348.
The record does not show that the amount of the assessments and taxes, forming the subject of the litigation, levied in either or all of the counties, exceeded the sum of $2,000; and even if this had been so as to the aggregate, the defendants could not have been joined in a single suit, and the jurisdiction thus been sustained. Upon the face of the record, therefore, the circuit court was without jurisdiction, (24 St. p. 552, c. 373; 25 St. p. 433, c. 866,) but as perhaps by amendment the bill might be retained as to some one of the defendants, we will not direct its dismissal.
In pursuance of section 10 of the judiciary act of March 3, 1891, (26 St. p. 829,) the decree of the circuit court is reversed at the costs of the appellant, and the cause remanded to that court, with a direction for further proceedings in conformity with this opinion.

SUPPLEMENT.
It is hoped, that the following Supplement will be accepted as some compensation for the vexatious delay, which has unexpectedly occurred in the completion of this volume, and likewise as an evidence, that the researches, of which the results hitherto are now offered to the public, are not deemed to be concluded, but that, on the contrary, corrections and additions will continue to be made, so long as the requisite powers are vouchsafed, and opportunities afforded.

    Rottingdean, December, 1851.
NOTES TO KENT.
1. Addington.—A church of chancel, nave, north porch (with a good late Perp. bargeboard), and west tower. There are also a late addition on the south, and a smaller on the north, of the chancel. All the exterior seems Perp. The tower is one of those square Perp. structures, with battlements and stair turret, which are exceedingly common through great part of Kent, and also in part of Sussex. The inscription, recorded by Hasted, was not observed. Key of church could not be obtained.
25. Bexley.—Chancel, nave, north aisle, and west tower with a shingled spire in two portions. Over what was a south porch, and projecting beyond it, is a hideous modern erection used as the vestry. A window in the north wall of the chancel indicates that portion to be Norm., or Tr. Norm., the other walls and the tower may be E.E., but the exterior is completely concealed by plaster. The east window has been built up; other windows are Dec. and Perp. insertions. The chancel contains a piscina, and a sedile. There have been three sedilia, but the central is blocked up by a monument, and the western has been cut down to resemble a door. At the southern entrance of the churchyard is a lich-gate.
32. Birling.—Chancel, nave, with north and south aisles, and west tower. The last is Perp., the remainder seems Dec. with some Perp. In the north wall of the aisle, toward the east end, is a very wide, buttress-like projection, similar to others, which are conjectured to contain the stairs leading to, or to have been connected with, the roodloft. Church not entered.
85. Cray, Foot's.—A very small church, comprising chancel, nave, with a chapel on the north side, a tall timber bell-turret over the west end of nave, and west porch. The font, of Weald marble, is Norm., the chancel may be Tr. Norm., or at least E.E., the north chapel Perp., the windows generally the same. The roodloft stairs, Perp., still exist on the south side of nave, the pulpit being placed near the head of them. A very small portion remains of Dec. screenwork.

VIEW OF MUTURA, ON THE RIVER JUMNA.
This view of the ancient town of Mutura is taken from a garden on the opposite side of the river Jumna, somewhat elevated, in which there is a handsome pavilion carefully executed in the modern Mahomedan style. In the centre of the view is seen the fort of Mutura, and to the left the principal mosque. Part of this city is very ancient, and is much frequented by the religious Hindoos, (it being the reported birth-place of Krishna,) for the purpose of bathing in the river Jumna, which is held in high estimation. The Jumna unites with the Ganges at Allahabad. Mutura is about seventy miles southward of Delhi.

MAUSOLEUM OF KAUSIM SOLEMANEE, AT CHUNAR GUR.
The Mausoleum of Kausim Solemanee is of modern workmanship, and in tolerably good repair; it is built of freestone, and in many parts covered with stucco. The outer wall, which surrounds the area, is very curiously ornamented on the top with lattice-work, cut in stone with the greatest exactness, and the design varying in almost every pannel. Chunar Our is about seventeen miles above the city of Benares, on the opposite side of the river Ganges.

MAUSOLEUM OF NAWAUB ASOPH KHAN, AT RAJE MAHEL.
This Mausoleum is an example of a style of finishing that prevailed very much at Agra, Delhi, and other cities of Hindoostan, before the time of the Emperor Shah Jehan, which was covering the domes, friezes, minars, and other parts, with glazed tiles of various designs and colours. These porcelain embellishments were often applied with great taste, and from the richness of their colours, and enamelled surface, produced a very splendid effect. Raje Mahel is on the western side of the river Ganges, about one hundred and eighty miles northward of Calcutta.
