AN important railway decision has
just received affirmation by the New
York Court of Appeals. Dorathea
Rawson sued the Pennsylvania railroad
company to recover $4,000 for loss of
baggage. On behalf of the defense it
was insisted that as there was a conGi-
ton printed on the ticket upon which
the plaintiff was riding the company
would not be liable, to exceed one hun
dred dollars and she could not recover
more than that sum. On the trial be-
low the plaintiff obtained judgment
for $1,000, aud the court of appeals have
affirmed that judgment. This decision
maintains as law that the clause on
railroad tickets limiting the loss to 500
for baggage does not limit such loss,
This is q decision of long mooted and
frequently contested question.
