TIoN.-A case of much interest to the members
OF the bar OF Maryland was argued in the supe-
rior court, Hon. Judge Dobbin, on Saturday,
being that of Keefe vs.. the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company. The plaintiffs widow nd
three children-brought suit against the rail-
road company in the supreme court OF this city
ID recover $4,000 for the killing of the husband
and father, which occurred in Washington CITY.
The defendant claims that no court in Mary
land has jurisdiction in the case, because the
cause of action occurred outside the state; and
the plaintiffs hold that it was tran STORY action
OF pei 5Onal wrong, and followed the wrong
deer. Also, that the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road company is, in contemplation OF law, a
citizen of Maryland, and can be So ed here by a
citizen OF any state for wrongs committed out
Of the state. The question was argued on de-
wurrer by John II. Il. Latrobe, esq.,, and Gen.
F. g. LatTobe, of Baltimore, and John X.
