A RAILROAD CASE
@. s. KOOntZ and Timothy McGilIiroIy
were charged by James w. Barnes with an
assault. The prosecuting witness testified
thSai nc went 10 the NtpOb, WDere tnere were
TWO packages which were consigned TO other
parties, and they refused TO receive them.
These packages he claimed, and he showed
the cashier the necessary papers, but the
agent tMr. KOOntZ) refused TO let him take
them. lie then went to the platform to take
the number Of the boxes. The defense was
that this platform is the private property of
the company; that there are rules preventing
parties from going there, and on this occa-
sion Barnes was ordered out, and refusing TO
90 ne wfs put out, but no more force was
used than was necessary.
The Court said that the complainant had
not shown his right 20 the goois, and if he
had he would not be entitled to the goods
except by complying with the rules of the
company. The freight is regarded as in
charge of the company, and if deli yered to
wrong party they would suffer loss. Railroad
companies he knew did not court law suits
they had enough of those which came natu-
rally To them-and they had the right to
make rules and also 10 enforce them. In this
case The evidence did not show that the de-
PENDANTS had done more than they had au-
thOrlty to do. Here was a man who had
been requested to leave, and not complying
with the request was put off the premises,
The case was dismissed.
