railroad company for the land occupied by
their track Three Of the Judges of the SUI
preme Court disagreed upon several points,
but agreed that when the fee was in the adj
jacent landowner, and the town or city had
only the right-of-way title to the street. the
railroad company was liable for damages.
Two Of the Judges dissented intoto on every
point, and held that the act OF the Legisla-3

charter and right to occupy streets Of cities
and towns and public highway, gave them
the right of way regardless Of the fee; and |
that they were not liable in damages. Three
