THE BERKELEY SPRINGS TICKET CASES
Justice Bundy's office was crowded yesterday
afternoon with people interested i'm the case of
ThOs. s. McNeir against the B. & o. railroad
company. This was a counterpart of the case of
Norris VS.. the B. & @. company. tried on the
preceding day. in which the plaintiff demanded
S45 damages for being compelled to
pay additional fare from Berkeley Springs
to Washington. though holding round
trip ticket which he had failed to have re-
stamped at Sir Johns Run. The assembled
spectators, however, were disappointed, for
after consultation between various parties di-
rectly interested it was announced that settle
ment had been made the defendant paying the
costs
The railroad company paid the costs and re-
turned the money paid by them, under protest
in both the cases. amounting in all to less than
$50. The company claim that they came to
the conclusion to end the cases as they stood,
because, being brought for $50. they could not
be removed to higher court, and trial by jury
was not appealable The plaintiffs are satisfied
with this course and state it was only on prin-
cIple that they entered this suit. One of them
said it was prepOsterous to hold the purchaser
of ticket to contract printed thereon, which
he does not have opportunity to see until the
company has pOcketed the money; and that
when buying tickets the public are not sup
posed to do so for the purpose of reading such
a contract "unsight unseen" they have the
same right to attach a revis ed edition of the
New Testament or a Hostetter's btters' alma
nae to the ticket, and compel the purchaser to
comply with its axioms or directions.
