An Important Decision.
WASHINGTON, May Son the 5th Of |
March, 1873, Morgan A. Lewis, pas
senRer on one Of the trains of the Chica- |
60, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Com
pany, rendered Neil Ruggles, conductor
for that company, eighteen cents rs fare
for his transportation from Buda to Ne |
ponset, distance Of six miles. This was
the maximum rate, at three cents per |
mile, prescribed by the statute Of Illi- |
pois then in force. The conductor de- |
manded twenty cents, which was the |
fare fixed by the railroad company.
Lewis refused TO pay more than eight |
cen cents, and the conductor attempted |
10 eject him from the car. For this &C.
ton the conductor was prosecuted be. |
fore q Justice Of the Peace upon the |
chsrgeof assault and battery and fined $40 |
through the Courts by successive ap-
psals. The Supreme Court holds, first,
that grants Of immunity from legitimate
government control are never to be re- |
sumed. On the contrary, the presump-
tions are all the other way, and unless
exemption is clearly established by the
legislative enactment, all subjects are
within its general jurisdiction, as the
public interests may seem to require.
The Judgment of the Supreme Court Of
Illinois Is affirmed with costs. The opin.
ion was rendered by Chief Justice Waite,
Justice Harlan concurring in the judg-
ment, but not in opinion. Justice
Blotchford did not set in opinion in the
case.
