A decision favorable to the defendant was
given by Judge Colt in the United States
Circuit Court, Boston, Tuesday. in the case
of John E. Dewitt VS.. the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy Railroad Company ct al. The
plaintiff is the owner Of nine $1,000 bonds of
the issue of 1872, which were issued by the
defendant corporation, and we're payable on
January /, 1896. with interest at seven per
cent per annum. The bonds were not
secured by mortgage on the property of the
railroad, and on July !, 1873. the defendants
executed mortgage to the defendant trus
tees whereby all its property was conveyed
to the trustees. After making this mortgage
the railroad company issued two printed cir
culars to the effect that holders OF the I'M
secured bonds had the opportunity to ex-
change them for the consolidated mortgage
bonds. In January, 1881, 1t was decided to
make no further exchange and all proposals
in exchange of the 1872 bonds have been re-
fused since that date. In August, 1887, the
plaintiff asked the company to exchange bis
bonds for the 1873 issue and was refused

corporation be ordered to deliver to him

change for his nine 1872 bonds. Judge Colt
