vile Railroad Company.
The opinion IN this case, delivered by Judge
Green, covers 10 pages of manuscript. Judges
Williams and McCulium filed separate con-
currence, and Judge Sterrett dissented. The
opinion of the Court opens with the remark

practical question, and even il il had not that
power the mortgage would nevertneiess De
valid. and operative as to everything else mort
gagged. 1t is held that the power to mortgage
as gwen in the charter. and later acts is OF the
most ample character and that the rlgnt 20
borrow money and issue bonds is necessary
incldentto the exercise of the power.
