commodations for cattle At stations at which
tho railroad company undertook to receive
cattle for shipment and transportation or
to deliver them when brought thither.
The Judgment OF tho Circuit Court was
taken to the Supreme Court at Washington
for review. Before that tribunal 1t was ar
gued In behalf Of the railroad company that
enclosed lots or yards were absolutely neces-
sary to enable 1t to receive live stock from
shippers, or deliver live stock to consignees
without danger or Inconvenience to the pub
lie, In tho limits Of city; and therefore that
the railroad company, without any special
contract for that purpose, might properly
require tho shipper or consignee Of the cat
tie to pay an additional charge for the use OF
such lots or yards besides what was paid by
way OF nero freight.

The conclusion reached was that the re-

Judgment below was right.
