A TICI<ET DECISION.


trnct When II Sells one.
Chicago. March 9.-Judge Adams to-
day decided the case OF milford n
Mackenzie, ticket brokers. against the
Chicago and Alton road, finding the
Issue for plaintiffs and fixing their
damages at $i0S5i. Milford IL Mac
kenzie were firm OF ticket brokers'
who in 1850 had an office In this city
and In st. Louis. In that year they
bought OF the Chicago and Alton road
$4,000 worth OF tickets at so cents on
the 81 the tickets being good over the
Alton between Kansas city and Bloom
ington. thence east over the Lake Erie
and Western. Shortly after the pur-
chase of the tickets II passenger rate
war set in, and for two years the tick
cts were unsaleable, until the year
loS2. In June OF that year, after tho
brokers had disposed of about half Of
the tickets, the Lake Erie and West
ern, which had gone into tho hands of
n receiver, reported that the agreement
between itself ond the Alton by which
the tickets had been made good over Its
lines east OF bloomington was at an
end, and the tickets, or what was left
OF them In the hands of the brokers.
became worthless. The brokers began
suit against the Alton because II was
solvent, while the other road involved
in the transaction WAS not. The de-
Tense Of the Alton was that In the sale
OF the tickets It acted merely as the
agent OF the Lake Erie and Western.
and that the latter corporation was
the one which was liable. Judge Adams
held In effect that the tickets were a
contract, made by the Alton.
