avcrred that IL Is the duty Of a COM

and that the wharfage was Illegally COL

An injunction was asked for in each
case, stopping this alleged imposition and
requiring the defendant companies 10
render accounts showing the amount OF

and asking for a decree against the com

The defendant companies denied the
allegations OF the plaintiffs bills, saying
that they have never made charge or

Norfolk merchants, and especially denied
in their answers that they had ever
charged or collected of the plaintiffs or
