WHERE y TOWN GRANTS \
STREET RAILWAY a FRANCHISE
LIMITING THE RATE OF FARE,
a PERSON ELECTED FROM a CAR
FOR REFUSING TO PAY MORE.
THAN THE RATE, MAY AVAIL
HIMSELF OF THE CONTRACT. IN
a SUIT FOR ASSAULT AND BAT
Terry.
This was m action for assault and
battery by Adams for being elected
from car of the defendant company.
He paid his fare of five cents and when
he changed cars. asked the conductor
Tor n receipt or transfer, which was re-
fused him. He then got on another car
of the company. telling the conductor
that he had paid his fare on the other
car. and refusing to pay another fare
was elected. The town had granted an
exclusive franchise to the company,
limiting the fare from one point to any
other point on defendants lines to five
cents. There was Judgment for plain
tiff and defendant appealed The
court says:
The only question is the one which
has been chiefly pressed in argument
whether the plaintiff can avail him
self as an individual, of the right to
Si'Liii tHc pcHeiil Oh the provisions of
that contract in this action. The con-
tract in question was made for the ben
eft of passengers using the defendants
cars. The town can hardly show dam
ages for its breach, and. therefore If
the people for whose benefit 1t was
made cannot recover for It's breach. no
one can. True. the town might take
steps to avoid the contract and ston
the road for failure to perform condi-
tons, but, in so doing, 1t would cut off
the privileges of many to redress the
wrong of one. This would neitheA. no
reasonable nor an adequate remedy.
1T must have been Intended to be n
contract for the benefit of the public
upon which passengers could rely. and
Tor breach of which they could seek
fedress. otherwise it is q. contract of lit
tie obligation and force. 1t is to be
noted that this case is not brought
upon the contract. The plaintiff sues
Tor trespass. The defendant pleads ius
tiiication upon the ground that the
piaintif was elected for refusing to
pay a lawful fare" The evidence of
the contract shows that the provision
me rare shall not exceed five
cents. fixes such fare as the maximum
lawful rare between the points in oues
ton in this case. The plaintiff having
paid this fare. has paid all that he
could be required to pay under the con-
tract, which. being for the benefit of
passengers, class OF which he was
one. was for his benefit. and of which
he could take advantage under the
principles stated above We think.
therefore, that the plea of Justification
Is not sustained. Affirmed
