A case has been decided during the
week in ST. Paul, which involves a
curious legal proposition. E. T.
Abbot, the civil engineer, while at
work in this section of the country,
expected telegraph message, which
was sent to him at Ashland Mr..
Abbot then came to this city, having
left orders at Ashland to repeat the
message to him in this city. The
message reached Ashland, but was
not sent to Washburn. The failure
to receive the telegram was of great
inconvenience to Mr.. Abbot, and he
claims to suffered considerable dam
age. He sued the Western Union
people, and Justice Brown, of the
supreme court. at st. Paul, handed
down the decision, which holds that
the practice of repeating messages
by telegraph companies, where the
party to whom the message is direct
ed has gone to another point, is a
pure gratuity, and failure to do SO
does not entitle the party to damages
for non-delivery.
