RIGHTS IN SLEEPING CARS.
Passenger Map Take Seats In Pullman
II Others Are Filled.

(From the Columbia JOurnal)
Some men were discussing the right of
n passenger to take Il seat in the sleeper
il he could not get seat in the common
coach. and one of them said he did that
very thing, and when the Pullman con-
ductor demanded extra pay for the seat.
he refused and retained the seat.
There was doubt expressed by the others
that one could maintain such a position
under the law The impression is general
that he could not.
1t is quite certain. if IA passenger could
not obtain n seat in the common coach.
he could so into a chair car or any other
kind of a car owned by the road and
maintain his claim for n scat there; and
if any employe of the road attempted to
eject him. the railroad would be liable
for damages.
The same rule applies to sleeper or
drawing-rOom car, owned by another
company, and attached to tho train.
There is definite decision on this point
by the New York court of appeals. In
the case there cited. Thorpe vs.. the New
York Central. the plaintiff took passage
on one of the defendants trains lie
could get no seat in the common coach.
so he went into the sleeper and sat down.
The porter demanded extra pay and the
passenger refused. Thereupon, the por-
ter attempted to eject him. which at
tempt prompted a suit for damages, IN
which suit the plaintiff got judgment.
Exceptions were taken and the case
went to the court OF appeals, which af-
frmed the court below. The court of
appeals plainly said it was 1.-THE duty of
the defendant to furnish plaintiff a seat
and further. 1.-The plaintiff cannot be
deemed wrong-d oer in passing into the
dra wing room car and taking a seat. I'M
til seats in the other cars should be va
Gated.
In the court below the defendant :
counsel asked the court to charge that
when the passenger passed tAfouSn the
car and saw that the seats were occu-
pied with luggage. it was his duty to ask
the conductor for seat before passing
into the drawing-room car The court
refused to so charge. and the court "i
