In the case OF w. j. Blodgett, admins
traitor Of the Martin Flint estate, VS.. the
Central Vermont Railway company, the
supreme court has reversed the judgment
OF the lower court for the plaintiff to re-
cover $3.50 and has awarded .costs to the
defendant. Martin Flint, the intestate,
was killed on May IS, 1905, at highway
crossing in West Berlin by mail train OF
the Central Vermont railroad. The plain
tiff in his action for damages claimed that
the law was violated inasmuch as the train
that caused the fatality was running at a
speed of some 45 miles per hour through
the station of West Berlin, while section
1921 OF the Vermont statutes provides that
il anyone runs through station at over
four miles per hour he shall be fined $40
for each such offence. But Judge Watson's
opinion holds that this statute applies only
to stations that are built out over the track
80 that trains must literally run through
the station. Cowles & Moulton OF Bur-
lington were attorneys for Mr.. Blodgett.
