Cannot Collect Toll on the Hartford
Road.-Judge Duncan has signed an order
restraining the Baltimore and Hartford Turn
pike Company from collecting tolls on the road
at any of its gates until the road shall have
been placed in proper repair. The order was
based on q petition filed by Mr.. John w. B.
Clayton and others against the company on
July Sd last.
5 The petitioners, at the time of the filing of
their petition, asked that sheriff's jury be
summoned to review the road and return an
inquisition to the court setting forth its find
ings. This request of the petitioners was
granted and ON July oath the jury submitted
its report, stating that the road was badly out
of repair. The report also recommended that
an order be passed enioining the company from
collecting tolls until its road should be put in
good condition. The case was appealed by the
company to the Circuit Court, and on Septem-
Der 18th an opinion was handed down sustain
ing the petitioners.
On October 10Th an order was entered by
the court forbidding the company to collect
tolls at any of its gates in Baltimore county
until otherwise ordered. From this order an
appeal was taken to the Court of Appeals, but
the company failed to have the record of the
case transcribed, and the petitioners obtained
the order prohibiting the further collection of
tolls at any of the gates in the county: ms
does not apply to the first toll gate, which is
inside the city limits.
Mr.. Elmer R. Halle and Major John L.
Yellott represented the petitioners and Mr..
