A Case of General interest Disposed of.
In the Circuit Court here on Tuesday the case
of the Baltimore and Yorktown Turnpike
Company against Mr.. John W. Smith, q well
known 10th district farmer, was tried before
Judges Burke and Duncan and jury. 1t in
volved the right Of the company to collect 3
cents toll at tollgate No. l, nearest Baltimore,
and cents toll at toll-gate No. 2, at Towson,
for each one-horse vehicle and double that
amount for each twohorse team, and SO on in
the same proportion.
A number of persons using the turnpike
have been refusing to pay toll: claiming that as
| they turn off the turnpike at the north edge
| of Towson and go out the Dulany's Valley
| turnpike they ought to pay smaller amount
| of toll at gate No. q Under the decision of the
| Court of Appeals of Maryland in the case ofthe
Baltimore and Frederick Turnpike Company
| against Routzahn, the Court ruled that no evil
| dence was admissible to show how far the per-
| son paying toll had travelled on the turnpike,
| but that the company is allowed to collect at
one gate for the distance to the next gate, re.
instructions the jury gave verdict for the com.
pany for the full sum claimed, which amounted
| to only 81 49,
It is likely that all users of the turnpike will
now pay promptly the tolls which are IN ar
rears, so as to avoid suits, as the company has
| declared its intention to enter suit Immediately
on all claims for tolls that are outstanding.
| This question has been agitated for more
| than a year and several attempts have been
made to cut down some of the toll.gates in the
county. The case was appealed from Justice
| Joseph B. Herbert, before whom it was tried
several months ago, and who gave verdict for
| the amount claimed and as there is no con-
stitutional question involved the case cannot
be taken to the Court of Appeals and Tuesdays
| decision is final
It was declared by counsel in the opening
statement that this was test case, and no
doubt all users of the turnpike will accept 1t as
| such and make no further objections to the
paying of tolls as charged BY the turnpike COM com:
pany at the various gates. The case was tried
| by Mr.. Elmer j. Cook for the company, and
| Mr.. Elmer r. Halle for Mr.. Smith.
