Head Matter:
The President and Directors of the Columbian Turnpike v. Robert Woodworth.
THIS was an action brought for the penalty under the ninth section of the act incorporating the Columbia Turnpike Road, for simply riding through a gate without paying toll, without any force or violence.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The act had in Contemplation only forcible and violent passings t the plaintiffs may sue for their toll, but this certainly is not a case within the penalty of the section relied on.
