South & North Ala. Railroad v. Reid

Opinion of the Court

BEICKELL, C. J.

It is plain that the judgment of the Circuit Court, in view of the evidence, is erroneous. The claim of the plaintiff was within the bar of the statute (Code of 1876, § 1701), requiring that presentment of such claims must be made to one of the several enumerated officers or agents of the company, or suit thereon commenced, within sixty days from the time they accrued.

Eeversed and remanded.
