Marmorstein v. Pennsylvania Railroad

Opinion of the Court

Ehrlich, Ch. J.

We hold that on the evidence adduced, and the finding based upon it, the defendant, as a common carrier, became liable for the delivery of the baggage at the place of final destination, and that delivery at St. Louis to the connecting carrier did not relieve it from responsibility.

The judgment must, therefore, be affirmed, with costs.

Newburger and Van Wyck, JJ., concur.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.
