Opinion of the Court

SENEY, J.

There was.nothing in the contract between Morton and the railroad company whereby the latter acquired a title to the ticket because it was in the hands of a third person. The most the conductor could do would be to refuse to accept the ticket from the third party aDd collect, the regular fare. Morton pur- . chased the b'pok, and the title to the sanie passed from the railroad com'pany when it was sold. , ,.
