Warren Gas Light Co. v. Pennsylvania Gas Co.

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Warren Gas Light Co. v. Pennsylvania Gas Co., 161 Pa. 510 (Pa. 1894)
29 A. 101; 1894 Pa. LEXIS 724
Dean, Green, McCollum, Mitchell, Sterrett

Warren Gas Light Co. v. Pennsylvania Gas Co.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

All that is necessary to be said in justification of the decree dismissing plaintiff’s bill, etc., will be found in the clear and convincing opinion of the learned president of the common pleas. He has fully considered and satisfactorily disposed of all the questions necessarily involved in the case. On principle as well as authority his conclusions, as to the extent of plaintiff’s exclusive charter rights, appear to be correct; and further discussion of the subject is unnecessary.

Decree affirmed on the opinion of the court below and appeal dismissed with costs to be paid by appellant.
