City of Philadelphia v. Continental Passenger Railway Co.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided October 5, 1896 · Dean, Fell, Green, Sterrett, Williams
177 Pa. 386; 35 A. 1132; 1896 Pa. LEXIS 996

City of Philadelphia v. Continental Passenger Railway Co.

Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Mr. Justice Williams,

The liability of the defendant to the city of Philadelphia is fixed, by the special law incorporating it, in almost the identical words found in the charter of the Empire Pass. Ry. Co. considered in the City of Phila. v. The Empire Pass. Ry. Co., supra, 882, just decided. The question is therefore identical with that raised and decided in that case. For reasons there given the assignments of error in this case are overruled and the judgment is affirmed.
