Willis v. Erie City Passenger Railway Co.

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania October 17, 1898

Willis v. Erie City Passenger Railway Co., 188 Pa. 71 (Pa. 1898)

41 A. 1119; 1898 Pa. LEXIS 576

Dean, Fell, McCollum, Mitchell, Pee, Sterrett

Opinion of the Court

Pee Curiam,

This appeal by the plaintiffs was argued with No. 345, January term, 1897, between the same parties, in which the defendants were appellants. In that case an opinion has just been filed affirming the decree.

We are not convinced that there is anything in either of the appellants’ specifications of error in this case that require either a reversal or modification of the decree; nor do we think there is anything in either of the questions involved that requires discussion.

Decree affirmed and appeal dismissed at appellants’ costs.

Where a street railway company is authorized, not only to construct a railway, but also “necessary turn-outs,” such power is not exhausted until both the railway and necessary turn-outs are built, and is not affected by an attempt upon the part of the road commissioners and land owners to withdraw their consent as to unconstructed switches and turn-outs.
