Irwin v. Oregon Ry. & Nav. Co.
U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Southern New York · Decided October 15, 1886 · Wallace
28 F. 833; 1886 U.S. App. LEXIS 2370
Irwin v. Oregon Ry. & Nav. Co.

Opinion of the Court

Wallace, J.

I have carefully examined the brief and authorities submitted by the counsel for Mr. Villard on the petition for a rehearing, but am unable to see liow he, as a promoter and abettor of the acts which have worked an equitable wrong to the complainants, can escape responsibility to the same extent with the corporation he rep*834resented. The petition for a rehearing has been considered on the merits; that is, as though the cause were here upon' a rehearing.

An order is directed denying the prayer of the petition.
