Cafasso v. Philadelphia & R. Ry. Co.
Cafasso v. Philadelphia & R. Ry. Co.
169 F. 887; 1909 U.S. App. LEXIS 5484
Opinion of the Court
In my opinion a railroad company, whose railroad is not within the state of New York, but which operates its tugs, boats, and barges in the waters of said state, and delivers coal to piers within said state, is “doing business” therein, and subject therein to the service of process.
The motion to set aside the service of the summons and complaint, and to dismiss the action for want of jurisdiction, is denied.
