Pugh v. Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs Railroad

118 Mo. 506 | Mo. | 1893

Burgess, J.

The plaintiff brought this suit to recover the statutory penalty of three times the amount of alleged overcharges paid by him to defendant for-hauling several hundred car loads of wood from different points to the city of St. Joseph.

The case is in every essential particular a parallel case to that of Ross v. Railroad, 111 Mo. 18, and, for-the reasons expressed by this court in that case, the; judgment in this case is reversed.

All concur.
