66 F. 883 | 5th Cir. | 1894
The questions involved in this case are not open questions in this court. On reasoning which we have approved, and still consider sound and sufficient, both of the vital propositions submitted have been decided by the supreme court of Texas adversely to the contention of the plaintiff in error. Citizens’ Bank v. City of Terrell, 78 Tex. 456, 14 S. W. 1003; Nolan Co. v. State, 83 Tex. 183, 17 S. W. 823; Francis v. Howard Co., 4 C. C. A. 460, 54 Fed. 487; Millsaps v. City of Terrell, 8 C. C. A. 554, 60 Fed. 193. We have read with care and interest the learned and able brief submitted for the plaintiff in error, but are unwilling to open the questions which we have settled on full argument of counsel, and careful consideration by the court. The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.
