Texas & P. R. v. Bloom

60 F. 979 | 5th Cir. | 1894

McCOBMICK, Circuit Judge.

The motion of the defendant to dismiss this writ of error we do not consider well taken, and it is refused.

The substantial issues pressed by the plaintiff in error have been fully litigated by it in recent cases in the state courts. Railway Co. v. Johnson, 76 Tex. 421, 13 S. W. 463; Railway Co. v. Overheiser, 76 Tex. 437, 13 S. W. 468; Railway Co. v. Griffin, 76 Tex. 441, 13 S. W. 471. On the authority of these cases, as affirmed by the supreme court of the United States in Railway Co. v. Johnson, in their opinion delivered January 3, 1894 (14 Sup. Ct. 250), the judgment of the circuit court must be affirmed.
