Download or read book American Railroad Law Classic Reprint written by Simeon Eben Baldwin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-05 with total page 838 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Railroad Law This book was begun in 1884. The author had then been for twenty years in the active practice of the legal profession, and continued in it for some time afterwards. In his earlier years at the bar he was more often engaged in suing than in defending railroad companies; in the later years more in counselling and defending them than in suing them. Since 1876, also, he has taught Railroad Law, at some length, to the third-year class in the Yale Law School. He has therefore studied the subject enough to have some appreciation of its difficulties. Part of these, it has seemed to him, have been due to the inclusion in treatises upon it of much that is not peculiar to railroads. His attempt has been to limit his work to what is peculiar to them, so far as this was possible without sacrifice of order or danger of obscurity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Railroads, Vol. 8 In using the table Of cases, it should be borne in mind that courts and text-books sometimes cite cases with the full name of the railroad corporation, sometimes with the brief or popular name, and often merely as Railroad. SO far as possible, different citations Of the same case, from different sources, have been placed under the full and proper name of the road; but as it has not been always practicable to trace up the cases inadequately cited, the reader who cannot find the case he seeks under its full title, will do well to look also under the word Railroad.

This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Street Railway Accident Law The recent development of our American street railway system has been little short of marvelous. Today our coun try is covered with hundreds and thousands of miles of track, designed for the use of horse, electric, and cable cars, dummy lines, and elevated trains. Great as have been the advantages attending the extension of the system, corresponding defects have not been lacking, and the appalling number of street railway accidents, instead of growing less year by year, as the public becomes more and more familiar with the dangers attending the operation of street cars, seems, on the contrary, to be steadily increasing. It is perhaps hardly necessary to add that these accidents are a most prolific source of litigation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American and English Railroad Cases, Vol. 1: A Collection of All the Railroad Cases in the Courts of Last Resort in America and England Such, I think, has been the uniform construction given to this clause by both the legislative and °udicial departments of the gov ernment. I think it will be ve ificult to find a single instance, before the present, where the egislature, since the adoption of the present constitution, have granted to a private corporation the power to exercise the right of eminent domain, exce t on condition that payment or tender of compensation shoul pre cede appropriation, if the erson entitled to it was known and of full capacity, and his tit e was free and unquestioned. There may be such instances; but if they exist, it is certain the power thus granted has never been exercised in defiance of the will of the land-owner. Under charters containing the condition above mentioned, the courts of this state have repeatedly held that the corporation acquired no right to appropriate the lands until com gensation was first made, either by payment or tender.

Upon the same day, yet no fires had been communicated other than these upon this day from this engine that engines in good order, and carefully managed, seldom communicated. Fire to the adjacent grass and stubble and where it appeared that something was seen to be thrown out of the smoke-stack, and fall into the neighboring stubble, and almost immediately the stubble was in a blaze, and thereafter a piece of coal was found surrounded by ashes in the stubble, and apparently the remnant of a piece of coal six inches in diameter, which had been there burning; and where the conductor of the train, at the first station after pass ing these fires, telegraphed to the assistant superintendent of the road, that the en gine was setting the country on fire and where it appeared from the testimony of experts that where an engine starts a suc cession of fires, and others operated along the same road under similar circumstances of wind and weather do not start any, the difference can be reasonably accounted for only upon the supposition of defects in the construction, condition, or management of the engine doing the damage, it was held that a verdict finding negligence would be sustained, although several competent wit nesses who examined the engine at and shortly after the fire testified, that it was in perfect order, and supplied with the best appliances for preventing the escape of fire, and that the engineer was compe tent and careful, and he testified that he used all possible care and precautions to prevent the escape of sparks and fire upon that day; and although there was no direct testimony contradicting these witnesses, and that it was impossible for any one from the testimony to point out in what respect, if at all, the engine was defective, or out of order, or the engineer guilty of negligence.
