ST. PAUL & SIOUX CITY RD. CO. v. WINONA & ST. PETER RD.


112 U.S. 720 (1885)

ST. PAUL & SIOUX CITY RAILROAD COMPANY & Another v. WINONA & ST. PETER RAILROAD COMPANY.

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided January 5, 1885.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. E.C. Palmer for plaintiff in error.

Mr. Thomas Wilson for defendant in error.


MR. JUSTICE MILLER delivered the opinion of the court.

This is a writ of error to the Supreme Court of the State of Minnesota, and a motion is made to dismiss it for want of jurisdiction.

It will sufficiently appear in the opinion on the merits, that the rights asserted by both parties are founded on acts of Congress, and require the construction of those acts to determine their conflicting claims. The motion to dismiss, therefore, cannot prevail.
