Louisville Nashville R.R. Co. v. Scott

U.S.
Jan 3, 1911
219 U.S. 209 (1911)

Opinion

ERROR TO THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY.

No. 286.

Argued October 19, 20, 1910. Decided January 3, 1911.

Decided on authority of Atlantic Coast Line R.R. Co. v. Riverside Mills, ante, p. 186.

THE facts are stated in the opinion.

Mr. Joseph R. Lamar for plaintiff in error in No. 215 and Mr. C.H. Moorman, with whom Mr. Benjamin D. Warfield and Mr. Henry L. Stone were on the brief, for plaintiff in error in this case.

See ante, p. 186.

Mr. Wm. S. Kenyon, Assistant to the Attorney General, with whom The Attorney General was on the brief, by leave of the court for the United States, as amicus curiae in support of the constitutionality of § 20 of the act of June, 1906.

There was no appearance for defendant in error.


This case was heard with No. 215, Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co. v. Riverside Mills, just decided. Like that case it presents only the question of the constitutionality of the Carmack amendment of the act to regulate commerce.

The facts are not substantially different, and the judgment of the Court of Appeals of the Commonwealth of Kentucky is affirmed upon the authority of that case.

Affirmed.
