Morton v. L. E. & W. Ry. Co.

10 Ohio Cir. Dec. 812

Opinion

Seney, J.

There was nothing in the contract between Morton and the railroad company whereby the latter acquired a title to the ticket because it was in the hands of a third person. The most the conductor could do would be to refuse to accept the ticket from the third party and collect the regular fare. Morton purchased the book, and the title to the same passed from the railroad company when it was sold.
