Pugh v. Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs Railroad

24 S.W. 440, 118 Mo. 506, 1893 Mo. LEXIS 171

Opinion

Burgess, J.

The plaintiff brought this suit to recover the statutory penalty of three times the amount of alleged overcharges paid by him to defendant for-hauling several hundred car loads of wood from different points to the city of St. Joseph.

The case is in every essential particular a parallel case to that of Ross v. Railroad, 111 Mo. 18, and, for-the reasons expressed by this court in that case, the; judgment in this case is reversed.

All concur.
