Pullman's Palace-Car Co. v. American Loan & Trust Co.

84 F. 18, 28 C.C.A. 263, 1897 U.S. App. LEXIS 2172

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Notwithstanding the ingenióos and able argument of counsel for appellant, we are unable to perceive in this case other than an effort to establish as a preferential debt a claim for the stipulated compensation for the use of cars, or, as it is generally called, “car rental.” Under the authority of Thomas v. Car Co., 149 U. S. 95, 13 Sup. Ct. 824, this cannot be done. The order is therefore affirmed.
