Bights of Railway Passengers.

The following decision has been rendered by the United States Supreme Court: “ Shields vs. State of Ohio, error to the Supreme Court of Ohio. In this case plaintiff in error, who was a conductor on the Lake Shore and Southern Railroad, between Elyria and Cleveland, put one Ulrich off a car for

refusing to pay more than three cents per mile under the general law of the State limiting fares to this rate. Suit for assault was sustained against the conductor, the court instructing the jury that he had no legal right to demand more fare than was tendered by the passenger, and the judgment below is here affirmed.”
