Excerpt from Western Pacific Railway Company (a Corporation), Appellant, Vs; Southern Pacific Company (a Corporation) Et Al;, Appellees: Appeal From the United States Circuit Court, Northern District of California; Argument of F. W. M. Cutcheon, on Behalf of Western Pacific Railway Company, Appellant He quotes other similar expressions.
