MARMORSTEIN, Respondent, v. PENNSYLVANIA R. CO., Appellant.
(City Court of New York, General Term.
March 19, 1895.)

Headnote

Action by Jacob Marmorstein against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Robinson, Biddle & Ward, for appellant. Alfred B. Jaworower, for respondent.

We hold that, on the evidence adduced, and the finding based upon it, the defendant, as a common carrier, became liable for the delivery of the baggage at the place of final destination, and that delivery at St. Louis, to the connecting carrier, did not relieve it from responsibility. The judgment must therefore be affirmed, with costs.
