A Georgia railroad and one of its patrons have got as far as the su. preme court of that state with a law suit in which the sum of money at issue is eighteen cents, but there is a principle involved which both sides are determined should be settled for all time, III Atlanta, as ill most cities South of New EnglAnd, one cannot enter a train without exhibiting a ticket and having it puched at the gates. An Atlanta man, to aid a wo man with a good deal of hand bag gage, bought a ticket to the nearest station beyond at. the price named. It was stamped "redeemable if not used.'" The purchaser before leav ing the station presented it for re demption, but this was refused. He then went to the local court,, which decided in his favor. The railroad company then appealed to a higher eot, on the ground that, in his pur chase of tg ticket he simply pre tended to enter into a contract, and his purpose was a defraud. Again the purliaser obtained a judgment, and the ease is now hef'ore the su PIeit 1ourt of Georgia. The prinlci ple of tile plaintiff is that the rail road had no right to question his motives when he presented the ticket for redemption, and that of the rail road company is that the existence of the gate system is at issue. Highly important. decisions have been based on issue involvinrig very small money considerations. The su PIeIe (our of the United States, last winter, gave a good deal of time and research to a ease carried before it on appeal involvin.g only $24 . A railroad wias in this case, tle defend int.
