$497 (Mo.App.) Under Negotiable Instrument Law (Rev. St. 1909, §§ 10022, 10025, and 10029), in a suit on a note by an indorsee on proof that the title of the payee was defective because the instrument was obtained by fraud, the burden shifts to the plaintiff to prove that he acquired title as a holder in due course. Hill v. Dillon, 161 S. W. 881.

Mere want or failure of consideration for a note sued on by an indorsee, not coupled with negotiation in breach of faith, or under such circumstances as to amount to a fraud, does not constitute defective title so as to change the burden of proof of bona fide holder under Rev. St. 1909, & 10029.-Id.

I. OFFENSES AND RESPONSIBILITY THEREFOR.

83 (Tex.Cr.App.) If the wrecking of saloons was for the purpose of stealing goods from them, all present and engaging in it would be guilty of burglary, but if the breaking was actuated only by a mob and riot spirit, with no intent to appropriate the property, there was no burglary.-Jobe v. State, 161 S. W. 966. II. PROSECUTION AND PUNISHMENT. $41 (Mo.) Evidence held to sustain a finding that defendant broke into a corncrib.-State v. Duff, 161 S. W. 683.

§ 57 (Mo.App.) A purchaser of goods shipped subject to the consignor's order, with draft attached, before honoring the draft, has no right to maintain replevin against the carrier to obtain possession of the goods.-Burgess v. St. Louis & S. F. R. Co., 161 S. W. 858.

§ 59 (Tenn.) Where the draft originally attached to a bill of lading held by complainant bank by transfer, as well as three other drafts against the same bill, were dishonored and taken up by the maker before the fifth draft was made, at which time the bill which covered a domestic shipment was more than three months old, held, that the bank was not an innocent transferee of the bill of lading.-Fourth Nat. Bank v. Nashville, C. & St. L. Ry. Co., 161 S. W. 1144.

§ 69 (Tenn.) Though a railroad company wrongfully delivered grain without the surrender of the bill of lading, the consignor had no right of action against it where they were not injured because they had received payment for their goods.-Fourth Nat. Bank v. Nashville, C. & St. L. Ry. Co., 161 S. W. 1144.

In an action by the holder of a bill of lading for surrendering freight without presentation of the bill of lading, evidence held to show that defendant's negligence was not the proximate cause of the bank's loss.-Id.

(F) Loss of or Injury to Goods. § 132 (Tex.Civ.App.) There is no presumption that property, when delivered to a carrier for carriage, was in the same condition as when delivered to the consignee, where there was evilivered to the company and was damaged when dence that it was in good condition when dedelivered to the consignee.-Missouri, K. & T. Ry. Co. of Texas v. Western Automatic Music Co., 161 S. W. 380.

§ 134 (Tex.Civ.App.) Evidence, in an action for damage to a piano while being shipped on defendant's railroad, held to sustain a finding of ownership of the piano in plaintiff.-Missouri, K. & T. Ry. Co. of Texas v. Western Automatic Music Co., 161 S. W. 380.

(J) Charges and Liens.

§ 194 (Tex.Civ.App.) As a rule a consignor with whom a contract of shipment is made is impliedly liable for the freight charges, irrespective of whether he is owner.-Chicago, R. I. & G. Ry. Co. v. Floyd, 161 S. W. 954.

While a consignor is ordinarily liable for the freight charges, if the owner is the real consignor, and the person making the shipment, to the carrier's knowledge, only acts as the consignor's agent, the owner, and not his agent, is liable for the freight charges.-Id.

IV. CARRIAGE OF PASSENGERS. (A) Relation Between Carrier and Pas

senger.

$ 239 (Ark.) Under the statutes, a person who goes to a railroad station for the purpose of becoming a passenger on a train, but is given no opportunity to purchase a ticket, has the right to board the train as a passenger without a ticket. St. Louis, I. M. & S. Ry. Co. v. Green, 161 S. W. 148.

$241 (Mo.App.) A railway postal clerk is a passenger. Farmer v. St. Louis, I. M. & S. Ry. Co., 161 S. W. 327.

§ 246 (Ark.) In an action for personal injuries, evidence held to show that plaintiff before attempting to board a train was given no opportunity to purchase a ticket. St. Louis, I. M. & S. Ry. Co. v. Green, 161 S. W. 148.

(D) Personal Injuries.

§ 280 (Mo.App.) A mail clerk assumes the risk of injuries incident to his transportation in a mail car, though the carrier is required to exercise toward him the same high degree of care generally imposed in favor of passengers. -Farmer v. St. Louis, I. M. & S. Ry. Co., 161 S. W. 327.

§ 286 (Ark.) Railroad companies must keep in a safe condition all parts of their platforms and approaches thereto to which the public would naturally resort, and all parts of their station grounds reasonably near to the platform where passengers boarding or leaving trains would ordinarily be likely to go.-St. Louis & S. F. R. Co. v. Grider, 161 S. W. 1032.

$286 (Tex.Civ.App.) A railroad company which maintains an unlighted and unguarded station platform elevated four or five feet above the ground is guilty of negligence towards its passengers. Stamp v. Eastern Ry. Co. of New Mexico, 161 S. W. 450.

$ 287 (Ark.) A railroad company denying an intending passenger opportunity to purchase a ticket, and, on his attempting to board the train without one, told him to go back and procure one, held bound to give him a reasonable time to do so.-St. Louis, I. M. & S. Ry. Co. v. Green, 161 S. W. 148.

New Mexico gave plaintiff a pass for an intrastate trip, a condition in the pass exempting the company from all liability, whether caused by its own negligence or not, was valid.Stamp v. Eastern Ry. Co. of New Mexico, 161 S. W. 450.

A pass given as a gratuity is none the less a free pass because the carrier requires the person using to sign an agreement exempting it from liability for injuries.-Id.

A pass given by a railroad company to the mother of one of its employés is none the less a free pass because the giving of such pass was customary, where the employé could not have recovered in case of the carrier's refusal.-Id.

§ 316 (Tex.Civ.App.) In an action by a passenger who fell while alighting from a train from her dress catching upon something, where there was no showing that it caught on any projection upon the platform, the doctrine of negligence.-Gulf, C. & S. F. Ry. Co. v. Davis, res ipsa loquitur does not raise an inference of 161 S. W. 932.

While a railroad company must exercise a high degree of care to furnish suitable cars and platforms, it is not an insurer in this respect, and one injured upon a car platform has the burden of proving the company's negligence.Id.

§ 317 (Ark.) In an action for personal injuries while attempting to board a moving train, advice of defendant's agent to board the train and his offer of help held admissible on the question of negligence.-St. Louis, I. M. & S. Ry. Co. v. Green, 161 S. W. 148.

§ 318 (Tex.Civ.App.) In an action for injuries received by a passenger who fell while alighting from a car, a judgment in her favor cannot be upheld, where the testimony showed that the accident was as reasonably attributable to a nonactionable cause as to the company's negligence.-Gulf, C. & S. F. Ry. Co. v. Davis, 161 S. W. 932.

§ 320 (Ark.) Whether defendant should be charged with knowledge that the platform through which plaintiff fell and which was intended for freight would be used by passengers was for the jury.-St. Louis & S. F. R. Co. v. Grider, 161 S. W. 1032.

§ 320 (Ark.) In an action for injuries to a passenger by the derailment of a car, the question of the carrier's negligence held for the jury. -St. Louis, I. M. & S. R. Co. v. Thurman, 161 S. W. 1054.

§ 320 (Mo.App.) In an action by a railroad mail clerk injured by a jar when the engine was coupled, held, that the presumption of negligence arising under the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur was sufficient to carry the case to the jury. Farmer v. St. Louis, I. M. & S. Ry. Co., 161 S. W. 327.

§ 321 (Ark.) In an action for personal injury by falling through a platform at defendant's station, which was in fact intended for freight, but was not so designated, and was seldom so used, held, that defendant's requested instructions as to its duty to maintain in proper con

Where the location of a cemetery to a large extent blocked the growth of one part of a city, an ordinance, enacted, not to protect the public health, but to benefit speculators and landowners in the vicinity, which prohibited subsequent burials in the cemetery and would tend to work the destruction of the cemetery, is unreasonable, tyrannical, and invalid.-Id. § 22 (Ky.) Under Ky. St. § 1336, the sanctity of a burial ground does not depend upon whether the particular portion is filled with graves.Cave Hill Cemetery Co. v. Gosnell, 161 S. W. 980.

§ 323 (Tex.Civ.App.) That a railroad company owes the highest degree of care to a passenger upon its premises will not excuse the contributory negligence of the passenger.Stamp v. Eastern Ry. Co. of New Mexico, 161 See Mandamus, § 79.

S. W. 450.

§ 327 (Ark.) A passenger, injured by falling through a platform while waiting at defendant's station for a train, could not recover therefor if he failed to exercise ordinary care for his own safety, which failure contributed in any degree to his injury.-St. Louis & S. F. R. Co. v. Grider, 161 Š. W. 1032.

$ 327 (Tex.Civ.App.) A passenger, unfamiliar with a railroad station, in walking around in the dark is guilty of contributory negligence barring recovery for a fall from the unlighted and unguarded platform.-Stamp v. Eastern Ry. Co. of New Mexico, 161 S. W. 450.

In a suit to dissolve a corporation and distribute its assets, where the preferred stockholders were not before the court, it would be improper for the court to construe the charter in relation to the rights of the preferred and common stockholders; that being a moot question not presented by the record.Adams v. Chattanooga Co., 161 S. W. 1131. CHALLENGE.

§ 347 (Ark.) Ordinary care did not require a passenger as a matter of law to remain in a waiting room until the arrival of his train.St. Louis & S. F. R. Co. v. Grider, 161 S. W. 1032.

(F) Ejection of Passengers and Intruders. $353 (Tex.Civ.App.) Though plaintiff purchased a ticket, yet if he refused to deliver it to the conductor, and informed him that he had no money to pay his fare, the carrier's servants may eject him, whether he was intoxicated or not.-Texas Cent. Ry. Co. v. Rose, 161 S. W. 387.

§ 366 (Tex.Civ.App.) Where the employés do not know of the intoxicated condition of a passenger, they may act upon the presumption that he will exercise care to avoid injury.-Texas Cent. Ry. Co. v. Rose, 161 S. W. 387.

Where a carrier ejected an intoxicated passenger, its liability depends upon whether the place of ejection was such a one as a prudent person would have considered safe under the circumstances.-Id.

CLAIM AND DELIVERY.

Where a mortgagee of chattels assigned the mortgage notes to plaintiff and subsequently purchased the mortgaged property, he became, in effect a mortgagor in possession as to plain- See Replevin. tiff; and hence his subsequent sale of the property in denial of plaintiff's rights was a conversion.-Id.

$225 (Tex.Civ.App.) A sale by a chattel mortgagor in denial of the right of the mortgagee would amount to a conversion by the purchaser if persisted in by him.-Nunn v. Padgitt Bros., 161 S. W. 921.

That a chattel mortgagor denied, when he sold property covered by a recorded chattel mortgage, that the property was incumbered would not be a defense to the right of the mortgagee to sue the purchaser of the property for its conversion by the denial of such mortgagee's rights.-Id.

The fact that the county clerk advised purchasers of property covered by a recorded chattel mortgage that the property was not mortgaged would not prevent the purchasers of the property from being liable to the mortgagee for its conversion.-Id.

That defendant agreed to advance money with which to purchase property covered by a recorded chattel mortgage only on condition that mortgagors should first convey to her that she might convey to her son and in that method give her what she considered greater security for the money advanced would not prevent defendant's purchase in denial of the mortgagee's rights from being a conversion of the property as to mortgagee.-Id.
