The Case of A J Marshall and the Baltimore and Ohio
The Richmond Mail reports that the Virginia Supreme Court upheld the lower court in A J Marshall v Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. Marshall claimed a fee for securing a right of way after aiding the road’s passage through the Virginia Legislature. The paper condemns the company for denying payment, compares it to a debt of honor, and criticizes Baltimore’s influence over Virginia. Also covered are the Treasury’s redemption figures and Ex-President Fillmore’s Nashville visit.
