State rights in New Hampshire railroad purchase ruling
A 1891 New Hampshire Supreme Court decision holds the state may take a railroad only with full compensation, revoking earlier notions of eminent domain without payment. It explains that altering charters does not allow confiscation, and that 1844 and 1867 acts relinquished any general right to seize the Concord railway.
