Selected Cases On The Law Of Bailments And Carriers: Including The Quasi-Bailment Relations Of Carriers Of Passengers And Telegraph And Telephone Companies As Carriers, Edwin C. Goddard Jan 1904

Selected Cases On The Law Of Bailments And Carriers: Including The Quasi-Bailment Relations Of Carriers Of Passengers And Telegraph And Telephone Companies As Carriers, Edwin C. Goddard

Books

In making this volume of "Selected Cases on the Law of Bailments and Carriers," the guiding principle has been to secure the clearest and fullest statement and application of every leading principle of the subject within the range of a moderate sized book. The important cases, especially on the law of Carriers, are so many as to make it impossible to include all the leading eases. Moreover, the law of Carriers is such a very modern thing as to make it desirable to include many cases too recent to be considered leading cases. Accordingly, an effort has been made to …


Outlines Of The Law Of Bailments And Carriers, Edwin C. Goddard Jan 1904

Outlines Of The Law Of Bailments And Carriers, Edwin C. Goddard

Books

The Outlines of Bailments and Carriers form part of a complete work on that subject intended for the use of classes in law schools. The other part, which is nearly ready for publication, consists of select cases illustrating and amplifying principles stated in the Outlines. It is the purpose of the Outlines not only to state the foundation principles of the subject, but to put these in orderly and consecutive form in order that the student may have an opportunity to see the subject as a whole. It is believed that any study of the cases without some such connected …

Popular And Legal Views Of Traffic Pooling, Thomas M. Cooley Jan 1884

Popular And Legal Views Of Traffic Pooling, Thomas M. Cooley

Articles

“Perhaps nothing in respect to the relations between the railroad companies and the public attracts more attention at the present time than the arrangements to which the name of pooling is popularly given. In railroad circles these arrangements are looked upon as necessary to prevent all railroad property becoming absolutely worthless to the stockholders, as a very large part of it is now; and those managers who are hoping to earn dividends are therefore laboring earnestly to make these arrangements effectual…. What is said will refer especially to pooling in freight traffic, but in principle it will apply to passenger …


State Regulation Of Corporate Profits, Thomas M. Cooley Dec 1882

State Regulation Of Corporate Profits, Thomas M. Cooley

Articles

At the time when the Federal Constitution was adopted, municipal government in America was a very simple affair, and was managed with ease and economy through local officers, who provided for the making and repairing of roads, looked after disorderly characters, abated local nuisances, and levied rates for the few and simple public needs. When the growing population of a particular locality appeared to need larger powers of local government, the legislature granted them, but they often involved little more than the holding of fairs as a means of building up local trade, the institution of a local court for …
