HAMILTON COUNTY DISTRICT COURT
Before Judges Ranney, Oliver, Murdock and Headingron: State of Ohio Ex. Rel. Silas V. and Moses Hayes vs The Cincinnati & Indiana Railroad Company. - An alternative writ of mandamus was heretofore allowed in the case, and it now came up for hearing on an application to make the order peremptory, compelling the Railroad Company to pay into the Probate Court the sum of $33000, being the amount of a verdict which the paintiffs recovered as the compensation for land in Whitewater wornship, approprated for railroad purposes.
It was claimed, on behalf of the defense, that the railroad company had the right to abandon the proceeding after the verdict, and change their route.
