Supreme Court of Missouri January 15, 1861 (City of St. Joseph v. O'Donoghue)

Napton, Judge,

delivered the opinion of the court.

This case involves the same question which was determined by this court in the case of the City of St. Joseph v. Anthony, 30 Mo. p. 537, and in the case of the Inhabitants of Palmyra v. Morton, 25 Mo. 593, and the decisions rest upon the same principle recognized by this court in the case of the Egyptian Levee Co. v. Hardin, 27 Mo. 495.
