District of Columbia Court of Appeals October 4, 1870, No. 1299 (Lathrop v. Union Pacific Railway Co.)

Mr. Justice Mac Arthur

delivered the opinion of the Court:

This case is brought here by an appeal from a decree sustaining a plea to the jurisdiction. In the bill of complaint it is alleged that the name of the Leavenworth, Pawnee and Western Railroad Company was changed by a law of the State of Kansas (where it was chartered by an act of the legislature) to that of the Union Pacific Railroad
