Court of Appeals of Kentucky June 24, 1896 (Henderson Bridge Co. v. City of Henderson)

JUDGE LEWIS

DELIVERED THE OPINION OF THE COURT.

The Henderson Bridge Company was in 1872 by statute of this State incorporated with power to construct and own a bridge across the Ohio river. It was, however, not organized for business until 1880 when the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company, an existing and distinct corporation, became principal stockholder.
