Mississippi Supreme Court November 15, 1898 (Jackson v. Illinois Central Railroad)

Woods, C. J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

That the appellant had a personal injury claim (whether good or bad we need not concern ourselves with), and was threatening suit against the railroad company, can hardly be said to be disputed. The only evidence having a semblance of contradiction is found in the deposition of Turner, the then division superintendent of the railroad company.
