Texas Supreme Court
Mrs. S. S. Turner v. Cross and Eddy, Receivers.
February 5, 189260 F. 179
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the district court's dismissal of the plaintiff's claim, holding that a receiver of a railroad is not a proprietor, owner, charterer, or hirer within Rev. St. art. 2899 and therefore not liable under that statute for negligence causing death.
