The case of the State of Maryland againet the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, to recover one-fifth of the total amount received from the transportation of passengers over the Washington branch of the road eince Juty 1, 1808, was decided to-day in the Supreme Court of Baltimore City, Judge Dobbin presiding. In lS3i the Legislature of Maryland, in amending the act of charter to the Baltimore and Ohto Railroad for the con struction of the branch road to Va6hiogton, among otherstipulations.it is provided "That the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com canv Bhall par to tne Treasurer or. Maryland, semi-annually in each and every year, one nun ot tne wnoie amount which may be received :or the transportation of passengers on said branch railroad." Under this provision the company have rendered accounts and paid iuto the State treasury one fifth the receipts for transportation of passen gers up to June 30, 18G8, amounting to several millions of dollars. Since the latter date the company have declined payment and withheld the one-fifth receipts on the ground that it was a tax on passengers for the privilege ot passing through the Stats, the company assuming that the point was decided by the 8upreme Court of the United States at try? September term in 1807 In tho case of Crandell against the State of Nevada. Under joint molution of the Legislature of Maryland the Attorney-General now brings suit to recover the one-fifth received since Juno 30, 1SG8. amounting to about $300,000. The court this morning granted the prayer of defendants that the act of 1832, so far as it provided for the payment of the one-fifth receipts for-the trans portation of passengers, is unconstitutional be- canee in conflict with the Constitution of the United .States, aud the further prayer that the fact of payment up to June 30, 18&8, did not estop defendants from denying the constitutionality of the act, and that plaintiff is not entitled to recover un der this decision of Judge Dobbin. In an elaborate view of the whole question, the jury rendered a verdict for the defendants. The counsel for the State filed exceptions. The case has been in court s'.nco Thursday of last week, the most eminent counsel being en caged for the State, Attorney-General Jones, ex-Governor Philip, Francis Thomas, Merritt Steele, and Tcackle Wallis; for defendants, Reverdy Johnson and J. II. B. Latrobe. The court intimated that each passenger could recover from the company one-fifth, or thirty cents of the fare exacted by the company. FROM WASHIJVaTOJf.
