Illto tho present, tho main question Is
priority of occupation over n given

tho ground, and, in good faith, making
llio llrst survey of n centre line, and in
dicating and marking it by plain and
proper stakes, or other HitiHcient monu
ments, oven though tlio marks neces
sary to tho actual constructed of tho
road itself bo omitted, will provall
against tho second company subse
quently seeking occupancy of llio samo
ground, fixing a centro lino, grading
their road, nnd oven expending consld-
ernblo sums of monoy in Its construc
tion. Hut to recur to tho enic and maitcr
of tlio plnliillHd' locution, as exhibited
by tho affidavits boforo us. Wo havo
seen that tho Wllkcs-Barro and Phila
delphia Railroad Company was incor
porated in Aiirll. 1SG3. Now tlio aill-
davit of D. J. Waller, tho President of
mat company, sets lortn mat tno 11110
of their road was surveyed nnd determ
ined in lSGl.and that portions of tlio
roatl wero about that time graded ; that
tho balanco of It is already under con
tract, and that tho plaintiffs intend
forthwith and in cutiro good faith to
complete and equip tlio samo; that ho
lias recently boon over tho routo of tho
road us located bv Mr. Corvell In 18(51.
and has discovered somo stakes set up

of their proposed roatl, and that in
many places thoso stakes exhibit inter
ferences witli tho lino of tlio plalntlll's;
that tho Susquehanna Coal Company
and Joseph E. Sticknev. defendants
uNo in tho bill, havo already laid ob
structions upon a portion of tlio plain
tiffs' routo, and that they threaten to
erect permanent works thereon also;
and further, that tho Danville, Hazlo-
ton anu wiiKes-isarrc Jtaiiroati uompa-
ny havo advertised idlings lor tho
work to bo dono on their proposed
route, so interfering as stated with
tho routo of the plaintiffs.
Tlio nfllduvit of Samuel G. Turner
altites In stibstanco, that lu 1H(!1 ho was
tlio President 01 tno wiiucs-iurro and
Philadelphia Rtilroad Company, mid
that, acting in that capacity, nnd under
instructions of tho board of direction,
ho employed Martin Coryell, a compe
tent civil engineer, to survey and locato
a routo lor tno piainuiB' railroad ;
that In pursuaneo of that employment,
Mr. Coryell surveyed, marked, staked
otiu and located a route, Ciimmeiicing at
th 1 Court Jlouso, on tho ruiiitc squaro
iti tills city, and running thonco down
nlong the Easterly bank of tlio Susque
hanna, nbovo high water mark, across
and beyond tlio mouth of tlio Little
Wapwallopen Creek ; that ho was with
tlio engineer from timo to time, all
along tho line, superintending and di
recting tho survey ; that a protllo and
draft of tho location thus mado was
prepared by Mr. Coryell, and submit
ted to tlio company ; and that tlio sumo
was not only accepted and adopted by
tho board of direction, but (hat immed
iately aftorwards, and during tho fol
lowing year, tho grading of portions of
tho road was commenced, and a largo
sum of monoy oxpended thereon.
Tlio affidavit of Martin Coryell, be
sides being corroboralivo of that of Mr.
Turner, is moro specific as to tho matter
of actual location. Referring to tholino
run across tlio territory in controversy,
ho savs. that tho survey was commenc
ed on tho Oth day ofMay, 1SC1, and that
in July or tno samo year no mane a ro
port of tho location lo tlio company, ac
companied by estimates of tho eost of
tho road, a map of tho proposed lino,
togethor with tlio field notes and such
olher dalea. ns would affjrd a fall under
standing of llio matters connected with
llio construction and completion of tho
road Itself. Ho further says, that tho lo
cation was final, and as such, was ac
cepted by tho company; and with re
gard to its character or tho manner in
which tho location had been made, ho
adds, that "it was marked by 3takos
regularly numbered." and that "num
erous and proper monuments" werosot
up, mauing 1110 cntiro lino so deliulto
that "an Intelligent contractor would
havo had no dliliculty In constructing
tho road on that lino." He says in con
clusion, that ho has recently been over
uie 11110 01 tno piaintitis' road thus
formerly located by hlni and his assis
tants, and Hint ho discovered that tho
Susquehanna Coal Company and Joseph
biicuney navo commenced some
work upon tho samo location, which is
heavy in Its character, and which will
amount to a permanent obstruction of
tlio plaintifis' lino if curled to ojmplo
tlon. riio allldavils of Thomas P. Rrodirott
and Cieorgo Pfouls, tho assistants who
accompanied Mr. Coryell in 18(11, fully
corroborate all that tlio latter savs in
rotation to tlio distinctness and com
pleteness for llio location then made.
Aim lurtner, 1110 niiitltivit or John
McNolsh, Sr., for many years 11 civil
engineer by profo-nion, states that 110
longer ago than PCDrui ry last, ho was
employed by tlio North and West
liranch itailrotul (Joiup my to locate a
11110 lor unit cor por.uion over liortions
of tho very ground in en itroversv here:
nnd that in ncrformitig his duties, ho
saw at several named points, marks of
1110 burvoy ami locition mado by Mr.
uoryoiuii iniii. Again, in .uarcii last,
Mr. McNeisli says tlio defendants
practically all thosonauicd in tho bill-
commenced to mako und erect obslruc-

any legal right in 1110 pinintius 10 tno
II110 of tho road us embraced In the bill,
but they claim to havo established a
complete controvcrtion of all tho mat
ters, both of law and of fact, whereby
tho enjoyment of any such right at this
mis time, is enniieu 10 1110 protection
which a discharge of tho present rulo
would effect.
Thov further sot ut. as bclonr-lncr to
thomsolvcs. a prior leglslatlvo grant
authorizing them to lay out and con
struct a railroad over tho very ground
named In tho plaintiffs' bill. They claim
to havo been upon, and to havo occu
pied the ground by an actual location of
their road over it long beforo tho plain
tiffs took any stons under their allcgod
grant, amounting to what lu law is re
cognized as locating a railroad,
Priority oriegisiativo grant, howu vcr,
was not seriously urged in tho argument.
Indeed, that position was altogether
un (enable, and could not havo been sus
tained under nny view ofthoeaso; for,
though tlio grant under which tlio de
fendants claim, may havo been earlier
in tlato as a statule, It was nevertheless
in effect somo .vear3 subscnucnt to that
of tiio plaintiffs
On tho lfith of Anrll. 185!). nn act of
tho General Assembly was passed In
corporating "Tlio Wilkes-B.irro and
i'liiston Jtanroau company," with
authority to construct a railroad "along
nnd near tlio Susquehanna rivor, and
to uo constructed as uoar to it ns possi
ble, on tho East side of tlio Susn uohanna
rIver,from thoLackawanna and Ulooms
hurg railroad, abovo tlio borough of
Pittston, In Luzerne county, along said
Susquehanna river, to tho town of Dan
ville, or Sunbury .with tho right to cross
and re-cross tiio SuMiuchnuna river ut
nny point or points, botween tho Nan
ticoko Dam and town of Danville." A
proviso was attached to otio of tho sec
tions of tlio act, requiring"that tho por
tion of tlio said railroad, from tho
terminus nbovoPittitou toSliicksiiinny,
or to a point on tlio Eostsidoof tho
Susquehanna river, opposito to Silicic
shinny, shall bo llrst built and com
pleted, beiore any portlou or tho re
mainder of saitl railroad shall bo con
structed or located,"
This was a valid act of incorporation ;
and under it the e.mip.uiy might havo
entered upon tho Idi.m lion and construc
tion of a railro.id lrom tho terminus
abovo Pittston to a point on tho East
sldo of tho Susquehun tin opposite Shick
shinny. Tho restriction con tinaed in the pro
viso imposed upon them the necessity
of completing tho road between these
termini, DCiorotney had authority oven
to locato nny otner part 01 it.
No action , however,of any kind seems
to havo been taken by tho company
under this charter; oven tho enrolmont
tax was not paid, nnd, honco. after tho
expiration of ono year from tho dato of
tno act, it ceased to navo any vitality
whatover.
It becamo emphatically a dead letter:
it was denied a place in tliestatuto book.
Thus it continued until tho 27th of Feb
ruary, 1SG7, when tho Legislature, by a
supplement of that dato, breathed into
it the power 01 resuscitation. Tiio timo
for tho payment of tho eurolraent tax
was extended for one year then next.
Again, on tho 10th of April of tho
same year, tho Legislature by another
supplement, stripped off tho restriction
contained in tno proviso Doioro rcicrrco
to, and arrayed tho corporation in a now
dres3 almost entirely. By that supple
ment, tho effotoactof Incorporation of
April loth, itjuy, was galvanized into
actual Ufo again ; and lor tho first timo
stood forth a living statuto under the
name, stylo nnd tltlo of "Tho Danville,
Ilnzleton and Wilkps Barro IUUroati
Company." Authority was given to tho
corporation to "commenco ihoomsitruc

at any point on tho Easterly sldo of tho
Susquehanna River botweou the town
of Sunbury and "Tho Lackawanna and
lsioomsuurg rullroad abovo tho Dorotign
of Pittston."
By a furthor siiDDlcmcnt. approved
pril 11, 1807. tho company acquired
the right, inter alia, of makincr "lateral
or branch railroads, not exceeding fif
teen miles In length ;" and again, Uy n
still further supplement, approvod
March 20th, 1SGU, authority was given
them to "connect their said railroad at

ants, Who did the work.
Mr. McNalr says: "I was chiof en
gineer of the Danville, Huzlcton and
Wilkes Barro Railroad Company In
October, 1870. In that month, by order
of S. P. Kase, Vice President and Bu
pialntonilinit, I began nn experimental
survey for tlio extension of that, rail
ro.ul ti Wilkes-Barre. Tho survey
commenced ut the summit of Scotch
Run valley, and followed the samo to
tlio (unction of Black nnd Noseooei'lc
creeks, mid followed Nescopeck creek
downwards, crossing It near tlio Old
horgi! dam, and tnenco swung around
tho point of tho hill at Evurutt'n mill,
following the foot of tho hill, crossing
the Lohigli and Susquehanna turnoike
near Thrack's house, and thence along,
but woll up 011 tho sldo of tho hill.
Crossing tho Big Wapwallopen creek,
wo ran aiong tno 1001 01 uouiicil Jup,
but did not get very near tho river.
until wo reached Iho Littlo Wapwall
open creek. From thence wo followed
tno rivor pretty closely to South
Wilkes-Barre, where oursurvey ended.
5t7is entire line was onhi experimental.
ami in no wise a location. W'c sil no
centre slakes, or any other stakes for lo
cition. Our object was merely to act the
topography of the country," &c.
in audition to tins amuavit wo navo
beforo us that of William N. McCay,
who statos that ho was an onglno r
under Mr. McNalr in tho mouths of
October and November, 1870, and that
ho ran "alcvet in tliooxperiracntnl sur
vey of tho country between Scotch Ru n
valloy and Wilkes-Barre. Wo ran two
branch experimental lines, besides tho
main experimental Hue." Ho further
says, lie lias read the affidavit of Mr.
McNair, and that tho same is correct in
regard to that survoy.
Manifestly mere lino running of such
sort cannot in any sense bo recognized
as locating a railroad. Ifseems, indeed
to havo been dono with no such pur
pose in view. And ovon though tho
defendant profiled it; though they
spread it over elaborate maps, nud
adopted it as tno location or tnoir roatl,
it lacked at tho very threshold every
legitimate element. calculated to glvo It
force; and especially so, as againnt n
rivai company already upon tho samo
ground, with a centro lino actually run,
und stakes set, and other monuments
erected to fix and to distinguish it.
Considering at this point, then, tho
positive testimony of Mr.Coryell, Mr.
Turner, Thomas B.Blodgett and George
I'louts, descriDing positivo acts dono ny
them in connection with tho location
of 1SG1, pursuant (0 tlio charter of
tho plaintiff's, can wo say that priority
of occupation over tho routo in contro
versy has not beon mado out? Has not
a clear case of right in this respect beon
established on the part of the plaintiff.?
If this bo so ; if the equity sought by
them has been shown, and is free from
doubt, then the injunction ought not to
ho dissolved. Admitting oven that
doubts may havo arisen out of tho mat
ters set up by the defendants in the
way of answer or defence, yet if tho
plaintiff' right bo clear, and their
equity be free from doubt under tho
showing, tho rule remains unchanged.
But it is further Insisted on the part
of tho defendants that tho plalntiffV
rights under their act of incorporation
of 1SG3, and tho supplements thereto
have lapsed, now lapsed : wapposo n
lie conceded that their character orig
inally amounted to no moro than an
option, which, unexecuted, Is not pro
perty ; suppose further, that it was nut
exclusive) us against subsequent leglila
tlvogrnnt for all timo; may not tlin
power wnicn granted 1110 option mens
tiro at least tho space during which It
shall bo exclusive?
Here was an option certainly, grniil-.!
bv tho Legislature to tho plaint ill'-, in
construct a railroad batween the termini
named in tho bill, sit any time during
tlio period of tenye.irs next ensiling thu
ditto of tho giant. This time had 11 it
expired nt tlio time of tbo nll.'ged Mo
Nair location in 1870; it had not n pli
ed when tlio lator location of 1872, now
sought to bo enjoined, was continued ;
It lias not expired yet.
Still considering tho plaintitlV grunt
but as an option, did tlioy not by
promptly and diligently onteriug upon
its enjoyment, ami by expending largo
sums oi iliouoy 111 ino survoy, location
and partial construction of their road,
ralsothogranttolhodlgiilty or property;
Wo say, in conclusion, that there Is
nothing lu thocaso indicating either an
abandonment or a lapsing of the plain-
tifiv rir,hts. And furttier. though tho
plaintiffs may not have compiled wuu

no warrant, either for them, or their

Tho rule is discharged.
