Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad v. Morganstern
Illinois Supreme Court
Decided June 15, 1882PublishedCited by 5 opinions
Appeal from the Appellate Court for the Third District. This is an appeal by the railroad company, the appeal bond being signed, “Indianapolis and St. Louis Railroad Company, by John T. Dye, General Attorney, ” with the seal of the corporation attached.
1Opinion of the Court
Scholfield, J.:
The bond appears to have been executed
under the seal of the corporation. This raises the presumption that the person using the seal had authority to do so. There is no attempt to impeach the authority, nor is it claimed the seal of the corporation has been improperly used.
Motion denied.
