Cunningham v. Boston & Albany Railroad

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

Decided May 18, 1891Published

1Opinion of the CourtHolmes, J.

This is an action to try the title to a small parcel of land occupied by the defendant, in the rear of one of its stations known as Cottage Farm Station. The case was submitted to the Superior Court on an agreed statement of facts, with power to draw inferences, and that court found for the defendant.. Technically, the only question before us is whether the agreed facts warrant that finding, either as a necessary conclusion of law or as a possible inference of fact from what is agreed considered as evidence.
