Vose v. Bronson

Mr. E. G. Ryan, for the appellant: The appellant having delivered his property and received his bonds, finds their value depreciated one-half, by the railroad company's action–fraudulent without doubt–in selling all their bonds of the same issue, at half the price at which he took his, without reserving any whatever to fulfil their contract to him arising in case of a sale of any at such a price. The effect in law (and in fact, also, as the thing proved), was to pay him but half the stipulated price for his iron. The bill seeks payment of the unpaid half.
