Case No. 10,343.

NORTHWESTERN UNION PACKET CO. v. HANNIBAL.

[4 Dill. 18, note.]¹

Circuit Court, E. D. Missouri.

1876.

WHARFAGE DUES.

[This was an action against the city Hannibal to recover back wharfage dues. See Cases Nos. 10,342, 10,344, and 10,345.]

Duncan & Davidson, for plaintiff.

Thomas H. Bacon, for defendant.

Before DILLON, Circuit Judge, and TREAT, District Judge.

TREAT, District Judge. The ordinance of the city of Hannibal provides for wharfage, at rates to be determined by tonnage, for every landing of a steamboat, etc., and by the time the steamboat continues at the landing. The remarks made in the suit against the city of St. Louis cover this case. There is a doubtful provision in the ordinance, perhaps, concerning the anchoring at the landing for barges, etc., but no question in this case arises under that provision.
