2’.‘ . ' whieh, of bourge"ournt to be done first, I would enter a general :
rfi' ' demurrer to the petition. I do not know enoughfi about the facts at—
‘ >5 7 the firesont time to say whether ne ought to rely on a simple traverse'
~' 5 -of the allegations of the yetition or not, but, if you are_preehed
. ' .for an Answer, you will, of courSe, be justifiefi~$n simply denying
, I each and all of the material aterments of the Petition. You will
. . 2 ’_ notice that the-utmost amount which the plaintiff Coulfi recover 77
' _ unaer the allogati one offhis getitionis the price Of his ticket '
' - F or the cash fare he_wae required to-pey. .The embarrassment oeueed-
2 .' merely by the return of the ticket ene the flemuna of cash fare I.
