METROPOLITAN RAILROAD COMPANY v. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. No. 5. Argued November 22, 1888. - Decided October 21, 1889. The District of Columbia is a municipal corporation, having a right to sue and be sued, and is subject to the ordinary rules that govern the law of procedure between private persons. The Maryland statute of limitations of 1715, which is in force in the District of Columbia, embraces municipal corporations. The sovereign power of the District of Columbia is lodged in the government of the United States, and not in the corporation of the District. This court expresses no opinion upon the question whether, when the right of property in highways and public places is vested in a municipality, an assertion of that right against purprestures or public nuisances is subject to the law of limitations. An action by a municipal corporation to recover from a street railroad company the cost of maintaining pavements in a street, which the company is, by its charter, bound to maintain, is not an action upon the statute, but one in assumpsit. ASSUMPSIT. Verdict for the plaintiff, and judgment on the verdict. The defendant sued out this writ of error. The case is stated in the opinion. Mr. Nathaniel Wilson and Mr. Walter D. Davidge for plaintiff in error. VOL. CXXXII-1 |
