FOREIGN STATUTES. Great Britain. 21 James I.. 10 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 Dis trict of Columbia, embraces municipal corporations. The sovereign power of the District of Columbia is lodged in the govern ment 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 sub ject to the law of limitations. An action by a municipal corporation to recover from a street railroad com pany 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 onc in assumpsit. Assumpsit. Verdict for the plaintiff, and judgment on the The case verdict. The defendant sued out this writ of error. is stated in the opinion. Mr. Nathaniel Wilson and Mr. Walter D. Davidge for plaintiff in error. VOL. CXXXII-1 |
