    The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the Court of Appeals of Kentucky in a case involving the constitutionality of the Carmack Amendment to the Interstate Commerce Act. The case presented the same sole issue as a prior case the Supreme Court had just decided, upholding the constitutionality of the Carmack Amendment. As the facts were not substantially different, the Supreme Court affirmed the lower court's judgment based on the precedent set in the prior case.

    31 S.Ct. 171
    55 L.Ed. 183

    LOUISVILLE & NASHVILLE RAILROAD COMPANY, Plff.


    in Err.,
    v.
    N. P. SCOTT.
    No. 286.

    Supreme Court of the United States


    Argued October 19, 20, 1910.
    January 3, 1911

    Messrs. Charles H. Moorman, Joseph R. Lamar, Benjamin D. Warfield,


    and Henry L. Stone for plaintiff in error.
    Assistant to the Attorney General Kenyon as amicus curioe.
    No counsel for defendant in error.
    Mr. Justice Lurton delivered the opinion of the court:

    This case was heard with No. 215, Atlantic Coast Line R. Co. v. Riverside
    Mills, just decided. [219 U. S. 186, 55 L. ed. , 31 Sup. Ct. Rep. 164.] Like
    that case it presents only the question of the constitutionality of the Carmack
    amendment of the act to regulate commerce.

    The facts are not substantially different, and the judgment of the Court of
    Appeals of the Commonwealth of Kentucky is affirmed upon the authority of
    that case.

    Affirmed.
