Joseph P. Bradley, County of Henry v. Nicolay — Opinion of the Court
“ Joseph Railroad Company, before the subscription to the stock for the branch was made. The court said: 'This branch road commences and ends in the same places designated for the branch road in the original charter. It proposes nothing but what was intended to be accomplished by the act creating it, and its union with another company is in name only; no new powers are granted to either the branch or the company with which it is consolidated, and no original powers are taken away. I see nothing that alters, affects, or changes the power of the county court to subscribe the stock. ”
