Sheffield Independent – Monday 07 July 1884
Judgment in Action by Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company against Denaby Main Colliery Company
Judgment was on Saturday given in the action by the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company against the Denaby Main Colliery Company, in which the plaintiffs claimed £2972 for carriage, and the defendants pleaded a counter claim of £30,000 for alleged overcharges, the railway company having made allowances to other traders in coal, which placed the Denaby Main Company at a disadvantage.
The Court was of opinion that the railway company had violated the statute, and that the defendants were entitled to recover the difference between what they paid and what was paid by the other traders. An intention to appeal was announced.
