Syllabus

<p>Constitutionality of Act — Due Process of Law. — An act which fixes absolute liability on a corporation to make compensation for injuries done to property in the prosecution of its lawful business, without any wrong, fault or neglect on its part, when under the general law of the land no one else is so liable under such circumstances, does not provide the “due process of law” provided for in the constitution of the United States, and is therefore void.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the court.)</p>
