Syllabus

<p>Neither the general Incorporation Act, nor the Act of May 13th, 1853, concerning plank roads and turnpikes, gives any exclusive privileges to the corporation first established. Others may build a. road, on or near the same line of travel. The general doctrine in the United States now is, that the grant of a ferry, bridge, or road franchise, does not carry with it a restriction upon the granting power to make a similar grant to other grantees, though the last grant necessarily interferes with the profits and business of the first.</p>
