SEATTLE & M. RY. CO. v. SCHEIKE ET AL.

Supreme Court of Washington

January 26, 1892

Dissenting opinion by Justice DU NBAR. For majority opinion, see 29 P. 217.

Per DUNBAR, J., dissenting.

DUNBAR, J.

I dissent. While the defendants would not be entitled to the value of the land, or necessarily to the value of the buildings, yet I think that value would be a circumstance tending to show the value of the leasehold interest. The value of the lease can only be gathered from such testimony, and from circumstances of this kind. At least, it is one way of arriving at the value.
