Descrição do livro

Pennsylvania State Reports. This volume presents Pennsylvania Supreme Court decisions from the mid-19th century, including the case Pennsylvania Railroad Company V. McCloskey’s Administrator, which addresses damages recoverable when death results from unlawful violence or negligence under the Act of April 15, 1851 (section 19). The holding clarifies that death damages are compensatory rather than punitive, designed to compensate the injury to survivors and financial dependents, not to punish the wrongdoer. It traces a historical lineage of death compensation from Anglo-Saxon to English and Roman law, and leaves assessment to a jury guided by court instructions, rejecting a fixed formula in favor of the life’s absolute value expressed through factors such as age, health, habits, and pursuits. The decision distinguishes criminal punishment from civil death compensation, and notes that punitive damages may arise in other contexts. Additional doctrinal points address carrier responsibility, negligent conduct, and the limits of the compensation remedy. The ultimate outcome affirmed the lower court, with dissents by BiOx, C. J., and Woodward, J.
