Subject: Case argued by Abraham Lincoln

Hi:

We're looking for a case in which Abraham Lincoln was an attorney for a
railroad owning a bridge over the Mississippi River. A lawsuit was filed
as a result of a collision between a boat and the bridge. We have checked
WESTLAW and LEXIS and have had no luck finding the case. If anyone is
familiar with it and can tell us the case name and/or cite, or can suggest
any other sources we might check, we would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
