  Porter (carrier) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Porters appeared extensively in the ancient world as "beasts of burden".
Porters still carry things in many third-world countries, especially where animals (camels, oxen, horses, dogs) or machines (carts, lorries, ships, trains, aircraft) have not taken over their traditional functions.
Porters who work at railway stations in India are called coolies.

Porter states that the telemarketer claimed that there would be no change in his company's long-distance carrier, AT&T Corp. (AT&T).
Porter eventually agreed to the billing change, but only after "repeatedly questioning the caller" to confirm that he was "an agent of US WEST, and that there would be no change in Porter & Associates' long-distance carrier or rates." Mr.
Porter discovered that he had been slammed when he reviewed his telephone bill and noticed that his long-distance rates were twice as high as what he had paid while an AT&T customer.

 OSCN Found Document:Porter v. MFA Mut. Ins. Co.
Porter challenges this provision on the grounds that it is contrary to public policy.
Porter, by voluntarily and knowingly making settlement with and giving a general release to Sheltman, barred MFA from exercising its lawful right of recourse against the responsible party, and Porter was thereby precluded from bringing action on the uninsured motorist policies.
What Porter should have done was make settlement with Sheltman's insurance carrier by means of a partial release, conditioned on the reservation of whatever rights and interests the uninsured motorist insurance company, MFA, might have or claim thereafter against the tort-feasor.

 Burlingham v. Gray (1943) 22 C2d 87
While Porter was on the witness stand, plaintiffs' counsel showed him a copy of an instrument entitled "Contract, Los Angeles Newspaper Guild and The News of Los Angeles." Porter testified that this copy had been mailed to him by the Los Angeles Newspaper Guild, but that he had never seen the original contract.
Porter, however, testified that he received through the mail, from The News, "a paper marked 'Designation of Beneficiary' " together with "either two or three other copies, and I was to sign the other two or three and mail one and keep this copy for myself"; that he mailed the duplicate back to The News.
Therefore, even if the jury should have found that Porter was an independent contractor in his dealings with the company under the written contract, it could nevertheless have justifiably concluded that it was as an employee that he received the extra payment of $2.00 a week.

 Porter Locomotive   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The history of Porter of Pittsburgh as a locomotive builder spans a period of 83 years, from construction number 1 in 1867 (a 42-inch-gauge 0-4-0T for New Castle R.R. and Mining Co., New Castle, Pa.) to number 8275 in 1950 (recorded, appropriately enough, as steam—a meter-gauge 0-4-0 for a plantation in Brazil).
Although Porter contributed a good share of the motive power for the early little lines of the West, it was not known as a builder for American common carriers.
Although Porter built some engines for common carriers and not a few for export, its production was so largely for domestic industrials, and so representative of industrial orders, that an analysis of the gauges to which Porter steamers were built gives a fair impression of the ups and downs of industrial gauges.

 Miller vs Carrier on the Lukan Census
Porter [172] confirms that the "grammar of the Latin has been interpreted to mean not that he received Syria and Phoenicia 'again', but that he was 'again' legate, this time of Syria and Phoenicia".
Carrier pursues more detail on this, but here there is no precise match, for the idea is not a dual governorship but a governorship and a position as procurator.
Porter meanwhile offers an extensive analysis concerning property returns [176ff] and of the suggestion that the census was one of property, not people, of which, there also seems to be no matching analysis from Carrier, though he cites some of the same sources as Porter.

While still 100 yards or more from the plane, the Porter was practically dead in the water and was no longer closing the three flyers, who were manning their rubber boat.

 00-6384 -- Phillips v. New Hampshire Insurance Co. -- 08/28/2001
The district court thereby extended Porter to apply absolutely in situations in which the alleged insured was not aware of the existence of the policy or its terms at the time of settlement and the insurer had alleged no facts to establish actual prejudice.
The Porter court couched the key questions of the insured's right to recovery under his UIM contract in terms of waiver by the insured and prejudice to the insurer, considering these two factors in arriving at its conclusion that the "trust agreement" provisions should be enforced to bar the insured's recovery.
Every case cited in Porter for support of the general statement that an insured who deprives his insurer of its right of subrogation by settlement and release of the tortfeasor provides the insurer with a complete defense, see id.

 Porter
The name of Porter is one of the occupation and is derived from the Latin "port" which is a town or gate of a town.
The suffix "er" gives it personal significance so the name was used as the title of one who guarded the entrance to a castle or town and came to mean "gatekeeper." It is also possible that in some cases it was derived from the occupation of porter or carrier.
A John Porter is said by some writers to have come from County Essex, England, and settled in Dorchester, Mass., in 1628 or 1629, later moving to Windsor, Conn.

The Commission concluded that the convictions were "not substantially related to the qualifications of a licensee." The Commission went on, however, to consider the applicant's subsequent compliance with the law.
Since the convictions, Porter had been convicted of a misdemeanor charge of prostitution, and had multiple convictions for driving with a suspended license.
Based on this history, the Commission concluded that Porter's failure to comply with the court orders showed a lack of responsibility, and that Porter was not amenable to regulation.
