Bouvier's Law Dictionary and Concise Encyclopedia

When an indictment is returned from an inferior court in obedience to a writ of certiorari, the statement of the previous proceedings sent with it is termed the schedule.

1 Sound. 309, a. n. 2.

Schedules are also frequently annexed to answers in a court of equity, and to depositions and other documents, in order to show more in detail the matter they contain than could otherwise be conveniently shown. The term is frequently used instead of inventory. The Interstate Commerce Act requires common carriers to publish and file schedules of their rates, fares and charges, which shall plainly state all privileges or facilities granted or allowed and any rules or regulations which in any way change, etc., the value of the service rendered. A provision in a ticket containing a provision not in the schedule is void; Baltimore & O. R. Co. v. Hamburger, 155 Fed. 849.
