The Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad Company v. Meek. The Same v. Brandon. The Same v. Hughes.
    ON APPEAL from Decatur Court of Common Pleas.
    
      Wednesday, June 23.
   Per Curiam.

These were suits to recover for stock killed upon a railroad which was not fenced. The defense set up was, that the owner of the stock was not the owner of lands adjacent to the roád, &c.

It has been decided in the case of The Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad Company v. Townsend, at the November term, 1857 , that such a state of facts is not a good defense. See, also, 3 Kernan, 42.

J. S. Scobey and W Cumback, for the appellants.

J. Gavin and O. B. Hord, for the appellees.

The judgment in each case is affirmed with 5 per cent, damages and costs. 
      
      
         Antet 38.
