East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad vs. Watters.
    Appeal, from Floyd, Railroads. -Damages. Negligence. Nonsuit. New Trial. (Before Judge Branham.)
    Underwood & Rowell, for plaintiff in error..
    Forsyth & Hoskinson ; Reece & Denny, by brief, for defendant.
   Blandford, J.

In a suit against a railroad company for killing a horse, where it appeared that the animal went upon the track of the company, ran up the road and upon a trestle and fell through and was killed, and that there was no negligence on the part of the company or 'its officers, agents or servants, a nonsuit would have been proper; and after a verdict-against the company, a new trial should have been granted.

Judgment reversed.
