MAN V. BIIANTIIWAYTF, 1! Q.

This was, an ;talon by the Plaintiff, who is a
Stable_keeper, against, the Defendant, who is a
Captain in the Dragontis, to recover the value of
one horse that died, and a compensation for, the in.
jury that was done to the tick ly of another, in con.
sequence of the 'mtat of the Defendant.
The case. was shortly this:—the Plaintiff, who is
a Stable:keeper', let to hire a chaise and four
to the Defendant, Captain' Branthwayie, to tA.
him and his company to:Epsom„on the:z6,th of Mal.
last. The Plaintiff fur,oished the carriage au d the
four horses, together with two Po•tillii!;,s to drive.
The coach pri:cceded on the. intended -j -ourney until
it came to Wandsiiprth Common, when the. De.
fendant alledgcd, that one tif the Postillions was
drunk, and insisted on his coining • off the bor,;e,
which the tnan did not obey ; upon which the De.
fendapt took him off-by force and violence, and set
him aside, by throwing, him Into a ditch. The
Defendant then countianded the 'other Postillion,
who vide the near leading horse; to take the near
wheel horse, and he-, the Defendant, rode the near
leading horse himself, and galtoppeil the remainder
of the way to.F.psom, by means of which one of the.
horses was killed, and another much injured.
There was a Justification on the Record, stating
that the Postillion, whom the Plaintiff employed and
the Defendant took tiff his horse, was drunk and in.
capable of driving the carriage- with safety, and
therefore he, the Defendant, .took the care of it,
Sce.

There was no doubt but. that.one of ►he horses,.
of the value of 01.- died soon atter this job was
performed, and. that another 01 them was a good deal
injured. The Justification upon the Record was
not, supported by she evidence, and therefore the
first question for the Jury. to consider was, whe.
ther the injury to their animabi was clone by the
viole►►ce of the, Defendant's driving ? Arid if that
was found in the affirmative, what was the value of
the horse killvd, and %Ow the amount of the injury
done to the one whose health was impaired by that.
