IMPORTANT DECISION Respecting LIABILI-
TlEs OF RAILROADS FOR CATTLE K1LLED.-Im.
portant decisions, involving the rights and
liabilities of railway companies and the
owner. of cattle killed by trains when on the
track, have just been made by Chief Justice
Gilpin, of the State of Delaware, to the fol-
loving Effect: That railroad company. la
eally chartered, has the unobstructed right
9fway oyer its own roadi that it can not be
held in damages for any loss which owners
ofcattle may sustain if their cattle are Killed
or injured while upon the track, and when
due driie' nee and caution are observed on
the part of those in charge of the train to
prevent said destruction or injury that the
company is not bound to fence in the lands
or farms along the line of road merely for
The sake Of keeping cattle off the track, but
tnat 1t IS the duty of owners of cattle to see
that such cattle do not interfere with and ob-
strnct the passage Of the trains, and thus be-
come nespassers that persons who suffer
their animals to roam at large upon the
track, to the detriment Of the travel BY OBJ
structing the rold, are liable in suit for
trespass thereof. - NfT ~ - I
