Yitnout any default on the part of the
owner, the defendants were bound to exera
clse reasonable and proper care In running
thelr engine TO avoid injury to the said
horses; that they neglected to use such rea
sonabie and proper care, In consequence of
which the damage was done of which the
plaintiff complains; and that therefore he
llas right to recover In this action,
Ii there be any public prejudice against
railroad companies In controversies of this
kind which tends to prevent them from oh.
tanning Justice, as IL sometimes said to be
the case, it can hardly he necessary to say
that certainly this court does not partici.
pate in any degree in such prejudice. Rail-
roads are OF great public utility, and indeed
are now Indispensable us means of travel
and OF commerce. Those who construct
them ought to be regarded as public bene-
factors; and at all events their owners are
entitled to have their just and equal rights
secured to them by law and by the action of
courts and juries. They are charged with
the duty of carrying safely the passengers
whose lives are Entrusted to their care, and
az they are held BY law to strict accounta-
bilty for the faithful discharge of this duty,
which ls one of paramount Importance, they
ought not to he prevented from properly
performing it by having to use means to
avoid injuring cattle which may happen to
be upon the road. II. ~
But subject to this paramount duty Of TAX.
ing care of the passengers under their
charge, it is also their duty to be careful TO
avoid injury to stock which may happen to
be upon their road, at least when there with
out the default of the owner of such stock.
Fortunately for all parties concerned, the
means proper to be used to avoid injury to
such stock are generally the best means that
can be used for the safety of the passengers.
We are of opinion that the Judgment of
the Circuit Court is erroneous and ought TO
be reversed, and Judgment rendered for the
plaintiff on the demurrer to evidence.
