not been for the following very explicit
instructions of his Honor the Court:
First-The Court instructs the jury
that if they believe from the evidence
beyond the influence of reasonable
doubt, plaintiffs cows tail was bitten off
10y the defendants dog. they should
find for the plaintiff, and assess his
damages at such sum as they think
the tail was proven to be reasonably
worth, not to exceed the amount claim
ed in the petition.
Second-The Court further instructs
the jury that if they believe from the
evidence that the dog was acting on
his own responsibility, and not under
the control of defendant, then the case
partakes necessarily OF the nature of a
proceeding IN rem, and they must find
for the defendant and against the dog.
Third-The Court at the instance of
defendants attorney further instructs
the jury that COW knoweth not the
value of tail until after she loses it,
and "a assessing the damage they have
a right to take into consideration all
the facts and circumstances in the case;
the disadvantages we'll as the advan.
tages Of a cows tail, the value to the

OF the tail, and deduct said sum from
