The Law Court.
AMos WILDER OF AUGUSTA, VS.. The MAINE
CENTRAL RAILROAD Co.
DR.. Wilder in June, 1871, owned valuable fam
lily horse perhaps better described as gentlemans
driving horse, which was grazing near the track
of the railroad and the oil cloth factory just
above the city of Hallowell. The track at that
place was not fenced. A freight train passing
from Augusta to Hallowell frightened the horse
on to the track and drove him along the narrow
embankment to the bridge over Water street, in
Hallowel, where the engine struck the animal
and broke his legs, that he had to be killed.
The doctor sued the company for damages, vau-
ing the horse at $4,000. The case was tried at the
March term, 1874, when the ptf recovered YER
dict for 81 600, and the dcfts carried the case to
the law court upon a motion for new trial and eS-
ceptions. Both the motion and exceptions have
been oyerruled by the full court after argument,
and the following rcscript transmitted to the
clerks Office.
DICKERsoN, J.
The statute requiring railroad corporations
to enclose the land taken for their road with
fences, is police regulation, designed to secure
the safety of the public travel. and is obligatory
upon such corporations, whether chartered before
or after its enactment.
Land thus taken is improved" in the puryiew
of the statute if it used partly for myard, and
partly for moving aud grazing.
1t is negligence in a railroad corporation not TO
fence such land when taken for the track Of its
road
The plaintiff as the owner OF the land adjoining
the railr cad track Of the defts, had tight to
it in a natural ard ordinary way for the purposes
for which it was fit. This right did not depend
upon the performance or ron-perfornance by the
defts of their duty to fence their road, nor upon
his know ledge that they had neglected this duty.
II was the defendants duty, not his, to use the
necessary to prevent the escape of the plain
iffs horse upon the track, account Of their neg
ect to build the fence.
