Spirit Of The .aHcy: Judge Mclaughlin
decided a few days ago, the case OF
Timothy Qulnlan vs. b. q o. Railroad, by
giving judgment for the plaintiff against
the railroad for Sl95, with interest from
August %. 1885 and costs. The proof IN
this case was that the railroad company
had failed to build the fence through the
land of the plaintiff as required by the
act of March, 1854, and that his stock got
mon the track and were killed, and this
was all the negligence proven. This was
the first case that has arisen under this
law in Judge HcLaughlin's circuit, and
fin. result Of his decision is that when
railroad company fails 10 fence its track
running through improved land, and tho
owners or tenants stock gets upon tho
track and is killed, the railroad company
will he compelled to pay for such stock
The plaintiff (Quinlan) was represented
by Strayer & Iiggcti and the railroad
