Opinion:
Blandford, J.
In a suit against a railroad company for killing a horse, where it appeared that the animal went upon the track of the company, ran up the road and upon a trestle and fell through and was killed, and that there was no negligence on the part of the company or 'its officers, agents or servants, a nonsuit would have been proper; and after a verdict-against the company, a new trial should have been granted.
Judgment reversed.
