GOODE, J.
In this case, instituted before a justice of the peace, for double damages for the killing of a steer, the record contains no evidence to prove the animal was killed in the township where the suit was brought or in an adjoining one. The township of the casualty was not proved, and for this reason the judgment must be reversed and the cause remanded. [Backenstoe v. Railroad, 86 Mo. 492.]
