The evidence is not conclusive, and after a mature consideration, we think the justice of the case demands that the case should be submitted to another jury.
It is, therefore, ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the judgment of the Parish Court be ¡annulled, avoided and reversed, the verdict set aside and the case remanded for a ' - new trial; the appellees paying costs in this court.
