Oo-NHOR, J.,
concurring. I concur in the result but do not concur in the reasons assigned by the majority of the Court. The plaintiff had a cause of action against the defendant company for negligently failing to send and deliver the message. If the facts are found upon the trial as alleged, he is entitled to punitive damages. The complaint sets out a case of gross and inexcusable negligence. I prefer not to discuss or express any opinion in the present condition of the case upon the other questions decided by the Court. I do not think that the tender of the amount paid for the telegram defeated the cause of action. The plaintiff was entitled to go to the jury on the question of damages.
