The petition of the plaintiff in the court below alleged that one Joe Teaser was the tenant of the defendant. If this statement had been proved by any evidence, the verdict would have been supported as to this point, because the duty devolved upon the landlord to keep his premises in such condition as would protect the safety of his tenants and of live stock being used by them. However, the evidence, both for plaintiff and defendant, established, without contradiction, that Joe Teaser was not a tenant of the defendant, but a trespasser, attempting to occupy the premises of the landlord without his permission or knowledge; and, under the facts appearing in the record, no duty with reference to the safety of Joe Teaser or of the horses he was driving devolved upon the landlord, other than that of not wilfully and wantonly injuring them. Moreover, the fright of the horses appears to have been the proximate cause of the injury, and this is not traceable to the presence of the open well. Eor these reasons the verdict was unsupported by the evidence, and a new trial should have been granted. The facts of the present case distinguish it from Bailey v. Dunaway, 8 Ga. App. 713.

Judgment reversed. Pottle, J., not presiding.
