Opinion of the Court

Hill, C. J.

The statutory presumption of negligence, which arose on proof that the cattle were killed by the running of the locomotive and cars of the defendant railroad company, not having been rebutted by the evi- • dence, a verdict based alone on the presumption was authorized by law; and the judgment refusing a new trial must be affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
