Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw Railway Co. v. Wickery
Opinion of the Court
We have examined the testimony in this case, and it is conclusive on the point, that the road had been in operation several years, and was not fenced as the statute requires, and that the place where the accident occurred was a point outside of the town, where the law requires a fence.
We perceive no ground for disturbing the verdict, and must affirm the judgment.
J-udgmmi affirmed.
