Opinion of the Court
Opinion op the Court by
There was uo error upon the part of the county court in admitting or refusing to admit testimony. Nor can wé determine that it did not exercise a sound discretion in regulating the introduction of evidence and the argument of the cause.
The instructions given the jury, however, do not conform to the views of this court or to the law of the case, as expressed in the 'opinion delivered at this term in the case of this Appellant vs. Helm’s Heirs. As appellees are entitled to be paid the value
The instructions as given, allowed the jury to charge the railroad company with the value. The proposed construction of its road may have added to the land taken, and in this respect they were prejudicial to the party complaining in this court.
The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial upon the principles herein indicated.
The questions in controversy between the Wintersmith and the Klinglesmiths can not be settled upon this appeal. One appellee can not prosecute a cross appeal against another, Wintersmith must prosecute an original appeal, which may be done upon this record, but'there must be service of process.
