Opinion of the Court

Leonard, Judge.

This suit was for a trespass upon the plaintiff’s land by letting various droves of cattle upon his meadows and hay stack, and not for a mere trespass upon personal property. It was an injury, therefore, exclusively cog*149nizable in the St. Louis Land Court (Sess. Acts of 1852-8, p. 90, sec. 2, St. Louis Land Court Act,) and so the appeal lay in this case to that court, and not to the law commissioner’s court. (Same act, sec. 3.) Judgment affirmed.
