1Opinion of the CourtChief Justice Shields
The plaintiff, T. W. Brown, as administrator of A. 0. Brown, deceased, brought this suit in the circuit court of Smith county to recover damages for the death of his intestate, caused by the wrongful and negligent conduct of the defendant railroad company. The declaration contains two counts, both of which state a good cause of action against the defendant, with the exception that there is no averment in either of them that the intestate left him surviving a widow, child, or next of kin for whose benefit the action is prosecuted. The defendant pleaded the general issue of not guilty.
