The colt of plaintiff, as it is alleged in the petition, was killed at the crossing of a highway upon defendant’s road, through the negligence of its servants operating a train of cars, and- without carelessness of plaintiff. A motion for a new trial was overruled. The grounds of this motion are, that the verdict is not supported ,by the evidence, and that the jury, while deliberating upon their verdict, were permitted to separate. The ruling of the court upon the motion is complained of as error.
