IIigbee J.
It appears from the bill of exceptions in this case that appellee, in January, 1880, shipped on appellant’s road a car load of horses and mules from Paris, Illinois, to East St. Louis. Appellee went with and took charge of his stock. Before leaving Paris he discovered that one of his mules was down in the car, having kicked one of its feet through the slats three feet and a half above the floor. Appellee immediately informed the conductor, and they pushed a slat back, released the mule’s foot, and the slat sprung back to its place; the mule got up soon after the train started.
