Appellee was a commission merchant in Gainesville. In December, 1905, and at frequent intervals thereafter-wards until September 11, 1907, he made shipments of chickens and turkeys to New Orleans by appellant’s line of express. He claimed that many of the chickens and turkeys died en route, as the result of negligence on the part of appellant, and sought a recovery against appellant of the sum of $225 as his damages. A judgment in his favor for the sum of $144 was affirmed by this court, without a written opinion. The record is again before us on a motion for a rehearing.
