Chattanooga Ry. & Light Co. v. Bettis
Tennessee Supreme Court
PROM HAMILTON. Appeal from the Circuit Court of Hamilton County to the Court of Civil Appeals, and by certiorari to the Court of Civil Appeals from the Supreme Court. —Nathan L. Bachman, Judge.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice G-keeh
In this case there was a judgment below for the value of a pig killed by a street car belonging to the plaintiff in error. This judgment was affirmed by the court of civil appeals, and the case has been brought before us by petition for certiorari.
It is not denied in this court that there was some evidence of negligence on the part of the motorman in charge of the street car. Plaintiff in error, however, insists that the owner of the pig cannot recover, inasmuch as it was at large at the time it was killed, in violation of a stock law said to have been in force in Hamilton county.
