Syllabus

<p>EXPROPRIATION — EVIDENCE—OPINIONS OP JURORS — REVIEW.</p> <p>1. Although the jury of freeholders in an expropriation ease are chosen as experts, and, as such, may take into consideration their own information outside of the testimony in the case, and also their own opinions, in arriving at a conclusion, yet it is error to charge them that they may disregard the testimony in the case. The language is too broad. The most that they can be told is that they may rely upon their own information and opinions as well as upon the testimony.</p> <p>2. When all the facts are before this court, the case will not be remanded because of an error in the charge to the jury, but will be finally disposed of.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.l</p>
