Syllabus

<p>L A citizen of this State may sue the citizen of another State, served here, for a tort committed by the latter upon the personal property of the former in such other State.</p> <p>2. In action by bailor against bailee to recover damages for the detention of personal property (the property having been delivered up before action brought), special damage cannot be recovered unless expressly allege'd; and only such damages are special as do not necessarily result from the act complained of. There being no special damage alleged in this complaint, evidence of injury done to the property by a snow-storm, while it was detained by the defendant, was inadmissible.</p>
