Syllabus

<p>Venue—Cliange—Corporations—Injuries to Kealty.—Uocie of Civil Procedure, section 392, provided i-iac actions for injuries to -eal property must be tried in the county in which the subject „of the action is situated. Constitution, article 12, section 16, provides that a corporation may be sued in the county where the liability arises or the breach occurs, or in the county where it has its principal place of business. Action was brought against a corporation for injuries to real estate in the county where it had its principal place of business, which was other than that in which the land was situated. Held, that the provision of the constitution did not affect the code provision, and hence refusal to grant defendant’s motion for a change of venue to the latter county was error.</p>
