Syllabus
<p>(a) In an issue to determine the damages to land occasioned by the construction of a railroad, the claimant was an assistant assessor in the triennial assessment for taxes for the year in which the railroad was located. In said assessment, the land was valued at $5,301; while the damages claimed were $23,000 :</p> <p>1. The assessment, showing the valuation for taxes, was admissible as evidence of much weight, but it did not operate as an estoppel in favor of the company; it was not error, therefore, to permit the claimant to testify that he took no part in the assessment, and that it was much lower than the real value of the land.</p>
