Syllabus

<p>Bailment—Use—Compensation—Evidence—Suepiciency. In an action to recover for the use of a young mare for about four years, the evidence is insufficient to support a verdict for $1,046.50 where the value of the animal or of her use was not shown, and the parties were brothers, neither engaged in a business indicating that other than ordinary use was contemplated; and $400 appears to be all that she could have earned.</p> <p>Payment—Medium—Contracts'—Breach. Under a promise “to do what is right,” for the use of a mare, the medium of payment is money where no other is expressed, and a money compensation Will be awarded for breach of the contract.</p>
