Syllabus

<p>1. Carriers. Live Stock. Appeal and error. Disposition of case.</p> <p>Where mules are injured while being carried by a railroad company, a recovery therefor cannot be had, if it appears that the train met with no accident, was properly handled and the car in which the mules were being carried was suitably and properly equipped; when these facts are shown the court should give a peremptory instruction for the carrier.</p> <p>2. Same.</p> <p>In such ease where the jury in the lower court rendered a verdict for the plaintiff, the supreme court, on appeal, will reverse the ease and under section 4919, Code 1906, so providing, will enter a judgment for the defendant as should have been done in the court below.</p>
