Show A Novel Case. Log Angeles, as we learn from the Eipress, has bad a novel law suit. It came before a justice's court of that city, and was to this effect: A had a sick horse, which was in great suffering, and which he thought was sure to die. So he took the horse to B, a livery Btable keeper, and said, "I will give yon $5 to kilt this horae for me." "All right," said B. So A paid the $5, left the horse in charge of B and went away. B could not, however, summon sum-mon sufficient nerve to kill the poor animal, so, in his turn, B said to C "If you will kill this horse for me I will give you $5." "All right," said C, and C took, the horse away with him. C, however, did not kill the horse, but doctored him and restored him to health. A, much to hia surprise, sur-prise, one day saw C driving a fine animal which A unmistakably recognized recog-nized as his formerly s.ck horse. A demanded the boree from C, C refused 1 to give it up, and A brought suit' against C to recover possession of the horse. The jury decided that C was entitled to the horse. The Express understands that the case will be appealed ap-pealed to the county court. |
