Seaboard Air-Line Railway v. Howe

Hill, J.

1. The evidence tending to show that the lumber of the plaintiff was burned by fire negligently set out by a locomotive of the defendant, and the value of the lumber, was sufficient to authorize the finding of the jury and the charge of the court complained of.

2. The jury found a stipulated amount as principal, and interest in a separate amount. There was no error on the part of the court in causing them to retire, with instructions that whatever they found as principal and interest should be united in one lump sum. Western & Atlantic R.
