Michigan Supreme Court February 8, 1889 (Freeman v. Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Railway Co.)

Morse, J.

The plaintiffs sue for the value of a horse and carriage destroyed by collision with an engine on defendant’s track at the Genesee-street crossing in the city of Marquette.

The plaintiffs keep a livery-stable in said city, and on the day of the accident hired the horse and carriage to one John Grant, who was driving the same at the time of the collision.
