 agisted may be distrained by the landlord (/), but

 farmers and railway companies, by reason of the 

 trains of the latter running over horses and cattle 

 getting on the line. There is no special law or 

 rule on this subject. The great point for farmers 

 or agisters to prove is, that they have not been 

 guilty of negligence, in leaving their fences broken 

 or unmendcd. Every man is bound to keep his 

 horses or cattle properly confined; if they get out, 

 it will bo for him to prove that their escape was 

 due to accident and unavoidable.
