There was evidence that this horse had been made nervous by the efforts to pull the waggon out of the mud and by being brutally beaten that he was standing partially on the sidewalk and at right angles to it, and that as the plaintiff approached the horse whirled around and kicked him. The case is hereupon an exception to the refusal to direct a verdict for the defendant. The refusal was right. It used to be said in England, under the rule requiring notice of the habits of an animal, that every dog was entitled to worry, but it is not universally true that every horse is trespasser, and kicks another, the kick will entitled to kick. In England if the horse is a enhance the damages without proof that the
