Thompson, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in this court at the October term, 1914.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed March 9, 1915.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Philip Stoddard against J. B. Kepple and others, for the balance dne on the purchase price of a horse sold the defendants. There was a judgment in favor of the plaintiff, and the defendants appeal.\nThe evidence tended to show that the horse was to be delivered to the purchasers in a day of two after the sale; that the seller delivered the animal to the father of the purchasers under an agreement between the parties whereby the horse was to be pastured by the father where the purchasers could get the animal when they wanted it. While in such pasture the horse was injured by coming in contact with a wire. The only question at the trial was whether there had been a delivery to the purchasers.\nAn objection was sustained to questions asked the defendants about the ownership of land, and their condition as to pasturage at the time of the transaction.\nDaugherty & Marsh for appellants.\nWilliams, Lawrence, Welsh & Green, for appellee."
