        "text": "Me. Justice Harkee\ndelivered the opinion of the court.\nThis was a suit in replevin commenced before a justice of the peace to recover possession of a horse taken from the pasture of appellee by appellant without leave. Appellee was successful in his suit before the justice and also on appellant\u2019s appeal, in the Circuit Court.\nIt appears from the record that the horse in question had been the property of one Sidney Simmons, the father-in-law of appellant; that sometime in September or October, 1896, Simmons gave the horse to appellant\u2019s wife, by whom it was t\u00e1ken to appellant\u2019s home, some eleven miles distant; that it escaped from appellant\u2019s premises on the first night after being brought there and wandered to the farm of appellee, where it was taken up by appellee\u2019s son and turned into a pasture. Appellant and his wife, thinking the animal had returned to Simmons, made but little inquiry about it and did not learn that it had been taken up by appellee\u2019s son for about three months. The horse was taken up and turned into appellee\u2019s pasture within a few days after it had escaped from appellant\u2019s premises and was taken up because it was annoying appellee\u2019s son by getting into the yard. The fact came to the knowledge of Simmons in about two weeks thereafter, who sent word to appellee's son by a neighbor of the latter that the horse was his and not to advertise it as he would come and take it away. Simmons did not take it away, however, and the horse remained upon appellee\u2019s premises for nearly two years when it was taken from appellee\u2019s pasture by appellant without the consent or knowledge of appellee.\nIt is clear to our minds that appellee had a lien upon the horse for feed, and that appellant was not entitled to its possession until after its feed had been paid for. Appellant bases the claim of his wife to possession upon the fact that appellee did not advertise in accordance with the statute relative to \u201c Estrays.\u201d The animal was not advertised for the reason that the man who had raised it and in whose possession it had always been, sent word to appellee\u2019s son that the horse was his and not to advertise it. Appellee\u2019s son must, as far as this case is concerned, be regarded as the agent of his father. Under the circumstances he was entirely justified in not advertising. Appellant was apprised of appellee\u2019s claim for feed and pasturage within a few months after Simmons had sent word not to advertise. He .threatened to replevy, but instead of doing so allowed the horse to be fed and cared for by appellee more than a year longer, and then instead of resorting to legal measures to assert the right of his wife he forcibly and as a trespasser obtained possession of the horse. In this view of the case a discussion of the instructions and other points urged upon our attention is unnecessary. Substantial justice has been done and the judgment should be affirmed.",
