Pence, 68 Ill. 524, and must be decided in the same way. Rail wav companies are. responsible for accidents of this nature if they do not fence their road, as required by the act of 1855, and the party injured can recover without proof of actual negligence in running the trains.\nThe instruction was properly refused, and the judgment must be affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.",
