The court is of the opinion that a new trial must be granted. The report of the commissioners was clearly inadmissible. Ennis
v. Wood River Branch R.R. Co.,
The court is also of the opinion that on the record as it stands the testimony as to the value of the Ronian land was improper by reason of its remoteness from the land in question and its dissimilarity to it, in that the Ronian land was high land, while that in question was low meadow land. It has been suggested that there were other cases tried in connection with the present cases, and that some of the land involved in those cases lay near to the Ronian land and was of a similar character; but the record as made up does not disclose these facts and, therefore, we cannot take cognizance of them.
