delivered tbe opinion of tbe court.
It is a rule of law that every person is entitled to a remedy for bis compensation for every injury to bis person, reputation, or property, however inflicted by another person; and it also allows tbe jury to impose punitory damages, for such injuries as are done under circumstances of insult, malice, fraud, oppression, or willful wrong. Storm v. Green, 51 Miss., 103, 109; Railroad Co. v. Scurr, 59 Miss., 456 (42 Am. St. Rep., 373); Manufacturing Co. v. Marlett, 78 Miss., 872 (29 So. Rep., 62). Other authorities might be added, but are omitted, because we know of no broader rule, anywhere advanced, than the one here stated.
For the error of the court in the instructions, as indicated, and in refusing a new trial, the judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded.
Reversed and remanded.
