Opinion

Robinson, J.

This is a proceeding by condemnation to subject certain real estate of defendants’ in Kansas City to the public use of a right of way for the plaintiff railway company. After the preliminary steps taken, the commissioners filed with the circuit court of Jackson county their report, to which defendants filed exceptions. The exceptions were sustained and an appraisement duly ordered by a jury. On application of defendants a change of venue was awarded from Jackson to Clay county, where the cause was tried, resulting in a verdict for $7,000 for defendants, and 'plaintiff-appeals.

All exceptions to be reviewed arise out of the trial of the cause in the Clay county circuit court, and concern only the propriety of the proceedings therein to-determine the damages sustained by defendants.

To fix the location of the land involved in this proceeding, its surroundings and the location of the proposed railroad thereon, I have caused to be inserted herein a map used by counsel during their argument, before this court.

The description of the land sought to be acquired by plaintiff, as ascertained from its petition, is as follows:
