The magnetization $M(T)$, specific heat $C_p(T)$ and the resistivity $\\rho(T)$ reveal a double-phase transition -- at $T_{N1}\\sim$ 10~K and at $T_{N2}\\sim$ 8.8~K -- which was not observed in the previous report on this compound. The antiferromagnetic transition is also visible in the thermal transport data, thereby suggesting a close connection between the electronic and lattice degrees of freedom in this Sn-based quasi-skutterudite.
