Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Co. v. Maher

27 Ill. App. 24, 1887 Ill. App. LEXIS 424

• Court: Appellate Court of Illinois
• Decided: May 16, 1888
• Status: Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

This is an appeal from a judgment recovered by appellee in an action brought by hitn against appellant for injuries to himself, and to his horse and vehicle, sustained by being run into by a locomotive engine being driven by the servants of appellant, at the intersection of Wood Street with appellant’s railway tracks in the city of Chicago.

The verdict is fairly supported by the evidence, but it is contended that the court erred in giving and refusing instructions. We have examined the instructions given and refused, and have considered the points which counsel for appellee has made upon the action of the court below in that regard, and the authorities cited by counsel in support of his contention, and we are of opinion that no substantial error was committed by the court.

We must be content with stating this conclusion, as we have not the time to enter upon a discussion of the position taken by the counsel, and of the facts of this case, which, in our opinion, distinguishes it from cases in which instructions refused by the court in this case, wore approved and sustained.

We find no error, and the judgment of the Superior Court must therefore be affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
