Block v. Rehfeld, 37 Ill. App. 534 (1891)

Jan. 16, 1891 · Illinois Appellate Court

37 Ill. App. 534

Jacob Block et al. v. Max Rehfeld.

Practice.

The evidence having been conflicting, this court declines to interfere with the verdict in the case presented.

[Opinion filed January 16, 1891.]

Appeal from the Superior Court of Cook County; the Hon. Elliott Anthony, Judge, presiding.

Messrs. Blum & Blum, for appellants.

Mr. B. M. Shaffner, for appellee.

Waterman, J.

This action was begun before a justice of the peace; after trial and judgment there it was appealed to the Superior Court, and a trial de novo was heard; from the judgment of that court this appeal is prosecuted.

The case was one in which there was a dispute as to the facts", and it is because it is insisted that the jury came to a wrong conclusion as to the facts, that we are asked to reverse the judgment below.

We are by no means sure that appellee should have had a finding in his favor, but we see no sufficient reason for overturning the verdict of the jury, and the judgment of the court is therefore affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
