A. J. O’Reilly v. E. M. Samuels.

1. Questions or Fact—Verdict Conclusive.—Upon questions of fact the verdict of a jury is, ordinarily, conclusive.

Memorandum.—Assumpsit on a promissory note. Appeal from the Superior Court of Cook County; the Hon. John Barton Payne, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the October term, 1894, and affirmed.

Opinion filed December 6, 1894.

L. L. Smith, attorney for appellant.

Griffin & Bradley, attorneys for appellee.

Mr. Justice Waterman

delivered the opinion of the Court.

This was an action upon a promissory note.

The defendant endeavored to show by cross-examination of the plaintiff that the note was given for losses sustained in a gambling transaction on the Board of Trade.

Only a question of fact is involved. We see no sufficient reason for interfering with the judgment of the Superior Court and it is affirmed.
