(Not to be reported in full.)
Abstract of the Decision.
1. Appeal and ebror, § 1303 * —when presumed that there was evidence sufficient to sustain finding of court. Where a bill of exceptions recited that it contained “as much evidence as recollected by counsel and court and introduced on the trial,” held that as the bill did not purport to contain allN the evidence the law conclusively presumed that there was evidence sufficient to sustain the finding of the court.
2. Appeal and error, § 1488 * —when judgment on trial By court will not he reversed for improper admission of evidence. A judgment on trial by the court without a jury will not be reversed on account of the court’s improper admission of evidence where there is sufficient competent evidence to sustain the judgment, as the court is presumed to have disregarded evidence improperly admitted.
Error to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Edmund K. Jabecki, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1915.
