Heuer v. Winchester Fire Insurance, 151 Ill. 331 (1894)

June 19, 1894 · Illinois Supreme Court

151 Ill. 331

John F. Heuer v. The Winchester Fire Insurance Company.

Filed at Ottawa, June 19, 1894.

1. Insurance—-former decision. The terms of the policy of insurance involved in this case, as well as the facts, being substantially as in the case of Heuer v. Northwestern National Insurance Company, 144 Ill. 393, this case is controlled by that case, and is decided the same way.

Appeal from the Appellate Court for the First District; —heard in that court on appeal from the Superior Court of Cook County; the Hon. George H. Kettelle, Judge, presiding.

Messrs. Rubens & Mott, for the appellant.

Messrs. Bates & Harding, for the appellee.

Mr. Justice Baker

delivered the opinion of the Court :

The terms of the policy of insurance involved in this case are substantially like those contained in the policy of insurance upon which suit was brought in Heuer v. Northwestern National Insurance Company of Milwaukee, 144 Ill. 393; and the other facts in this suit are identical with the other facts in that case. The case at bar is, therefore, governed by the decision in Heuer v. Northwestern National Insurance Company, supra, and it would be wholly useless to restate the grounds of the former decision, or again cite the authorities upon which the conclusion there reached was based.

The judgment of the Appellate Court is affirmed.

Judgment affirmed..
