Great Western Telegraph Co. v. Pfeiffer, 166 Ill. 150 (1897)

April 3, 1897 · Illinois Supreme Court

166 Ill. 150

The Great Western Telegraph Company v. Rudolph Pfeiffer, Exr.

Filed at Ottawa April 3, 1897.

This case is governed hy the decision in the case of Farwell v. Great Western Telegraph Co. 161 Ill. 522.

Great Western Telegraph Co. v. Barker, 56 Ill. App. 402, affirmed.

Writ of Error to the Appellate Court for the Second District;—heard in that court on writ of error to the Circuit Court of Peoria county; the Hon. T. M. Shaw, Judge, presiding.

Thomas J. Sutherland, and Israel C. Pinkney, for plaintiff in error.

Stevens, Horton & Abbott, for defendant in error.

Per Curiam:

This was a suit brought by plaintiff in error, against Gardner T. Barker, since deceased, to recover an assessment made on a subscription by Barker to the capital stock of the appellant company. While the cause was pending in this court on appeal from a judgment of the Appellate Court affirming the judgment of the court below in favor of the defendant, the final decision was rendered by this court in the case of Farwell v. Great Western Telegraph Co. 161 Ill. 522, which decision disposed also of all questions involved in this case. The judgment of the Appellate Court will therefore, in view of the decision of the Farwell case, be affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
