O'Reilly v. Samuels
Appellate Court of Illinois · Decided December 6, 1894 · Waterman
55 Ill. App. 438; 1894 Ill. App. LEXIS 448

O'Reilly v. Samuels

Opinion of the Court

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.
