Appellate Court of Illinois · Decided November 19, 1896 · Gary
67 Ill. App. 96; 1896 Ill. App. LEXIS 18

Hutchinson v. Chicago & A. R. R. Co.

Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Gary

delivered the opinion of the Court.

This was an action to recover damages for a personal injury, in which, at the close of the evidence, the court erroneously instructed the jury to find for the appellee.

If we explain why we say erroneously, what we say may operate unfairly upon another trial, and therefore we simply reverse the judgment and remand the cause.
