Appellate Court of Illinois, 1913

McGeever v. Moran

Appellate Court of Illinois · Decided October 9, 1913 · Thompson

183 Ill. App. 638

Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Thompson

delivered the opinion of the court.

2. Intoxicating liquors, ‘§ 249*—when instruction limiting recovery to injury to means of support is misleading. Where a declaration charges and the Dramshop Act, § 9, J. & A. If 4609, authorizes recovery for injuries to the person or property of a wife from the intoxication of her husband, and there is evidence of acts of personal violence by the husband against his wife, an instruction practically limiting a right of recovery to injury to the means of support is misleading.
