City of Dixon v. Mayer

Appellate Court of Illinois April 15, 1914

City of Dixon v. Mayer, 186 Ill. App. 247 (1914)

Whitney

Opinion of the Court

Mr. Presiding Justice Whitney

delivered the opinion of the court.

4. Municipal corporations, § 85*—power to establish rules of evidence. An ordinance declaring that general reputation shall be sufficient to convict a person of keeping a house of ill fame is void. A city cannot establish rules of evidence. 5. Appeal and error, § 1561*—where refusal of requested instruction harmless. Refusal of a requested instruction embodied in an instruction given held not error.
