Appellate Court of Illinois, 1914

City of Dixon v. Mayer

Appellate Court of Illinois · Decided April 15, 1914 · Whitney

186 Ill. App. 247

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.
