Esty v. Grant

Illinois Supreme Court September 15, 1870

Esty v. Grant, 55 Ill. 341 (Ill. 1870)

Lawrence

Opinion of the Court

Mr. Chief Justice Lawrence

delivered the opinion of the Court:

In this case we are asked to reverse the judgment merely on the ground that the verdict is not sustained by the evidence. But the bill of exceptions does not purport to state all the evidence, and, in conformity with the oft repeated decisions of this court, we must affirm the judgment.

Judgment affirmed.

Reference

Full Case Name: Jacob Esty v. James C. Grant
Status: Published
Syllabus: Bill of exceptions—its requisites. Where the error assigned is, that the verdict is not sustained by the evidence, but the bill of exceptions in the case does not purport to embody all the evidence, this court will not regard such assignment of error as properly before it.
