Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw Railway Co. v. Pineo
Illinois Supreme Court · Decided September 15, 1870 · Thornton
56 Ill. 308

Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw Railway Co. v. Pineo

Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Thornton

delivered the opinion of the Court:

The only error assigned in this case is, that the evidence does not connect appellants with the injury.

The railway company was sued for killing the cow of appellee.

From the evidence in the record, there can not be even a reasonable doubt that the cow was killed by the train of appellants. Such is the fair, if not necessary, inference.

The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
