Illinois Central Railroad v. Dunning
Illinois Supreme Court · Decided June 15, 1871
59 Ill. 192

Illinois Central Railroad v. Dunning

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

This was an action against the Illinois Central Railroad Company for killing a mare. It is objected, that the evidence does not show the road had been opened for six months, or that the mare was not killed outside of a village, town or city, or not killed at a road crossing. We are of opinion the verdict is fairly sustained by the evidence on all these points.

Judgment affirmed.
