Illinois Central Railroad v. Dunning
Illinois Supreme Court
Illinois Central Railroad v. Dunning, 59 Ill. 192 (Ill. 1871)
Illinois Central Railroad v. Dunning
Opinion of the Court
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.
