Harris v. Whitmore

Illinois Supreme Court
Harris v. Whitmore, 66 Ill. 144 (Ill. 1872)

Harris v. Whitmore

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam :

In this ease the declaration counted upon the note, as well- as the award which the arbitrators had made for its payment. Admitting the award was void for uncertainty, as claimed by counsel for defendant, we see no reason why the note should not have been admitted in evidence, and no reason is suggested by counsel for defendant. The judgment must be reversed.

Judgment reversed.
