Appellate Court of Illinois · decided 1893-10-28

<p>1. Verdicts—When Not to Be Set Aside.—Upon the facts in proof, the evidence being conflicting, and no error of law being assigned, the court is not inclined to interfere.</p>

and affirmed · Decided 1893-10-28

Mr. Justice Wall

¶1delivered the opinion of the Court.

¶2The appellee recovered a judgment against appellant for $50.37, for the value of certain broom-corn, deposited with the latter as a warehouseman.

¶3It seems that appellee deposited 204 bales of broom-corn in appellant’s warehouse, and paid the storage thereon.

¶4Afterward he sold the corn to one Thos. Lyons, and instructed appellant to deliver it to him. The claim now made is based upon the alleged fact that 198 bales, only, were delivered to Lyons.

¶5Appellant admits now, that he has one bale which was not so delivered, but denies that he failed to deliver six bales. Appellee testified that appellant admitted to him that there was the shortage claimed, to wit, six bales. Though this is now denied by appellant, we do not feel warranted in reversing the judgment.

¶6The appellee was somewhat supported by the testimony of the witness, Strains, who helped to remove the corn from the warehouse. He understood that the shortage was not denied either by the appellant, or by Doran, who was acting for him, though the witness could not state the number of bales withdrawn from the warehouse.

¶7Ho error is assigned upon the ruling of the court as to the admission of evidence, or as to instructions.

¶8The judgment will be affirmed.
