Illinois Supreme Court

Decided September 15, 1870

Illinois Supreme Court · decided 1870-09-15

E. S. Williams, Judge, presiding. This was an action of trespass brought by Blitz against Kuhnen to recover for injuries to the person of the plaintiff, caused by the alleged wrongful and willful act of the defendant. A trial by jury resulted in a verdict and judgment for the plaintiff. The defendant appeals.

Decided 1870-09-15

Per Curiam:

¶1Although we entertain some doubt as to the correctness of this verdict, we find no legal grounds in the record for reversing the judgment. The law governing the case was stated to the jury with entire correctness. The instructions refused for the defendant, so far as they were correct, were fully embodied in those given. The evidence is so nearly balanced that we cannot say the verdict was clearly against its weight. We must affirm the judgment.

¶2Judgment affirmed.
