Aleputed, that inetrauctions are to be considered ae a series and
that omissions in one instruction which sre supplied in othere
will be considered harmless unless there i2 an obvieus tendency te
mislead the fury; and she say that manifestly in a cage where, a8
here, there are twe irreeencilable and conflicting thesries ag te
the manner and placa of the agcident, it ia imposrible for clain-
tiff te state ail tse law of the case embracing totn of the con-
Tilcting theories in ene instruction. An examination of the ine
@tructions ae s whele discloses that the jury by other instructions
were elesriy and repeatedly infermed by the court that »vlnintirfr
Rad alleged in her dedlaration that she vas a passenger for hire
upen the etreet gar and that unless she sad proved this by 4 pre
ponderanes of the evidence, ahe could not resever, There were at
ieast three eueh inetrustions, wille in still another inetreetion
the fury was told that there wee ne charge in sleaintiff's declarae-
tion that she was infured as a reeult of faiiing frem the atreet
ear or being struck by the front ef the street car, and that if
the jury believed from a preponderance of the evidenes that plain-
tiv? elther fell in front of the car or wae struek by the front of
the street car, there aculd be no recovery ii the case, Obviously,
as defendante suggest, this eritielan of the instruction would nave
been obviated by inserting at the beginuling of the iustruction a
Clause tc the effeet that "1s the jury believes from tas evidence
that plaintiff was o paceenger on the sar in queation, then the
jury are inetrusted tuat it is the duty ef goamen carriere,” ete.
Defendants cite a number of eages, some involving ¢riminal oreseeue
tions, where an inetruction sot in fers different from this one wag
held to he mislesding ag assuming a aantroliing fact which wag
clearly in dispute. The oxeee cited are too nuueroue fer review.
Peop man, 273 112, 864, ond People v. Hervey, 286 Lil.

Chicago Bailvays Uo., 299 Ili. S60, are twe of the causes involving
¢ivil actione where the rule has been diseumsed and applied, These
eases are to be distingulaked from these in which instruetions have
been held erroneous as emiiting certain «essential elements while
directing a verdict. Theat ig not the oriticgiom, but the contention
is that the inetruetion as a whele assumes a controlling md eontre-
verted fact. An instruction of this kind is net for this reasen
held te be reversibly errotieous in every case, but only where the
reviewing court must reach the conclusion woen an examination ef
the whele ease that 1t would prehabtly mielead the jury. The feet
that in sueh case anotier instruction was given stating the law
eorrectiy upon the particular watter assumed doas not cure the error
ef sue tmatruction. Ye think the instruetion subject te eriticiem
in this reseect.
befendantsalsee contend teat the instruction 41a wet Limit
tae apolicaticn ef the rule ef highest degree of practicable eare te
the evidence te which it could be properly applied, The jury, it is
Said, was not advised as to *hen under the law a person becomes a
Passenger and becomes eatitied te the pretestion ef this highest
degree of care, Defendants esy that no other inetruetion advised
the jury om thie point, and that fer aught that appears in the in.
struction the jury mey have undereteed that it aoplied te a person
whe atepped up te the traek for the pursese af boarding a particular
ear then appreashing. it dees not, hovever, appear that defendants
offered any instruction on this point, and if the jury was met ine
formed in that regard defentauts are er in & position to come
plain.
Another eriticiam of insirustion fic, 3 ig that while it sete
ferth the usual rule that a earrier is set an insurer of the abeo-
lute safety of the passenger, it qualified that rale by ssverting

that the carrier wae obligated to exercise the highest degree of
practicable care to geeure the safaty of the pasvenger and was
‘responsible for the slighest negleet, resulting in injury ef the
passenger.* It is ssid that the effect of that rule is te minimize
and practically nullify the sen-insurer rule snd corres ondingly
enlarge the rule of highest degree of practicable care; thet the
rule that the carrier is net an insurer of the safety of the eassen-
ger in a limitation on the rule ef highest degree ef practicable
eare and that without the sen-linsurer rule a jury “ould be likely
to extend the application of the highest degree of »ractieable care
beyond ita proper limit; that the courts have always been careful
to limit the passenger rule of care se that juries will net be mis-
led and that the noneinsurer rule is intended to sarve thet purpese,
Sefendsnts point out that, im the application ef the rule
that a plaintiff must eetabliesh Ais case by @ wresenderance of the
evidence, limitation of the same by statecents ite the effeet that a

told the jury in substance that while a common carrier was net an
insurer of the ssafety of passengers that did met “in the slightest
degree” relieve the currier of its duty te exercise the nighert
degrees of sare, ¢tc., Yas erroneous, and that by auesh Ainetruction
the jury would be enceuraged te extend the rule requiring highest
degree of care beyond tue Lisitation ef the nen-ineurer rule, Plain-
tiff peints out that this court has refused to reveres “here aubetam
tially similar instruetione were given, ag in iliingis Southern Ay.
eo, v. Hubbard, 106 Til, Appe 462, where the inetruction ssid that
the eurrier was on insurer of the passenger ageinat any injtéry that
might befall him by reasen of ite negligent act, while he was in the
exercise of care; as in Kaghensid v. Ghicage Hy, Co., 210 Ill. App.
87, where an instruction stated that = carrier was reapensible te «
passenger for “the slightest negleet te exercise such care,* and as
in a still later case where this court refused te reverege for an ine
struction whieh anid the earrier was ebligated te use the highest
degree of practical care and was ‘responsible for the slighteat
neglect resulting in injury.”
We de not new Bold that the use of the phrase in an inetruee
tion ef this kind ia in 211 ecsees reversibly errensous, avertheless,
we do sol4 that such language is subject to the oriticiam thet it
may in some cases mislead the jury snd might in a Gae@ ciose upen
the facts require a reversal,
instruction Se. 3 is further eriticized, in that while
helding the carrier ressensibie fer the sligheat negleet resulting
in injury to the passenger, the instruction does net confine this
reaponsibility to the negligence charged in the dselaratien. It
ie pointed out that the rule te fundamental and witneut exeeption

€g., 233 Tl. 169; Lyons v, Ryereon & Yon, 242 Ill. 408, and
ie, Boe Til. 368,
DeTendantea point out that in each count of pleintiff'’s dee

there Was no evidence tending te #sow what caused the car to stars

done by the conductor or woterman; that the alleged start with a
jerk may have been due to the mechaniem of the esr “itheut any fault
on the part ofdefendsnte’ servants, They further point out, citing
Prisogli, 176 122, 3305 and Bide -

ie He Co. v. Conner, 217 fed. 956, that preaumptive nega
ligenece may net be indulged usless the declaration ia broad enough
te include every kind ef segiigence which might have euanne the ace
cident, aid that etherwiese the rulg that recovery may be had enly
em proof of the negligence charged in the declaration might be
violated. Gn tha ether Hand, sisintiff pointe out mumersus other
inatructions which covered this point and by wiich the jury wae
repeatediy told that plaintiff eould not reeover uniess ene had
proved negligence ae satsted in her deelaration, and she eays that in
view of the full, concise and gemplete inetructions given, it ia
preposterous te argue thet the jury might nave in any way been mis-
led by the imatruction.
When this inetruetion is carefully read, however, while not
4ireetly and expresely mandatery in form, it La in substanee mandatory

which the fury was toid in substance that if plaintiff's injury re

the jury might allow damages for gach sggravation. Befendantse de

Probate court is in the form of an aceount between Dr. Vecionald and
herseif, in which she charges him “by eash placed to the eredit
Gharles Nacdoneid in the Drexel “tate bank on Jetober 24, 1951, and
for money ten had and received from said Ann ‘elker by the said
Charles Macdonald .... $3579.75." There are other iteme in the ec-~
egunt which it seams were act allowed by the jury and which sre
therefore not involved in the appeal.
The Glainant wes incompetent to testify under the statute
as to any oceurrence with reference to the transaetion pier to the
@eath of Dr. Nagdonald. “he produced witnesses, however, vhose evi-
dence tended te show that five daye before the death w& Gr. Maeden-
ald, on Gotober 26, 1931, Kiss “alker took to him in the hospitsl in
Sek Park a certificate for 25 shares of stock in the Comeonweai th
Edison Co. This sertificate was in her nome. 4 photograph @ it is
in evidence, “She at thet time signed the blank form of assignment
on the usck of the certificate, and Mr. Yhitehesd, of the Cozmon-
wealth “dieon Co., at that time wrote his name on it as & Witness to
her signature. The gertificste upon its faee appeare to mMV¥e been
issued to the eleimant Getober 15, 1951. nm the day foliswing the
execution of the assicnment at the houpitai, the evidente shurs
Glaimant took thie certificate, together with another for 25 shares
in the same company fasued to or. Macdonald and endsursed by him, te
Mr. SoCarthy, sho was the manager of the Orexel ‘tate bank. UP. 'G=-
Carthy made out a “sell order” which ies *alker signed. In. Hacdon-
eld'’s signature aleo appears on thie order. This sele was thereupon
executed by the bank through e broker. One of the sertificsates mid
at $143 a share and the other et$l143p a share. This sell order siso
directed the sele of a hunéred shares of Imsull Utilities, whieh, it
appears, the bank likewise sold at this time at 712 3/6 a ehawe.

The proceetis after dediwting charges ancunted ts the sum of 06,368.
Ro part of this sum was paid to Mise Yelker, and all the money resi-
ized fram these sales was deposited to the ageounte of Dr. Masdonsld
in the bank.
when Sr. MeGarthy wes on the witnese stand he was asked by
the attomey for plaintiff to state the conversation with kies Yealker
at the time thia deposit was made. The attorney for the exesuter ob-
jeeted, and the objeetion was sustained. Beeause it wae a cart of the
actual transaction, we think the verbal statexent which aecomm nied
the aet of depositing this money should have been admitted in evidence,
On @ress examination the banker was asked by the attorney for defend- |
ant if the oroceeds were deposited in the account of Ir. Maedoneld at
Miss Salker's recucat. The attormey for sleimant objected, eteting
that if that question was allowed he would then ineist that the whole
conversation should be received. VYhereupen, the attermey for the
executor withdrew the evestion. Yhuse evidence wae kept out vhich
should have been admitted and which it is fir te infer would mve
been favorable to slaimant. On the evening af the day ty. Meedanald
died, James Macdonald hie son, Gertrude, his daughter, Miss Yel mr
and a Mp, Ammiger, were present. Mr. armiger says he suggested to
Jemes Macdonald that if the dootor had seeuritics or money in the
bank 1¢ would be well to «et them out before the bank was aware thet
the dostor had passed away. It wae ateated thet the dooter had money
on deposit in the benk and that the daughter Gertrede had power of
attorney to sign ehesks. Thereupon, Mr. Armiger had Gertrude draw a
ehesk in blank and handed it to Vies “elker. om the followin ay,
Sundey, Mise Welker wae at dinner at the home of Mr, Armiger, and
the testimony is that after dinner claimant took from & bag, money
amounting to 88,726.01. Arniger testified that ciainent placed this
money on the table seying that swat of br. Macdonald's money wes in

to take gure of the children at seheol.” “es further testified that
he saw the dootor again about three weeke before he died -- about
Gotebker iGth or Leth and "he told me thet he couldn't buy any « toek
ag he already purchased from Mr. thitehead.”
it seems that at this time the Utility “sewrities ¢com-
pany Was avting as selling agent for stock of the Commonwealth #di-
SOn Company and that the employees of the soucany vers used as a-
gente in making these sales. Wr. “hitehesd was an employee of the
Utility Securities company and effected the actuel sale of this
stosk, on Cotober G, 1931. Dr. iMaedenald tought 25 shares for each
ef hia children an¢ 8&8 shares for himself. Twenty-five sharea were
3016 te the claimant Ann ‘elker. A memorandum as of that dete was
issued en contract No. 5146, which is in evidenes as ¢isimant's ox
hibit S. It shows the purehase of 26 shares of Commonwealth idis on
company atock at the prise of {139 2 share, or « total of #5476, and
states that the stock vhen fully exid ia to be inwusd te “Anne *al~
ker, 765 Jekwood fivd., Ghieago, Tli.” The neme of “Anne Kalker*
is signed thereto as purchaser. The nenorandum shows an agrees nt
ta purchase stack; to pay cash within thirty days; the reesint of
$328, a statement that the sale was made sy Uhiteheed, and the ap-
proval of the Utility Seeurities company dated Setober 18, 1931.
thitehead testified that the lenghand writine on the
memorandum was his, and thet the memorandum was prepared on Goto ber
&, 1931, in Or. Meodonald’s office; that on Getober 9, 1951, he
again Galled at the office of Dr. Macdonald u:d asked him for an
affidavit thet the 25 shares of stook to be pleced in Miss Uolker's
neme was actually her orn; that Or. Macdonald replied thet 1% waa
Miss “alker's money, but that he would give an affidavit, which he
wrote and took to the next room where it was typed; thet when it
was returned to whitehead it had been signed by Mias falker and the

as Exhibit 4 and is as follows:
“"'To “hom Tt May Coneern'
This is te eertify that I am buying
26 shares of Commonwealth Sdisonm stock in my name.
(signed) anne ‘alker
768 Cukwood hivéd.”
Attached thereto is the s¢ai of a notary public.
Mies Julie Uternberger, who saye thet ehe was an employee
af Dr. Maedonald at thie time, doing typinc, ete., was show this
exhisit and said that Or. Maedenald wrote it om « serap of vaper and
told her to copy it and that she took it into another room end copied
it. She also says that on the day before, Sr. ‘hitehead wes in the
office and that Mise yalker called her to type a letter, and that the
doctor seid, referring to vr. thitehead, "This pest ta eitting here
again and he wants you to buy some otock.” Ghe alse eaye that thite-
head returned the next day; that Or. Macdonald then gaid thet Hise
Walker wanted to buy some stock, and thet Khe was ready to give her
monscy $o buy it with; and that sas when she typed the peper.
y The testimony of “hitehesad is further to the effeet thet
he told Or. Masdonald that he was limited in selling the atoek to 26
shares to a sustemer; thet euch wee the rule ef the company, and that
was the reason vhy he took the affidavit; that the sompany required
him to do so. He gays thet the 25 shares for or. Matdonald, the #&
shares for hie son James and 25 for Gertrude were sola om the 8th,
and that the shares to Mises Yalker were #014 on the foll@ ing day.
The affidavit was requested because the advance payment on atecount
of Hiss Walker's stock wes to be taken out of the chesks of Dr. Mac-
@oneald. Fe says: “Dr. Meedonald enid thet he would gee ies tel ker
end would protest me. “hen I saw the dogter on Setober @th he sald
that he did not have the money loose, but would buy some shares
later on, and that for the shares s0id to Mise ‘elker be would give
his eheek or cash, as he wee taking ¢are of Miss *alker’s payments.”

As a matter of fact, “hitehead had at various times before these par-
ticular transactions sold stock to the doctor and also to Mies Welker.
At a prior time she purchased eight shares of the Commonwealth ‘dison
company stock on the advice of Or. Maedonaid.
A temporary reeeipt upon a printed form uaed by the Utility
Securities company was issued to Ann Yelker on Jetober 15, 1931, on
sontract No. 5146. ‘The original is in the record as Exhibit 5 md
atates that the amount paid is $3150. At the bottom of the receipt
appears in large type a printed notice in substance that the reeeipt
is issued in lieu of recording payment on the invoice or security
savings account book and a request to keep the receipt and when son-
venient to present it with invoice or security savings account beok
for entry.
There. is evidence, too, from which the jury had a right
to infer that thie certificate of stock was dsiivered to cleimant and
that she held possession of same from that time until she delivered
it up to the bank to be sold.
The executor contends that the fect that the proceeds of
the sale were placed in Or. Macdonald's account and therefore in his
possession, creates a presumption of ownership which must be overcome
before the prima facie title will be dtvested. He cites Martin v.
Martin, 174 Iii. 571; Coffey v. Goffey, 179 Til. 285; Chestnut v.
Chestnut, 15 i11. app. 390, and other cases. He says that the infer-
enee to be drawn from the act of plaintiff in depositing the proceeds
in the sale of the stock in br. Macdonald's secount in the benk is
that he was entitled to the money and thet it belonged to hin. He
cites Miller & Graves v. Pratz, 179 Ill. App. 204; Kinahan v. butler,
133 Ill. app. 459. We do not understand that the law as stated in
these cases is questioned by claimant. This argument of the executor,
indi cates a disregard of the theory of claimant's suit which is that
she had a right to recover upon « quesi-centrast. See Restatenmt of
the Law, Contracts, vol. 1, sec. 5, p. 7a, where it is seid: “"guasi-
sontrsets, unlike true contracts, are not based on the apparert inten-

tion of the parties to undertake the performances in question, ner
are they promises. They ere obligations ercated by law for reazcons
ef justice.” Upon that theory oleiment cites Seterson v. Smith, ®11
Ill. App. 451; Laflin v. Home, 112 Ili. 25%; Nirst Net'l. Bank v.
Gatton, 172 Til. 625. She also points out, citing Jromwell v. Brom-
well ‘state, 139 Ill. 484; Peabody Cosi co. v¥. Industrial Com. 289 fil.
$35, that the presumptions upon whieh defendant relies are only preeum-
ptions of fact, which in the last analysis were for the jury te ¢onsider
in connection with all the evidenee and not presumptions of law to be
determined by the court. “e think this coustruction is gorrest. Con-
sidered as a rule of evidence the feet that the proseedsa of the sale of
Claimant's stook was placed in the benk agcount of decedent would prime
facie indieate the proceeds beionged to him, but the presumption wae
only prima facie. It was not an abaclute presumption. Tt wes a rule
ef evidence--a matter to be considered by the jury in the light of all
the other faetsa which appeared in evidence.
%e think, toe, the offered testimony of witnesses az to
statements made by claimant in revard te her ownership at the time the
stoek wae cold and at the time the stuek wae still in her peszession
was erroneously excluded, and that this ovidenes should have been ad~
mitted.
Pefendent also argues that since the claim was for « fixed
asount of money, it did not sall for the sxereise of equitable rules
by the Probate saurt and thet the ¢laimant ess therefore obliged te
prove a precise gum due. Nowhere, ssys deferiant, is there any proof
meade of any specific amount that claimant ever tured over to the de~
eedent. There is not, he says, a word of evidence to shor how such
money claimant ever lounéd Dr. Macdonsid, » nd the reeord is si lent
es to whether the lean waa tem or ten thousand dollars. Theres were
facts, he seya, which micht have been easily proved, and in this con-
nection he cites {chell v. Yeaver, 225 Ill. 159, where it wee heid

that the allowance of e elaim against an estate did not require the
exercise of ghancery povers ty the Frebate court and that the mis
upon review of eantroverted questions of fact is the same in such
eases ag in other actions et ia¥.
Here, sgain, this rule is not sontreverted. This cleim is
not for money icaned. As already said, the euit is based upon the
theory that as « matter of conscience clisimant iz entitied to recover
from the estate the auount of money which the decedent received fram
the sale of stook which telonsed to the claimant. “het sum ia defi-
nitely proved by the aziount reeeived from the sele of stock. The evi-e
dence is that one of these esrtificates broucht °S579.355 and the other
$3567.25. The certifieate of claimant broucht one or the other of
these amounta, and the difference is nat important.
The gontrolling question in the case isc #®ether the verdict
of the jury ie clearly and manifestiy sassinet the weight of the evi-
dence, ae defendant contends it is, Yhe decision of that question is
elese upon this record. In weichine the evidence we may not dierezard
the faet that two Judges, one in the Pretbete court and the other in the
Gireuit sourt, who sew and heeré the witnesses, have anproved the al=
lovanse of the @laini; thet a jury oy tweive mem wha sise eaw ma heard
the witnesses and those verticuier @uty it was to try the facts have
alwo decided these issues of fact in @laimant's fever. 8 sre not um-
minéful of the duty east upon courte to jesiously cuard the estates of
decedente from wnearranted cisims. In thie ease the trisl judge, ve
think, as airesdy stated, erred as agninst the gleiment in exeludi ne

tended to srove her ease. ‘¢ Sizht wish thet the reesrd di soles ed

decedent and claimant. “e have not overlooked the testimony of Tanes
Kasdoneld, whieh is denied by claimant, but he, ae well as clelmnt,
is interested in the cease. Hr. amiiser too, seems to heave taken an

UR, PRESIDING JUSTICR BATCHETY
DELIVERED THE OPINIGL OF THY Count,
Thies is an appeal hy the Illinois State Pawners Asgociation,
a limited partnership, and Jeseph @. horehak, from an order antered
Bovember 27, 1933, appointing receivera for all the agsets and
property of the partuersaip. fhe orser "ae entered without notice
upon the verified bill of compicint ef Beatrice Feldman filed on
that date. The record discloses a motion by defendants to vacate
the order of Hovexber 27th and that the same was denied on Decen-
her 22, 1933. Defendants save agvigned and argued errers in that
regard, Mowever, the order of December 22nd was not avoealable,

it. See Gmith-Hurats Ill. Rev. ®tate., ehap. 110, 266. i123, Tre

ley erred in entering the order ef Sevember 27th.

partnership organised in 1919 under the Uniform Limited Partnership
act (see Suithellurd's [1]. Hey. Stats. 1935, ehap. 106), par. 7,
pp. 2123-27, Laws of 1917, B- 60¢.) ‘the articles of partnership
are attached te the bill of compisint. The purpese of the partner-
ship is stated to be te engage in iending money an taking real or
personal property as security therefor, ete. ‘the partnership, ins
faet, conducte a prosperous pawn-broking business at 140 Korth

tends that by reason of the death of her husband the partnership
theretofere existing was diesclved, She bases thie cantention on
& eonetruction of article 9 of the partnership articles, which we

ereceden certain caragraghs at expressing conditions with whieh she

may ehere auch meaning harmonizes vith the eontext have the effeet
of creating an exception, but, ordinarily, as wae said in Bonegay
¥. Rebinsgn, 210 5, ¥. 65%, it has ne other or greater significanes

Words and Phrases and Madii v ~ 7a L, Be, S30.
Hereover, parts of the bili are inecneiatent with the theery thet
the partnership hare been in Cuct disesived, as in one gart of the
bill where i¢ is averred that coupiainsnt served netice tast ene
had become a general partner, Woiech comsiaimant} in ser brief aays
she 41d, “desiring to organize under the act for here¢lf and for
her brother Joseph emda for aii the Limited purtueres ani to prevent
a dissolution.” Again, the language of article § is not in any sense
mandatory, and the conetruction fer waich complainant gentends can
net reasonably be based upen Wie words used in it. Gowplainant's
conduct is aleo inconsistent with such conetrusction. “We held that
the death ef Feldman did net dissclve the purtvuerghip. indeed, the
bill of complaint is quite ingonslztent in this reepest. As a mate
ter ef facet, comelainant brings her suit and describes herself as
"beth ga Limited and general partner,” which she can not be if, as
she now contends, the death ef her usband bose fuctoe dicecived the
partnerghip. The allegations oi the biil are not sufficient te show
that ahe ia a general partner, far the reason that it falle te ale
lege thet she has been accepted aa such by the other partners,
What her exact relaticnahip te the partuerahip may be, it is net
necessary Tor ug te decide at thic time. Ane ia of course a limited
partner but whether she is a general partner Le not « controlling
fact concerning the precise question we are called upen to degide,
With the main iseues raised ty the bili and anewer we have
Nething te do an this angeal. The only question before ue concerns
the propriety of the erder appointing receivers pondente lite.

These perpone aseoclated themesives under tae Uniferm Fartnership

lution ef the Agseciation as & result of the death, disability or
ineanity of any sf the gartuers. Chief Justiee Geott said in the
ease of First ge, 7 Lil. B07:
“A receiver should be appointed in no case, unless Lt is

preserve some particular preperty for such parties ae shall be

It avere (stating cireumstances) an alleged threat of Joseph Korghak
te appoint hie wife Jeanette a general partner, and it may well be
that this is an event which sheuld be avolded, and if a0, there is
an obvious rmiedy vithout a receiversiip. it savers that the boake
and regords may be altered « a thing possivle but very isnrchable
under the facts as stated in the bill. It avers the right of come
plainant te eonpel Joseph =. korahak, or the limited partners, te
apocint her a general partner - 9 contention, a8 slrendy stated,
inconsistent with the theery that Feldman'a daath disealived the
partnership, In short, the bill discloses an unlertunate family
quarrel, in whieh more than ane woman is such interested and in
which rein is threatened to & pronperouRe buainess =~ the result of
years of labor and industry. Cemplainant teas rights, waieh ne court

necounts between the partica invelwing the making of these various
notes an the amounts paid on account anc finds that when sn
indebtedness watured complainants vere compelled tc sigm a renewal

master concluded tmat the tranesctions between the complainants
and these defendants were tainted by usury, and that the acceunting
ahewed that there was no money duc or owing from the complainants
to the defendante.

by confession om these netes, which judgment ie still in ferce
and uUentisfied; that subsequently otempel agcigned the mortg@age
end notes to Claud A. Sneed, one of the defendants, whe esucei a
writ of replevin to issue out of the Runicipal court ezainet
Minnie Starck, ond the trucks were taken out of the possession of
the eomplainants upon the replevim writ. ‘This suit was still
pending in the Municipal court ef Chieagce., The master found
that no consideration woe civen for these nates or she chattel
mortgage, that the replevin suit sh@uld be restrained and enjoined,
end that the judgment on the motes should be satisfied.
Apparently Sneed, acting ac the asclguee of OLempel,
held a sale of the trueke wider the terms of the chattel mortgage,
and although complainents geve metice thet they were the ocners
of the trueks, Sneed preeecded and scld the game to Chriet Slaeny
aieo one of the defendamte. The mister could properly conelude
thet in this tranacetion “tempol, “necd and Gleen vere acting as
the agents or servants of Seld enc Levineem, doing business as
Meter Gar FPinaree Company, and wore commiving and eoifedersting te
evade the usury laws, and thet sxid agelcnments anc sale were
merely s pretense for this purpose. The master slec fownd that
all the notes and vhattel mortgages exeeuted by the complainants,
avi whieh were retained by the defendants, should be celiveree up
and eancclied, amd that the defendants should be required te
gurrender the moter trucke takes by them.
While the sbetract notes that objections were filed te
this report, it fnile te show whet they were. Heither doses the
gbestract show the character of any exceptions filed, in the
brief for defendants counsel have undertaken to relate at consid
erable length the facts and the secounty between the parties,

there is ne reason wiy, ln on action te recover posuesslon tueroel,

The court held in that case that the pisintifY nad preperly speeially
Pleaded matters which entitled nim te damages in exeene of the were
rental value ef the property.
If plaintiff had, by especial pleadings, claimed daviages for
matters arising at the time of the original trespass, defendant
eould have suceessfully pleaded the five yaar statute ef Limitations
an to such special pleas, and even if the atatute had not ran, def end-
ant was entitled te notice that siaintirl weuld olaia more than the
rental value ac that :¢ might plead to the same and prepere to meet
#ueh claims upon the trial. Sflsintiiiy by her deglaration having
@laimed only for use and geeupstien, was net entitled to reeever
for extra dasager.
the court inatrected the gary that ite sele function in this
ease Was to fix the reasonable rental value ef the seven inchee ef
land. In substance, this was repeated im seme sight inatruetions
given to the fury. It ia evident that the jury entirely dleregarded
these inetruetions, an¢ whether moved by eympathy or fer seme eter
reanons, returned an excessive verdict. Swen if special damages
had been alleged, the evidence would not have justified the ameant
or the verdict.
Plaintiff's brief! concedes that im the somaon law action ef
trespass for mesng profits plaintif? ean recever apeclal damages
only if the same are pleaded, bul asserts that the damages preven
were not specialdamages but general damages, citing Glmstead v.

Plaintiff ef the encroachment on her lot tie work was stopoed, ond

Defendant further contends thai the court erred in refueling
am inetraction tendered by it, by wate it wae cought te have the
court instruct the fury that if they found fro the switence thet
plaintiff wae riding in the cab at the invitation of the cab
driver without the intention ef paying my Gare, or to berome a
passenger for hire, then the plaintiff sould net reeever. The
argument in support ef this offered instruction ie, taat if slaine
tifs wane net & passenger but wae riding omly at the invitation
oY the éGriver, he could net recover unless he waa maliciously
injurad, and that thers wae ne ald egation in the d@olaration that
would warrant a verdict finding that pisintiff wae gnllelouely
injured, Be authority da cited in suppert of tide ereummt,
Yhe ineatruction was treperly refused becuase there was ac evidence
thet the piaintiff was riding si the invitation ef the Ariver,
Mereover, at abave etated, the jury was ingiructed at the regueet
ef defentant thet plaintiff could net resover unless the jury
believed from o preponderance of the evideneo that sialntiff, at
the time in question, was a pasmanger for hire, Ye think the
inetruction given sufficiently severed the point, amd that it
wae net errer te refuse the inatruectieon,

that hie seeond wife said he ghould not have sent the $20,000 te
Florence, and he replied that 1% wae Plerence's money and that he
hed Mabel's and would give it to her when he thought she needed it.
In addition to the foregeing witnesses, the claimant ealled
L. P.Miller, an attorney whe Bad repreeanted Jenn #. Carlecs in a
mumber ef matters in 1956. the witness stated Ke wae willing te
teatify to conversations with John &. Carlsen, but Jid net want te
be criticized for reveaiing professional disclosures. ‘tnereupen
the executor stated he nad ne objection, but ceulieeh fer the exe~
cuter objeeted, and etated that ae bad no right te waive the ebjee-
tien; the chieetion was sustained, Counsel then made an offer te
ehew what the witmess would testify te, whieh waa in eubetenee thas
John KH. Carlson had stated he was holding the inauranee money in
trust for his daughters.
Glaimant's position seems to be that whan Jehn *. Carleen
in July and Geecember, 1915, received the money under the pelicies
from the assurance society, it wae received by him as a trustee fer
his two daughters, ani this sees to be predicated on the fact that
the policies, when they were i«sued, were made payable te Gusie i.
Garleon, the sesured's first wife, and thet #he requested Jehn &.
Garleon te keep the insurance solisier and the money fer the tve
daughters, and that afterward John i. Corieen stated te several
witnesses tist s« was helding the money regelved frem the insurance
company in trust for the dsugnters,
We think the eentention eannet be sustained. the policies
were issued in 1905 and 1904; they were payable te Gusie iL. Corleen,
the wife, in ease she curvived her husband; but they sles previded

Carisen died in 1910; she waa survived by the assured hueband, and
the money was paid to him by the Ineuranee company 15 years after
the policies were issued, naxnely, in July ané Degoember, 1014. The
money “as his property under the exprese terse of the policies and
he ¢i4 set bold it aa truetes for Mie daughters or in any other ea~
pacity than owner. if he desire te make a gift af the insurance
money to his daugnters, chviously he eould have done oe. Bat the
evidence falls shert ef what the law requires to accomplish sueh a
result. KeCertney v, Ridgway, 160 i11. 129; Weaver vy. Yeaver, 182
Til. 287; 4) ain, 165 Ili. 2215,
in paseing on the saeetion as te what wae required te eon-
atitute a gift inter vives, the court in the KeCariney cease said,
(p. 186): “Te conetitute a valid gift inter vives, possesvion and
title must pass to and veet in the donee, or in a trustes for the
denec. If anything remains to be fome to complete the gift, what
eo remaine to be dene cannot be enforeed, an it im based npen no

In the Seaver case (182 111. 287), the aseured's widew and
hie mother esen claimed the benefit of an insurance policy upon the
life of the busband and eon, About a year after the aseured wae
Barried he went te the ineurance company and executed an ageigoment

company and togk the other, with the policy, te hia heme, About
four years later he made another assignment ef the poliey te his
wite, One scopy of the avelgnment was attached to the policy and
delivered by him to her, the other was delivere? te the Insurance
company after his death. The court anid (p. 290): "Both assigvments
are admitted by all parties to have been intended by the aseignor
as mere gifts." it was eontended by the assignment of the solicy te
the mother, the gift was complete and that the assured had exhausted

hie power of further aceigrment. In gonsidering thie surstion the
eourt said (p. 291): “The eorrectness of the contention desends
upon whether or not there was such a delivery ef the assigument as
te put the eontrol of it and the peliey eut of the power of the
aesigner during the remainder of hie life, It ie coneedes, as
@learly it must be, that unless there wag such delivery the gift
to the mother was net se perfected inter vives ax to give it validity
a6 against the second asmignment.* “he court held that the delivery
of the assignment to the mother was insurficlent, and ecantinuing
aaid, “Hoe controversy 1s wede upen the orc3esitien that an actual
Mmenuscl delivery was not necesuary, but it is admitted * = * that
@ g002 delivery may be misde by acts withent worde, by worde with-
out acta, or by beth; that «2 delivery may be legelly made to 5
third pereen for the benefit of a grantec, or, af im thie case,
the assignee. The usual mode of delivery is the sutual transfer
from the grantor te the grantee, But it le too well undsrstece be
@ell fer citation of authorities, that the deslaratione and conduct
of the grantor in relation te the instrueesnt sey be such an te bee
come equivaient te such actual delivery, and in every euch case the
erusisl test is the intent with which the acte or declarations were
made, and that intent is to be ascertained fren the donduct ef the
parties, particularly the grantor, amd all the surreunding cireum-
stances of the transaction.” And continuing (p. 992) the court, in
paseing on the question of delivery ef a <ift or deed, said: "It
is indispensable, whatever meane may be adapted to necomplish its
delivery, that the deed pase beyond the fdeminion and contrel of
the granter, for otherwise it can net he correctly sald to come
Within the power and contrel of the grentee. Their intersets are
diametrically eppesed, “oth cannet, consistently wlth ite sbjeete,

witness testified that om the date the aesured Filked out the
blamks .atthe sifice of the Insurance sempeny he directed the wit-
ness to infors the assuredt's mother that he “hed ageigned his
policy of life insurarnee in the Aetna Life ineurenee goxpany, of
2000, te her, gag Be woul’ keep She policy ond seelenment Sox
her;" that the ritness communicated thie te the mother and she ree
plied it wae very kind of her son. ‘The court sei@ (p. 295): *Thie
testimony, considered soot favorably to the appellee {the mother)
morely amounts to cayines that he made the aseignment, retained
possession of it, and sent word te his mether that he hed made it
and that he would ‘keep it for her.'” it wae held thie wae ineuf-
ficient te wake a vaild gift. The court continuing (p.997) quetea
fron the ease of Zadgley vy, Votrain, 64 111. 35, as follewa: "if
the trust is perfectly erated, #6 that the donor or settler has
nething more to de and the tersen seeking to erfoerce it has need ef

it wee witheut consiceration snd the oospeseion ef the property was

that they understeod he wished them te coliest inesuranee money for
the benefit of the aseured's daughter; that they bad agreed te de
eo. The controversy was whether the seoney went te the estate ar to
the aisters, The seurt held that the insurance money went to the
estate of the sesured and not te his sisters, and sadd (p. 217):
“We may regard it ae clearly estebilessed that it wee Willdans' ine
tentign that the petitioners should have thie ineurance, but if,
from mistake of law, he failed ta do these things waieh the law re}
quires to earry hie intention inte effset, mere proof of his intene
tion, however positive and cofivineing, sanhet change the title te
the property." The court there certinuing furtaer stated (p. 221);
"Her does the evidence showy that Wiliiems erested s troat or consti«
tuted Bimeelf the trustee of the petitioners, wid ao Held poeseesion
ef the policies for them, *** Vrom a nere imperfeet gilt a trust
cam not be deduced, (Badgley «. Vetrain, 65 111, 25.) Suepese the
policies head been endowment policies, payakle during the life of
Williame to Himself, Yould it be contended that wo suit sould have
been maintained against him by the setitioners, upon the evidence
in thie reeora, for the celicies, or the ereceeds sfter their cel-
leetien? And if net sagainet Sim, then why in this case againet his
adszinietratrix?
"The moat thet can be eaid, we think, is that Williams ine
tended to make a gift of the precescds of these noliciecs, or nerhape
the policies **# te the petitioners, and toek certain stene te age
ecmplish hie purpese, but left the matter incomplete, *
Of course Jonn &. Carlsen could have made a gift of the ine
guranee money to hic daughters by hie 2eelaration and set ond changed

The foregoing is substantially all the evidenee im the

be explained away by defendant's counsel’ « statement on page 44
of defendant's brief that “ever night and fellewing hig execution
of the s'ock aubseription agreement, Reivits may have repented of

If a man im plaintiff's cireunetanees needed GSC, or O1S3H,
April Gy 1930, he wust have known that he meeded it /pril 7, 1950.
Tf Sandler's testimony that plaintirr could heve resliszed the full

of these plesdinga. We de mot deem it neceusary to diveuse the
theory on which the court acted, or the prepriety or correctness
of his ruling, inasmuch en these decuments aprenr fully in the
record, have been carefully examined by we and have received eur
ceneiceration te the anme extent es if they hed been admitted in
evidence. :
Plaintiff contends that 211 of theae offered plendings,
excluded by the trial court, cantained admissiens by dofendant
that are competent end revelans te thie couse, and we, therefore,
eet forth in substenee the pertinent sliegeticna ef ene of them,
@s amended bill of complaint filec by Jeremiah ©. Meraw, ax his
wife, against “tut et 2l., in the Superior court, Jume eh, 1928,
as follows!
. Mainants represent that on July 1,» 1925, they
ewmneé certain Sisconsin property? that the defendants Gtut,
cvned the property known ac 4715 Raiden Street, -hicege;
thet Stut represented te orators thet the Halden Street
property waa worth in eseeus ef $210,000 and was leased by
a written lease to Peuchtwanger and “tephen iueszak at
yearly rental of $22,0003 that the tenants were finaneiaily
responsible; had paid their rent according to the lease fram
Movember 28, 1924, to September 1, 19453 that ne cenceasions
had been meade to said tenants, all of which representations
were falee and were known by “tut to be foiac, and were mace
for the purpose of inducing eratora te exchange their —
Videeonsin property and execute and deliver their note for
$4,000 for the Maiden ‘treet preperty: thet after the
' exchange craters Ciscovered that the lease aforeanid was made
; for the purpose of having the building ceceupied that 1% might
be wold; that the lessees were in exit building as agents of
. Stutg thet they had paid me rent under said lease from
| Rovember 28, 1924, to March 15, 19253 that from March 15,
i 1928, to September 1, 1925, they hed pais to Stut the net
income from said building, lees operating expenses; thet in-
atead of said property being worth $210,000, it wae worth not
to exceed $160,002"
The allegations of this amended bill are typical of the allegst ions
as to Stut's fraudulent representations to NeGraw, cantained im all
of the plendinge offered in evidenee, and we fail te discern what
pessible weight or foresee they add to the uncontradicted, undisputed
evidence of plaintiff alreadyin the record to practically the some
effect.

Tt io mot contended, nor even intimated, there waa any
intention on the pert of defendant to cither deceive er defraud
plainsiff.
Tymamuch ag plaintiff testified that the Valuation of
$209,000 placed upon the property by defendant wae merely his
opinion as to its velue, and that ne agrechen: was made by defendant
te give her anything representing her one gusrter interest in the
Property except the certificate for 125 shares ef eteek im the builde
ing corporation, «hich ahe accepted, it ig unnecessary to discuss
either of these matters.
Plaintiif's major contention is that defendant had not
thoreughly investigated the lease in question but relied aclely
upon Otut's representations te him, which subsequently proved te
be fxlee, and thet hig lack of knowleége of the frete, which he
stated to her, concerning the lease, established seienter in iti,
and therefore rendered him liable for damages resulting te her by
Teason of the tranenction.
Lefendant's theery is that there was properly me ground
Giselosed by the facts presented for an action of fraud smi deceit,
and that the baste elements vitel toc euch an action were not shown.
Plaintiff iuelate thet the various Pleadinge filed in
Other enuses by defendant, and offered in evidence wy her, show
“tint defendant relied eelely upon “tut's statements to Aim as to
the validity of the lease and the occupancy of the premises, and
. Cefendant wae not warranted in making the statements which
he made to plaintiff, based only on stut's statenente, but should
made a fuller and further investigation. Ib is ouffiecions
wer to atate that these plesd¢ings disecleve that falee otetee
ts were made to him by Stut and that he relied upon them, but

lease by his lawyer and himself, ani their inmveetigation of all
available sources of information.
To warrant an actiom for dceeit i¢ is umiveraslly held
that falee representations must have been knowingly mace with an
intent to deceive. It is conceded by plaintiff that the state-
mente made to her by defendant conesrnimg the lease were not made
with kmowledge of their fsleity, and were not made with any actual
intent to cheat or defraud her. However, 16 ia urged thet an
intent to deceive will be imputed to ome whe maken positive and
wequelified assertione, recklessly, withewt knowledge ef their
truth for the purpose of inducing another to «act on them. Te bring
this cause within this latter rule it would not only be necessary te
show that defendent felsely stated az true that of which he head no
mmowledges but it «ould be incumbent om plaintiff’ to chow further
thas he so represented the matters as to incuce in her mind a belief
he Was eptaking from actual knewledge of the uattere represented.
The evidence eleorly demonstrates thet wach wasn not the fact. He
acted throughout as an honest mam end wan himeelf muleied by the
@eecit of Stut, whe was guilty of the omly fraud diccernible on thig
record. tefendent explored every source of informetion available,
eecking the truth as te the Lease ami the condition of this property,
and we ore aatiefied thet plaintiff wae fully stvised thet his state-
; mente te her were based entirely om Hie investigntions
It ie true that plaintiff invested im this property at
éefendant'e selicitetion. I: is sleo true that statement« made
‘by defendant te her concerning the lease were false. That these
dtatements were fealee was not diacovered by either of them until
: shortly after the decl wee clewed: ‘That the frauulent eharacter
of the leases affected irjurtously the velue of the property le net

end he refused to sien the same}, the bill sufficiently shows
that complainant is entitled to the injunetional relief os prayede
In view of the entire allegations of the bill, we are of the
opinion that the contention and argument are lacking in sukstantial
merit, becaupe (1) it appears that Grigoleit remained in complain=
ant's employ as en officer for about a year and one-helf after
its entire ecspital steck had become the property of the Reynolds
Co.3 (2) sufficient facts, as distinguished from conclusions, are
not stated as to why he left complainant's employ; (3} the con+=
templated five-year term of his employment had neariy expired when
colpiainant's criginal bill was filed and the doctrine of lacheg
should here be applied; (4) and it appears affirmatively from the
28th paragraph of the bill that complainant is insolvent and it
does not sufficient appear that complainant was able to perform
ts pert cf an employment contract with Grigoleit.
Nor, in our opinion, can the bil) be maintained, or the
injunctional relief as prayed be granted, under the entire allegations
of the bill, on the theory that it is one to restrain unfair com=
petition by Grigoleit or the cefendant corporation, the Grigoleit
Company. It affirmatively appearing in said 28th paragreph of the
bill that complainant is insolvent and "is not now engaging in any
business except the holding of the aforesaid patents," it is difficult
to perceive how Grigoleit or the Grigoleit Coe ean be considered as
being engaged in unfair competition with complainants
Our conelusion is that the circuit court did not err
in entering the order or deeree in question, sustaining the general
demurrer to complainant's seeond amended bill and dismissing said
bill for want of equity. Accordingly the order or decree is affirmede

faid additional affidavits are contained in the bill of
exceptions, The salient allegations ef defendant's affidavit are
that “Zvelyn Cerny, the perch who it is alleged signed « registry
reeeipt for a letter addressed to thie cefendent by pleintifets
StiCrneys wee sever pt any $i time Big seoxetary wor employed by him
in any mennerg” that neither éuring January, 1932) Her at any
other times, was she in charge of defendant's office or working
therein; that defendant RéVer Feeeived or say said ela imed regige
tered letters and that he “never aS any time mode any admission
that he Bad used the language attributed to him in the devlaration.”
in Hruby's affidavit, while emitting that he appeared ag defendant "5
attorney “before the county court," he alieged that he “newer at any
time told plaintiff or amy ome else that the judguwnt in this ease
would be wettled and adjusted.” In Srowa's affidevit he clieged
that “sometime im the latter part of the yeor 1931," he was prenens
ai & conversation between plaintiff? and defendant im the city hall
at Berwyn; that he heard plointirr ony to defendant thet he (laine
tiff) "wes grateful to defendont for what defendant had done for hig
in commection with reinetating him (pleintiff) as Felice Hagistrate,
that he expected mot to run agein when his term expired, thet he
would help defendant gvin the office ef Police Hogiletrates, thet
Be_woulé not prosecute tho suit he had filed but would diomies tt,
that he would forget ali that had securred during the eompaign, and
‘hat Broucek (defendant) should do Likewise."
After a eareful considorstion ef the present reeerd ey
have reached the conclusion that the court erred in refusing on
April 7, 1933, te grant defendant's motion to set aside said 8% parte
judgment fer 35,000, entered agninat defendant on March lé,y 1934.

of the circuit court and of the proviclensa ef eection 1é ef

defendant (his former attorney having withérern «ce ouch in the

from notice by mail that aiid comse wowlé be placed upon the

amé@ the lock of it ecenulitutes an error of fact within the meaning
of section 39 of said former practice act. (See Risedorf ve Fyfe,

appears that cefendant, personally, did not receive by mail a motive
that said ecuse would be placed upom the trisl enlender. Further«
more, in our opinion, it sufficiently appesrs thet after defendant's
former attorney hac withdrewn from the ease, plaintiff’, by his atate-
mente ami representations te defendant that the slander suit would
net further be progseeuted But would be dimmiesed, caused defendant
to entertain a belief that he need not teke amy further stepa in
the cefense of the guite (See Shapmen vs American Life Inge Coe,

im view of the statements contained in the counter affidavit of
Plaintiff, erred im refusing ioc consider defendant's additional
affidavis ané the effidavite of Hraby and Brown.
The order of the cirewit court of April 7, 1933, refusing

The erounde upon which defendant «ske for reverasl of

The trisi ¢ourt in the ¢see st ber held 2s 9% proposition

tion, then the plaintiff did not then and there become on owner in

the fact that the triei court took thie question inte considerstion
in srriving st ite finding.
On the other hand i$ cannet be guid that the defendant

and sonteined no reference to the trust deed. Fisintiff held the doeu-

MA. GUSTION WILSON OGL. 1VENRG THE OFINLON OF THE coUuRT.
This ia «a writ ef ¢rrer te review = judgment of the
Municipel Gourt of Yhieage finding the defendant evilty of pandering
and imeesing a sentence in the house of serxreetion snd ¢ fine. A
jury was esived by the defendant and tee ssuse wae heard by the court.
The evidence ie not oreserved ond the aetters are oresented on the
comaon low reeerd,
I$ is insisted thet the information upon ehich the charge
was beged is insufficient in thet it fadis to allege the name of
the women from whom the money wo¢ obteined. fhe inforaetion is in
the language of the st=tute and ia brought by one Garsh Gell Bliss,
& prostkiute, from whom the money wos taken. “hile the nume of the
femele ia net set out in the information, it is ehereed thet the
money wes cart of the @urninge of Garsh Geli Slias, the inferment.
In our opinion the inforestion shows won ite faee thet the nsme ef
the female wie Garth “eli Gliese. It is insisted alao that the reeerd
fails to show that the defendant wou furnighed with « covy ef the
Anformetion prior to the trisl.
The Suprese Court of this etate in the onse of The Feonle
We Cleeya, 252 Tile 436, in ite opinion, says:
"The requirexent of the stetute thet ewery defend-
ent charged with » felony shall be furnishedy before his

KR. PRESIDING JUSTICR RATCHKTT
DELIVERED Ti OPTERION OF THE COURT,
Plaintiffs sued in an action ef contract for the purdhace
price as agreed of « speelally constructed gathering magiine manue
factured for defendant under the terme of a written contract dated
Jaly 31, 1928. In their statement of claim they set up the written
eontract verbatin, and averred that the machine was constructed in
conforsity with ite terme and wae delivered te defendant September
7, 1985, and aceected by it; that defendant used the machine fer
some months tut refused to pay for it as agreed,
The affidavit of merite admite the execution of the contract
and the delivery of the machine on Geptesber 7, 1926, (seven days
later than the time named in the contract), but alleges that the
machine was defective and failed to perform the werk for whieh it 7
was deeigned; that plaintiffs attempted to repair the same but were
unable to make it comply with the terme of the contract; that de-
fendant then tendered it back, but that piaintiffe refused te ace
gent it, whereupon defeniant stored it in a public warehouse and
notified plaintiffe of ite aetion. ‘The affidavit denied that any-
thing wae due,
There was a trial by jury and a werdict fer plaintiffs in
the sum of $2000 (the gontract price of the machine), upon which
the court, everruling motions fer a new trial and in arrest, entered
Sadgment, to reverse whieh defendant sued out this writ of errer.
Defendant argues that the verdict is contrary te the manifest

weight of the evidence; that the court erred in its ruling on the
aduiesion and rejection of evidense, in denying the motion of de-
fendant te declare a sistrial, im refusing to give inetructions
@ubmitted by defendant and in refueling te mark certain eritten
instructions submitted by defendant ae “given” or “refused,” as
Yeguired by seetion 74 af chap, 110 ef Cabill's Tll+ Kev. Siete, 1999.
As to thie lsat peint it is sufficient te ray that tke
record discloses that the court instructed the fury erally secerd-
ing to the oraeties ef the Hunicipsl court in thet resgest, and
that no objestion was made or exeeotion taken to the same ae
given nor request wade by defendant fer further oral instruetiens,
Further, an exacinatlon of the record indicates that the written
instructions wiich appear thorein vere never in fact presented te
the trial judge at all. There wae a request in writing at the
close of all the evidenee for an instructed verdict fer defendant,
whieh was denied, Apparentiy neither the court ner spvesing
eounsel was ever given the oopertuniiy te see the sileged written
inetruetions tendered, Such being the state of the reeerd, the
Point is wholly witheut merit.
The peint urged aa to the dtnisai of the motion for the
withdrawal of a juror and for a deciaration ef a mistrial is sise
witheut merit, The ground for the motion was an answer meade by
witness Jenn Condon, a former empleyee of defendant, whe had
charge of the machine during the time it wae used by defendant.
Condon's evidence sheuld have been preduced as a part of plain-
tiffe’ original case, but the court in the exereise of ite dis-
eretion permitted his to testify in rebuttal. His testineny was
very favorable to plaintiffs, and he was subjected to a severe
exrose exemination, in the course of which soungel ror defendant
guestioned him as follews:

Ben Hithelz was the secretary of defendant, ond the anewer was an
accusation that he tad tried to bribe tne witness. Defendant made
a motion to strike out the anewer, and the court erdered that the
last part of it should be etricken as mot respensive., Defendant
then made its motion to vltairay a juror and to declare a mistrial,
which was denied. As & watter of Tast, upon re-examination the
witnees Cendon, without objection by defendant, teztified in detail
to an interview with Rithele, in which KRithols offored witness
money for faverable testimeny and suggeztsd that he might go out of
town te avoid testifying. Defendant cress-exacined Condon as to
thia conversation, and Benjasin Hithelaz in surrebuttal testifbed,
denying that any such conversation took plaee. Prebably the
testisony had much influsnee upon tie verdict of the jury, but the
conversation was material and relevant, and it was for the jury to
pass upon the facts.
Pisintiffes offered evidence tending te shew that «et the
time the machine wae delivered te defendant a one-half horse-pewer
moter was attached therete; that the power furnished by this motot
was ineulficient and wae the cause of the failure of the machine te
do the work as previded by the contract; that plaintiffs thereupon
purchased and delivered a three horse-power motor with a speed ree
ducer, ani that when this waa attached the maguine functioned
properly. it is urged that this evidense wae inadwiseible upon
the theery that 1% waried the terme of the written esontract. The
eontract said nothing whatever about what kind of moter sheuld be
atteched to the machine, aud the transaction with reference to the
substitution of motors ocourred Leng after the execution of the
contract and after the aachiine was delivered. The admission of
this evidence 414 met viclate the rule againet receiving parol
evidense to vary the terme of the written eontract, since the
transaction was not prier te or gontenporaneous with the making

The contrelliing question in the onae is raised by the dete
fendent's firet point (wiien we consider last), namely, that the

evidence, Many ensee ars cited in the brief te the effeet that

evidence shewe that thie gechine was conatructed aceording te the

used by 1t for aoue comeiderabie time. ‘the torme of the contract
ealied for a “postal card gathering waviine to coneieat of five

Benjamin hithelz, e@ecretary ef defeniant corveration and

Backetrom. vefeniant produced many witnesses, for the sest part
ite own saployees, “ho tezgititied to facts tending te shew that the
machine did net *uiriai the veguirements ubove stated, The tes-
timony of ¥. Baskatrom, whe had charge of the matter fer plain-
tiffs, was to the effect, a5 already stated, that when the msehine
wae Tiret delivered a one-huil serse-gewer motor waa aiteoahed
weich sik /attisient, aud that wneu the thres heree-power whick he
gupriied was attached ith a speed reducer the machine worked in
euch a way as te ecompls vith all the requirenente of the sontract,
He testifies in evukstance that the machine wae declared te be
aatisfactory; that he was promised payagent by Rithels, and that
it wae only after frequent requests fer the purehase priee, and as
late ae February of the following year, that the defense was
raise’ which was interpoved at the trial. Jie is correborated by
the testimony of John Condon, at the time ef the trial empleyed
ae manager ef the multigraph devarteent of Sears, Roehuek & Game
pany, and whe had werked for defendant from Gepteaher 20, 1926, te
Boveuber 15, 1924, hen he left ite expleyuent.
Condom says that when the meciine wae delivered he was put
in charge of it by Ben Kithela; that when the ewiteh was turned on
the machine would net run; thai 14 was impossible to run it with
the moter that was hooked up with it; that they (Backetrom, Yilliam
Deckert and the witness) dismantled the macsine te see whether
there was anything wreng with the meter, or whether any scart wae
binding; that they found thet the parte moved frecly and decided to
put a three horse-pover moter on the machine; that this was done and
& *peed reducer put om; tat the maghine ran and that the result
of the teste wae omtirely satisfeetery; that the machine was run
approezinately two monthe until the work of the season was Soup] eted.

William Deckert (who at the tine ef the trial wee in buele
neaes for himeelf but whe in Sentember, 1924, was eupleyed hy de-
fendant and had werked for it or for véeracne aasociated with it
for nearly eight years) testified that im the fall of 1928 he was
ferewan ef defendant snd took care of Gli the ganufacturing machinery
and mechanical werk, and that witha @ Litthe hein from Conden he made
the model which wae furnished b) defendant aid by which the machine
was constructed, He corroborated ¥, Hecketrom with reference te the
substitution of a three borte-porer apter for the ont-half horse-
power motor, and eald that the use of the one-half horee-power
meter ae a mistake; that «hen he found the one-half herree-porer
moter would not work he called backatrom on the ‘ohene and that
Hacketrom cane to defendant's olace and put on the aa. P. motor with
a ageed reducer, after whick the machine ran and wart operated, he
thougit, about Five days after delivery. He alse said that the uotor
was tesporarily cennseted with an cla wire lying there so that it
was net povsible te get out the ao HR. P. Roy thet the eleetrie Line
wae overiouded and could not give the power needed; toast when gurrie
eient power wae furnished the machine would wake trem $80 io 82 reve-
lutions per ainute. i@ enw Condos rum the mnenine Per about two
monthe, and he neticed Sovak yunning the maghine after Cendan Left.
On the other hand, Frank Deckert, who Agseribea hiws¢if a8 @
teolmaker, and Wovak testify that there were a1] kinds of trouble
with the machine. Ne says, *“Sonetines it was vorking; sometimes
they got eards out of there, tometimee they dif net get any at all.
Semnetiner @ half a dozen in one. i knew that the machine wae sup
posed to knock out thirty earde at one time, it 414 not knock out
thirty eards, not all the time.” His testimony a to the precise
time, waieh wae important, was quite indefinite.

testified that the carde never cang/right fros the machine; reme-
times there would be thirteen carda to a set, sometinea thirty,
sonetiner forty, ond sometimes they would alli ecue and buneh up on
the belt so they eould net be used; thut ehe repertied te hovak that
the machine wea out of order but they 414 not wey any attention
to wheat Bovak did about it. Gre eays they worked on the machine
and it would mot go; that they had te hire 75 girle toe do tne work
by hand, and that the machine wae allowed to stand idle. She had
taiked the case over «ith Nithels, snd she said Ae teld her that

summed up by asying thet several witnesses wuat have testified cither
falsely or without knowledge. Delendunt argues that the preponder

auniber of witnesses, Ye have, however, often etated that this
court does net count evidence but weighe 1t. Ae 2 matter of feet,
Cendon and William Deckert were two withessen whe were apparently
finaneially disinterestéd «id whe had complete knowledge of what
trangpired., If the testimony of Hithels ie true (lawyer se he was)
it seene highly prebsable that upem rejecting the machine in

that could have left no doubt of the fact, The eviderice here tends

Shortly eftor the death of Jay Fieming Jones, presidert ef The
Lomax Co., J. A. Lomax organized a eampariy known ag Drinke, Ine.,
and used the office formerly eceuvied by Jone in sommection with
it. By reason of this organization business was diverted from
the Lemax Co. of Delaware ta thet ef Drinks, Ine. Drinke, Ine,
continued to use the premises of the Delaware cowpany far the
conduet of businass and the directors of that eempany inetrueted
J. A. Lowax to resove Drinks, ine., from the pramiaeg, Decanter

evidence indicates that these transactions were had at a time when
the principal defendant was the manager sid in eonircl ef the
plaintiff corporaticn, and he and the defendants who have aeted
with him are hardly in 2 position to set it up. Further, the sale
of these articles is not shown to save been directly eenneeted vith
the subject matter ef this Litigation,
Upon the controlling issue in tiie ease, namely, that of
the fraudulent intention amd conduct of these adstendanta, the
proof in the record eustaines the findisg of the esurt.
The only serious doubt we entertain upon thie record con-
e@rns whether the a@eeres should aave granted to counlasinante the
relief te which they rere entitled witheut making the injunetion
against the use of their own name absolute. Upon reiéearing a
majority of the ecurt - the writer mot concurring « hold that the
deeree should be medified so as te allow the defendants to engage
in the beverage businese, either as individuals, a scorseration, or
ag 4 partnership, to ewploy avy and ail servante necessary to cen-
duct the business, and te do any and all acte incidental to tae
conduct ef the business go lesg as their labels, advertizing and
other printed matter affirmativeiy indicate te prospective customers
that their ereducte are set manufactured or seld by cowmslainants

teld her to sign ineured's name on tae revival application. The
ineured died September 29th foliewing the operation.

of death with a dr. Warrington, an agent for defendant in Chicage;

There have bee many gasee touciing waiver by an agert of
an ineurance company, but moat of them laivolve the question ef the

In the present esse we aave a policy, admbttediy lapsed,
whieh there is an attexpt te revive. Ey the terme ef the policy
the revival say be accomplished upon the presentation of satiaface«
tory evidence te the company of the ineurability of the inwured;
the receipt given for the arrears ef premiums expreasiy states that
this te e tenter and the eccupany ascumes no obligationa under the
policy until the epplication for revival has been approved by the
company; the revival apolicatios is upon the esnditien that the
ineured has not been sick, affiieted with any disease or treated
by any physician since the solicy was issued. But it is argued tha t
Davis, the agent ef defendant, and tue defendant, by reeeiving and
retaining the presmiume for a iine, waived compliance with these
conditicnes, Among the many cases touching the subject of vaiver,
under similar circametances, one of the test statements is Pound
in the onee of Ferrero v. knisits of Security, 209 [11. 476, where
the court said:
“A waiver is the intestienal relinquisehment ef = known right, and

told Davis enly that “Hrs, Sevten is siek in bed.” This ie far
from tuparting to Davie oll tke facts ae toe the condition ef the
ineured, It is inconetiveble that if intend, Gabe that the ine
sured was in facet on her death bed that the request for revival of
the polley would have been approved. According to this reeord,

The inatraetions iven the jury were very misleading. Une

Davie had power to waive conditiona in the policy. Wurther, that

S7O44 BR, PREGLIDING JUSTICH BATCHETT DISSENT Ing,
This cause wae cenaglidated in this ceurt with Bo. 37045,
and I agree with the suggestion of the eajority epinien that if
agein tried the same should be conselidated in the trial sourt.
The parties, the lesues and the material evidence in beth cases
are in substance the same, i do uel agret with the majority of
the court that the werdicts of the twe Juries vho sat in these
cases are manifestly against the evidence, but 1 do not reet my
aiseent upen that point selene.
Theee eaees were of the fourth clase in the Bunieipal
court where pleadings ere set required, and eseh gape is whatever
the evidence makes 1t. Sdeerton v. C.F, 2. & ?. Ry. 0
Till. 321; Bruner vy. Grand Tramk Sestern Ry, So., 319 Til. 421,
Assuming, a8 the opinion ef the court seeme te indicate, that
Riehard Newton and kre, KRoas perpetrated a fraud en the insurance
company through Mre. Koes posing and repreesemting herself te be
in fact Josephine Newton, I think the fury under the evidence
eould reasonably find that the forfelture of each of the policies
was thereafter waived. Davie teatifice that he reperted the facte
ag to the traneaction of Septeaber ROth in writing te defendant
company at ite office in Telede en the day after ite sceurrence,
hamely, September 21, 1930. Defendant then muet be Keld te have
known from that date thet Joaeshine kewton was in the hoepital at
Teledo, Ohio, and that up te the time she died she could have
been reached there. The «evidence alao showe thet its agent knew
the home adiress of her family in that city. Se far ae this record
discloses the first resudiation of the transaetion was 37 days
thereafter, There ie not a scintilla of evidence in the reeerd
that defendant during all that time tesk any atepa vhatever te
return the premium en these policies which ite agent nad accenoted,

In theese days when information is apeedily transmitted by madl and
telegraph and telerhone, I think the jury could reaeonably find
that the delay wae unteasonable,
» 200 Thi. 359,
it was held that the acceptance of preefe ef death after full
knowledge szewed an Intention en the part ef defendant te waive
the alleged ferfelture, hat waiver may be based upen Laferwatien
gives te an agent autheriszed to solicit buginess wae held in a
sult based on a fire insurance contract in Phenix Fire ins, Us.
NN. Grove, #215 111. S09. ‘che same rule wae aain ansiied to a
Life insurance policy by toe third division ef thie court in Agam
be,, 213 11). App. 54, in an opinion
delivered by #r., dustice O'Cennor, Yaese canes in my apinion exe
preee the law apolicatle (sot alone to ineuraice policies bat te
all eomtracts) that « defendant whe wishes te dileevew a traneac-
tion on the ground of fraud must aot vith the uteest preaptners.
There is a wealth ef authority to that effeet walieh I deem it une
neceasary te review at length. The controlling question, aa =
see it, is one of waiver, ond not whether the contract was reine
atated in sonfermity with (ite own provielons. There is ne doubt
that Davie wae the sgent of the defendant company, and if there
were any dcubt in that respeot it ia made immaterial by bie
uncontradicted evidence that the Toledo eifice of the defendant
company was fully informed of the whole tranesetion on Gepteaber
fist.
The prevailing opinion make#e much of alleged errere in the
inetructione, An examination dincleses, however, that the eourt
instructed the jury orally and that there was no speeifie objection

eases there is a general objection wiich under that praectiee ia
wholly inauffielent., Rule 6 of the Kumicipsi court, of whien we
take judicial notice, requires that ebiectioans to inetructiona suet
be meade specific. The brief of defendent dasere not point eut any
perticuler ineatraction which is said te be erronesus, Yhis ie
supplied by the opinion ef the court which plaintiff has mot psd
the envertunity te see or disease, and we are therefore without
the benefit of his observations thereon. At any rate, the ageney
of Davie wae more extensive than that of the agent whese authority
was questioned in Germania Life ins, Co. v, Boehier, 165 111. 2938,
where the defeniant esmoany wae held liabie. As I understand it,
a forfeiture is rightly odieus and should never be favored by
the courte, Umited States Life ins. Co, v. Rees, 159 Lil. 476.

said at that meeting concerning the condition of Mre, Rewton's
health, thus direcstiy centradicting pleintiff's testimeny in this
respect.
Mre. Davie, wife of Viliiam Davis, sho was present at the
interview the evening of September 80th, testified that when kre,
Reas came in she introduced plaintiff, er. Kewton, to Br. Davis as
her husband; the witness Heard So cenvereation to the effet that
ira. Kewton was aick in the hespitel; she eaid tuat tae parties
were present in their \ome about ten or ifteen minutes,
Plaintiff testified that Josephine Lewton died in Telede,
Ohio, September 29, 1930; that about October 3rd be surrendered
the policy sith preef ef death, and the receipt, to kr. Harrington,
defendant's agent in Chicaze, who tel4d plainti?Y’ that in eboat twe
weeks he, Harrington, «ould notify him; slaintiff called again at
Harrington's office Setober 24th and was told that the company re~
fused to pay wren the policy, and the revival premium galid was
tendered to plaintiff, whe refused it.
fhie record ie barren of any preef as to what caused the
death of Ere. Revton. The witnesses and the attorneys refer te
the proofs of death whieh were introduced in evidenee in the other
ease, ko. 37044, but no proof of death or ¢laivant's statenent is
in the present record,
Reduced te ite simplest eleucits, ani cemeidering enly the
evidence in the present record, we Rave & Cage where, through
fraud and misresresentation, an agent of the defendant was induced
to accept premiums te revive a lapsed poliey while the insured ras
in a hospital and died shertly thereafter,
fhe express prevision ef the selicy was, that the agent had
no suthority te reinstate a lapsed poliey and that any payment wade
to an agent should be at the sole risk ef tne person making the

66, a misreorésentation wae defined as « statesent of something as a
fact whiech ia untrue and material te the risa, the persen waking the
statement knowing it to be untrue, in ai sttepet te deceive. This
is applicable to the present onse,
Plaintiff argues tiat defendunt, by net acting premptly
after Davis paid in the money received by him ta the Telede affice
and reported the conditions, «sived the conditiens fer revival named
in the policy. nme sanewer te thie is the fact that the address of
Plaintiff wae unknown to the Telede offier and that attempts te
aseertain it failed, ke elaim on tne poiiey wae made through the
isauing office at Toledo, but was made threugh a Chicage office
which knew nothing about the tranesction. Shen the claim reached
ew York from Chicago it is reasonable te ansume that the New York
office would weuke an investigation a9 io the facts through the
Toledo office. Under such circumstances we cannot concede that eo
great a period of time elapsed between the date plaintiff filed his
@laim and the date when he was inforeed that the eoupany refused te

On the evening of September 20th Davis gave « receipt for
the revival of the poliey involved in ease io. 37044, and alee o

decusente are in the present reeord, The court inetrueted the jury

The inatructions were galculatsd te mislead the jury in
implying that Devie wus a general agent, having autherity te waive

ferred the same to the defendsnt company, whe retained the enne;
that if the jury should «6 find, then “as a emitter of Low it sheuld

For the reasons that the verdict is againot the sanifeet
Weight of the evidence, tint the verdict sheuld have been for the

Gladys Oper, a2 nie adminietrstrix. August 11, 1953, eouslainante

Was pwllewed, the bill dismissed and tnis appeal followed.
The procedure follewed in thie case, of disuiseing sam-
Plainents' seeond amended bili after issue wae joined by defendants'
anewver and plaintiff's reslication therete, is anomalous and is not
to be apvreved.
Defendants contend that thelr eral moetion to dismise the

effect a demurrer ore tempus. Sut tne inw is that a demurrer org
Senus will not be aliewed unlees thers is a demurrer en record.

them; thet through the #rong?ful saete of the defendants a number of
theaters «hich eaploeyed union men were wrongfully glossed, and in
making this wrongful contest against the theater oxners defendants
apent apvroximately $206,000 of the union's money; that defendants
had falsely charged compisinantes and other meabers of the union
with vielating certain sdctions of the conetitation and by-laws,
and there was a purported hearing witneut notice te the agcused;
that the charges made were baseless; that ot the Bearing certain
menbers of the union were denied orepar representation; denied the

election properly held; that the oretended Judgment and finer
isaued ageinst the complainants ond ether mexbere of the unien be
vacated and held for naught, that complainantea be restored te full
memberehip im the unions, and that om aocounting be had,
Defendants contend that the deerwe sheuld be affirmed te-
cause there is no aliegation that complainants had been exealled
from menbersiiip in the lecal union, amd that there is no allegation
that comvlainanta were put en trial fer any offenses resulting in
thelr expuleien, but that the thaory of compiainante, and their
coungel's argument, is that eompiainante hove bean expelled Trem
the loeal union and that the primary ebject of the bili te ts ree
astere then to menberaghip. <A further contention of the defendantea
is that a court of equity is without Jurisdiction te restore a
person te a membership in « local unien,
Whether mlilegations of the bill sre auffictlent te shew
that sompisinante and other mevhers vere wrongfully exvelied from
the union, they sre, we think, sufficient te shov that complainants
and other marbers were excluded from the benefits of the union.
They were unable to obtsin employment because of the sets of the
officers of the anion; mary lliegsl permits, it ia charged, were
deeued so that there were not places encug: to go around; charges
are made of acts of defendants in intimidating comeiainente and
other members so that Tair elections sould not be held, and further,
that the moneys belonging to the union were wrongfully expended,
Ve think these allegationa are gafficient te warrant the
interposition of a eourt of equity. Hut counsel fer defendants say
that there le no sliegation that complainants Bave exhausted their
remedy within the Local or international union, amd that it is
elementary one cannot go into eauity until he has exhausted hia
rights within the union. Ye think it sufYicientiy apyeare from
the allegations that an appeal would have been futile, i+ is

alleged that defendants ware Aeiied the right of appealing, end
while the allegations are not specific, we tiink they wre sufficient
te warrant a court of equity in inquiring inte the merite ef the
matter, Yrom the allegstion# of the bili we think any attempt to
appeal would have been unavailing. Ve therefore bold that the
second amanded bill of sgompiaint stated a ewusne for euultable
relief, and the decree of the Superior eourt of Cook coumty ie
reversed and the cause remanded fcr trial.

cured by the sertcage would fall due august 15, 1952, ond request.
ing Xarne te aseiet defendant in obtelsing a extension ef tae time

te endenver to fave the time eatended for the payagnt of the bal-
ance due under the werigage. The evidence further shews that is
Taly, 1951, #hem the defendant, Puskean, was negotiating for the
Purchase of the property from Aarne he had o prospective gurehaser,
Selma Siein, and that about Auguet lst, i931, when he wrete the
Letter adiréesed to Aarne abeve mentioned, he fan net eertain
whether the proposed asle by \im of tne property in suestion te
Stein would be eongnusated, and he thereupon wrote the Letter ree
queeting thet the time of payment of the balenee due be eatended.
Baile the deed from Pusamas te Jtein la dated July 23, 1932, it
was not recorded untili auguet 106, 1933, amd there is evidenae te
the effect that 1% vas net delivered untll the laet mentioned date.
There ia other evidence to the offeet tuat after the property was
conveyed to Selma Stein abe sequred an agreewent fron slaintirr,
the owner of the sete, and from Harne, one of the makers of the
nete, thareby the time of paynent was extended siz months. There
was mo written agreement preparnd but it is ageumed by tveryone,
and the testimony shows, ihat the time ef payment wae se extended.
Tae defendant contends that the lean, when it gas made in
1926, the time of the execution of the notes and trust deed, was
tainted with uweury begause the evidence shows pisintif? was paid
16 per cent commission, snd defeidentogays that the lean was ultra
wires siainiiff eoergeration. There is ne merit in these sontene
tiens because the evidence shows that after the exeqution of the
note and truet deed the eroperty waa conveyed subject te the morte
gage which the grantees seaune¢ and agxeed te pay. In theae circum
etances the question of usury is eut of the omee, and the question
of ultye vires wae net in the caee begsuse such a question was net
interposed as a defense, and the denial ef defendant's request, mode
Hear the close of the case, Ter leave te sleed augh defense, was

reneous because the firet claim was mot riled wntild Apréi 8, 1931.
But the discrepancy is net Llpertant and we base our opinion on the
facts as they seem to Auve been agreed on by counsel, amd that they
are that the firet claim was fer ¢430 based upon dental werk done
for tevoworn personally, the tteus of whieh are entirely 4\cferent
from the items mentioned im the secema elaim, whieh is for 6486 fer

ant then, by leave of court and over ebjestion of counael for the

What we have said 4iseoses of the ep tentien that the court
erred in refusing an inetruction offered by the estete,
A further contention is made by the estate that the court
erred in permitting Dr. Corsant, a dentist, to give expert tastinony
ae te the value of the dental work 4one by plaintiff on the ground
that the witness was net qualified, the wiltnees testified that he
Ware & licensed dentiet im this State and hed practiced Kie professian
generally from 1902 to 1914, sinee whie: time he hed specialized on
investigations, He further testified that he was fanilier with the
usual, custemary charge in Uhieago for work ef the kind performed
by Plaintit£’; and further, that he had examined Ford's mouth and
teeth before the work was dome; thal he saw glaintiff perferm creme
ef the work and had examined ford's teeth after the work was completed.
in these circumetances, we think the objection was properly everruled.

and other cases. in the Michigan Central §, 5. ease, & passenger
om a Pailread teok his trunk, whieh centained jewelry of the value
of $30,000,to the station. Se gave the railread ne notice of the
eontents but cheeked the trunk as baggage. The trumk end ite eontente
were destroyed by fire while being traneserted snd it waz held that
the railroad company wae not liable, it net having been shewn that
it wae guilty of grees neglicence in respeet te the erixin ef the
fire. Ubvieusly that case ie not im point. ‘here was nothing te
indicates that there wae fewelry valued at $30,000 or at any other
eum in the trumk, while in the instant case Lt is commen practice
for rebea to be in sutemoeblies, This ia ehown by the fuet that dew
fendent'« night canager testified, a8 abeve quoted, thet it was his
duty te exanine beth the inside and outeide of all care delivered ts
the garage and that he did ee in the inetant case. Yhe other oasee
cited by the defendant are tc the same effeet and ebviously are not
in saint.
Pefendant alec scentends that the damages “are groesly exe
essaive;* that there is mot a acint\ lla ef avidenee in the reeerd
aes to the value of the rebe; that claintiff's mether, on being agked
ma te the value of the rebe, was not vermitted to anewer, on 4efande
ant's ebjection.
The court 414 @rroneeusly sustain objections tq questions
put te plaintiff's mether as te the value ef the robe, but she did
testify, without obgection, end vroverly so, thet she paid 2262
for it a little more than a month before the wehbe was lost. Ye
have a number of timer held that im ordinary business transactions
the price paid for an article is evidence of ite value, there being
no evidenee which easts suspicion on the transmetion. Cloyes we.

The amended affidavit of merits further averred that he
firet obtained knowledge of thie assumption clause in the deed in
Geteber, 1952, wid thereupon he wae and et11i ie ready, willing and
able to rescind the deal for the purchase of the equity but that
Blisabeth *. Uni ia unable te return any consideration paid by him
for the conveyance te him and hie wife,
The affidavit eet uo the further defense that the notes ne
longer evidenoe any existing indeetednesa, because plaintiff brought
euit on these notes against Midgabeth ¥. Uhl and judcmont was ene
tered in faver eof plaintiff sgainet her wpen said notes and the
netes have been merged in the Judgment; that defendani did net knew
whether plaintiff was still the ewner sf the fudement.
The cause wae tried by a fury with results ae heretofore
stated. Defendant cettends in the firet claee teat when a Judgoent
hae been taken om a prosiiseory nete, the note bevcmes merged inte
the judgment; that it le no longer evidence of indebtednesea, and
thereatter no guilt at law can tbe maintsined on such note. He
cites authority sueh as Bart v. Seyomur, 147 Til. 890; Jogeiyn v.
Shite, 261 11. 16; Sears v. Kiehela, 175 tli, apo. 440; Kelley v.
Mopks, 264 111. App. 408,
he general rule of law for which defendant contends is net
to be contreverted, hen a note is put in juduament, the note La,
of course, merged in the judgment. However, here, plaintiff's
suit is net breught om the netes., The suit isa breucht upon the al-
lage’ promise ef defendant to aseume ond pay the encumbrances «hich
existed sgainst the preperty at the time he reesived his deed and
which are deseribed im the deed, Toe mere Pact that a judgment has
been antered upon notes docu net render them inecempetent evidence
for the purposes of proving any material facet. That was the purpose
for which we assume they were admitted here. Such notes, although
merged in a judgment, reusin competent ae items of evidence se far

chase heney, the premises purchased were in nie hands a primary

conveyance stated that the tlile was canveyed subjest to the ene
eumbrances, The deed there, unlike thie ene, however, 414 net con-
tain any elause whieh aeoumed and agresd te pay.
Defendant aleo cites Siegel vy. Herland, 161 111. 107, where
there had likewise teen an exchange of property and several eubse-
quent grantees, The eeurt said, siting autheri ties:
"Je sustain the deersa, the acts proved must smount te an
agreement to pay the $28,060 upon the debt secured by the trust
deed. It is true that « eentrast say be implied, snd that if the
amount of an encumbrance is included in and forme a part ef the
consideration which a grantee promises to pay for premises, and ne
retains that sart of the purchase price, the Law will create a pere
sonal ilability sagainet hin, ¢n the ground that he hae agreed te
pay such indettedneas, In sueh a ease the Law eregumes that the
grantee has agres’ te apply the money so retained fer the purpese
ef paying the encumbrance, “Gither there must be an exoress age
suaption of the indebtedness, or the amount suet be ellewed in the
purchase price mo thet the law will imply the promise, *
the defendants there were not held liable, the epinien pointing out
that “neither in the contrast ser im the deed, sor in the subse-
waomt deed te the Silegels, wae there any aewumption whatever af the
debt seeured by the trust deed or ony syreement te pay it er any
part of it.*
Eay v. hobdell, 213 i11. 369, is sited by defendant, bat
that ie @ case where the title ta the property conveyed was taken
in truet for eertain orediiers at an agreed price and the party
taking title was hel4 not lisble under the ecireumetonces, The
court said:
“The rule te be deduced fron the autherities ia, if the
vendee of land enewabered by mortgage or trust deed purchases only
the vendor's equity of redemption, he is net pereonally liabie te
pay the encumbrance resting upon the land unless he expressly an-
gumed and agreed te pay the same, if, however, he purchases Land
Tor ite full value and retains in his hends, out of the considera.
tien, a sufficient aus to satisly the encumbrance, he may be held
personally liable for the payment thereef, even theugh he has net
expressly agreed to pay tue eneuwsbrunee reating upem the Land, *
the deed in thin case did not contain any agreement that the grantees
should assume the enowsabrances,

whether a defenaant who had defaulted could be held liable ucon a
foreclosure for a aeficiency decree. The court held sgeainst the
eontention of the defeniant that the statute of frauds was not
apolicable, but as the bi}2 41d not allege that the defendant had
signed or sealed his deed, or that tie deed was delivered to nis
and he had aceepted it, he wae held not Llisble. That ease alse
held that the mere recording of the deed did mot constitute an
acceptance under the clreunetances thore spo¢aring, although three
of the fudgee dissented, Similar in effect was Kreidjer v, Myde,
120 Lil. App. $05, whieh defendant aise cites,
Bpler, 196 113. App. 615, the defendent was
held not liable where it appeared thet the eleuse was fraudulently
placed in the deed by the sgent of the plaintiff. The defendant
was alao Held net liable in Ber
t, 211 Tir. 263,
where the purperted deed which contained the afeusption clause wae
in fact net an absolute deed bul a morteage and hed newer been in
fact delivered.
Wilson v. Mundy, 232 111. App. 575, ie another case where
the defendant wae held mot liable on « defieieney deeres by the
Appellate court for the Second district in an epinien which reviewe
many of the cases on thie subject, it wan undisputed there, however,
that the question of whether the defendant shewld assume was dige
cussed, and that the defendant had stated distinetly that he would
net enter inte sny contract by wuieh Me would a¢sume the mortgages.
There wae aleo evidence tending to show that the clause was inserted
surreptitiously and @witheut the defendant's knewledge. Moreover,
it there appeared that the defendant hat never reeognized the ine
debtedness by making amy paymente on it.
The eum and substarice of all the cases seems to be that
where it appears that the transaction ie in every reepect free from
fraud or mistake, wi4 ehere it further appears that the purehare

price of the oreperty is definitely agreed upon and upem the comphe-
tion 4f the transaction the oneumbrance ig treated by the parties as
a part of the consideration smd the grantee secepts a deed eentain-
ing a specific agreexent te pay the *hcumbraices and thereafter
reecsguizes the ebligation by making paymerte thereon, he will be
held liable upon the theery that Ke Bas assumed and agreed te poy.
in i am ¥, Pingkerd, 304 Til, 449, the defendant had been
held lishle by the trial court fer a deficieney decree, and the
Supreme court sald thet the only question involved in the esee was
whether or net the sesenting ef title te the pregerty ana taking
the benefit of the rente arising therefrem, together Fith payment
ef $1000 on the mortgage, smounted to en acceptance or ratification
ef the clause in the dee4 reciting tast the tonveyance wae mamde sube
geet to sil encusbrances of record, Waich the grantee assumed and
agreed to pay. The court then went on to say thet such agreement
must be based on oufficlent comaiteration, and that sometuing mere
than the mere insertion of the glauce that the grantee assumed wae
neceewary. The court sai4 that wiless it be sheen that the grantee
in s deed has some reagon te surpese that the deed te hin contained
& personal contract om Hie part to pay = Rortvage or other lien on
the property traneferred, wid that he ecsented tierets, he cannot
be held, at a matter of law, to have aseuned such obligation, and
*Apolying the above rules to the ease <t bar, we come te
the question whether or sot there ie in the record evidence shoving
m delivery and acceptance «f the decd containing the aseumption
Glaus¢ and asesnt therete. Sefendant in errer offered no evidences,
and, a8 we have esen, the plaintiff in errer's evidenee shows that
the 4efendast in error nad nothing to 4¢ with the tranefer of the
property to her. There ie ne direet evyidenee showing that ehe knew
anything about the ansunuption clause in the deed te her, the took
title to the property, horever, received the rents therefrom and
paid taxes theresn, and while she, under the rues herein referred

shows that by letter she sent a payment of $1000 en this mortgage.

does not anpear that the money came rem tae reuts of the property
or from any other seuree axeept the personal funde of defendant in
error. She contends, hewevar, - and im tale she in supported by
the Appellate court, - that this is merely an evidence of a desire
on her part to free the property of the lien and not ewidenee ef
agveptance on her part of the agsumptien clause of the deed. 41th
this we eannet agree. In the absence ef any proof Limiting the
effect of suck paynent, we are of the opinion that it must be taken
ae an set of assent on her part to the assuaptien clause ef the
quiteclaim deed te her. ‘his payment undoubtedly establishes actual
knowledge on Aer part of the existence of thia mortgage, It alee
negatives any repadiaticn of the angumstien clause in the deed and
eonstitutee evidence of gondact om har eart denuting on aceeptance
of such clause,"
Applying theee rulcs to the Peete of thig case it appears
from the uncuntryadieted proses that tae purchase price of this
property wag $16,080; tint the enewabrancee on the property were
eredited to defendant as a part of the esmeaideration fer the anus;
that he tesk « deed after it was reeerded ond tuek nosteesion of
the premises and for several years continued to make payments upen
these snoumbrancea, Sin conduct speaks such Louder than any words
end shees conclusively the acceptance by him ef tas dard with knowk

The statement wae stricken on setion of defendant, ond May 19, 1933,

from time to time, and on July 14th, in the absence of defendant
oY anyone revresesting sim, the esase was ivied before the sourt,
There was a finding fer plaintiff in the eum ef 9709.25, and Judge
ment entered therefor,
dAuguet 19th thereafter defendant saved te vacate tae
Judgment, and Aauguat aiet defendant by Leave filed hie patition
with certain affidavits in support of his motion. Plaintiff aade
& motion te reassign the case to Judge Lyle, who entered the fudze
ment, and hie motion was detiied av wae also » petition for a
change ef venue from Chief Justice Soneteby, whieh wae Plled later.
The Bearing on the motion was continued from time to time. Plaine
tiff made o motion te strike the petition, whieh was denied. the
mammer of the hearing was anomeious, in that while censidering the
motion to eatrike, the court st the requcet of plaintifY aise heard
oral evidence, At the consiusion of the Hearing he entered an order
vaesting the judgment and eetting the cause fer trial. From that
erder plaintiff preoseeutes thie «wepeal.
While the hearing snd precmedings are in some resseete une
usual (fer whieh plaintiff was largely responeible), we think the
sontreliing facta are not doubtful. Oefendant bad Tiled an affida-
wit of merite, which if true wae « complete defense to plaintiff's
Glaim, fhe enuse had bean get for trial, and defendant's attorney
hed appeared from time to time indicating ap intention te defend
againet the claim. Une continuance, at least, was made at the ree
quest of plaintiff, The cause Sod been set for trial in reom @02
before Judge Lyle July 14, 19335, weies was Friday. friday and
Saturday were the closing daya ef court preceding the summer recess
fer cases in which, Like thie, the omeunt invclved exceeded $200.

erder of the Kunieipsl court advised atterneys to check up the files
im August or early in Septenber in order that these dates might be
ascertained.
The petition of defendant averred that on different days
prier to July 14th, one of defendant's atterneys made inquiry of
the clerk and was informed by bi« that the case "ould net be tried
on the 14th but thet he sheald exanine the filbos in August or early
in September to learn upen whet day the case woul? be tried. it
alee averred that defendant's attorney sopesred im court personaily
July 14th ond inquired of the clerk an to the dienosition of the
esuse and wae inforeed that 1% hed een continued until fell. The
averment of the petition that defendant had no agtuel knewledge of
the entry of thie judgsent until the service of am exeevtion on him
on Auguet 17, 1934, is not contradicted, al theugh practically ef the
end of the preceeding leave wae given glaintiff te file an anewer to
the petition.
fhe clerk of the court testified that ke did met have any
reevllection of talking with defendant's attormeys. The reeerd
shows, however, thet §1 cases were on Judge iyle's Gali at this
time and that thia one was Ko. 26. Reeslleection by the clerk ef
everything that occurred in eonnestion with these eases on this hot
July day would be unusual. In addition te the testimony of the clerk
plaintiff hiweelf testified, and his testioeny gives a quite vivid
picture of what actually cecurred, In brief, 4 cisrk from hie of

between the parties whereby it wae agreed that eoeslaiaant weuld
permit defendant te uee her netes in and about the eompilation and
publication of the teek; that she would enter the employ of de-
fendant and would teach and demenstrate the art of beauty evlture
under the direction of Meyer; that she woul4 demonatrate and reeem-
mend exclusively the equinnent auwifactured and sold by defendant
and that in eoneideration of her netes and her services defendant
would pay her and she would accept an Tull compensation half of the
grease proceeds srieing from the sale ef the beoks, plue a drawing
aecount of $38.8 week and expenses whan out ef the sity ef Chieage.
Pareuant te the contract she delivered the notes to Meyer
and under his direetion wrote a texi book known ae *The Goemetiete, *
whieh was copyrighted under the nase of tha defendant. Defendant
eaused seven editions of the book te be issued, im ali averoximately
28,000 copies, These wore printed and offered tor sale snd were seld
te the pablis. Gemvlaimant hae fully nerfermed her part of the ¢on-
tract and hag no kneowledg® as te the sxset number of copies or the
exact price at which they wore sold, or the exact anount received
by defendant, ae she kept ne books of secount in relation therete,
bat all the faets are sithin the knowledge eY Reyer and defendant
kept bocke ef aceount showing the fasts. After the completion sand
@ale of these seven efiticne of the beok comuliainant fron time te
time dexanded from defendant om secounting and that it pay te her
her share of the green proceods arising frem the gales, tut de~W~
fendant neglected to make such accounting or te pay such money. In
September, 1931, complainant left tae empley of defendant and Keyer
refused te segount to her fer the preceeds from the eale ef the
book amd teld her that the book was in fact the property of defendant.
The anewer of defendant #et up a nucher of defenses, De-
fenédant aaserte that the finding tust the centraet was executed is
against the preponderance of the evidence and urges that, if made,

the agreement wae ultra vires the corporation; that Seyer as presie
dent wae without sutherity te sake such gontreet, aid that ne such
authority wae conferred upen him; tist eomplainuit cannet sttain
equitable relief because of unclean hands, and that the cause of age
tion is barred by the etatute of Limitaticns,
The eehtentien ef defendant as te unclean handa is based
upon the alleget fxet that the material whieh compiainant furnished
te defendant was not her own but was taken from other hooks and ane
thoritics.
There are tre anewers tc thig sontentien, Im the firet
place, the rule ie applicatie enly where the inenulty of whieh come
pinint ie meade concerns the very matter about which relief is sought,
Aesusing that the findings cf the mawter and the decree are correet.,
the supcesed inequitable eondust ie in our epinien tes remete te bar
complainant from her aetion. in the second place, the notes she
furnished m4 the beck abe aenisted in preparing fer publication de
net purport te be more than « compilation of knoviedge on the subject.
She made no particular claims to being an original investigater aleng
these lines, but the evidence tends te estublish that with the
aseletmee of delendant's preeident thie material gathered from 4if-
ferent scurces was compiled inte a treatise on the subfect ehich was
mere or Llese uxefal, but whiah at any rate served the evident pur-
pose for whieh 1t was designed, tiat is, advertising (at the ax-
pense cf the purchasers) machines, equipment, ets., of defendant
company. Indeed, it seane te have been a sucgeseful venture. Meyer
says that compiainant quit the service: 6f defendant voluntarily,
and that defendant would heave been willing te make use of her ser-
vices for s lenger time had she wished to remain, We hold that come
Plainant ie net precluded by any inecuity in her conduct from raine
taining her suit.
Again, defendant contends that the alleged agreement was

$36 Tl. 822; Anes v. Garo!
Lu et w 3 He oa,
Botfman, In¢g., $36 111. S43, aud many other eagee, Yhey say that
Henleys had no aecount with olaintiff; thet $5,000 was deneaited
in ew¢rew; that plaintiff? eculd have retained the price of tne
gveranty policy, if 14 wished, oid instead ef thie, it eleeted te
Yeleage the funds im ite porsecsien and to look te beVry fer pay-
ment. They furtaer eay that sialntiff ewald Bave recovered from
Devry.
Fe think it quite unmneceseary to review the eases cited.
They ar® clearly distinguishable upon the facte and not at 211 sone
trolling here, The mere fact that tse itene mued for wore charged
to DeVry'sa sceount would net greoiude a sult thereafter against Je-
Tendante. White Oak Coal Ga, v. Yortringtan, 15% lil. Ape. 86%.
In the absonce of proof to the sentrary the contract with slaintiff
will be interpreted an the agsiication of deYendants, net of DeVry,
@ince 1t clearly sopeare that Devry acted in the tramesction fer
disclosed principals. See Kestaieeent of the Law of Ageney, sects,
155 and 156, There wae mo orcef here, cor offer to prove, thet
Plaintiff or ites agente handling tiie transaetion were informed that
DeVry was to pay these cogte ani expenees, if guen knovledge hed
been brought home te plaintiif, different questien would be eree
sented, The uncontradicted evidenor chews that defendants with
knowledge requested and secepted the services of plaintiff and the
papers and decunente produced by such services; that by written gon.
tract they hed expresely obligated themaelves to deliver sech
doguments se prepared by glaintiff. Um the plainest orinciples of
equity and justice they are obligated te pay fer that which they
have reecived and used, The conversations between defendants and
their agent DeVry in the abeence ef representatives of plaintirr
eould met in any way be binding upon plaintiff anlere there wee an
offer to shew that such conversations or arrangenent had been made

Davie G. KeCarn Was present at the sale December 1, 1931, amd the
steck was purchased by Peter J, Blagserich, then a stoekhelider and
afterwarda slected « direstor of complainant,
The master found thai the value of these 100 shares on
April 14th, 1631, was #92 «a share, Complainent hewing filed ne
objection before the master nor exesption before the chancellor te
thie finding, ie therefore oreecluded trem argutag, to the contrary
here, Harble v, Thomas, 178 tll. 540; Genrke v. Geurke, 190 111.
166; Barney v. Comre, of Lincoln Park, 295 111. 397. Assuming thie
to be the value of the ateek on that date, the proof befare the
master shows that defenident retained an ameunt of property on April
16th sufficlent to meet Nis obligation, and that practically the
@ntire amount of property se retained was in the posecagion of come
plainant,
The bALL ae filed eens to be based upon the theory that it
was the intention of the jJudgeant debter te defraud eomplainant by
the tromefer in trust. The cage hare, however, ie orgued uren a
aifferent theory, Bemely, sat of « ecqnstructive trust, and it is
urged that it ie pet meceseary to show a¢tusl ioselveney in order
to render a voluntary tranefer to o wife or child wold, tit that
the true teat is whether or not the tranefer direetly Mmtended to
er 41d impair the rights of existing erediters. Cemplainant sites
Birney vy. Selomen, 348 111. 410, in whieh the Lilinois cases are
reviewed, It is there held that the established rule in this State
deee not require proof sf actual inscivenecy in order te render a
voluntary conveyance veid where the tame is made from a husband te
a eife or from a parent te a ehiid. The eourt said:
"The doctrine ia firsly deelered toe be that ene must be just
before he is generous. Bhat may be in the mind of the granter when
he makeea a voluntary conveyance to hie wife or ohild is immaterial,

for if it results in hindering, delaying or defrauding crediters,
it must be regartet an fraudulent, A donor may make a conveyanees
with the most upright datentions, an¢ yet, if the transfer hinders,
delays «r defrauds his erediters it may be set aside as freudulent,
(Hanuen Sa OSFI624, 124 012. 164; Mekey v. Metoid, 298 id. 666.)
Of such feree is this rule that where ane is feand to be insolvent
after having made a voluntary eonveyanee te his wife the burden ef
dispelling the implication of fraud ae agalnet pre-exiating
ereciteors is upen hia grantee. Dilisan Ya. Sadehhect aes 463 maa
wani Hority v. Hoifmen, 55 id. $53; Batterson v. Bebinney, supra.”
Defendants do net ouéetion thie rule of law but argue that
the fects woieh appear in thie ease bring it within an exeention
te the general rule, tamely, that « erediter whe ie fully eeeured

erediter should be required te plead and preve other cirequssatances

ferred. Defendants Say that the oroof shews that at the date ef the
transfer ¢oxplainant was Tully sveoured by the stoek of the Pane
American Yall Paper © Paint Ge., which nad «a book value of $92 a

that tiles finding is suvperted by ctatenenta in evidence refleeting

stock of complainant ie cleséely held; that 1¢ is a "chose corpo rae

Yliation of values; that tiere are ne sueh inflated items as "good

that the couplaining crediter hee become such erediter subsequent
to the time of the tranefer, and ike other where an exieting
orediter is fully secured at the time 63 the transfer.
The exceptions are diggussed by Chancelier Aent in an exe
heustive opinien filed in heada, Admatr. v. Livingsten, 3 Johnaon's
Gnaneery Reporte (/.¥. 1418) 441. ‘The opinion in that ease reviews
the Englieh and American sautherliies ond, while stating the general
rule which hae been follewed in lliineis (asd helding in that par-
ticular case that the transfer ip trust was fraudulent as ageinet
the creditors) pointed oul that as to claims of subsequent ereditera
there was sore 417fieculty in arriving at a deficitive opinion. That
@reat Judge sise etated by way of dictum the better opinien te be
“that the presuaptien of fraud as ie these erediters arising from
the cireumetance, that the party was indebted at the time, ia re-
pelied by the fact of these debts being edeuiid by sertgage, or by a
provision in the settlement; taat if ne such cireumetonece existe,
they are entitied te impeach the settiemont by a blll preperly
adapted to their purpose, and charging and proving indebtedness at
the time, #6 that their rights will not depend on the mere cleasure
ef the prior creditors, whether they will 6r 7111 net impeach the
settlement."
As defendants point cut, thue early in tne bistery of the law
the fact that a erediter was fully secured sae reengrized as a ele
Qumatance that would rebut the praeuption of fraud waich would
otherwise arise from a voluntary conveyanee by a debter, and tais
dictua of Chancelior Lent seems to heve been followed in mony
Gases in different jurisdictions, Without undertaking to 4iseuse
the facts in detail, we quote from deme Life & Accident Co. vy,
Sehietl, 17% ark.,, Si, where the geurt maid that the reason fer
indulging presumetions did net avply under sirewnetances where the
erediter held full security, smd further waid:

"The reeaon for this dictinetion in putting seeured eredie
tere in the some entegery os subsequent ereditera is that, whatever
presuxption ie te be indulged, the erediter, in aelecting nie seque
rity, hae, unlike a general erediter, disregarded esther oroperty of
the debter and locked eniy ta hie security for the calleetion ef
hie debt, hence he is entitied te ne presumption ef fraud in the hee:
eonveyarnce ef other sroperty. uch « erediter ia one whe hes
already been given a preference over ethere, ond ia not in the ate
titude ef an existing gemeral erediter, henee his relianee is
deemed to have bean founded on Kis seeurity rether Luan on the
solvyesey of the 4ebter.* ;
in Van Wyek v. Seward, 6 Paige's Chuocery Heports 62 (8.Y.)
affirmed ic 18 Yend. 475, a bili brought to set seide an alleged
fraudulent conveyance was dismissed. Chancellor Yalworth, discuaeing
the faets, esid that it appeared that doupiainant had failed te shew
that defendant had an intention te Aefraud complainant by his volun.

“and I think the evidenes seews, ost conclusively, that the
property upon which the assigned juigeent was « lien, 17 gold fer
anytuing Like ite falr cash value, vould have been suificiernt te
eatisfy the whole amount of that Judgment. The eompluinant, pere

Seward, who had guaranteed the coliection of the Judmeot, liable
for the deficieney. Sat must we oresume that Willian Seward anti-
cipated that gues a course of pree¢eding would kave been adepted by
the complainant; and hold Aiea settieaent ef his property smong the
afferent meubers of his family «he Aad claime upon Sie bounty,
fraudulent for that reason? If taere vas ample property beund ky
the lien of the jJudguent to pay the debt, at the fair cash value,
and the guaranter had ae reasen te believe he would be charged with
ony thing under hie guaranty, that is sufficient te rebut #11 pre-
@uaption of fraad. Under the circuwetances of this ease, I do net
believe the complainant would huve permitted a strauger toe bid in
the property bound by the agvigned judgment at the asvunt due

therefore, could not reasonably have anticipated the @#vente whieh

In Polk County Sational Bunk v,. Beet
the court said:
"if the only debt the grantor owes at the time of the cift
is fully secured, the conveyance must be held velid, for he is thm
in the same condition legally ae if he vere free from debt. the
evidence shewe that at the time Seett made the deed te bie wife the

even now shown affirmatively that the property in the hande ef the
trustees is net sufficient te seeure the debt.*
In Steakel vy. Billion, 210 In, 1138, 232 N. W. 387, the
Supreme court of that state said in substance that the debtor was
entitled in equity te have the seeurity held by the erediter applied
on the indebtedness; that if it bead been sa applied there woulda be

erediter sought to eet aside o conveyanoe made by the debier te his
wife prior te the time the indebtedness originated, the triai court
held the conveysnee vold on the ground that the debtor waa heavily
indebted when he made the eonveyence; cut our Supreme eourt reversed
the judgment on the authority of Boritz v, Hoffman, 56 lil. 583,
saying that while the evidence ehowed that the debter Had considere
able indebtedness at the time he made the conveyance, it was largely
centingent as surety for others, enti while the trial ceurt had found
thet his asneta were insufficient te discharge or satisi'y his debts

gertsin trust deeds conveying the premises were made whieh are
not material to the present controversy. in Kay, 1999, Henry
Paschen, doing businese as Paachen Srotaers, eutered into o write
ten contract as general contractors with the 840 herth Biehigan

in way, 1929, there wae due complainant Tor such fixtures,
after allowing eredite, $32,449.36; about thie time John Degran,
Ine., became financially exbarrassed and was not able to pay the

ef the work. The letter saya: “We guarantee payment for plumbing
material needed threughout the remaimder of the work that ie ore
dered from you by eur representative at the inetigation of John
Degnan or hie sutherigzed representative." The letter alee ine
structed that the orders should be billed "te Pasehen Brothers,
e/e Jom Degnon." Thereafter complainant delivered plumbing sup-
plies ss ordered by Paschen Bratiers at the prices agreed upon
between comslainant and Johm BDegnan, Ime. The material delivered
after thie letter was written amounts te $1221.45, and the lien
fer thie is not questioned,
The master found that sil the plumbing material was
wrought inte and became a permanent part of the structure, en-
hancing its value in excess of the amount claimed by complainant.
The master aleo found that the last delivery ef material, prier
te the letter of Baschen Ercthers guaranteeing the acecunt, was
in Bay, 1999, and the last material delivered after that letter was
om August 2, 19%; that due noticesor the mechanic's liens were
served, ani that all the parties interested knowingly permitted
compleinent to furnieh materials and supclies to the building;
the waster found that all eof the material allegations of the bili
an? amendments and supplementa therete hag been proven, and reeome
mended a degree aceordingly.
Defendante argue that there was a material variance between
complainant's pleadings and the proof, in that complainant alleged
the centract was made December 11, 1924, while the proof shewed it
Was made May 11, 1928.
Ve do not regard the point as ispertant, The evidence
amply shows that the eonutract was made December 11, 1928. In
equity oractice the rule concerning variance is not strictly en-
forced and cannet be inveked ageinat a decree where the eroor is
sufficient te suprert a claim for relief, although the bil] may

Apesrently the chanceller was of the epinion that the cone
tracts vere made Kay 11, 1925, or July 5, 1924. The Letters written
en these days by complainant te John Degnan, Ine. ,were simply quetae
tion letters offering ite supplice at certain prices for any pre-
posed work. At the time these letters were reesived John Degnan,
Ine., had no contraet for the plusbing work on this building; ite
ecentract for this work was not made until Auguet 22, 1925. Complaine
ant furnished the fixtures in accordance with the order of John
Degnan, Inc., of December 11, 1°24.
We eanmet agree with the eontention of def dante that there
were two contracts, Manifestly there was only one contract te fure
nish the plusting and fixtures for the building in queation. The
fact that after complainant had executed most of the comtract and had
refused te deliver the remainder ef the goods unless it sheuld be ase
sured of receiving payment, woleh assurance was given by Paschen
Brothers, the general contractors, 4id net divide the contract inte
two eontracte, The materials were delivered in econneet Lon with ene
joo in one building and cannet reasonably be d4iviczed inte twe sepae
rate contracts, A somewhat sinilear cueetion wae raised in Balleable
Iron Co, y, Brennan,174 Ill, App. 33, where it was contended there
were two seoarate contracts, one for the installation ef a bath and
toilet and the other for the installation of a heating plant. ‘The
court held against this on the ground thet beth jobs were Jene on
the same building, fer the same owners, and usually done by the esme
workmen ani sre known as plumbers' jobs. See also Seiji _v, Somash,
237 Ill. App. 844.

Defendant says complainant seuld set have stated the age
count as beginning April 1, 1990, but should bays eommenced the
acecunt st the dates when 1t first gesuenced delivering *rouguing
in*®* material to John Degnen, Inc., and that semplainant hed ne right
te apply payments received from John Degnan, inc,, on this account,
ae the richts of third parties, Paschen Brothers, are involved, The
master preverly found thet, commencing September 1, 1924, and at
intervels thereafter, cowplaineant delivered large amounte of
"roughing in” materinl te John Degran, inc., but taat complainant
was paid in full for this material and none of it is inciuded in
the claim for mechanic's lien. ¥urthermere, there was np éewigna-
tion as to hor the paymerte received by complainant sheuld be ape
plied. it is the rule that where the debtor does not so indicate,
the creditor may apply such paywmeats where he chooses, idese y,
Hentze, 326 111. 634.
As a further defense it is asserted that certain quantities
of pipe delivered te John Degman, inc., on September 1, 1925, were
net used in the building. The evidence shewe that the materials
were delivered to the slace of business 6F John Degnan, inc., and
were used by 1% in enother buliding upon wliien it then had the
plumbing contract; complainant had no motice that said meterials
were to be used in thia other building and they were bilied te the
general secount ef John Degnan, Ine, The evidence shows that John
Degnan, Inc., paid this inveice and no lien is claimed for it.
Other points are sreaented upon wiieh we de net think it
necensary te comment as they do not affect the merite of the cause.
The master found the facte and stated the account correetly, and it
was errer to sustain the exceotions te hin repert,
decres is therefore reversed and the cause remanded with
directions to enter a decree in accordance with the recommendations
of the master in chancery.

686. The contention of defendent in this respect ie net eontre-
verted by osuneel for plaintiff in their brief, but they contend
that since it was charged in the fourth egumt of the declaration
that the defendant taxieab sompany pereitted the taxicab in
question te be overated Without good and sufficient brakes, in
direct vieleticn of the atatute, this constituted negligcenes on
the part of the eab caupany irrespeetive of the sendact of the
ariver of the aab, for whieh pisintiff waa cititled te reeever.
The 44fficulty with thie eentention le that there is ne evidence
in the resord tending, in any wasmer, to shov that the brakes ef
the taxicab were not in good working crver, nor is there any
evidence in the record that the brakes om the Sedge car were not
in good condition. The only evidence om the question of brakes is
that they “howled” or “squeaked” when the driver ef the Dodge ear
eppiied them, Thies in no vay indicated that tavy vere aut of
repair,
While counsel for defendant argues at consiserable lesgth
that the fury might weal believe that the “squeak” of the brakes
came from the brakee of the tasicab aid net from the brakes of the
Pedge car, ve think this eontention ia centrary te all the evidense
on thie question, Sut im no event gould it be materisi because
there is me evidence that the brakes were out ef order or Jdofective
merely beenuse they "equesaked® when applied. Hapealaily is this
true ae anolied te tae evidence is the instant case,
Suet we have just asid im regard to the brakes is suffi-
sient aliswer to plaintiff's ecententien that the eourt ecommitted no

@ rule which applies oniy te railresd and municipal eorgeration and

were given @xeest twee which the ceurt refused; that one of these
inetructions wae a feint instruction om behalf ef beth defendants
and aid net indicate te the jury “that the jury should consider
S@parately the liability of elther defendant." ‘There ie some merit
in plaintiff's contention. After the jury was eworn, the defendants
aid withdraw their special plea, denying special ernership, operation
and control ef the autarobiie, ond meade a Joint motion at the sleee
of plaintiff's evidence and at the close of ali the evidenee tendered
an instrustion to find “the defendanta® net guilty. But whether
this action on the part of tie defendants lulled plaintiff into the
belief that the ownership and operation of the autonebile by beth
defendants wae net controverted and that only tke ercnecfwl set was
denied, does not acpear, ner is there any intimation tuat claintiff
eould have produced witneeres or evidence of any eharaeter tending
te show that defendant Charles Stern wae in any way Liable fer the
unfortunate secident in which plaintiff was severely injured and Bie
autexsobile grestiy damaged, Kereover, defo: dante, by their offered
instruction whieh the court refused, seught te have the court tell
the jury that the charge made by plaintiif againet defendants was
that defendants owned and operated the autemwhile at the time of the
@ollision, and umless the jury believed from the ‘evidence that the
automobile wae operated and sontrolled by beth defendanta, as
oharged, then they should find the defendants set ,ulity.
Se think the resord falle to dis¢lese that piaintirr was
prejudiced by the defendants’ action im withdrawing their special
Plea. Since the law in effect at the time of tre aceident in this
case and at the time ef the trial srevente a fudgment against two
perame te be affirmed where it is wrong againet one of them, and
singe ve hold tuat there is ne #vidwmee against the defendant charles
Stern, the judgment eannet stand.
the judgment of the Superior court of Geok esunty is reversed

that sueh summona, including the sheriff's return the eon, vag
exhibited to the court at the time the d¢favlt wae taken and the
Geeree entered, we are uneble to egree with defendant's eentent ton
that the deeree should be reversee by uz om a question of leew
while the cnuse is pendimg in the “uperier court on uncetexmined
issues of fact on the identical ouestion presented here, av wohl
ee On other questions raised im the trial ecurt om defendant ta
petition te vacate the decrees “e are of the apinion, rather,
that thie writ of errer is unjustified in view ef the fact that
éefendant on its own motion secured leave to defend and in defending
this cause om ite merits in the Superior court. ‘The esse new
etangs contimued generally im the cours below om ¢efendant's motien
and it may on notice of either party be called up and reinatated
for final determination. “@ ara compelled te the conclucion that
in the present state of the reeard the deeree ef “pril 17» 1931,
is not final ond that the enuse is «till pending and undictermined
im the Cuperior court.
Im the view we take of thig couse we deem it unnecessary
to discuss other points vhich have been urged.

Wiarah named ag beneficiary on the face of the eertifieate,
The group life insurance policy contract between the
association and complainant containes the following among other
provisionas
“This policy, the application of the assceistion and
the incivicual applieutione, if any, of the members insured,
comatitute the entire contract between the parties hereto.”
‘amy member insured hereunder gay upon uriiten request
signed by the member designate a new beneficiary aa often ag
é¢siredg such dewlgnation to become effective emly upon receipt
of same at the Home Office of the Comparny
The certificates of insurance icsued te the seeotient
under the group pelicy or contract contained thie provisions
“In the event of the death of any insured member at any
time or place, from any cause whetevever, the amount of insurance
then in foree upon hie lite will be paid to the last duly deaige
mated beneficiary or beneficlaries., The beneficiary may be changed
at any time uncer and subject te the terme of the policy .*
It nleo appeared that complainant paid to Hattic Marehts
wife of cecedent, the $1,900 ineuranee covered by the weeond ceortie
ficate, and that the basis ef thie action is the GL,0Oo covered by
the first certificate which the chancellor ordered paic to Lucy
Malthe
Defendant Hattie Mersh contends that when the insured
made hig application for the additional £1,500 insurence he
Gefinitely intended to make her the benefieiary of the original
91,000 as well as the additional @1,000 insuraneeg that veoth
snouts aa well as the name of Lucey Hargh, benefieinzy, appeared
om the application card presented to him for the additional
insurance, and that before signims some he struck owt the mame
“Lusy" and wrote in the name “Mettie*; that with the name of imey
Marsh stricken cut and the amount of insurance of whieh she way
beneficiary remaining in she was thereby intentionally eliminated
as @ beneficiary; that under the terme of the group policy the

apecifieslly wade a part of the Gomtract of insurance 4t wag
intended to and éid cover 511 of the inaurance whieh he carried
with complainant under tts aroup policy contract with the
aeseciction.
Defendant Lucy Smith’ « theory is that she was made
beneficiary of the original 19000 certifieate before Nettie
Marsh beenme decedent! g wife; that the application for and the
iguuenee of the certifieate tor 49000 additional ingurence in
no way affected herrighte; thet the fact that Mattie Harsh was
the last named bencfieciory in point of time aid not eanecel the
original declaration of venefi¢iaryseoncerning Liself with the
segond policy onlyg that the provisions of the inouranes contract
apecified that a member might “upon «ritten request sigaed by
the menber designate a new benefielarys" that it was necencary
te order and direet the company formuily, in writings, te change
the beneficiary befere such chemge sould ve efferted, that this

There ia wething im the record te inétieate that when
decedent signed the application for additional ineuwrenee he had in
contemplation anything except the additional imewrance. It is
true that the application form filled owt as heretefere set Lox tit,
before it wae prenented te him for his signature, esrried a
memorandum of the original group policy showing the amount of
game, the date applied for and the amoumt of the weekly premium.
However, in the absenee af evidence to the contrary it is a
'xyengomable inference that the only purpose of complainant in
listing the originel imeurange on thia e¢eond application waa for

anee disclosed his intention to mike such change. “ven though
thet was his intention ond he meant to so dieelose it by hie
conduet, nothing that he did, in oury opinion, had the offset of
designating « mew beneficiury under the firat policy. The
provisions of his contract of incuronee set forth the plan by
which the reserved right to change the beneficiary might be
made effective. The generai rule supported by the great weight
of authority ie that where the policy prescribes am’ reagulates
the method of changing beneficiaries any attempt or amy imtent
to make such change im any other manner is ineffeetuaie (Retxge
politan Life ines Cos ve Brown, 222 Ey. 2lie} ‘he right to
change the beneficiary, while permitted by the policy, ia Limited
by ite terms, @ substantial compliance with which eomnet be dispensed
withe Freund ve Freund, 214 [lis 18%, states the doctrine on this
aubjeet which, in ite application to this ease, inhibite our holding
that any change of beneficiary of the firet peliey wae offeebed by
deeedent’s acts im conneetion with the application for the ecound
policy. (Geghey ve Miller, 157 [ile Appe 278+)
It appeared that Lucey “mith never had the firet poliey
im her posseesion and did not even know of ite exiatence. The
fact of the policy never having been deliveres to her, but remnining
im the posseevion of Mereh, detractea nothing from the effeet of hia
dircetion fer the payment of its proecevda te her. Her olaim of
right to the fund does not reat upon gontract, but upon a direotion
for ite payment te here (Highiand v. Highland, gupra.) We are
constrained to hold that there waa ample justifiontion for the
court's conclaugion that lucy ‘mith wae the rightful beneficiary

Plaintiff Condon that the Suttle Zyuipment Company was mot properly
equipped or engineered to earry the invextions to procugtiony that
Conden preposed te defendant that plaintiffs would give him the boat
as payment if he would carry the inventions throuch to psreduetion
and “I stated that fer the boat < would preesed te work and use my
effiee and help for the nevessory yeriod, “hich t Setimated to be
about six months, te carry these things inte geod predugtion.*
Pefendant's other two witnesses testified t¢ eubsetantioday the
seme effect.
Plaintiffs contend that by defendant's epecial plea ef
payment and hie affidavit of merits in weppert ef seme, he odmlig
the purchase ef the boat ond ia Limited in hie éefense i@ shew
payment and that the burden of proof wee on him on that Leones
that, insemach na he esserted im his affidavit of merdte thet the
payment was made by the rendition ef services “in perfecting certain
medele and ether work in counection eith sach meGelas” the trial
court erred in admitting evidence az te the service @isimed to have
been performed other than as stated in Rie affidavit of merite; that
the cours erred in giving te the jury eertain repugnant instruetionas
amd that, even hed the pleadings ond «ffidavit of merite permitted
& showing by defendant that the considerstion for she beat we hig
services te the extent necessary te permit the “itéle Equipment
Company te carry the inventions te a ce“aplete production standpoint,
the proof 44d mot sustain sueh a defense.
Defendant's theory is that instead ef the werk and services
of defendant being the consideration for the 968%, the boat wea the
| Semeiderstion fer the work and services, and that defendant did net
| PUrchavs the bont frem plaintiffs.
Defendant urges that his special plea of payment ens filed

brief that thin court whould dileregare 44 ae ne preeft was offered
under it. efendant them ineista that hig afficavis of merits
refutes the idea of tne aude eof the best io him and contains ne
aesertion ef payment for it by wim. tf: is ewfficient anewer te
thie contention to quete from bie afiicayit of merite oo fcllews:

That cefeadant's insistence here and om the trial that
imetesc of hie work being the sancideration for the boat, the
Voat was the consideration fer kis werk, vase and is an afterthought,
is demonstrated by the follewing feem Rie affidavit of merite: * thet
the conaiderstion fer the trenefexy of the boat sas work deme and te
be dome by this affiant, #ie."
It is obvious to us and the plain language of the affidavit
of merits supports our conclusion, that when the «ffidavit ef merits
was filed 1% was defendant's purpese be and he did admit the purchase
and delivery of the boat, but disputed the priee amd the methed and
Ghavacter of payment.
His effidavit of merite sintes “that the consideration
for said boat waa mot the alieged man of 99,250; that mo definite
wum wee fixedy that the market value of said boat 2% the time of the
transfer wes less than $6,000." An inegection of the affidavit of
merits demonetrates conclusively that it eet forth the defense of
payment and only that defense.
Plaintiffs made qut o prims fnute case by presenting
evidenes that defendant agreed and premised to pay them $9,250
eash for the beat. ‘The burden then devolved upen cefendamt under
his affiduvit of merits to chow, if he could, that the amount and
character of the consideration to be paid by him were different

After = enreful review of the evidence and of the briefs
ond argimento ef opposing coungul, we have reached the eonelual on
tat the judgment apyeale: fom should net be ollewed te stamd and
taat there showld be another trial ef the exne, Aw we vier the
pleadings aud evidencey there are two major issues involved, vis?
(1) “hether any truck ewoed er operated by defendant was in any
way involved in the seeldout, und (2), even if ik be conceded that
@ truck of defendant waa segligentiy and improperly parked on
Addison atrest in front of the barber shop im the wasaer chewr,
whether auch truek, ao parked, proximately cauced ex contributed
to the necident and té plaintiff's injuries. Ga beth of theee
issues, im our opinion, the verdict is net sufficiently sustained
ty the evidence.
in view of our heldings ag above, it is unececnaary for
us to dlseues defendant*s esuneeis' further contemtious, (1) that
she court erred in giving to the jury evriaiu imetructionsa offered
by plaintiff; (2) that the dammges awarded by the jury are greasly
exeeavives and (3) that certain sentec concuet of the judge curing
the trinl wee prejudicial te defendant.
After the transcript of the reverd was here filed,
plieintiff meved te atrikeecertain parte of it,» and the motion wos
reserved to the hearing. It io now denied.

“Se mow come to the claim ef the appellants (Louis

freed of the Coburn Iniebtedness and the Buchheister judgment,

think there is mo merit im appellee's contention. The sbligntion
to diucharge the Coburn indebtudmess was mutual, the appellees as
well as the appellents being equclly bound te pay that indebted
HGSs, ani the Suchhelster judgment was the acle obligation of the
appellee, and a redeeming creditor whe redesme in conformity with
the statute is mot 6 mers volunteer, The right of contri ttien
rests upon the principle that where all sre ecually liable fer

Complainant contends, in its original brie®, that "under
the sllegatione in Paragraphe 7 and & ef the Amended BLLL, tae
gonveyance by Herbert Lubin te Karie Lubin, and the conveyanee in
trust by karie Lubin to the Chicage Title and Trust Company, eon
atituted, ae between Herbert iubin ont Barie lubin, one and the
same transaction. Likewhee, uhder these allegutions, the convey-
anee from Herbert Lubin to Maric Lubin wae for the purpose ef net
only defrauding the crediters of Aerbert Lubin, but Karfe Lubin
‘oresent and future.' therefore, under the allegations of the
bill, the two conveyances, constituting ene and the same trangage
tien, so far ae derbert iubin and barie imbin are concerned, vere
for the pursose of defrauding the erediters of karte Lubin ‘sresent
and future.'* Defendants stube that they are willing te adopt, for
the purveses of this appeal, *the contention of the sesplainent thet
the tranefer of funds from Herbert iubin to Karie Lubin snd from her
to the Ghieago Title and Trust Gemcpany, as Trustee, constituted an
entire and indivisible traneaastien ani beeame in fact o transfer
from Herbert Lutin direetiy to Chicage Title and Trust Company, as
Fruetes, Upen that eseumptien se may regard Zarie Llubin's partici-~
pation in the transaction in the nature ef a conduit through which
the funds easeed.” It wlll be noted toast while the comelainant
eontends that the conveyance from Herbert Lubin to varie Lubin,
and from her to the Chicage Title and Trust Company, as trustee,
was “one and the same transaction,* it does net ask that the sesign-
ment from Herbert Lubin of the funda in the Sesbeard National Bank,
of Kew York, to Harie iubin be volded, but merely esecke to have the
property invelved reveat in Marie Lubin #6 that it may beeome avali-

The amended bill aslleges that the Judguent wae obtained
five years after the creation of tae trust, but is silent as te

Tt ie eetties Athat if a seteoff ia improper, the court
should cither etrike it from the files upon motion (Duncan Lumber
Soe Ve imonard Lumber Coe, B32 Till. Add, 106) or exchude 012
evidence on it upon objeetion made (Higpie vs. dust, 211 [lis 533).

“Gur eatatute (Uehill's State 192375 chape Liv, sete 475 pe

was of a purely pergomel cature, could not bind the cerperntian

in furtherance of thet underatanding. There was ne proof thet the

IN THE
APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS
SECOND DISTRICT
<2 ae coe
February Term, A.D. 1954.
The People of the State of
Illinois,
Defendant in irror
Writ of Error to the County
VS. Court of Lake County.
James Ryan and John Twohig,
Plaintiffs in Error.
DOVE, Jd.
A jury in the County Court of Lake County found plaintiffs
in error guilty of removing the manufacturer's serial number on
an Automatic Remingtm rifle, as charged in an Information there-
tofore filed in that court, After denying motions for a new
trial and in arrest of judgnent, each defendant was, by the cuurt,
sentenced to the Illinois State Farm at Vandalia, to serve ninety
days and to pay a fine of $100.00. To review this judgment, each
defendant sued out this Writ of Error and contends that the verdict
is contrary to the evidence, that the trial court erroneously in-
structed the jury and that their motion for a new trial should
have been granted on the ground of newly discovered evidence.
The evidence discloses that about four o'clock in the afternoon
of April 25, 1933, plaintiffs in error were in an automobile and
drove through the Village of Wauconda on Route 176, At the inter-
section of Route 80, there was a stop sign which they passed
unheeded. <A highway police officer overtook them and placed them
under arrest. At that time Ryan was driving and Two_hig was sitting
in the rear seat of the automobile and an Automatic high-powered
Remington rifle, Model 8, was on the floor at Twohig's feet. It
was loaded with five dum dum bullets and an identifying manufacturer's

serial number was completely obliterated. Both were drunk and
in reply to a question by the officer as to what they were doing
with the rifle, said they were hunting pheasants. Plaintiffs
in error thereupon assaulted the officer, attempted to run over
him with their automobile in their emdeavor to escape, and it
was only after a ten mile chase over a gravel road at a rapid
rate of spped, approximately 70 miles per hour, that they were
re-captured.
Counsel for plaintiffs in error insist that the People in
this case relied upon the provision of the Statute to the effect
that possession of a firearm upon which a number has been defaced
is prima facie evidence that the person in whose possession the
gun is found has made the alteration and inasmuch as both defendants
denied that they obliterated the number, this presumption was thereby
overcome and the court should have directed a verdict in their favor.
Plaintiffs in error did testify in their own behalf. Mr. Ryan
testified that he was driving the car; that he first saw the gun
in the office of the Justice of the Peace in Wauconda after his
arrest; that it was not his gun and he did not know whose it was
and that he did not remove or obliterate any number therefram.
Mr. Twohig testified that he did not see the gun in the car the
day he was arrested or know it was there, but that he first saw
it at Wauconda after his arrest. He admitted that he attempted
there to hide it under his coat, but said he was drunk and was
acting in fun at the time. He likewise testified that he did
not remove or obliterate any number thereon. Whether or not this
presumption that the defendants, in whose possession this gun Was
fourid, altered the number thereon, was overcame by the evidence
was a question of fact for the jury to determine and its verdict
indicates that the jury refused to accept the testimony of either
defendant ani we are unable to say they were not warranted in so
doing. While each defendant, on the trial, testified that he did

not know the gun was in the car and that the first time he saw
it was in Wauconda after his arrest, it was also in evidence that
when questioned at the time of their arrest, by the officer who
made the arrest, they did not deny the ownership of the gun but
stated that they had it for the purpose of hunting pheasants.
It is true they were drunk, but they were sober enough to under-
stand they were being arrested and they endeavored to effectuate
an escape. The jury were the judges of the facts in this case and
the credibility of the witmesses and unless there appears fram all
the evidence a reasonable doubt of the guilt of the defendants,
the jury were warranted in finding them guilty. There was no error
in refusing to direct a verdict of not guilty for the defendants,
nor can it be said that the verdict is contrary to the weight of
the evidence,
It is next contended that the court erred in giving instruction
number nine, which embodied the statutory definition of an accessory
and then concluded "and if the jury find fram the evidence, beyond
a reasonable doubt, that the defendant, James Ryan, did aid, abet,
assist, advise or encourage the perpetration of the crime as charged
in the information, then the jury are justified in finding said
defendant guilty." Counsel admits that this instruction has been
approved in People v. Nowicki, 330 111. 381, but insist that it
was error to give it because it names James Ryan, and by so doing
assumes that the erime was committed by Twohig. According to the
testimony of the highway officers, the gun was at the feet of Twohig
in the car which Ryan was driving. Under all the evidence and facts
and circumstances in evidence, we do not believe that this instruction
is subject to the criticism directed against it and the court did
not err in giving it. The People v. Arbuthnot, 355 Ill. 577.
The instruction upon circumstantial evidence properly stated
the law as counsel for plaintiffs in error concede and it is not
pointed out in what particular it could have been misleading to

the jury. Instruction number eight told the jury that flight of
a defendant soon after the commission of an offense is to be
considered by the jury with the other evidence in the case in
determining the question of guilt. Counsel for plaintiffs in
error say there was no flight shown after the commission of the
erime charged in this information. The evidence, however, is that
after the officer placed plaintiffs in error under arrest and
had had the conversation about the gun and took possession of
it that then plaintiffs in error sought to escape. There was
no error in giving this instruction. People v. White, 3$1 Ill. 356.
Instruetion number seven is as follows: "The court im tructs
you in the language of the Statute, that no person shall change,
alter, remove or obliterate the name of the maker, model, manufactur-
er's number or other mark of identification on any firearm. Possess-=
ion of any firearm upon which any such mark shall have been changed,
altered, removed or obliterated, shall be prima facie evidence that
the possessor has changed, altered, removed or obliterated the same."
Counsel for plaintiffs in error insists that this instruction defines
more than one offense and by not including any definition or meaning
of the words 'prim facie', it would be likely to confuse and mis-
lead the jury. The use of the words 'prima facie’ in instructi ons
has frequently been condemned. People v. MeCurrie, 337 Ill. 290:
People v. Sikes, 328 Ill. 64: Grosh v. Acom, 525 Ill. 474: Johnson
v. Pendergast, 308 Ill. 255: People v. Tate, 316 Ill. 52 and
Riddle v. Mansager, 254 Ill. App. 68, In People v. Beck, 505 Ill.
595, however, an instruction using these words was approved, and
while this instruction does define more than one offense, it is
in the language of the Statute and in our opinion no reversible
error was committed in giving this instruction.
In support of plaintiffs in error's motion for a new trial,
the affidavit of Lillian Ryan and Wm. Scott Stewart, the attorney
representing plaintiffs in error,was submitted to the Court. In
her affidavit, Miss Ryan stated that shortly after the arrest of
her brother, she visited Wauconda and the surrounding territory and

made inquiry of various persons in an endeavor to learn the move-
ments of her brother during the day of his arrest. That her brother
had informed her that at the time of his arrest, he was so drunk
that he had no recollection of the places he visited except that
he remembered going to several road houses and drank beer and whiskey
therein, That following his conviction by the jury on May 25, 1955,
the Chicago American, on the following day, carried a news article
concerning the trial and at noon on that day she received a telephone
call from someone who refused to give his name, advising her that
the rifle which was offered and admitted in evidence upon the trial
of this cause, had been purchased from Hibbard, Spencer and Bartlett,
wholesale hardware dealers in Chicago, some years before. Thah an
examination of the gun would disclose that it also had sergal numbers
on the inside, and that from these the name of the person who owned
the gun at the time the outside serial number was removed could be
ascertained, as the then ower had taken the gun to a gunsmith for
repairs, but that affiant had been unable to locate this gunsmith
but coneluded that if she was given an oppatmity to run down this
informatio, she would be in a position to prove that the numbers
on this gun had been removed a long time prior to the time that the
law under which this Infomation was drawn went into effect. Mr.
Stewart, in his affidavit, stated that on May 26, 1935, as soon as
he received the information contained in the affidavit of Miss Ryan,
he immediately got in touch with Mr. Setchel, a gun expert in the
employ of Hibbard, Spencer and Bartlett Company and was informed
that his company hed discontinued keeping any record of any serial
numbers of guns similar to the one od fered in evidence in this case
and had no record of the purchase of any rifle similar to the one
involved. In this affidavit Mr. Stewart states that Mr. Setchel
explained to him the manner in which serial numbers were placed
inside of guns of this model and thereafter affiant went to Waukegan
and in the wesence of the State's Attorney inspected the gun and
found that it bore on the inside in two places and also stamped on tke

af the stock, serial No. 64523. That affiant thereupon wired the
manufacturers at Bridgeport, Connecticut, requesting the name
of the dealer and date of sale of this gun as shown by the records
of that Company, but was informed by the company that it lad not
kept such a record for several years. By this affidavit it also
appears that Mr. Stewart was not affarded an opportunity of
examining the gun prior to the trial.
The only suggestion made by counsel in connection with the
showing made by plaintiffs in error for a new trial on the gound
of newly discovered evidence is that the witness for the People
who testified that the serial number of this gun did not appear
on the inside of this model was mistaken, as the subsequent
examination of the gun demonstrated. Neither this fact or any
other matter contained in the affidavits of Lillian Ryan a@
plaintiffs in error's distinguished counsel would have warranted
the trial cow t in awarding a new trial.
This record is free from reversible error and the judgment
of the County Court of Lake County is affirmed.
JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.

MARTHA C. HEDRICK
ROSS H. HEDRICK
Witness"
On July 5, 1930, Ross Hedrick renewed his $1,000.00 note and
on October 3, 1930 he again renewed it, delivering the renewal notes
to the Exchange National Bank. On August 26, 1930, the $6,000.00
note was renewed by Ross Hedrick and these instruments and the
$2250.00 note executed by Ross Hedrick and his mother Martha Cc.
Hedrick upon which his mother had paid $750.00 on October 9, 1930
were held by the Exchange Natkonal Bank of Polo when it went into
liquidation prior to October 20, 1930. Subsequently The First
National Bank of Polo, Illinois was organized, and on October 20,
1930 some of the assets of the Exchange National Bank were, for a
valuable consideration, duly assigned and transferred by the Exchange
—
Netional Bank to the First National Bank of Polo. A mong the
—
assets so assigned were these notes of Ross Hedrick and his mother
and this instrument of guaranty dated July 2, 1950. On February 28,
1931 Ross Hedrick executed and delivered to the First National Bank
of Polo his note for $6,000.00 in renewal of his former note for a
like amount, and on May 19, 1931 executed and delivered to The First
National Bank of Polo his note for $1500.00 representing the balance
due on the note which had been signed by himself and his mother.
Subsequently Martha C. Hedrick died and The Fyrst National Bank of
Polo having gone into the hands of a Receiver, appellee, as such
Receiver, filed in the County Court of Ogle County its claim against
her dutete. The claim as filed had attached thereto a copy of the
: note of February 28, 1931 for $6,600.00 and a copy of the note of
| May 19, 1931 for $1500.00, and recited that the amount represented
P by these notes wes due and unpaid and is a claim against the estate
of Martha G. Hedrick because she guaranteed to the Exchange National

Bank of Polo, assignor of The First National Bank of Polo, the pay-
ment thereof, The claim then set forth the guaranty verbatim and
stated that the original notes were made payable to the Exchange
National Bank, but tefore they became due they were purchased, with
other assets, by the First National Bank of Polo and were renewed
in the name of The First National Bank.
In order to reduce Ross's indebtedness to the maximum sum
allowed by law and thus permit the newly organized First National Bank
to take over his notes as assets, Martha Hedrick executed and de-
livered to the First National Bank her note for $1750.00. Approximately
a year later the First National Bank tock judgment ageinst Ross upon
his several notes and this resulted in Ross filing a voluntary peti«
tion in bankruptcy and he was subsequently edjudged a bankruot. The
Hearing in the County Court resulted in a judgment for the Adminis-
trator and upon an appeal to the Circuit Court a jury was waived
and a judgment rendered in favor of the claimant for $6492.41, and
the Administrator of the Estate of Martha Hedrick, deceased, brings
the record to this court for review by appeal.
Appellant first insists that this was a conditional guaranty
on the part of Marthe ¢. Hedrick and unless and until the Exchange
National Bank advanced or loaned additional money to Ross Hedrick,
she was not liable upon this instrument. That the word "advancements"
as therein used meant future loans and that inasmuch as the evidence
disclosed that no additional sums were loaned Ross Hedrick, the
guaranty was without consideration.
In the construction of contracts, courts will give to the
language employed the meaning intended by the parties. At the time
this instrument was executed Ross Hedrick was indebted to the Bank
in the sum of $9250.00 as therein stated. The Bank wanted this loan
secured. When two of the notes matured, Martha Hedrick signed them
with her son and the guaranty was obtained in order to obviate the

necessity of having the mother sign each note or a renewal thereof
as they became due. At the time the assets of the Exchange Bank
were transferred to the newly organized First National Bank, Mrs.
Hedrick gave her further note in order to reduce the indebtedness
of her son. In our opinion this guaranty was absolute and uncon-
ditional. It recited that Ross Hedrick owed the Exchange Bank
$2250.00 at the time the instrument was signed. It contained an
absolute, unqualified guaranty on the part of Mrs. Hedrick to pay
the notes evidencing that amount. The notes evidencing these
amounts were canceled and surrendered and new instruments extending
the time of payment thereof were executed by Ross and accepted by the
Bank, This guaranty was assigned, for a valuable consideration, by
the Exchange Bank to the First National Bank, and thereafter the First
National Bank, relying upon this instrument and being the beneficiary
thereof, surrendered to Ross the notes which he had executed to the
Exchange Bank, and accepted from himnew notes due at future dates.
The principal debtor became a bankrupt and the indebtedness having
matured, the estate of the guarantor is liable therefor. Any act which
ts a benefit to one party and a disadvantazce to the other is a val-
uable consideration. Schlatter v. Triebel, 284 Ill. 412; Pedaple v.
Commercial Life Insurance Co., 247 Ill, 92; Buchanan v. International
Bank, 78 Ill. 500; Byrch v. Hubbard, 148 Ill. 164. Martha Hedrick
executed and delivered this guaranty to the Exchange National Bank
in lieu of executing renewal notes as the several notes of her son
which the bank then held became due. Mrs. Hedrick knew of the in-
debtedness of her son to the bank. She must have gonsidered it to
be to her advantage to assume the obligation ccnteined in this in-
strument by reason of which the bank did not press her son for pay-
ment or require her signature to the renewal notes, but was content
to meky rely upon her guaranty instead, and this benefit to Mrs.
Hedrick and the corresponding disadvantage to the bank constituted

the consideration for the execution of this guaranty.
This instrument of guaranty, while not negotiable, could be
assigned so as to give the assignee an equitable title thereto, and
it passed as an incident to the assignment of the notes, 28 ¢. J.
943. Usually the transfer of a debt carries with it, as an incident,
all the securities which the assignor may have for its payment.
SR. Cc. L. 979. The assignment of these notes by the Exchange Bank
to the First National Bank carried with it the guaranty, and vested
in the assignee a right to sue upon the guaranty in its own name.

IN THE
APPELLATE C OURT OF ILLINOIS

October Term, AD. 1952.
Lawrence H. Williams, Admr. of the
Estate of Stanley Buches, degeased,
Plaintiff in Error,
VSe irror to Circuit Court,
MeHenry County.
Chicago and Northwestern Railway
Company, a carporation,
Defendant in error.
HUFFMAN =J 5
This writ of error is prosecuted by plaintiff in error, as
administrator of the estate of Stanley Buches, from the giving by
the trial court of a peremptory instruction at the close of all
the evidence, on behalf of the defendant in error,
The case arose out of e railroad crossing aecident which
occurred in the city of Harvard, in MeHenry county, Illinois,
on October 24, 1929, at about six o'clock in the evening.
The tracks of defendant in error, hereinafter called defendant,
at the crossing in question consisted of two main tracks and seven
switch tracks. The min tracks were in the center of the crossing
with three switch tracks on one side and four upon the other. State
Highway number nineteen and twenty-three intersect and join about
one mile south of this erossing. The tracks at the crossing run
in an east and west direction and the state highway rus north and
south. On the evening in question plaintiff's intestate was driving
his automobile north upon the above hishway. When he came to this
erossing, the same was blocked by a switch engine and a train af
freight cars. The deceased brought his car to a stop. Two motor
vehicles were between his car and this crossing. The first of these
was a truck. Immediately in front of the deceased's car was a

passenger car. Cars were also lined up on the north side of the
crossing, waiting an opportunity to proceed south. Defendant's
switch engine was stending with the freight cars upon the main
track that is desigmted as the north main track, upon which east
bound traffie was carried. Defendant's main track upon which west
bound traffic is carried is on the south side of this track upon
which the freight train was standing. This south main track must
first be crossed by deceased tefore he could cross the track upon
which the train of freight cars was standing,
Defendant company had a watchman or crossing flagman at this
crossing, who was in possession cf a red lantern and who was direct-
ing traffie at that time. He had stopped the traffic on account of
the switeh engine and train of freight cars that were then across
tne crossing. About five minutes after the truck had stopped, the
switching crew cut the train of freight cars for the purpose of
opening the crossing to traffic. The locomotive pulled the cars
to which it was attached, far enough to clear the crossing, where=-
upon defendant's crossing flagman or watchman, walked out upon the
crossing, looked to the east and west, and then with his red lantern
Signaled the ears on both sides of the crossing to proceed. The
three cars upon the south side of the crossing, which were headed
by the truek, proceeded to cross over the tracks. The evidence
shows that they proceeded together as one car, with about four
feet between cach car, and that they moved in this manner upon and
across the tracks of defendant company. Cars from the north side
were crossing to the south. When the deceased reached the defendant's
south main track upon which the west bound traffic was carried, his
ear was struck by a fast passenger train and he was killed. The
erossing watchman did not see the approach of this train when he
Signalled the traffic to proceed across the crossing. He does claim

that he saw the passenger train before it struck the deceased's
ear and that he blew a whistle and called to the deceased in an
effort to warn him. The deceased was then upon the tracks
following the cars in front of him. Defendant's crossing watch-
mn was standing upon the west side of the highway, and a car
passing directly in front of him from the north side of the
erossing to the south, prevented his going to the east side of
the highway where the deceased was traveling.
The peremptory instruction was siven to the jury on behalf
of the defendant upon the grounds that plaintiff's intestate was
guilty of such contributory negligence as to bar a recovery.
Defendant's servant, the crossing watehman @ flagman, in charge
of this crossing was there for the purpose of warning traffic of
approaching danger. ‘The train of freight cars was cut in @ der
to open this crossing to the traffic that was then passing over
the crossing. Upon the cutting of the train of freight cars,
defendant's servant walked out into the crossing and looked to
see if the tracks were clear, and thereupon gave the signal for
traffic to cross. Plaintiff's intestate was in the act of cross-
ing pursuant to the signal of defendant's watchman. In the absence
of any independent knowledge of danger upon his part, he had the
right to rely upon the directiions as given him by defendant's
servant, who was stationed there for that particular purpose.
C & A Ry. Co. v. Winters 175 Ill. 293, 303; C & A Ry. Cow Ve
Gore 202 Til. 188. After a careful review of this case we are of
the opinion that sufficient questions of fact were involved as to
the negligence of deflendant's servant and that of plaintiff's
intestate, as to require a submission thereof to a jury.
The motion of the defendant in error herein, the defendant
below, for a peremptory instruction should have been denied, and
the evidence should have been submitted to the jury.
The judgment is therefore reversed and the cause remanded.
Reversed and remanded.

HOW of 2UTSUG
Gen. No. 8579 Agenda No. 12
IN THE
APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS
SECOND DISTRICT
Februsry Term, AY’. 1933.
Luella Hollenbeck and
Hildegard Hollenbeck,
Appellees,
Appeal from County Court,
Vs. Grundy County.
Grundy County National
Bank,
Appellant.
HUFFMAN-J.
On January 25, 1952, appellant took judgment by confession
in the County Court of Grundy County against William Hollenbeck,
upon a note in the principal sum of $1250. William Hollenbeck
and his wife lived on a farm near the city of Seneca. Appellees
herein are their two daughters.
Hildegard Hollenbeck works for the Western Electric Co., at
Chieago, where she has been employed sine 1923. Luella Hollenbeck
teaches school in Grundy County, and lives at home with her parents
on the farm. She began teaching in September 1928.
Pursuant to the aforesaid judsment by appellant against
William Hollenbeck, execution issued end the sheriff levied upon
certain livestock, consisting of horses, cows, brood sows, calves,
pigs and sheep; and also upon corn, harness, wagons,and divers
farming implements. Appellees served notice upon the sheriff that
they claimed the ownership to certain of the live stock levied
upon, and this case was a trial of the rights of property in such
livestock, before the judge of the County Court of Grundy county.
It appears from the evidence offered by appellees that they
had advanced money to their mother to the extent of $850, and that
on October 15, 1929, the mother in consideration of the money so
advanced by appellees, signed and delivered to them the followir
paper:

"Seneca, Illinois
October 15, 1929
Sold to Hildegard and Tuas Hollenbeck
8 head of cows and 2 brood sows for the sum
of 5830.00 which I have reeeived during the
last 4 years.
Carrie Hollenbeck."
It is not disputed that appellees advanced the money as
claimed, The evidence further shows thet appellee, Luella
Hollenbeck, advanced money to buy the grey mare named, "Betty."
She claims to own this mare and a colt which is an offspring.
After hearing the evidence, the court found in favor of appellees
with reference to the above mare and colt, seven milk cows and
six calves which were offsprings, six brood sows and forty-six
pigs, by virtue of the foregoing instrument; and ardered a writ
of retorno to issue as to such livestock, Appellant brings this
appeal from the judgment of the court herein.
Appellant urges that the bill of sale was invalid, that it
should have been acknowledged and recorded, that the same was
void as to appellant, that the burden was upon appellees to
establish superior title to appellant, and that in this, they
failed. Ona trial of the right of property under the statute,
the burden is upon appellees to prove their right to the property,
and they are bound to show that the property belongs to them and
is not subject to sale upon execution . Appellees stated positively
that this livestock belonged to them. It appears that the farm upon
which they lived belonged to the mother. No one disputes the mother's
ownership of the animals covered by her bill of sale, and no one
disputes Luella's claim that she advanced the money with which to
purchase the grey mare.
It appears by appellant's evidence that the father, William
Hollenbeck, made a property statement to appellant on January 31,
1931, showing a net worth of $7395, and that the sum of #1653 in
such statement was represented by livestock. Thereis nothing to

show that appellees had any notice or knowledge of this property
statement made by William Hollenbeck to appellant. The bill of
sale from the mother to appellees for the livestock in question
was made on October 15, 1929. The note upon which judgment was
taken against the father was dated October 26, 1931. The execution
of the bill of sale by the mother to appellees was too remote to
the execution of the note by the father, to attribute a wronsful
intention on the part of the mother and appellees.
Appellees both reeeived a substantiah monthly salary. It is
not unusual that they should advance money to their mother as
claimed in this case, nor is it uncommon for them to leave the
livestock together with its offspring, upon the farm.
The trial court saw the witnesses and ward them testify.
Appellant offered no evidence to impugm the acts and conduct of
the motther and appellees. Appellees swore the animals in questbon
belonged to them, and no witness disputes their claim. Upon tl
whole of the record we are not prepared to say that the judgment
of the trial cow t is contrary to the law or against the weight
of the evidence.
The judgment of the County Court of Grundy County is there-
fore affirmed.
Judement affirmed.

IN THE
APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS
SECOND DISTRICT
February Term, A.D. 1934.
Harris Brothers Company,
a Delaware Corporation,
Appellant,
Appeal from Circuit Court,
VSe Will County.
Hinkamp & Company, et al.,
Appellees,
HUFFMAN<=d.6
Appellant on June 25, 1950, filed its bill in the Circuit
Court of Will county, to foreclose a mechanics lien. The
matter remained on the docket without a hearing until on May 8,
1931, when appellees filed their motion to require appellant
to obtain service on Hinkamp & Co., and on other necessary
parties, within such time that the court might have the jurisdict-
ion to proceed with the hearing of the cause during the September
term, 1931, thereof, and that upon failure of appellant to so
complete service as aforesaid, the bill be dismissed as without
equity. The court entered its order directing appellant to
obtain service as prayed in appellees’ motion.
On October 13, 1931, the court found that appellant had
failed to canplete service on Hinkamp & Co., as previously
ordered on May 8Sth., and dismissed the bill of complaint as
without equity. Appellant thereafter filed its petition to
vacate the above order dismissing its bill. Upon motion of
appellees made on February 2, 1933, the petition of appellant
as above filed, was set for hearing on February 15, 1933.
Upon a hearing of the matter on that date, the court took
same under advisement and on Juve 7, 1933, entered its order
denying the petition of appellant to vacate the order of court
entered on October 15, 1931, dismissing the bill of complaint

as without equity. Appellant excepted to this ruling and
prosecutes this appeal.
Appellant insists that this appeal is directed toward
the dismissing of the suit for failure to prosecute with
diligence. Appellees insist that the only question for review
is the order of the court refusing to vacate a previous order,
and that this is the only alleged error covered by appellant's
assignment of errors. Appellant assigns error that the denial
of its motion to set aside the dismissal order of October 135th.,
was an abuse of the court's judicial discretion.
The motion of appellees filed on May 8, 19351, to eanpel
appellant to complete service was made under sec. 11 of the
Lien Act, and the order entered thereon was entered pursuant
to such section of said act. The pertinent portion of this
section provides as follows: "The complainant or petitioner
shall make all parties interested, of whose interest he is
notified or has knowledge, parties defendant, and summons shall
issue and service thereof be had as in suits in chancery; and
when any defendant resides or has gone out of the state, or on
inguiry can not be found, or is concealed within this state,
so that process can not be served on him, the complainant or
petitioner shall cause a notice to be given to him in like
manner and upon the same conditions as is provided in suits
in chancery, and his failure to so act with regard to summons
or notice shall be ground for judgment or decree against him
as upon the merits. The same rule shall prevail with cross-
petitioners with regard to any person of whose interest they
have knowledge, and who are not already parties to the suit or
action." Sec. 21, ch. 110 Cahill's St. 1951, contains a
somewhat similar provision in regard to suits in equity.

The substance of appellant's contentions is that the
Court in its dismissal of this action was guilty of an ebuse
of judicial discretion. Tc go into a discussion of the dispute
of the parties herein upon this question would unduly extend
this opinion and serve no good purpose. ‘We have examined the
record and the evidence in this respect, and we do not fhna
therefrom that the trial court committed an abuse of its
discretion, as claimed by appellant. Courts must necessarily
be clothed with some latitude in handling the business that
comes before them; end in the dispatch of such business,
matters within the discretionary powers of the court, will
not be interferred with upm review, unless an abuse of such
discretion appears to have been committed. The authorities
on this point are abundant.
Finding no reversible error in the record, the order and
decree of the trial court is affirmed.
Order and decree affirmed.

IN THE
APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS
SECOND DISTRICT
February Term, A.D. 1934,
M. H.Fitzsimmons,
Appellee,
Appeal from Circuit Court,
VS. MeHenry County.
William Cowan, et al.,
(Fred Siebel,
Appellant )
HUF FMAN+-J.
This appeal is prosecuted by appellant from the order
of the Circuit Court of McHenry county entered therein pur-
suant to the mandate and specific directions of the appellate
Court, wherein this cause was reversed and remmed with
directions, in the case of li. H. Fitzsimmons, appellee, v.
William Cowan, et al., defendant, Fred Siebel, appellant,
265 Ill. App. 660. The question in that appeal was the dis-
position of the sum of $1107.96 held by the Master, and for
which appellant and the MeHenry County State Bank, (now
Woodstock Natioal Bank) were contending.
The only question involved in this appeal is whether
the lower court entered its decree in conformity with the
mandate and directions of the Appellate Court, as made at
the time this case was reversed and remanded as aforesaid.
In the opinion of the Appellate Court reversing and
renanding this eause, it was provided that appellant should
receive from the master the sum of $1000, and also the value
of the dower right of Magzie Cowan in the balance of $107.96,
and that the lower court determine the value of such dower
right by reference to standard mortality tables. The dower
right was fixed and determined at $35.98, and no camplaint

is made of the camputation of this item. Appellant objects
herein because of the fact that the Circuit Court of McHenry
county in entering its decree under the directions of the
opinion of the Appellate Court, did not allow said appellant
interest upon the above sum of money.
We have examined the opinion of the Appellate Court in
the above case wherein this cause was reversed and remanded
with directions to the lower court, and the mandate as issued
therein. There is no provision for the payment of any money
to appellant under the decree to be entered by the said Circit
Court, except the sum of $1000 and the said Maggie Cowan's
dower right in the balance of 3107.96.
Where a judgment is reversed «nd the cause is remanded,
with specific directions as to the action to be taken by the
trial court, it is the duty of that court to follow those
directions, and it cannot err in doing so. Trustees of Schools
ve Hoyt, 318 Ill. 60. Upon appeal fra the decree of a lower
court so entered, the only question presented on such appeal,
is whether the decree is in accordance with the mandate and
directios of the court of review. Trustees of Schools v.
Hoyt, supra; Smith v. Dugser 318 T1l. 215; Wolkau v. Wolkau
217 Ill. App. 471, 474; Dunlap v. Pierce, 260 Ill. App. 149,
154; Ry. Equipment Co. v. Brell€-Beam Co., 259 I11, 111, 115.
From an examination of the opinion of the Appellate Court
entered in the above case, we find that the lower court was
directed to enter its decree providing for the payment of $1000
to said appellant, together with the dower interest as aforesaid
in the sum of $107.96, which amounts were the final balances
found to be due to said appellant. The Circuit Court had no
power to enter any other decree.
The judgment of the Circuit Court, mrely carrying into
execution the judgnent of the Appellate Court, was the only
judgment which the Circuit Court had any authority to enter,
and the same is affirmed.

Ae L,. Fogle, Receiver,
Defendant in =Zrror,
Error to Circuit Court,
vs. Ogle County.
Charles E. Hayes,
Plaintiff in Error.
HUFFMAN-J.
Defendant in error was appointed receiver in a foreclosure
proceeding for a certain eighty acre tract of land. He qualified
as such receiver. This land at the time was rented to a tenant
by the name of King, who had the premises rented for the perid
from March 1, 19351, to March 1, 1932, at the sum of $5.00 per
acre, cash rental. King sold his crops upon this tract of land
to plaintiff in error in June 1931. King had not paid the rent.
The evidence shows the rent was to be paid in tw equal install-
ments.
Defendant in error called upon plaintiff in error about the
payment of this rent upon several occasions, at which times te
discussed with plaintiff in error the payment of the same. He
states that plaintiff in error said that he was to pay the rent
but it wasn't due yet; that it was cash rent of $5.00 an acre
making a total of $400. Defendant in error claims that plaintiff
in error agreed upon various times he would pay the rent, that
half would be due December 1, 1931, and half due March 1, 1952.
It appears fram the evidence thst plaintiff in error later refused
to pay defendant in error the rent, claiming that he had no in-
formation or proof that defendant in error was the receiver and
entitled to collect same. The evidence shows that defendant in

error then submitted his credentials to plaintiff in error
at which time plaintiff in error deferred psyment stating
that he did not know whether defendant in error was the proper
party to whom he should pay the rent. The evidence shows re-
peated trips by defendant in error to see plaintiff in error,
and conversations be tween them regarding the payment of this rent.
Plaintiff in error received the crops but did not pay the
rent, and his testimony upon the trial of this cause is highly
unsatisfactory as to any reason for not paying it. He claims
that defendant in error upon his visits, "never threatened to
go into court," with the account. The rent was not paid and
the plaintiff in error offered no legal reason why he should not
pay it.
This suit was originally instituted in a Justice of the
Peace court where defendant in error herein, recovered a judgment
for the sum of $400 as rent upon these premises. Plaintiff in
error herein, appealed from that judement to the Cireuit Court
of Ogle County, where a jury was waived and the cause was tried
before the Court. The Court rendered judgnent in favor of
defendant in error and against plaintiff in error for $400
and costs. From an examination of this record we are of tle
opinion that the judgnent of the trial court was correct, and
the same is hereby affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.

IN THE
AVPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS
SECOND DISTRICT
February Term, A.D, 1954.
Leslie C. Morgan, Supervisor for
and on behalf of Township of Bonus,
Boone County, Illinois,
Appellee,
Appeal from the Circuit
VS. Court, Boone County.
The Estate of A. Gates White,
Deceased,
Appellant.
| HUFFMAN-J.
A, Gates white, deceased, had been a former supervisor of
the township of Bonus, in Boone County, Illinois,and as such
officer had custody and charge of the township funds and of the
road and bridge funds of said town. He died, having in his
possession a balance of $3698.95, belonging to said township.
Appellee herein succeeded said deceased as supervisor of said
township, and appellee as such supervisor for and on behalf of
said township filed a claim against the estate of said deceased
for $2838.25, being the above amount less a credit of $860.70 receiv-
ed from said estate.
There is no dispute that the deceased had the money in his
hands at the time of his death. The only question involved in
this case is whether the claim as filed by appellee, in his
capacity as supervisor for and on behalf of said township of
Bonus, was sufficient to entitle the court to allow same against
said estate. The claim was filed by appellee in the County Court
of said county, in words and figures as follows:

Leslie C. Morgan, supervisor for and on behalf
of the Township of Bonus, Boone County, Illinois,
being duly sworn on oath says that the annexed claim
against the estate of A. Gates White, deceased, amount-
ing to the sum of $2,838.25 is just after allowing all
just claims, and is now due and unpaid

The above claim referred to in said affidavit is’
founded as follows: To amount of trust funds entrusted
to said decedent, who was for a number of years super-
visor for said township, county, and State, and at the
time of his death had said funds in his possession be-
longing to said township as follows:
Township RUPE b 6.5; wierels a wreeliw eevee $2,457 «27
Road and bridge fund......... 1,261.68
Total e@eoeeseevpeoeevvseaeveaeeeee $5,698.95
Less credit received from the estate of 4. Gates
White which has been credited on the township fund,
said payment was in the sum of $860.70, leaving the
account as follows:
Due trust fund on account of the
road and bridge fund ...seeeese- $1,261.68
Balance due on trust fund on
account of township fund ....... 1,576.57
Total @eseeoervoeeopeoa@e*eeenstkeee8e2sd 2,858.25"
Objections were made to the claim in the County Court by
the Second National Bank of Belvidere, which claimed to have
judgments amounting to $4418.35; and by the Peoples Bank of
Belvidere, which claimed to have a judgment for $2782; and by the
Keene Belvidere Canning Co., which claimed to have a judgment
of $9830.72; and by the Farmers State Bank o Belvidere, which
had filed a claim against said estate to the sum of $15,000;
and by the administrator of the estate of the said A. Gates White,
deceased. The position of the objectors was that there was nothing
in said claim to show who presented it or upon whose behalf it was
presented; and further challenging the right of appellee to file
the claim for and on behalf of the township, and urging that the
same was improperly filed and should have been filed in the name of

the Township of Bonus. The County Court allowed the claim as
of the fourth class. The objectors took an appeal to the Circuit
Court of said county. The Circuit Court allowed the claim as of
the fourth class, to be paid in due coursé of administration.
The above objectors have now brought this appeal from the judgment
of the Circuit Court of Boone County.
An examination of the claim and affidavit as made thereto
by appellee in this case, leaves no question as to the purpose
of the filing of the claim, or upon whose behalf the claim is
filed. It sets out the amounts the deceased supervisor had, both
in the road and bridge fund and in the township fund, at the time
of his death. It further appears from the claim that these were,
"trust funds entrusted to said decedent, who was for a number of
years supervisor for said township, county, and state, and at the
time of his death had said funds in his possession belonging to
said township ***,"
Appellee is the proper custodian of the money due under the
claim filed herein. A question similar to the one now urged by
appellant, that all suits or proceedinzs of this kind and character
must be brought in the name of the town, was under cors id erati on
in the case of Highway Comrs. v. Bloomington, 255 Til. 164. The
court with reference to this question on mge 167 of its opinion
uses the following language: "The appellant contends that this
suit was improperly brought in the name of the cammissioners of
hivhways; that the suit should have been brought either in the
name of the town, under paragraph 46 of chapter 139 of Hurd's
Statutes of 1909, or in the name of the township treasurer, for the
reason that the money, being public funds belonging to the township,
would be payable to such treasurer. There is no force in this
objection. The township is the beneficial plaintiff and real
claimant of the money sued for. A recovery of a judgment and a
satisfaction thereof in the present action would be a bar to any
further action, either in the name of the town or any other agent
thereof, for this cause of action."

Furthermore we do not understand that the presentation of
a claim against an estate need conform to common law practice
or be presented in the technical legal form which applies to
suits at law. Thomson v. Black, 200 Ill, 465, 468.
Some criticism might be offered as to the form and manner
in which the claim filed herein, was drawn; but as above stated
we do not understand that the same strictness is required ina
proceeding of this kind with reference to the technital manner
and form of the written claim, as is required in suits af law.
There can be no doubt as to the purpose of the claim and upon
whose behalf it is filed. We are of the opinion that a payment
and satisfaction of this claim, would be a bar to any further
action, either in the name of the town or any other agent thereff.
The judgment of the Circuit Court of Boone County is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.

February Term, A.D. 1934,
Wiliiam C. Hubbell,and the
First National Bank of
Libertyville, a corporation,
Trustee,
Appeal from Circuit Court,
Anpellant Lake County.
VS.
Mary C. DeVault, et al.,
Appellees.
HUFIMAN-J,
This is an action Wein by appellees to foreclose a trust
deed and five notes secured thereby, executed by appellants The
trust deed and notes bore date of August 12, 1928, and were due
three years after date.
The defense urged by appellants upon the hearing of this
cause, was that each o the five notes after its execution by
appellants, had been materially altered and changed by appellees,
@ some one on their behalf and at their direction, without
appellants’ knowledge or consent; by causing to be stamped
upon the face @ each of said notes the following words: "The
makers hereof reserve the privilege of paying this note on any
interest day, upon giving to the trustee sixty days previous
notice in writing and payiag a premium of 2% of the amount of
the principal thereof." The abare statement was stamped upon
each note by way of a rubber stamp, and was placed on each note
immediately above the first line provided for the signature of
the said makers. Mary C. DeVault was the first signer upon
each note and her signature extends into and through the wording
place thereon by the rubber stamp. It is insisted by appellants

that this red stamp placed upon each note as aforesaid is super-
imposed upon the signature of the said Mary C. DeVault, thereby
demonstrating the fact that the said stamp had been placed upon
the several notes after their execution. ‘The color of the rubber
stamp upon the notes is referred to by appellants as red. It is
in fact of a purple color, but for convenience herein we shall
hereafter refer to the same as red. Appellants urged that by
virtue of Sees. 145 and 146 ch. 98 Cahill's St. 1931, the alleged
alteration rendered the notes and trust deed void, and therefore
they are not liable thereunder.
The cause was heard by the Chancellor and he decreed fore-
closure as prayed. Appellants prosecute this appeal uping
for reversal the above alleged alteration of the notes by the
placing of the red stamp thereon.
Complainants’ exhibit nine was an application for loan of
five thousand dollars for three years and contained the follow-
ing clause: "Prepayments: any note callable at 102 on any inter-
est date on sixty days prior notice." Complainants’ exhibit ten
was the application for extension of this loan, signed by appel-
lants and contained the following clause: "Prepayments: any note
callable at 102 on any interest date on sixty days prior notice.”
An extension agreement was entered into pursuant to the above
application therefor.
The trust deed herein was mailed to Helmer, Molten, Whitman,
and Holten, attorneys, in Chicago, for execution. It was recorded
before it was returned to the office of appellees, The notes were
mailed directly to Mrs. Mary C. DeVault, in Chicago, and she re-
turned them to the office of appellees, in person. From the time
the trust deed and notes were prepared and mailed as above, for
execution, they were never back in the office of appellees, or in
the hands of any one representing appellees, until after they had
been executed, and the trust deed recorded.
The trust deed recites: “The grantors herein reserve the

privilege of paying any of the notes above described, on any
interest day, upon giving to the trustee, sixty days previous
notice in writing, and paying a premium of 2% of the amount of
the principal thereof." It is admitted by the appellants that
the alleged alteration of the trust deed by the incorporation
therein of the above quoted words, was not made after the re-
cording of said trust deed.
William C. Hubbell testified he prepared the notes and that
the ted stamp upon the fact of each note was placed thereon when
the notes were prepared and before they were mailed for execution,
Elsie Huss, an employee of the attorney of appellee bank, testi-
fied she prepared the trust deed and that it was in the same
condition at the time of the hearing as it was at the time she
prepared it, except for the signatures and the filing mark.
Florence Klepper, an employee of appellee, states she paw the
trust deed and notes before they were executed, that she checked
them before they left the bank, and after they were executed and
returned. She states that the red stamp was upon the notes before
they left the bank, and that she mailed them directly to Mrs. De
Vault in Chicago, for execution, and that they are in the same
condition now as they were at the time she mailed them, except
for the sienatures. She states that the above clause was in the
trust deed.
The above wording as it appears in the trust deed, undoubtedly
was written with the same typewriter that was used to prepare
the instrument. livery indication points to this fact. Hach
member of this court examined the red stamp as placed upon the
several notes, with reference to the signature of Mary C. DeVault,
which extends into and through the wording of said stamp, in many
places. This examination was made with an excellent magnifying
glass, free from distortion, and from such examination this court
was of the unanimous opinion that the signature of Mary C. DeVault
is superimposed upon the red stamp, and not the red stamp super-
imposed upon her signature. The trial court also used a glass in

Galesburg Horse and Mule Co.,
a corporation of Galesburg,
Illinois, et al,
Appellants.
HUF FMAN=J «
This was a suit by appellee against appellant based upon
the common counts, including the count for money had and received.
Trial by jury was had in the Circuit Court of Knox County. The
jury returned a verdict in favor of appellee for the amount claimed,
and judgment was entered thereon. Appellant prosecutes this appeal
from the judgment of that court,
Appellee lives in Ontario, New York. Appellant corporation

Appellee used Charles Mills as his buyer and field man in the
purchase and sale of horses. The said Mills lives in Coldwater,
New York. He states that he had no interest in the horses and
that appellee furnished the money with which to buy game. Appellee
and Mills were both acquainted with the managing officers of
appellant corporation, Mills had done business upon his own
accord with the appellant for seven years. He had also done
business for appellant on behalf of Mr. Roach who is the president
thereof. Mills was personally indebted to appellant in the sum @

purpose of buying horses. Appellee had a draft payable to his
order for $1000 issued by his bank in Ontario, New York. He and

of Fairfield. The banks in that town were closed and appellee
eould not get his draft cashed. A sight draft was drawn by these
parties upon appellant company for the sum of $280 to pay for these
horses, The horses were then transported to appellant's barns by-
one of its trucks, together with five other horses that had been
purchased by one ‘filton Preston.
J, Le Roach was president, F. L, Meeker vice-president and
R.B. Sharp secretary anc treasurer, of appellant company. These
men were in the active management of the business. The next day
after the horses had been purchased in Iowa, the parties returmd
to Galesburg where they talked with Mr. Sharp and Mr. Meeker regard-
ing the transaction of the previous day. Appellee at this time
owed a balance on account to apovellant of $379, upon which Mr. Sharp
had entered a credit of 865, reducing the balance to $314. Mills
had sold a team of horses for appellee for $225 and save appellant
a check for this amount to apply upon appellee's account. This
reduced appellee's balance to $89.
Appellee wanted to return home, and claims that he left Mills
at Galesburg in possessim of the $1000 draft for the purpose of
buying more horses to ship east. Appellee claims he had an under-=
standing with Mr. Sharp and Mr. Meeker, of appellant ompany, that
he would leave the $1000 draft with Mills for the purpose of pur-
chasing more horses, and to pay the balance of $89 which he owed
appellant. He claims that Sharp gave him his pen to indorse the
draft to leave with Mills for the purchase of the horses and the
payment of the balance of his account. Milto Preston lives in
Wheaton, New York, and he had the five horses at appellant's barn,
which he had purchased. He was going home because of his father's
death, and appellee was returning with him. Appellee left the
draft with Mills, and Mills left the draft with the officers of
appellant company. Appellant company deposited the draft to its
eredit and credited the personal account of Mills therefor.

Whereupon appellee instituted this suit as aforesaid for the
recovery of the proceeds from the said draft less the balance
of S89 owed by him to appellant.
The evidence of Milis, the appellee, and Preston is to the
effect that appellant's officers knew and understood the draft
was the property of appellee and that he left it with Mills for
the purpose of buying horses for him, to be shipped out with those
already purchased by himself and Preston, and which were then at
appellant's barns. The officers of appellant company admit con-
versations were had at these times claimed by appellee, but deny
knowledge that appellee left the draft for the purpose claimed.
This was a question of fact to be determined by the jury. Where
the evidence is conflicting, and that of appellee when considered
alone fairly authorizes the verdict, the same will not be disturbed.
It is the province of the jury to weigh and consider the evidence,
determine the credibility of the witnesses and the weight to te
given their testimony; and unless the verdict is contrary to the
weight of the evidence a court of review will not substitute its
judgement for that of the jury and reverse a case merely because the
evidence is emflicting. Appellant's objection that the verdict is
against the weight of the evidence is not well taken.
Appellant claims of appellee's given instructions five, six and
seven. We have examined these instructions and we do not emsider
the cbjection as made thereto constitutes reversible error, The
question in this case is whether the appellant had knowledge of
appellee's title and ownership to the draft and the purpose for which
it had been left by him with Mills, as claimed, at the time they re-—
ceived the same from Mills. From an examination of the record we are
of the opinion that the jury was fairly and properly instructed as
to the law, and that their verdict is not the result of passion @&
prejudice and can not be said to te contrary to the manifest weight
of the evidence.
The judgnent of the Circuit Court of Knox County is affirmed.
Judgment Affirmed .

In the Appellate Gourt of Illinois
Second District
February Term, A. D. 19354
H. F. Gehant Banking Company,
Appellee,
Appeal from the Circuit Court
vig of Lee County
M. Bradshaw and Mae Bradshaw,
Appellants,
HUFFMAN-J,
Judgment by confession was taken by appellee against appellants
on October 10, 1932, in open court, in the circuit court of Lee
County, for the sum of $9241.80. Execution issued, and on October
12, 1932, service of execution was had upon each of appellanis.
Approximately one year later, and to-wit: On October 16, 1933,
appellants filed their motion to set aside the above judgment, allegt
ing lack of jurisdiction upon the part of the court to enter same.
This is the a@nly question in this appeal.
The warrant of attorney contained in said note is as follows:
"The undersigned hereby, jointly and severally,
empower any attorney of any court of record to appear
\ for them, or either or any of them, in such court in
term time or vacation, at any time hereafter and
confess a judgment without process ageinst them, or
either or any of them, in favor of the legal holder
thereof for such sum as may appear to be unpaid thereon
with interest, costs and ten per cent attorney's fees,
with minimum attorney fee of $25.00 and to waive and
: release all errors which may interven@® in such proceeding
and consent to immediate execution."
;
The cognovit contained the following language, to which
appellants object:
8 "The defendants further agree that no writ of error
or appeal shall be prosecuted on the judgment entered by
virtue hereof, nor any bill in equity filed to interfere
in any manner with the operation of judgment."
Appellants insist that the warrant of attorney included in
the note, not containing the phrase just above set out, which was
incérporated in the cognovit, the court was therefore without

jurisdiction to enter the judgment. They presented their motion to
set aside the judgment herein as aforesaid, which motion was based
solely upon an alleged lack of jurisdiction upon the part of the
court to enter samé. T,e question of any defense to the note is in
no way involved in this proceeding,
We understand the rule to be that the filing of a declaration,
note and warrant of attorney, affidavit of its execution, and cognovit,
brings the defendant before the court, and is enough to confer juris-
diction upon the court to enter judgwent. Bush v. Hanson, 70 J11l. 480.
The court in that case on page 483 of its opinion states; "It appears,
from the judgment order, that a declaration, the warrant of attorney,
and affidavit of its execution, the note and cognovit by the attorney
authorized, were filed. The defendant in the judgment was before
the court by appearance by his duly authorized attorney. A case
of jurisdiction was then presented." I+ thus appears that where a
note containing a warrant of attorney is filed with affidavit of
its execution, together with a declaration and a cognovit, the court
acquires jurisdiction to enter up a judgment. In further reference
to this matter it will be found that the Supreme Court in the case of
Fields v. Brown, 188 I11. 111, on page 113 of its opinion uses the
following language: "fhe power to confess a judgment being clearly
given in the writing signed and sealed by the appellant, the circuit
court was fully justified in accepting it as sufficient to authorize
the entry of appearance and confession of a judgment. Type filing
of the declaration, lease and warrant of attorney, and affidavit
of its execution, and cognévit, presented a case of jurksdiction. "
While it is the settled doctrine that the authority to confess
a judgment without process must be clear and explicit and strictly
pursued, yet this rule has its reasonable limitations, and must not
be applied with such strictness as to defeat the obvious intentions
of the party granting the power .Holmes v. Parker, 125 Ill. 478,481;
Sharp v. Barr, 234 Ill. App. 214, 217.

There is no pretense made here that the judgment was not confessdd
for the exact amount honestly due to appellee from appellants. The
Warrant of attorney clearly contained the power to confess judgment
against appellants at any time, in favor of the legal holxder of the
note, for such sum as was due thereon, and with a provision to waive
and release all errors which may have intervened in such proceeding
and the consent to immediate execution.
With respect to appellants! contention that the court was without
jurisdiction to enter this judgment, because of the incorporation of
the above phrase in the cognovit, which was not expressly set out in
the warrant of attorney, we are of the opinion that the following
' Cases are decisive of this question. Hansen et al v. S,hlesinger,
et al, 125 Ill. 230; Long v. Coffman, 230 Ill. App. 527. In the
Hansen case, the court on page 237 of its opinion states; "In respéct
to the other branch of the motion, unless some equitable ground was
shown, the judgment could not be set aside and the execution quashed,
(Citing cases). None has been shown in this case. There is no pre-
tense the judgment was not confessed for the exact amount honestly
due to plaintiff from defendants. If the attorney waived more than
he was authorized to do by the warrant of attorney, in respect to
defendants' right to an appeal or writ of error it is obvious it did
them no harm, for they have now had their day in court, notwithstanding
the aétion of their attorney of which complaint is made." Jn the
Long case, supra, the court on page 531 of its opinion &teates; "The
cognovit expressly released all errors in entering the judgment.
The warrant of attorney did not, in terms, authorize the attorney
to release errors, and it is contended that the powers conferred
by the instrument must be strictly pursued and that any material
deviation therefrom has the effect of rendering the judgment void.
Counsel has stated the rule of law correctly but its application
cannot be made to this case, because every confession of a judgment

ethics,
operates as a release of errors. (23 Cyc. 721). Therefore the
statement in the cognovit that all errors are releaged amounts to
nothing mare than a mere recital of what the law is and the result
is the same whether the cognovit contains such a statement or not.
Because a judgment by confession operates as a release of errors,
the law is made to provide that courts of law shall have equitable
powers in determining motions to vacate or open up such judgments
and that appeals and writs of error may be prosecuted to review the
judgment of the court in granting or denying such motions. In
addition to this the plaintiff in error has not been prejudiced
by such alleged release of errors and there is no legal or equitable
reason assigned why the judgment should be vacated on account of
such release." OCertiorari in this case was denied by the Supreme
Court.
The appellants do not question the correctness of this judgment,
er advance any legal or equitable objections to same, They urge
there was such a material deviation between the warrant of attorney
and the cognovit, as to destroy the court's jurisdiction to enter
judgment, and that therefore the same is void. We do not adopt this
view of the case.
The judgment of the circuit court herein is atfirmed,
Judgement affirmed.

IN THE
APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS
SRCOND DISTRICT
Oetober Term, AD. 19526
ANTONIA BURCAR,
Appellee,
.ppeal from the Circuit
VSe
Cowt of LaSalle County.
ALBERT L. ROBERTS,
Appellant.
PER CURIAM: =
Antcnia Burear, hereinafter referred to as appellee,
instituted this proceeding against Albert L. Roberts, hereafter
ealled appellant, in an action based on fraud and deceit, averred
to have been practiced by the appellant upon appellee in the sale
of a stock of merchandise and fixtures in a grocery store in Streator,
The declaration consists of two original and three amended counts,
in all of which it is charged that the appellant deweived and defraud-
ed appellee by misrepresenting to her the quantity and quality of the
stock of groceries sold. To the declaration the general issue was
pleaded.
It appears that in February 1926 the appellant owned a stock
of groceries in the City of Streator; that he purchased the stock
in October 1925, and that his sister irs. O'Neil and his wife
managed the store from October until the following February.
Appellee lived in Kangley, near Streator, with her sons and daughters;
one of her daughters who attended the streator High School near
the store learned the stock was for sale and on Sunday, February
14th, 1926, Ralph Burear, twenty-two years of age, and his brother
Peter, twenty-six years of age, sons of appellee, called at the
home of appellant and went with him to the store and examined the

stock, According to the theory of appellant the stock was fresh
and clean and apparently appellee was pleased with the report
made to her by her sons for on the following morning she went
to the store and remained examining the stock and observing the
trade.
The record further discloses that appellee testified that
she resolved on Monday morning to buy the stock. Appellant in-
quired whether she wanted to buy for a lump sum or on an inventory
basis. It appears that an inventory had lately been taken. Appellee
said she would not buy for a lump sum nor accept an inventory unless
it was made in her presence. She returned on Tuesday with her son
Ralph and again examined the stock and watched the trade,
It further appears that she and her said son Ralph returned
on Wednesday morning following and arranged with Mrs. O'Neil to
have an inventory of the stock taken by a disinterested outsider,
and by agreement George Page, a salesman for a wholesale grocery
house, was called and an inventory was made by him and under his
direction. Appellee and her son Ralph were present throughout the
entire taking of the inventory and Ralph assisted Page in taking
it. The inventory was largely in the handwriting of Ralph Burcar
and was in the possession of appellee from the time the inventory
was taken until the trial. The inventory of the value of the stock
was in the neighborhood of $900 and the shelves and fixtures around
$300. Appellee paid appellant the total inventory value of the
stock and fixtures on Thursday, Februsry 18th, and immediately
.
;
went into possession of the stock and the store.

The evidenee discloses on the part of appellee as well as
—————
appellant, except for a few minor exceptions, as to which there
is a conflict in the testimony, that appellee received all the
items of goods and property listed in the inventory.
It is the contention of appellee that the groceries were not

that the cans were clean and not rusty; and that the whole place
looked attractive. There is evidence in the record, however, to
the effect by appellee and her son Ralph that some time after the
Sale was made some of the goods were found to be spoiled. The
evidence of the son Raloh is that the total value of all goods
claimed to have been spoiled, including goods claimed to have been
found spoiled something like eicht months after the sale was $315.90.
The judgment was for %848.00.
It is the contention of anvpellant that the judgment of the
Circuit Court should be reversed and the cause remanded because the
evidence shows that appellee received the goods described in the
inventory and that the stock at that time was clean and fresh and
the cans free of dust; that the evidence does not prove fraud on
the part of appellant as alleged in the declaration; that the Court
admitted improper evidence which tended to confuse the jury; that
the Court erred in its instructions to the jury and that the dameges,
even if plaintiff was entitled to recover, are excessive.
On an examination of the declaration it will be found that
appellee avers that appellant deceived and defrauded her in the tw
following particulars; first, as to the cuantity of stock of groceries
in the store; that it was less than shown by the inventory; Second,
as to the quality of the stock of groceries in the store; that an
indefinite part of it was spoiled and unmerchantable.
The evidence discloses that the entire stock of groceries was
inventoried by a under the supervision of an experienced and dis-
interested wholesale grocery salesman; that the inventory was made
in the presence of appellee and her son Ralph, a young business man;
that the greater part of the inventory was in the handwriting of the
son of appellee, who assisted through out in the taking of it, and
it appears from the evidence of Ralph himself that there was no
material shortage but the items on the inventory were substantial ly
correct in so far as he could remember. Cf

The evidence offered by appellee on the question of the
quality of the goods and bearing upon the charge of fraud and
deceit is meagre. The evidence on the part of appellee on this
part of the case was given by herself and her two sons, Ralph
and Peter. They failed to testify that the stock of goods was
spoiled in whole or in part at the time of the sale. Appellee
testified that she went to the store every other day after she
bought it and that she found nothing wrong with any of the stock
until fow or five days after the purchase. The son Ralph
testified that he knew of some items of the goods which he
claimed were spoiled two days after the sale and about all of
them not later than five days after the sale. The record fails
to disclose, however, that if he did observe anything with re-
ference to there being any spoiled goods he did not disclose that
fact to his mother, the appellee.
It is also urged by appellant that the Court admitted in
evidence over his objection, a certain Exhibit. Apparently the
Exhibit was an inventory of the stock made some time prior to the
sale. It does not appear when the inventory was made, or by whom.
It is quite apparent that it had no bearing on the ease. The
record discloses that appellee testified that she refused to
accept any other inventory than her own or to deal on the basis
of any other. An inventory made at sme time prior would not show
the same goods that would be shown in an inventory made at the tim
of the purchase by appellee and to introduce ea former inventory,
especially without proof as to who made it or when it was made,
necessarily tended to mislead the jury and gave it to understand
that it should consider any discrepancies which might appear in
the two inventories in making up its verdict. We think the cowt
erred in admitting the Exhibit.
It is contended also by the appellant that the Court erred
in giving instruetion number Three. In instruction number Three,
instead of informing the jury that the masure of damages was

the difference between the value of the goods as they were and
as they were represented, the instruction informed them that they
"May allow to the plaintiff such fair and reasonable sum as will
fairly and reasonably reimburse the plaintiff for any actual
lesses *** she may have unavoiidably sustained as a direct result
of the alleged false and fraudulent statements and representations
made by the defendant to the plaintiff."
The record discloses that Ralph Burear, son of appellee, was
the only witness who testified on the subject that the total value
of all the gcods which were of inferior quality or spoiled was
5315,90. That figure would represent the difference between the
value of the goods as they were and as they were represented to
be if appellant had been guilty of fraud and deceit as averred.
The verdict was for $775.00, but it appears thst quite a considerable
length of time elapsed before judgment was rendered on the verdict
end judement was subsequently rendered for the sum of %848.00. If
appellee was entitled to recover the measure of her damsges would
be the difference between the value of the stock as it was and
what it would be worth if the alleged false representations con-
cerning it had been trve. The measure of damages in an action for
fraud and deceit is the difference in the worth of the property as
represented and its real value. Or as it is sometimes stated, it
is the difference between the value of the property as it is and
what it would be worth if the representations had been true.
Schwitters vs. Springer, 236 Iil. 271; Siltz vs. Springer, 256
Ill. 2763; Stewart vs. Clark, 194 Ill. App. 2.
We are of the opinion that reversible error was committed
in the trial of this cause and the ivigment of the Circuit Court
of LaSalle County is reversed and the cause remanded.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.

In her bill of complaint appellee alleges that on or
about May 5, 1923, she was indebted to said Mary A.
Barton, deceased, in the sum of $5680.00, which was
evidenced by a promissory note for said sum with in-
terest at the rate of 6% per annum from date until
paid and was then due and payable, that William S.
Black, the husband of appellee, and Hattie H. Black,
his sister, were sureties on said note; that on Novem-
ber 1, 1927, all indebtedness of appellee including said
promissory note as aforesaid was extinguished and
liquidated in the following manner:
William 8. Black and Hattie H. Black were at that
time the owners of the east half of the southwest quar-
ter of section six and the northwest quarter of the
southeast quarter of said section six in township one
south, range four west of the fourth principal meridi-
an, in Brown County, State of Illinois, said lands be-
ing occupied at the time by appellee and her husband,
William S. Black, and said Hattie H. Black; that the
fair cash market value of said real estate at that time
was twenty thousand dollars, subject to a mortgage
securing the sum of seventy-five hundred dollars; that
appellee and her husband were at that time indebted
to the Timewell State Bank, the Timewell Farmers
Cooperative Company and M. E. McCabe in the total
sum of $2832.40; that the said Mary A. Barton on said
November 1, 1927, agreed, in consideration of the con-
veyance to her of the above described real estate, that
she would assume the payment of said mortgage, pay
the said indebtedness amounting to the sum of
$2832.40 and also release and discharge appellee and
said William S. Black and Hattie H. Black from all
liability from the indebtedness due and owing from
appellee and her husband, William 8. Black, and
Hattie H. Black to her, including said note above de-
scribed and would cancel and deliver said note to ap-
pellee; that, relying upon said promise of said Mary
A. Barton, appellee and her husband, William S.
Black, and said Hattie H. Black, on November 1, 1927,
executed and acknowledged and delivered a deed to
said real estate to said Mary A. Barton, who from that
time on has been the owner thereof and that the same
has been inventoried as part of her estate.
That the relations between appellee and her mother
at that time and continuously until her death were
tender, affectionate and amicable, and that appellee
relying upon the promise of her mother and believing
that she would surrender and cancel said note within
a reasonable time did not insist upon the immediate
surrender and cancellation of the same, but thereafter,
while visiting her mother, requested her to deliver and
cancel said note, and her mother who claimed she kept

said note in a purse, which at that time was in the
possession of said William T. Barton requested the
said Barton to deliver said note to appellee; that he
never delivered said note to appellee but that after her
mother’s death the note was found in the possession
of said Barton and that from thence hitherto it has
been and still is in his possession; that said Barton
paid nothing for said note and that he is not a bona
fide holder of said note in due course, nor was the same
assigned or transferred to him by said decedent in her
life time; that appellee was not indebted to her mother
at the time of the execution of her will nor at the time
of her death; that the other children of deceased now
claim that the notes mentioned in the sixth clause of
said will of deceased includes the said note which had
been liquidated as aforesaid and is to be considered
evidence of an advancement against the interest pro-
vided for appellee by the said last will and testament
and that under the second paragraph of said sixth
clause she will forfeit all her interest in said estate
unless she pays said note and interest thereon down
to the present time to be deducted from appellee’s
share in said estate; and that the other children now
contend that the refusal of appellee to either pay said
note, or permit the supposed indebtedness evidenced
by it to be deducted from her interest in said estate
subjects her said interest to forfeiture under the sixth
paragraph of said will which provides that ‘‘should
either of my said children attempt to prevent the exe-
eution of this will such child shall forfeit what is here
given to him or her;’’ that said other children now
insist that it was the intention of decedent to include,
at the time of the execution of the will, all notes
formerly held or owned by her, whether paid or un-
paid; that in view of the circumstances surrounding
the testatrix, at the time of the execution of the will,
she meant, by use of the words ‘‘execution of the will’’
the probate of the will; that she did not intend that
any child’s interest in her estate should be charged
with the payment of any paid or liquidated notes
which might be in her possession at the time of her
death; that the said sixth clause of said will is ambigu-
ous and uncertain, and its true meaning and intent
should be rendered certain by a construction of this
court; appellee prays that the court will construe said
will and that she may have such other and further re-
lief in the premises as equity may require, ete.
The defendant, R. L. Webber, adminstrator with
the will annexed, answered the bill and denied that ap-
pellee is entitled to the relief or any part thereof, and
prays that the bill be dismissed, ete.

Defendants, William T, Barton and Mabel McCoy,
answered and deny that the note executed by appel-
lee was ever paid by her in any manner or that the
conveyance of the real estate mentioned therein was
in payment of said note, but allege that said note
never has been paid; that it was always in the posses-
sion of the testatrix up to the time of her death and
that she never promised appellee in her life time that
she would cancel the same; that under the sixth clause
of the will the note is evidence of an advancement to
appellee and must be deducted from her share of the
estate; that appellee is trying to contest the validity
of the will under the guise of a construction thereof
and that its provisions are clear and unambiguous and
need no construction, whereby the court is without
jurisdiction of the subject matter.
On account of the fact that the regular master in
chancery of said court was disqualified because of be-
ing interested in said suit the cause was referred to
Vernon Briggs, as Special Master, to take the evidence
and report the same together with his findings of fact
and conclusions of law.
The master found that on or about May 17, 1923,
Lula A. Black was indebted to said Mary A. Barton
in the sum of $5680.00, which was evidenced by a note
bearing interest at the rate of 6% per annum and upon
which note her husband, William S. Black, and Hattie
H. Black were sureties; that said William 8S. Black and
Hattie H. Black were, on November 1, 1927, the own-
ers of the east half of the southwest quarter and the
northwest quarter of the southeast quarter of section
six in Township one south, range four west of the
fourth principal meridian in Brown County, Illinois,
and that at that said time the fair cash market value
of the same was $18000.00; that the same was subject
to a mortgage in favor of the State Savings, Loan and
Trust Company, Quincy, Illinois, securing an indebted-
ness of Seven Thousand Five Hundred dollars; that
on said date appellee and her husband, William S.
Black, were indebted to the Timewell State Bank in the
sum of $2090.69, to the Timewell Farmers Co-oper-
ative Company in the sum of $431.78, and to M. E.
McCabe in the sum of $131.19; said last three items of
indebtedness having been reduced to judgment in the
Cireuit Court of Brown County, Mlinois.
That on November 1, 1927, said William S. Black
and Lula A. Black, his wife, and Hattie H. Black made,
executed and delivered to Mary A. Barton a warranty
deed for said real estate for the stated consideration
of one dollar and other considerations; that at said
time Mary A. Barton satisfied the indebtedness of
William S. Black, Lula A. Black and Hattie H. Black

above mentioned to the Timewell State Bank, the
Timewell Farmers Co-operative Company and to
M. EK. McCabe. That the note for the sum of $5680. 00,
payable to the order of Mary A. Barton, was never de-
livered to either William S. Black, ula A. Black or
Hattie H. Black, but that said note remained in the
unconscious possession of said Mary A. Barton. That
from and after the acceptance of said warranty deed
to said real estate said Mary A. Barton did not con-
sider her said daughter, Lula A. Black, nor her hus-
band nor said Hattie H. Black indebted to her by
reason of and on account of the execution of said
$5680.00 note.
The Master concludes that said note for $5680.00,
executed by Lula A. Black, William S. Black and
Hattie H. Black and payable to Mary A. Barton,
should not be considered evidence of an advancement
against the interest of Lula A. Black in and to the
estate of Mary A. Barton, deceased, under the terms
of her last will and testament and that the same is not
an asset of the estate of Mary A. Barton, deceased.
That the word ‘‘hold’’ in the first paragraph of the
sixth clause of the said last will and testament of said
Mary A. Barton, deceased, should be construed not to
mean mere possession of liquidated obligations but
ownership of valid existing and unliquidated obliga-
tions, if any. That in the second paragraph of said
sixth clause of said last will and testament of Mary
A. Barton, deceased, the words ‘‘attempt to prevent
the execution of this will,’? should be construed to
mean ‘‘attempt to prevent the probate of this will,’’
and that the filing of the bill by appellee should not
operate as a forfeiture of her interest in the estate of
said Mary A. Barton, deceased.
Exceptions to the report of the master were over-
ruled and a decree was entered in said cause,
The court found that the note for $5680.00, which was
owned by appellee to the deceased, Mary A. Barton,
was extinguished and liquidated by a conveyance from
William S. Black and Hattie H. Black to deceased of
the real estate which was described in the bill of com-
plaint and that the fair cash market value of said real
estate at the time of the conveyance thereof was $20,-
000.00, subject to a mortgage securing an indebtedness
of $7,500.00, and that appellee and her husband were in-
debted to the Timewell State Bank, the Timewell
Farmers Co-Operative Company and M. E. McCabe
in the total sum of $2,832.40, and that on November 1,
1927, deceased agreed, in consideration of the convey-
ance to her of the said real estate, that she would as-
sume the payment of said mortgage, pay the indebted-
ness of said bank, Co-operative Company and said M.E.

McCabe, and also release and discharge appellee and
her husband, William 8. Black, and Hattie H. Black
from all liability on said indebtedness then due and ow-
ing from appellee and her husband, William 8. Black,
and Hattie H. Black to said deceased, including the
note for $5,680.00, and that said conveyance was exe-
cuted upon that consideration.
The court further found that a dispute had arisen
between the defendants, Mabel McCoy and William T.
Barton, and appellee as to the proper construction to
be placed upon the sixth clause of said will; that said
William T, Barton and Mabel McCoy claim that, unless
the note for $5,680.00 with accrued interest from its
date until the time of the death of the testatrix is paid
by appellee, that she will forfeit all right to any devise
or legacy under said last will and testament and that
it was proper that said clause should be construed and
that the said suit is brought in good faith for the pur-
pose of enabling the estate to be properly administered
and settled; that said William T, Barton and Mabel
McCoy claim that under the following language in said
last will and testament, namely: ‘‘any note or notes
I may hold against either of my said children is to be
considered an advancement against such child and is to
be deducted from such child’s share in my estate’’,
the said note of $5,680.00 and accrued interest, although
paid and extinguished, must be considered an advance-
ment and deducted from appellee’s share in said estate,
and found that it was not the intention of the testatrix
that said amount was to be deducted from the share of
appellee.
It was ordered by the court that said indebtedness
of appellee in the sum of $5,680.00, evidenced by said
promissory note, has been and the same is declared to
be liquidated, cancelled, discharged and paid and is
not an asset of said estate and that none of the makers
thereof are indebted thereon to said estate; that the
language in said will, ‘‘any note or notes I may hold
against either of my said children is to be considered
an advancement against such child and is to be de-
ducted from such child’s share in my estate’’, be, and
the same is hereby construed to mean any unpaid notes;
that appellee has not attempted to prevent the execu-
tion of the last will and testament of deceased or tried
to break such will and that appellee has done nothing
to forfeit her interest in any devise or legacy under
said will.
The defendants, William T. Barton and Mabel Mc-
Coy, prayed an appeal to this court and perfected the
same by giving bond as required by the order of said
court and are the sole appellants in this court.

The principal reason urged for a reversal of said
decree is that appellee had a full, adequate and com-
plete remedy at law, and that the language contained
in said will had a certain definite legal meaning and
was not ambiguous and that there is no latent ambig-
uity in said will and that the bill should therefore have
been dismissed for want of equity.
No trust being involved in this will, jurisdiction to
construe the same must then depend upon the Act of
June 5, 1911, Cahill’s St. Ch. 22 Par. 50, which con-
ferred jurisdiction upon courts of equity to hear and
determine bills in equity to construe wills notwithstand-
ing no question of a trust is involved therein.
While such authority is conferred by said amend-
ment, yet it is error for a court of equity to assume
jurisdiction to construe a will when there is no doubt
or uncertainty as to the rights and interests of the par-
ties arising from ambiguous language in the will.
Bimslager v. Bimslager, 323 Il. 303.
Equity will entertain a bill for the construction of a
will which, though clear on its face, discloses a latent
ambiguity when read in the light of extrinsic facts.
Heckler v. Young, 264 Til. App. 34.
A reading of the will discloses that it is very crudely
drawn and that it presents sufficient ambiguity in the
language used to give the court jurisdiction to construe
it.
The evidence which includes the testimony of disin-
terested witnesses fully sustains the findings of the
Master and the Court that the conveyance of the real
estate made to testatrix was in liquidation of the in-
debtedness of appellee. The court will not construe
an indebtedness of a devisee or legatee which was paid
to the testatrix in her life time to be an advancement
to be deducted from such devise or legacy.
The decree of the Circuit Court is affirmed.
Decree affirmed.

William L. Patton, Appellee’ v. Mary Ann Adams,
AppeHants.
Appeal from Circuit Court of Sangamon County.
S Y ‘os
January Term, A. D, 1934, 2 "4 Lr
Gen. No. 8818 Agenda No. 12
Mr. Justice Davis delivered the opinion of the
court.
By this appeal appellant is seeking to reverse an
order of the Circuit Court of Sangamon County, sus-
taining an order entered by the Probate Court of said
county, in a matter arising in the administration of
the estate of Harriet Kerneghen, deceased.
In March, 1932, the law firm of Follansbee, Shorey
& Schupp, of Chicago, Illinois, received a letter from
Thomas Elliott, a solicitor residing at Newry, Ireland,
concerning the estate of Harriet Kerneghen, deceased,
in which he stated that he was acting for Mary Ann
Adams, of Lisadian, Ireland, and that Thomas Jarrett,
of Springfield, Illinois, was the solicitor dealing with
the estate, and stating that no money had been paid
over to his clients and that they were getting old and
are in poor circumstances, and requesting said firm
to ascertain the full particulars of the estate and write
him concerning the matter.
The firm of Follansbee, Shorey & Schupp wrote a let-
ter to William L. Patton, appellee, referring the mat-
ter to him and asking him to investigate. Harriet Ker-
neghen died testate on May 1, 1928, and letters testa-
mentary were issued to Thomas L. Jarrett on June
28, 1928, upon his giving bond in the penal sum of
$40,000.00. He inventoried personal assets amounting
to the sum of $23,000.00.
By the terms of her will the money was to be divided
equally between a number of legatees, one of whom
was appellant, Mary Ann Adams. Jarrett filed no
report until January 10, 1931. Appellee entered his
appearance for appellant in said estate and proceeded
to investigate the same and filed objections to said
report, alleging that it contained improper charges,
excessive claims by the executor for fees and expenses
and false credits for alleged payments of legacies
which had not in fact been paid. Another report was
filed by the executor on August 12, 1932, to which ap-
pellee also filed objections. The results of these pro-
ceedings was that Jarrett as such executor was forced
to make settlement by the Probate Court.

Thomas Jarrett, the executor, procured an order to
make partial distribution to appellant in the sum of
$2000.00, which was paid by the executor by a check
payable to the order of appellee, who remitted the same
to Follansbee, Shorey & Schupp, who advised Elliott
of the payment and that they would forward the same
to him as soon as his client, the appellant, should sign
and return a receipt and agree that they should receive
as a fee for their services performed the sum of
$300.00. From the correspondence introduced in evi-
dence, it appears that appellant refused to agree to
pay the $300.00 as a fee and repudiated Elliott’s em-
ployment as her solicitor. Elliott advised Follansbee,
Shorey & Schupp of these facts and they returned the
$2000.00 to appellee, who filed his petition in the Pro-
bate Court for leave to deposit the fund with the clerk
and for an order fixing appellee’s solicitor’s fee at
$300.00, and that the clerk be directed to pay the fee
out of the fund. The Probate Court entered an order
in accordance with the prayer of the petition, and the
Circuit upon appeal entered a_ similar order.
Depositions of Elliott, appellant, and other witnesses
were taken in Ireland and read in evidence upon the
hearing on said petition. It was stipulated on the hear-
ing by counsel for appellant that a fee of $300.00 was
a reasonable fee, and that the amount of the fee was not
disputed.
Appellant relies upon two errors for a reversal of
the order of the Circuit Court: First, that the Pro-
bate Court had no jurisdiction to make the order en-
tered by it, and that for such reason the Cireuit Court
was without jurisdiction; second, that the evidence
failed so show employment of Elliott, and hence ap-
pellee was without authority to act on behalf of appel-
lant.
Appellee stated in his petition, filed in the Probate
Court, that he brings into court a check for $2,000.00
and prays that he may be allowed to deposit the same
with the clerk of said court and that the clerk be in-
structed and authorized to procure payment of said
check and hold the proceeds subject to the further or-
der of the court, and that the clerk be authorized, or-
dered and directed to pay petitioner out of said pro-
ceeds the sum of $300.00, in full for services rendered
by petitioner on behalf of said Mary Ann Adams.
Appellant moved the court to strike the petition of
appellee from the files for the reason that the court
had no jurisdiction to hear said petition or adjudicate
the same, and for the further reason that the petition
shows no employment of appellee. After a similar
motion was overruled by the Cireuit Court appellant,
by leave of court, filed an answer to said petition, in
which she says: That appellee was, at no time or in
ite “a :

any manner, expressly or impliedly retained or employ-
ed or instructed to act for her in the matters alleged
in the petition. The questions, that were presented to
the Probate Court for hearing and determination, were
as to whether appellee was ever retained by appellant
or had authority to represent her and look after her
interests in said estate, and, if so, the fixing of a proper
allowance for such services.
None of the acts of appellee in representing the in-
terest of appellant in said estate in said Probate Court
were repudiated by appellant or called to the attention
of the court, and said dispute did not affect or inter-
fere with the proper administration of said estate in
any way. Appellant, upon being informed that ap-
pellee had obtained the sum of $2,000.00, which was
ordered by the court to be paid to her, did not come into
court and charge that appellee was without authority
to represent her and that, by virtue of his appearance
as her solicitor, he had obtained the $2,000.00 that was
ordered paid to her, and refused to pay the same over
unless she consented to pay him the sum of $300.00 for
his services in so representing her, and thus give the
court jurisdiction to investigate such charges and de-
termine whether appellee was employed and was au-
thorized to represent appellant.
The Probate Court is concerned in no way with the
dispute that has arisen between Mary Ann Adams and
appellee, William L. Patton, as to whether he was em-
ployed or in any way authorized to guard the interests
of appellant in said estate, or if so, as to what would be
reasonable compensation for such services as he had
performed.
The fact that the court was in control of said fund
would not give its jurisdiction to hear and determine
the questions in dispute between appellant and appel-
lee. It would have no more jurisdiction to hear and de-
termine the dispute as to the employment of appellee
and the fixing of proper solicitor’s fees than it would
have in any other case where some matter of dispute
arose between a legatee and his attorney in the settle-
ment of an estate.
If as a matter of fact appellee was employed by
appellant as her solicitor, to guard her interests in said
estate, he had a right to collect the $2,000.00 for his
client, retain his reasonable compensation for his serv-
ices, and remit the balance to his client without the aid
of any court.
The Cireuit and Probate Courts being without juris-
diction to hear and determine the petition of appellee,
the order of the Circuit Court is reversed and the cause
remanded to that court with directions to dismiss the
petition for want of jurisdiction.
Reversed and remanded with directions.

Gen. No. 8777 Agenda No. 23
Mr. Justice Fuuron delivered the opinion of the
court.
On June 15, 1931, Appellee, Richard Vaughn, who
was then a minor, and Emmett C. Vaughn, purchased
a Chevrolet Truck from the Simpson Chevrolet Com-
pany. The purchase price was $948.00. Part payment
was made by turning over to the vendor a 1930 Chev-
rolet Coupe, at a value of $324.00 and the balance of
$624.00 was to be paid in monthly installments of $52.00
until paid. Both Appellees signed a conditional sales
contract. On the same date Appellant purchased the
contract and note. Thereafter the Vaughns made one
payment of $52.00 which was the total amount paid
under the contract. Because of the default and failure
to make further monthly payments, Appellant insti-
tuted this replevin suit on November 3, 1931, to re-
cover possession of the truck. Ona trial in the Edgar
County Cireuit Court an alternative judgment was
rendered against Appellant which in substance found
Appellee Richard Vaughn entitled to the possession of
the property in question and required Appellant to pay
Richard Vaughn the sum of $377.00 and interest with-
in ten days or return the property to said Appellee.
Before the commencement of the replevin suit a rep-
resentative of Appellant demanded possession of the
truck from Richard Vaughn and testifies he was told
that ‘‘if’’ and ‘‘when’’ he paid back to the minor what
the latter had paid on the car he could have it. While
other questions are argued the controlling one was
whether or not an adult can sell personal property to
a minor on a conditional sales contract, receive part
payment, and upon default by the minor and refusal
to complete the payments due, take the property in an
action of replevin, and compel the minor to start an
independent suit for the recovery of payments made.
It is insisted by Appellant that there was no repudia-
tion of the contract by the minor, but the testimony of
Appellant’s agent that he demanded the truck from
Appellee Vaughn and was told he could have it when
the payment made by Vaughn was returned to him, is
sufficient proof of repudiation.

It is further contended by Appellant that there can
be no repudiation without a return of the property and
there is no authority in law for an infant to hold the
property as security for the return of his payments.
It is conceded that upon the repudiation of a contract
by a minor because of infancy, the rights of the parties
are wholly governed by law, and not by their contract.
Fuller v. Pool, 258 App. 513. To hold that an infant
must consent to the replevin, return the property and
then start a new and independent suit for the payments
made, places the minor at a great disadvantage and
would entail needless delay and expense. We believe
the adjustment of rights between parties growing out
of the same transaction should be determined in one
action if permitted under the law. In an action of
replevin by a mortgagor where the mortgagee set up by
plea the notes and mortgage, alleging the non-payment
of the last of the series of notes, the mortgagor replied
that in making a sale of the property to him the mort-
gagee had made a warranty in respect thereto, of which
there had been a breach, and that the damages arising
from such breach equaled in amount the unpaid note,
it was held that such a defense to the note was admis-
sible. Hutt v. Bruckman et al, 55 Tl. 441. In Hamilton
v. Singer Manufacturing Co. 54 Ill. 370, the court held
that a machine delivered to an adult upon which a part
payment had been made could not be recovered in re-
plevin without the returning of the payment made by
the defendant. To the same effect is O. & M. Ry. Co. v.
Noe, 77 Il. 518. It is our judgment that Richard
Vaughn being a minor had a legal right to repudiate
his contract: that having made payments upon the pur-
chase price of the truck he had a special property in
the truck and was rightfully in possession until the
$377.00 was paid to him.
The alternative judgment entered by the Court was
proper under the facts in this case and the judgment of
the Circuit Court is affirmed.
Affirmed.

a7
5 Appellant.
Yoveal from Circuit Court, Tazewell County. '
January Term, A. D. 1934. yb é
Gen. No. 8786 Agenda No. 2
Mr. Justicn Fuiron delivered the opinion of the
court.
This was a suit in assumpsit brought by Appellee,
H. F. Zelle, against the Morton State Bank, a corpora-
tion, Appellant. The declaration consisted of the com-
mon counts and attached to the declaration was the
verified affidavit of Appellee’s claim. The affidavit in
substance recites that the demand of Appellee is for
money due him upon an agreement to repurchase bonds
sold to him by Appellant bank through its agent and
cashier, Fred Reuling Jr.; that subsequent to making
the purchase of certain bonds the Appellee made de-
mand upon Appellant to repurchase said bonds and to
pay him the sum of $4,125.38, representing the amount
paid by Appellee to Appellant for said bonds, together
with accrued interest; also that the bonds were tend-
ered back to Appellant at the time the demand for re-
payment was made.
Appellant filed a plea of general issue supported by
an affidavit of meritorious defense, in which a denial
was made of the making of the agreement to repur-
chase. The Appellant also filed an additional plea of
the Statute of Frauds reciting that the agreement set
forth in Appellee’s declaration was not in writing; that
it was not to be performed within one year from the
time of the making thereof and was therefore void.
Both at the close of the plaintiffs evidence and at the
close of all the testimony, Appellant moved the Court
to instruct the jury to return a verdict for the defend-
ant and submitted an instruction for that purpose. In
each instance the motion was denied and the instruction
refused. The jury returned a verdict for Appellee as-
sessing his damages at $4,250.12. Motion for new trial
was overruled and judgment was entered on the ver-
dict from which Appellant prosecutes this appeal.
The facts are directly in dispute. Appellee testified
that he had long been a stockholder and a customer of
the Appellant bank; that on May 1, 1929 he spoke to
Fred Reuling Jr. the cashier, about the purchase of
some Morton Paving bonds, to which Reuling replied
they had none. Appellee then replied that in that event

he would like to buy some Morton Grade School bonds.
Reuling replied they had none of those but that they
had other bonds just as good. After considerable con-
versation Appellee said he would not be interested in
any other bonds unless the Appellant bank would agree
to repurchase them at any time Appellee desired to
sell them; that Reuling replied that he would only be
too glad to agree to such an arrangement; that there-
upon on two different occasions under the same agree-
ment Appellee purchased bonds from the bank and
paid for them; that late in the fall of 1931 and before
there was any default in interest upon the bonds so
purchased he applied to Fred Reuling to cash one or
two of the bonds as per the agreement of the bank to
buy them back at any time. Mr. Reuling informed him
that they had no funds available for that purpose just
then but probably could later on; that on many more
occasions Appellee applied to Mr. Reuling to repur-
chase the bonds under the agreemnt but the bank re-
fused to take them over.
In behalf of Appellant, Fred Reuling Jr., testified
and denied making the agreement to repurchase the
bonds. While appellant argues other reasons for re-
versing the judgment, it is apparent from the opinion
of the Supreme Court in the recent case of Knass v.
Madison & Kedzie Bank 354 Tl. 554, that the contract
here relied upon by Appellee is void as against public
policy, and that it was entirely outside of the power of
the bank to make any such contract. No plea of ultra
vires was filed in the instant case but a motion at the
close of Appellee’s evidence to return a verdict in favor
of Appellant raised the question of the sufficiency of
the evidence and should have been granted by the
Court because Appellee’s case was dependent upon a
void contract which the Court did not have the power
to enforce. In accordance with the Knass ease above
cited the Appellee was charged with notice that the
bank was utterly without power to make the repur-
chase agreements,
Because the Appellee failed to make out a sufficient
case it was error for the Court to deny the peremptory
motion made at the close of Appellee’s proof and the
case is therefore reversed.
Reversed.

Jack T. Reynolds, a Minor, by Merle -Reyxolds, his
Father and next friend, Defendants “inError, v.
C. O. Wedeberg, Doing Business as ‘‘The
Medical Clinic,’ and Adolph Jacob
Newman, Plaintiffs in Error.
Error to the Circuit Court, Sangamon County.
SEFY A
Octoser Term, A. D. 1933. 2 "4 4h
Gen. No. 8795 Agenda No. 11
Mr. Justicn Fuuron delivered the opinion of the
court.
This was an action of trespass on the case brought
by Jack T. Reynolds, a minor, of the age of eight
years, by his father and next friend for personal in-
juries sustained by said minor on June 17, 1932, by
reason of the negligent operation of an X-ray machine
by the Plaintiffs in Error.
A trial by jury resulted in a verdict for defendant
in error for the sum of $7500.00 which by order of the
trial court and consented to by the Defendant in Error
was reduced by remittitur to $2000.00 and for the
latter amount judgment was entered. From that judg-
ment Plaintiffs in Error have prosecuted this writ of
error,
The declaration in substance charges that at the
time of the injury the Plaintiffs in Error conducted
and operated, in the City of Springfield, an institution
known as the ‘‘Medical Clinic’; that Plaintiff in
Error, Dr. Wedeberg, owned and managed said Medi-
cal Clinic, and that Dr. Newman, the other Plaintiff
in Error, actually operated the said clinic as the agent
of Wedeberg; that in said Medical Clinic was an X-ray
machine; that the said Jack T. Reynolds with all due
care went to said Medical Clinic for examination and
treatment and that Plaintiffs in Error accepted said
employment; that the said Dr. Adolph Jacob Newman,
as the agent and servant of Dr. Wedeberg then con-
ducted such examination and treatment of the said
minor by the use of said X-ray machine, but that Dr.
Newman so negligently and carelessly operated the
same in such a manner as to cause the Defendant in
Error to be severely burned about the head, face and
arms, and that he suffered a severe shock and injury
to his nervous system. The Plaintiffs in Error pleaded
the general issue and in addition each of them filed
separate pleas denying the joint ownership and opera-
tion of said Medical Clinic, and further denying that

in the operation thereof the Plaintiff in Error New-
man was acting as the agent of Dr. Wedeberg.
Plaintiffs in Error urge two grounds for reversal.
First, that at the time of the injury Wedeberg was no
longer connected with the operation of the Medical
Clinic, and that a judgment against both Plaintiffs in
Error is contrary to the manifest weight of the
evidence.
In support of the joint liability the Defendant in
Error introduced testimony showing that Dr. Wede-
berg, a dentist by profession, maintained his private
office at the southwest corner of the intersection of
Monroe and Fitth streets in the City of Springfield.
At the northwest corner of this same intersection was
located a brick building owned by one Claypool, on the
first floor of which was conducted Claypool’s drug
store. At some time before the injury Dr. Wedeberg
rented the rooms above the drug store and began the
operation of what is described as the ‘‘ Medical
Clinic’’, One room was used as a reception room, the
rooms to the north were occupied by the ‘‘Medical
Clinic’’ and those to the south by the ‘‘ Dental Clinic’’.
Dr. Wedeberg paid the rent on all of the rooms to
Claypool. He also employed the janitor and paid him.
This janitor also cared for Dr. Wedeberg’s private
office. He employed an office girl who served both
clinics. The advertising for the Medical Clinic was
submitted to Dr. Wedeberg upon which he placed his
O. K. for the credit of same. Dr. Meyer, an employe
of the Medical Clinic before the re-arrangement in
March 1932, and from that point on with the ‘‘Dental
Clinic’’ testified that both he and Dr. Newman made
weekly reports to Dr. Wedeberg, down to July, 1932,
at which time Dr. Meyer severed his connection with
the ‘‘Dental Clinic’’.
He also testified that Dr. Wedeberg told him in the
latter part of June 1932, that he was going to cut all
their salaries including Dr. Newman. On this issue
Plaintiff in Error proved by Dr. Wedeberg and Dr.
Newman that the latter was employed on a salary
from January 6, 1932, until March 14, 1932, to operate
the Medical Clinic. That on the latter date Dr. New-
man took over the Medical Clinic as his own, paying
rent for the office space and equipment: that he was
furnished janitor service as part of the rental agree-
ment, and that Dr. Wedeberg was only the landlord on
June 17, 1932, at the time of the injury. This testi-
mony about the change in management on March 14,
1932, was corroborated by Mr. Ransdell and Dr.
Marshack.
While the testimony of the defendant in error is
somewhat circumstantial in its nature, there were suf-

ficient facts proven to warrant the court in submitting
to the jury the question of whether or not Dr. Wede-
burg was interested as an owner of the Medical Clinic
on June 17, 1932, and having found that issue of fact
in favor of the defendant in error, there is nothing so
convincing about the proof of Plaintiffs in Error as to
justify this Court in finding that the verdict was con-
trary to the manifest weight of the evidence.
The other assignment of error relied on by Plain-
tiffs in Error was that the verdict of the jury was ex-
cessive and that the action of the Court in ordering a
remittitur from $7500.00 to $2000.00 indicated that the
verdict was the result of passion and prejudice and
should be set aside. In this case the defendant in
error, a boy eight years of age, had injured his arm
and desired an X-ray picture taken to ascertain
whether the arm was broken. His mother took him to
the medical clinic where Dr. Newman was in charge
and he proceeded to take the picture. We think the
evidence clearly shows that Dr. Newman negligently
permitted the spark-gap to be placed too close to the
boy’s head and when the current in the X-ray machine
was turned on it caused an intense spark to jump from
the end of the tube to the left side of the boy’s head
and out from his left arm to the metallic cone attached
to the tube. The boy immediately fainted, became
unconscious and fell from the chair in which he was
placed to the floor. The incident occurred in the fore-
noon and the boy did not regain complete conscious-
ness until evening. In addition to the shock, the hair
on the left side of his head was singed off and burned
for an area about the size of the palm of a hand and
there were severe burns about the head and arms. The
burns did not heal for about three months. The shock
affected the boys nervous system so that he could not
sleep well at night, was extremely nervous, lost weight,
tired easily and was not so robust as before the injury.
The doctors were unable to state how long this condi-
tion might continue. We do not think the judgment
for $2000.00 was so excessive under these circum-
stances as to warrant the Court in setting it aside.
‘‘Remittiturs in action ex delicto, by the trial and
Appellate Courts have been approved by this Court
numbers of times’’. Sandy v. Lake St. El. R. R. Co.,
935 Ill. 194, citing Chicago City Ry. Co. v. Gemmill,
209 Ill. 638.
We do not find any substantial error in this record
and the judgment of the lower court is therefore af-
firmed. Affirmed,

L. H. Hulan, et al, Defendants ah Error/v. Lester
Goodman, et al, Plaintiffs in
Writ of Error to Circuit Court, Greene County.
Oe A
January Term, A. D. 19384. 4; 4 “@
Gen. No. 8816 Agenda No, 11
Mr. Justicr Fuuron delivered the opinion of the
court.
Defendants in Error filed their bill in aid of execu-
tion to set aside two deeds executed by Lester G.
Goodman and his wife to D. J. Williams and to sub-
ject the premises therein described to a sale under an
alias execution. The decree of the Circuit Court found -
that the deeds were made without consideration, with
intent to hinder, delay and defraud the grantor’s
creditors and that the grantee D. J. Williams, held the
title to the real estate for the use and benefit of Lester
G. Goodman. Plaintiffs in Error insist there is no evi-
dence in the record to support any of said findings.
The proof shows that Lester G. Goodman was a son-
in-law of D. J. Williams; that on November 29, 1928,
Goodman and his wife conveyed the real estate in con-
troversy to the said D. J. Williams by two deeds which
were filed for record on August 8, 1930; that Lester G.
Goodman was also a stockholder and director for
many years in the Kane State & Savings Bank of
Kane, Illinois, which closed its doors and ceased to do
any business on August 14, 1930; that subsequently the
Defendants in Error, as creditors of said bank brought
suit to enforce the liability of the bank’s stockholders
and on September 17, 1931, recovered a decree against
Goodman for $2000.00, he being the owner of twenty
shares of stock in the closed bank; that an execution
was issued thereon and returned nulla bona by order
of complainants attorney. The testimony of the
Plaintiffs in Error shows quite conclusively that at the
time of the conveyances in November 1928, Lester G.
Goodman was indebted to his father-in-law in the sum
of $4700.00 which was cancelled at the time the deeds
were delivered, and that the said amount was a reason-
able consideration for the land conveyed. While the
fact that the deeds were dated in November 1928, and
not recorded until August 8, 1930, might, because of
the relationship of the parties be considered a sus-
picious circumstance, still the execution of the deeds

in 1928 is quite definitely established by the testimony
of the Notary who took the acknowledgment and the
party who attested the deed as a witness.
The evidence presented on the part of the Defend-
ants in Hrror tends to show that the bank had not paid
dividends for many years; that Goodman had attended
directors meetings and knew something about the af-
fairs of the bank which had not been particularly pros-
perous for several years before closing; that an assess-
ment of 50% was levied upon all the stockholders in
September 1929; that the report of the examiner under
date of June 19, 1930, showed the condition of the bank
to be unsatisfactory and that the children of Goodman
and certain officers of the bank had withdrawn small
deposits from the bank shortly before it closed.
While the testimony disclosed the financial condition
of the Kane State & Savings Bank and that it was not
flournishing it is reasonable to infer from all the evi-
dence that its officers and directors did not feel that
it would have to close its doors until the last few days
before August 14, 1930. The deeds were executed and
delivered in 1928, about one year before the sensa-
tional collapse in prices and general business affairs,
and almost two years before the bank closed.
We do not feel that the facts proven are sufficient to
warrant a finding of fraudulent intent on the part of
Goodman and against his creditors in the making of
these deeds. Fraud will not be presumed but must be
proved by clear and convincing evidence, Garrett v.
Garrett, 343 Ill. 577. Where a conveyance is made
upon a valuable consideration and is alleged to be
fraudulent as against the grantor’s creditors, an actu-
al and express fraudulent intent must be proved with-
out the aid of any legal presumptions, and it must ap-
pear that both parties participated in the fraud; it is
not enough that the conveyance may have the effect
to delay and hinder creditors, Behrens v. Steidley, 198
Ill. 803. State Bank of Mansfield v. Moore State Bank,
249 App. 237.
The fact that the parties were related is no proof of
fraud or that there was no bona fide indebtedness.
Ayers National Bank v. Barber, 287 Til. 182.
In the present case the conveyances were to Mrs.
Goodman’s father, but he lived twenty miles distant
from Kane and there is no testimony showing that he
had any knowledge whatever of the bank’s condition
or that he was in any way connected with its business
affairs. He was employed by the Burlington Railroad
as a bridge and building foreman and was away from
home at least six days every week.
It is our judgment that the evidence does not sup-
port the finding that the deeds in this case were made

This appeal is to review a decree of the Madison County Circuit
Court, awarding a mechanic's lien, in the sum of $2,500.00, in favor of
appellee, and against the appellants, J. B. Van FPreters and Luella R.
Van Preters, growing out of a contract to install a heating system in the
garage of the Van Preters, by the eppellee, and which “it was claimed did
not conform to, nor fulfill, the terms of the contract.
In August, 1929, appellant, J. B. Van Preters, contracted with
appellee to install for him, in his garage then in course of construction,
a heating plant consisting of a steam, air-driven with fan, system, which
should heat the building to a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit during
outside zero weather. The contract price was to be $2,500.0G. The manner
of payment was in dispute, and as to same, the testimony sharply conflict-
ed. The heating plant was completed about January 30, 1930. No payments
were made on the contract; p oper claims for lien were filed, and the fail-
ure to pay is the basis of this suit.
Appellants, the Van Preters, contend that the heating system did

not comply with the contract; that it would not, in zero weather, heat the
building to anywhere near the 70 degrees; while appellee insists that, if
properly fired, it would heat the garage to the required degree; that it
was so proven by test, and that examination of the boiler and grates dis-=-
closed that appellants did not properly tend the fire, nor did they use a
sufficient amount of coal therefor. After a reference to the Master, he
reported that the system was sufficient in all regards, except that the
boiler was too small, and recommended that appellee be given 90 days time
in which to make certain additions thereto, and that upon same being done,
that appeliee should be entitled to a lien therefor.
Upon hearing of the report before the Chancellor, the latter sus=
tained certain exceptions to the Haster's report; made a general finding
that the heating system was adequate, and conformed to the terms of the
contract; that appellee should have his lien, and that same should be prior
to the rights of appellant, Benid Loan Association, holder of a mortgage
upon the garage property. From such decree this appeal is prosecuted.
The heating plant consisted of a Capital Smokeless Steam Boiler,
Noe 1127, with steam pipes leading -o five radiators. Behind these were
motor-driven fans which blew the air through the rediators, thereoy heating
the air and discharging it into the building. The boiler furnished the
steam to the fans, placed in various positions in the building, by steam
pressure from such boiler. The air from the fans cooled the radiators, con-
densed the steam to water, and the water then returned to the boiler by
2ravity through return pipes. The fans were suspended from the ceiling by
brackets, and the boiler was located in the basement of the building, which
was divided into two rooms, consisting of a front or show room, and a rear
or repair and work shop. The building wes 75 feet in length, the front of
which was all glass, set in copper frames, to form what is called frost-
-proof windows; at the base of which were air slots, one-eighth of an inch
high, five-eighths of an inch long, and spaced five inches apart, along the
entire front of the bullding.

The testimony as to the salient features of the case, is sharply and
irreconcilably conflicting. Appellant, J. B. Van Preters, and certain of
his helpers, testified that they were unable to heat the building to 70
degrees in zero weather, due to the fact, as they claimed, that when the
boiler had sufficient steam, and the fans were turned on, that in about 15
minutes the steam would go down; after which the fans would blow cold air,
and they would have to be shut off to await a sufficient aghievement of
steam in the boiler; that same was too small to keep a reserve of steam
and constant pressure at the fans. There was also testimony offered by
eppellant tending to show that the boiler was too small to furnish suffi-
cient radiation for the building.
For the appellee, the proof was to the effect that the boiler was
of sufficient size, when properly fired, to furnish enough steam of constant
quantity to suvply ali the necessary radiation; that investigation revealed
that Van Preters did not properly tend the furnace, nor use sufficient coal.
That on one occasion, a witness for appellee, who went to inspect the system,
found that onlyabout one-fourth of the grates were covered with coal, which
was not enough; that he inguired of the perty in charge, as to what was
wrong with the boiler, and the latter replied: "Well, we don't want to burn
a ton of coal a day."
Appellee, himself, testified that he had personally fired the boiler,
and that it responded by giving sufficient heat; that he found the pit rather
choked with ashes, and on one occasion had removed three loads therefron.
There was also evidence of a test made at the instance of appeilee,
in February, 1930, on a morning when the temperature was about 10 degrees
above zero; the result of which was, that the boiler fired by appellee, in
two and one-half hours produced heat sufficient to raise the temperature of
the building, in the sales room, to 75 degrees, and in the garage to 77 de-
‘grees, as shown by calibrated thermometers teken there especially to record
the result of the test.

Appellant sought to minimize the force of the test by offering proof
that one of the thermometers was placed on the radiator of an automobile,
in direct line with the air current from one of the fans, and that the tem-
perature varied in different parts of the building at the time, as much 4s
10 degrees.
There was also expert testimony, for appeliee, to the effect that the
r
boiler was of sufficient size, if properly fired, to heat the building to a
temperature of 70 degrees, when it stood at zero out of doors; also, that
the air coming in through the slot apertures at the base of the frost-proof
windows along the front of the building, would render it more difficult to
heat than if the windows were of the ordinary closed type; while for the
appellants, there was also the testimony of experts, to the contrary.
Appellee claimed that at the time the contract was entered into, he
did not know, nor was he told, that the windows were to be of this frost-
proof variety, but that he supposed they were to be of ordinary kinde Ap-
pellant, J. B. Van Preters, and Otis Grover, testified that appellee admitted
to them that the heating system was not right, but that he had done ail in
his power to make 1t 60+ These statements esppeilee denied.
Whether the boiler was of adeauate size to heat the building to the
required temperature, if properly fired; whether appellant tended it rightly
or not, and whether it did in fact heat the building, as required by the con-
tract, were all questions of fact.
“here a decree has been entered, based upon findings of fact, after
consideration by the Chancellor of a voluminous record of conflicting testi-
nony, as in this case, it must clearly appear that the conclusions were
palpably and manifestly against ‘he weight of the evidence, ia order to
warrant a reversal of the decree. Cook ve Wolf, 296 I1l., 27. In the state
-of this record, we are not prepa ed to say that the manifest weight of the
testimony is contrary to ths findings o

Appellant, Benld Loan Association, placed a loan, secured by a mort—
gage, upon the premises, on Sept. 38, 1989, or more than a month after
appellee and the Van Preters entered into their contract. The rule is,
that a mechanic's lien attaches from the date the contract is entered into,
and whoever thereafter acquires an interest in the premises, takes same
subject to the lien under the contract, and his rights are postponed to
those of the lien holder. Crowen v. lieyer, 3428 Ill., 46. After the lien
hes attached, whoever deals with the property, does so at his peril, and is
under the duty of taking such msans as may be at his command, to ascertain
whether the premises are incumbered by the lien, and whatever interest he
may obtain therein is subject to such lien. Clark v. Moore, 64 Ill.e, 275.
The decree rightfully adjudged the lien of appellee superior to that of the
Benid Loan Association's mortzage.
For the reasons stated, the decree is affirmed.
Decree affirmed.

Appellant. )
MURPHY, J:
This case was before this court at a previous term. Several
errors were assigned but the court, being of the opinion that
appellee was not at the time of the accident in the exercise of due
care and caution for her own safety, reversed the judgment of the
lower court with a finding of fact to that effect and did not pass
upon the other errors assigned. 269 I11. App. 77. The Supreme
Court granted a certiorari and upon a hearing reversed the judgment
of this court and remanded the cause with directions to consider
the other errors assigneé and to either affirm the judgment or
reverse the judgment and remand the cause. 353 Ill. 312,
The facts bearing upon the question of negligence of appellant
and contributory negligence of appellee are fully set forth in
those opinions and will not be restated here. We will confine our
statement of facts to that part of the evidence which we deem necessary
to consider in connection with the other errors assigned,
The remaining errors assigned are in reference to the ruiings
of the court of the court on the admission and rejection of evidence
in the giving of certain instructions tendered by appellee and that
the verdict, after remittitur, is excessive.
At the time appellee was injured, an employee of the hotel com-
pany, called Dr. Griffith to treat her. On the trial, appellee call-
ed the doctor as her witness. He testified as to the nature and extent
of the injury and the treatment he administered. The record shows on
rebuttal the following questions and answers.
Q. “Did you make a charge for your services?"
A. "I looked for it from the insurance company."
Q@. “Was it paiat"

A. "I don't recollect--I know the first aid fee
was paid.”
Appellant made no objection at the time that the questions and
answers were given, but later during the trial, made a motion to
withdraw a juror and declare a mis-trial and assigned as a reason
the witness* reference to an insurance company. It was a voluntary
statement. The witness’ reference to the insurance company was not
responsive to the question and was not brought into the case by
appellee or her attorney. Appellant madeno motion to strike the
evidence and did not ask the court to instruct the jury to disregard
it. Had such motion been made, no doubt it would have been granted.
The court did not err in overruling the motion to withdraw a juror
and declare a mistrial. Savage v. Hayes Bros. Co., 142 Ill. App. 316,
Appellant sought to prove by witness Widmer, an architect of
many years experience, that the steps-up in the floor of the corridor,
leading to the Fourth Street entrance, was a safe method of construc-
tion and one that was usuaily followed in the erection of hotels and
other public buildings in that vicinity. The court sustained ob-
jection to such offer. The question for the jury did not call fora
test of the sufficiency of such construction as compared with the
construction of other publie buildings in that community but whether
there was negligence in the keeping and maintaining of these steps-
up under the conditions and surrounding circumstances that existed
at the time of the accident. The solution of such a question by the
jury did not lead them into a consideration of such intricate facts
or matters that they needed the opinion of an expert to aid them in
form'ng a jucgment thereon. There was no error in rejecting this
expert testimony. People v. Jennings, 252 Ill. 534; Siegel, Cooper
eerCe. Ve. Ireka, 218-TI11l. 559.
Error is assigned on the giving of instructions numbered 21 and
22 tendered by appellee. These instructions were in reference to
the measure of damages and are the same as have been considered and
approved many times by the courts of review of this state. Chic.
emdeMAl. Blee. Ry. Co. v. Ullrich, 215 Ill. 170; Parmelee Co. Vv.

Appellant contends that the reference in the instruction
declaration was prejudicial error, This particular objection to a
similar instruction was passed upon adversely to appellant's contention

- jury in determining the amount of damages to which the plaintiff was
entitled, they had a right to and should take into consideration
all the facts and circumstances, was criticized in Garvey Vv. Chicago
Rys. Co., 359 Ill. 276, but held not to be reversible error.
The remaining error assigned is as to the amount of the verdict.
The verdict was for $9000. and the trial court required a remittitur
of $1500. A remittitur was filed and judgment entered for $7500,
The evidence shows that appellee's fall resulted in the fracture
of the left forearm at or near the wrist. Ex-ray pictures were taken
at the time of the accident and disclosed a fracture of the distal
end of the radius extending approximately into the wrist joint and
also a fracture of the styloid process at the end of the ulna bone.
The bones in the region of the fracture were broken into parts causing
greater pain and suffering and requiring longer period for recovery
than is usual in an ordinary fracture. Immediately after the fracture
had been reduced, appellee was taken to her home in Qmaha where she
entered her husband's hospital for care and treatment, remaining
there for a period of six weeks. After leaving the hospital, she was
confined to her bed most of the time for @ period of six months. Dr.
Schrock, a bone specialist in Omaha and Dr. Rubnitz, a pathologist on
diseases of the blood and stomach, gave her medical attention, This
extended over a long period of time. The injury was followed by cer-
tain nervous disorders. After leaving the hospital, appellee wore a
splint until July, 1931. The evidence shows that as a result of the
injury, the bones were atrophied and weakened and that during all this
time she suffered pain from the injury. Appellee's age is not shown
in the abstract but from facts appearing in the record, we assume that
she is middle age or .ast. Prior to the accident, she drove a car,
did sewing and a part of her household duties in caring for her own
home. The doctors, testifying for appellee, gave it as their opinion
that the injury was permanent and that appellee would lose one-third
the usefulness of that arm. It appears that further medical treatment
would be necessary and thet at the time of the trial, the total pecuniary
loss for medicine, medical bills and violet ray treatments wes in excess
of $900. From a consideration of all the evidence, we cannot say that
the verdict was the result of bias or prejudice of the jury or that it
is so excessive as to demand a reversal on that ground.
For the reasons assigned, the judgment of the lower court will be
affirmed. Judgment Affirmed.

of this Court an opinion was filed
West Frankfort.
Stone, J:
At the May Term, 1933
in the above entitled cause, sustaining the demurrer to Plaintiff
in Error's replicaticns to the pleas of Defendant in Error alleg-=
ing that Plaintiff in Error was in contempt of the trial Court
and therefore could not be heard here on his writ of error by
reason of that fact Plaintiff in Error was given leave to file
amended replications which he did.Demurrer was interposed to
these aod upon further consideration, we filed an opinion on
December 26th, 1933 holding that the amended replications did
not answer the pleas. Being anxious, however, that no injustice
be done, Plaintiff in Error, we said:
"The trial ccurt is in better position than this
eourt to determine what equity requires to purge plain-
tiff in error of contempt. His present aiility to pay
the amounts now unpaid is a question proper for that
court to consider. WNo evidence on that subject is pre-~
served for our inspection.
As his answer to the original bill was rejected by
the trial court on his first contempt in refusing to
pay, and the dismissing of his writ of error would per-
haps deprive him of any right of review, (the decree being
two years old, and a new law of practice takins effect
January 1, next,) and as the lapse of time may have de-
veloped facts which should be considered in a court of

equity with respect to the amount plaintiff in error
ousht now to be required to pay, it is ordered that pro-
ceedings in this court on the present writ of error be
stayed until the first day of the next February term of
this court.
In the interim between nw and thet date, plaintiff
in error, if he be so advised, may apply to the trial court
for such modification of the existing orders concerning
alimony and expense money to be paid by him, as equity
may require, may make such showing to that court as the
facts justify and purge himself of contempt. That court
still retains jurisdiction of the questions of alimony
and expense money involved in the original suit, in their
application to the matter of contempt."
In response to the above quoted part of our last opinion.
Plaintiff in Error comes into Court with a lone report of con-
troversies with the trial Court. He is in no better shape than
he was on his wirt of error at the October Term or the May Tern,
1933. We have made no progress.
Je feel that we have been generous with Plaintiff in Error
in this matter. We do not feel warranted in holding any longer
the issue before us waiting for adjustment of matters which are
cognizable only in the trial Court.
As stated in ovr former opinion the replications do not
answer the pleas and are obnoxous to demurrer. The demurrer to
the replications is sustained; judgment is awarded upon the pleas
and the writ of error is dismissed,
