1Opinion of the CourtJustice Scott
The Appellate Court regarded the question whether the contract provided for the payment of liquidated damages or whether the sum therein mentioned was merely a penalty as not open for consideration in that court. Appellant, by his statement, seeks to show that this proposition was properly presented there and that it is one that can now be determined in this court. He has not, however, by his brief and argument cited authorities or stated reasons for the purpose of showing that the view of the circuit court in reference to this matter was incorrect, therefore we will not consider the question.
