Appellate Court of Illinois
Transcript, from a justice of the peace. Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. Thomas G. Windes, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the March term, 1897. Affirmed if remittitur be filed, otherwise reversed and remanded. Opinion filed October 11, 1897.
1Per curiam
The appellee has not appeared to resist this appeal.
As appears to us upon an ex parte showing, he has recovered $25, as for a month’s wages, when he only claimed that he had earned half that sum, but claimed the other half for being wrongfully discharged before his term was out.
The case was tried by a jury whose verdict was:
“ We, the jury, find the issues for the plaintiff, and assess the plaintiff’s damages at the sum of twenty-five dollars ($25).”
The dispute on the trial was whether he was employed for a month, or by the day at the rate of $25 per month.
There is no preponderance of evidence…
