Bromwell v. Schubert
Appellate Court of Illinois
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. O. H. Horton, Judge, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtGary, J.
December 7, 1888, the appellant filed in the Probate Court of Cook County a claim against the estate of her deceased husband, for money loaned to him in 1876, 1877 and 1879. Being there unsuccessful, she appealed to the Circuit Court, and having put in testimony that in 1877 she handed him $1,500, and again in 1879 $2,000 (having no attorney, her prosecution was very lame), the court instructed the jury that there being no evidence before them tending to prove the plaintiff’s right to recover in the suit, it was the duty of the jury to find the issues for the defendant, which they did.
