North Chicago Street Railroad v. Cottingham

Appellate Court of Illinois

Decided February 9, 1892PublishedCited by 4 opinions

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. S. P. McConnell, Judge, presiding.

1Opinion of the CourtGary, J.

The appellee sued both companies for an injury he sustained while on a car of the last named company, in consequence of a collision between cars, one of one, and the other of the other company. We shall leave untouched all questions relating to the merits of the case arid the sufficiency of the evidence, as there is one fatal error which may not be disregarded. Whatever might be said upon other points would be unnecessary, and might be afterward treated as superfluous. Johnson v. People, 40 Ill. App. 382; Wells on Res Adjudicata and Stare Decisis, Sec. 581 et seq.
