Ziech v. Hehard
Appellate Court of Illinois
Trespass oil the Case.—Death from negligence. Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. Abner Smith, Judge, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Waterman
The record fails to show what negligence, if any, the defendant was guilty of, which resulted in the accident.
The table fell, but that the fall was the result of negligence on the part of the defendant, does not appear.
The action of negligence is based upon a neglect of duty, and both the duty and the neglect must be proven by the plaintiff. R. R. Co. v. Evans, 88 Ill. 63; R. R. Co. v. Mock, 88 Ill. 87; R. R.
