Yates v. Shaw

This was an action of quare clausum fregit, instituted in the Peoria Circuit Court, by appellee against appellant, for breaking and entering his close on the S. E. 11, T. 10 N., 7 E. of the fourth principal meridian. An issue was formed on the plea of not guilty; a trial was had by the court and jury, which resulted in a verdict of twenty-five cents in favor of plaintiff. The defendant thereupon entered a motion for a new trial, which was overruled by the court, and judgment rendered on the verdict, from which defendant prosecutes an appeal.
