Voigt v. Anglo-American Provision Co.
Appellate Court of Illinois
Trespass on the Case.—Death by negligent act. Error to the Superior Court of Cook County; the Hon. Philip Stein, Judge presiding. Heard in this court at the March term, 1902.
1Opinion of the Court
Mr. Presiding Justice Ball
delivered the opinion of the court.
In the written motion for a new trial none of the special findings are objected to as contrary to the evidence or as not supported by the evidence. The assignment that the verdict is against the weight of the evidence applies to the general verdict of not guilty. It does not include the special findings. It is too late to object to them for the first time in this court. They stand here as fully sustained by the evidence. Avery v. Moore, 133 Ill. 74; Penn. Coal Co. v. Kelly, 156 Ill. 15; Empire M. Co. v. Brady, 164 Ill. 61.
Hence it…
