Angus v. Lee
Appellate Court of Illinois
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the lion. S. P. McConnell, Judge, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtGary, J.
We do not decide that the appellee has no cause of action; the question is not presented by this record; but we do decide that the instruction, upon which a verdict for the appellee was taken, is wrong.
The circumstances under which the injury complained of by the appellee happened to him, were that he was at work for one set of contractors upon the fourth floor of the Auditorium, and the defendants were building an interior wall at the level of the seventh floor; that he went under them, and a brick fell on him from their platform. The action is grounded upon negligence of the appellants.
