Plummer v. Rigdon
Illinois Supreme Court
Appeal from the Superior Court of Cook county; the Hon. John Burns, Judge, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Craig
This was an action of assumpsit, brought by Charles W. Eigdon, to recover damages from George W. Plummer, for the breach of a written contract executed by the parties for the exchange of certain real estate in Chicago.
A trial of the cause before a jury resulted in a verdict in favor of Eigdon, for $3000. The court denied a motion for a new trial, and rendered judgment upon the verdict, to reverse which, this appeal was brought.
It is first urged that, even if the measure of damages had been the difference in value between the lands agreed to be exchanged, the verdict is against the evidence.
