LeBeau v. Pittsburg, C., C. & St. L. Ry. Co.
Appellate Court of Illinois
Trespass on the Case, for personal injuries. Appeal from the Superior Court of Cook County; the Hon, William G. Ewing, Judge, presiding:
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Waterman
It is urged that appellee ivas negligent in not warning the plaintiff to keep away from this crossing.
Such warning, unless enforced by physical force, it is not likely would have been of any service, nor does it appear that appellee had the right to warn or keep boys away from this place. Appellant was injured upon a public street in which he had a right to be. A warning to boys to keep away from a place into which they know they have a right to go, is not usually sufficient to induce them to keep away, especially when the warning is by one not clothed with authority.
