Illinois Supreme Court January 15, 1863 (Warren v. Dickson)

Caton, C. J.

We think the second instruction, as asked for the defendant, should have been given to the jury, and that the instruction given by the court, in lieu of it, did not enable the jury to comprehend the law as applicable to the evidence in the cause.

It appears that the defendant and A. 0. Dickson, one of the plaintiffs, had been in the lumber business, as partners.
