Illinois Supreme Court January 15, 1876 (Harris v. Simmerman)

Mr. Justice Scholfield

delivered the opinion of the Co'urt:

The suit is for the balance due for a safe sold and delivered by the plaintiff to the defendants. Proof is made of payment to one Cochnower, the agent of plaintiff, by whom the sale was effected, and the only question is, whether this payment is good as against the plaintiff.
