Appellate Court of Illinois June 12, 1900 (Platt v. Curtiss)

Mr. Justice Haekee

delivered the opinion of the court.

These suits were commenced in the Circuit Court of Sangamon County against appellant for damages caused by his filling up an open ditch whereby the adjacent lands of appellees were flooded.

By agreement the venue was changed to Morgan county, and there the two cases were tried together by the court, the jury having been waived.
