Cases

Blue v. Leathers



Bradford v. Jones

Justice(s):

Justice John D. Caton


Brazzle and Hawkins v. Usher

Usher sued Brazzle and Hawkins for trespass vi et armis in the Gallatin County Circuit Court and obtained a judgment against them. Brazzle and Hawkins appealed, arguing that no plea was filed, thus rendering the trial improper. However, as both parties were present at the trial and raised no objections, the Illinois Supreme Court deemed their appearance as curing any defects. Therefore, the original judgment was affirmed.
