  2. Merlo v. Public Service Co. of Northern Illinois

    313 Ill. App. 57 (Ill. App. Ct. 1942)   Cited 1 times

    In this connection its counsel say: "On this appeal, so far as defendant Porter Company is concerned, the sole question presented for determination is whether or not such an agency existed between Wagner and the Porter Company as made it liable for his negligence." And counsel argue that the court erred in refusing to hold as a matter of law that the operator of the crane [Wagner] was not, at the time of the occurrence, the servant of the defendant Porter Company and in support of this cite Meyer v. All-Electric Bakery, Inc., 271 Ill. App. 522; Perong v. Eudeikes, 223 Ill. App. 72; Allen-Garcia Co. v. Industrial Commission, 334 Ill. 390; Thompson v. Industrial Commission, 351 Ill. 356, and cases from other jurisdictions. Some of these cases support counsel's contention but we think it unnecessary to discuss the facts and analyze the cases for the reason we are of opinion that viewing the evidence most favorably to the Porter Company, the question whether Wagner was its agent was for the jury.
