    In reviewing the record for evidence of gambling, we cannot consider, for the truth of the matter asserted, any evidence that was not admitted for that purpose. If a liquor commissioner during a hearing admits evidence for a limited purpose, then the commission must "heed[]" its own limit. Seul's Inc. v. Illinois Liquor Control Comm'n, 240 Ill. App. 3d 828, 832 (1992). "[N]othing can be treated as evidence that is not admitted as such."

    Under the law of administrative review, an administrative hearing is required to provide due process. Seul's Inc. v. Liquor Control Comm'n, 240 Ill. App.3d 828, 608 N.E.2d 530 (1992). A fundamental principle of due process, applicable to administrative agencies and commissions, is that no person who has a personal interest in the subject matter of a suit may sit in judgment on that case.
