    "head_matter": "Abe E. Friedman, Defendant in Error, v. Joseph Shuflitowski, Plaintiff in Error.\nGen. No. 17,532.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nError to the Superior Court of Cook county; the Hon. Richard E. Burke, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1911.\nReversed and remanded.\nOpinion filed October 9, 1913.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Abe E. Friedman against Joseph Shuflitowski for damages for personal injuries from alleged assault by defendant upon plaintiff. From a judgment for plaintiff for five hundred dollars, defendant brings error.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Evidence, \u00a7 423 \u2014when expert cannot testify as to cause of injury. Where there is a conflict in the evidence whether plaintiff received an injury as claimed, the opinions of medical witnesses upon that subject are not competent.\n2. Evidence, \u00a7 471*\u2014what weight necessary. The jury are not required in a civil case to be \u201csatisfied\u201d from all the evidence.\n3. Assault and battery, \u00a7 7*\u2014what constitutes self-defense. An instruction in an action for assault which requires defendant to establish that an act of alleged self-defense was necessary instead of requiring, him to show that it reasonably appeared to be necessary, is erroneous.\n4. Instructions, \u00a7 62*\u2014assuming facts. An instruction in an action for assault, which -allows the jury to award exemplary damages if malice has been shown without conditioning it upon defendant\u2019s having been found guilty, is erroneous.\nJ. G. Grossberg and George M. Weichelt, for plaintiff in error.\nHenry T. Chace, Jr., for defendant in error.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XIV, same topic and section number."
