    "head_matter": "The Lord & Bushnell Company, Defendant in Error, v. W. J. Campbell, trading as W. J. Campbell Lumber Company, Plaintiff in Error.\nGen. No. 20,726.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nError to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. William N. Gemmill, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the October term, 1914.\nReversed and judgment here.\nOpinion filed March 8, 1915.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Set-off and bbcottpment, \u00a7 40 \u2014when evidence insufficient to establish. Evidence examined and held insufficient to establish contract whereon claim of set-off based.\n2. Contbacts, \u00a7 372*\u2014when existence not affected by destruction of writing evidencing it. The fact that the original writing evidencing the terms of an agreement entered into between the parties, which was signed and delivered, is destroyed does not destroy the agreement, but the terms of the agreement may be \u201e shown by introducing a copy.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by The Lord & Bushnell Company, a corporation, plaintiff, against W. J. Campbell, trading as W. J. Campbell Lumber Company, defendant, to recover an unpaid balance claimed to be due for the purchase of certain lumber sold to defendant. The sale and delivery of the lumber at the price alleged was admitted by defendant, but he claimed to have had a contract with plaintiff for further lumber at the same price and that this contract was violated by plaintiff\u2019s refusal to deliver the balance of the lumber, to the damage of defendant.\nThe agreement between the parties was created through letters between them which were introduced in evidence.\nPlaintiff\u2019s statement of claim also included an item for an allowance on lumber bought of defendant but rejected by plaintiff and an agreement by defendant to make such allowance was established.\nTo reverse a judgment for plaintiff for $359.19, defendant prosecutes this writ of error.\nMorse Ives, for plaintiff in error.\nLouis J. Behan, for defendant in error.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols, XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
