No. 20,490.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nError to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Edward T. Wade, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in this court at the October term, 1914.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed November 1, 1915.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Friedrich Heinz, plaintiff, against Baldwin County Colonization Company, a corporation, defendant, to recover $251 paid by plaintiff to defendant on a contract entered into April 1, 1909, for the purchase of certain real estate of defendant for $1,000, the contract having been entered into while plaintiff was a minor. The court gave plaintiff judgment for the amount claimed, and to reverse such judgment this writ of error is prosecuted.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Appeal and error, \u00a7 1377 \u2014when refusal to permit further cross-emarmnation of plaintiff not ground for reversal. The refusal of the trial court, after a plaintiff called as a witness in his own behalf had been examined and cross-examined and after two postponements of the hearing, to permit him to be recalled for further cross-examination, held not an abuse of the trial court\u2019s discretion.\nThe trial began February 10, 1914. . Plaintiff was called as a witness in his own behalf, was examined and cross-examined, and the further hearing of the cause was then postponed to February 28th. It was further postponed to April 3rd. April 1st defendant\u2019s attorney gave notice to plaintiff\u2019s attorney that he desired to further cross-examine plaintiff, and, if not produced, he would move to strike out his testimony. He was not produced. Defendant\u2019s motion to strike out his testimony was denied.\nPlaintiff became of age December 12,1909. In April,' 1910, and again in October, 1912, he informed the defendant that he did not want to keep the land and demanded his money back. The land was not conveyed to the plaintiff, but a contract of purchase and sale was entered into. Defendant offered to repay bim $75 of the $251 that he paid, but he declined the offer.\nSabath, Stafford & Sabath, for plaintiff in error.\nJohn M. Bryant, for defendant in error.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and. section number."
