    "head_matter": "George E. Ford, Defendant in Error, v. M. Piowaty & Sons, Plaintiff in Error.\nGen. No. 21,112.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nError to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. John Courtney, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1915.\nReversed and remanded.\nOpinion filed January 11, 1916.\nRehearing denied January 25, 1916.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by George E. Ford, plaintiff, against M. Piowaty & Sons, a corporation, defendant, to recover the purchase price of goods sold and delivered at the defendant\u2019s special instance and request. On judgment for plaintiff, defendant brings error.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Appeal and error, \u00a7 1470 \u2014when receipt of secondary evidence without laying proper foundation reversible error. In an action for goods sold and delivered, held that the receipt of secondary evidence over objections thereto, without laying a proper foundation therefor was reversible error.\n2. Sales, \u00a7 329 \u2014when evidence insufficient to sustain verdict. In an action for goods sold and delivered, evidence which merely tends to show that a deal was made by the plaintiff with a party whom the plaintiff claims was an officer or agent of the defendant, supplemented by evidence of the contents of a check purporting to come from the defendant without adequate proof of notice to produce the original, and of a letter purporting to come from the defendant without adequate proof either that it came from or was authorized by the defendant, and of certain inclosures therewith that were incompetent without adequate proof of the letter itself, is insufficient to sustain a judgment for the plaintiff.\nSabath, Stafford & Sabath, for plaintiff in error.-\nStewart Reed Brown, for defendant in error.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
