No. 21,175.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nError to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Charles A. Williams, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1915.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed April 28, 1916.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by University Hospital, a corporation, plaintiff, against John B. DeVoney, defendant, to recover for board and nursing furnished by plaintiff to defendant\u2019s sister. To reverse a judgment in favor of plaintiff for $246, defendant prosecutes this writ of error.\nIt appeared that the provision for the board and nursing was originally made by her attending physician, Dr. Harrigan. Dr. Harrigan claimed that he acted at defendant\u2019s request, but defendant denied giving him the authority to arrange therefor. It appeared that later defendant visited the hospital. The cashier and superintendent thereof both testified that he then requested that his sister should not be moved from a private room to the ward and should have special nursing, and said he would pay and be responsible for the bill. He also denied having such a conversation. The cashier also testified that the previous bills had been paid by his checks.\nI. B. Perlman, for plaintiff in error.\nCameron & Matson, for defendant in error.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
