    "head_matter": "Edward A. Civilinski, by Julia Civilinski, Appellee, v. S. Mason Meek, Appellant.\nGen. No. 23,564.\n(Not to he reported in full.)\nAppeal from the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Habby C. Mohan, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1917.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed May 14, 1918.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Edward A. Civilinski, by Julia Civilinski, his next friend, plaintiff, against S. Mason Meek, defendant, to recover damages for personal injuries sustained as the result of a defective handrail on a stairway used in connection with premises in which plaintiff lived with his parents under lease from defendant. From a judgment for plaintiff for $350, defendant appeals.\nMeek & McDonald, for appellant; Elliot Evans, of counsel.\nJones & Keener, for appellee.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Appeal and error, \u00a7 479 \u2014 when error in instructions may not be complained of. Failure to object or take exception to instructions in the trial court precludes complaint on appeal that the instructions were erroneous.\n2. Appeal and error, \u00a7 438* \u2014 when objection as to variance is too late. Failure to object to the admission of evidence constituting a variance or to move to exclude it renders an objection to the evidence untenable on appeal.\n3. Appeal and error, \u00a7 450* \u2014 when error in admission of expert evidence is not reviewable. Admission of expert testimony without properly qualifying the witness is not reviewable where no objection to his testimony nor motion to strike appears in the record.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
