The action is brought against Andrew and Peter Bagor. There is no evidence in the record to charge Peter Bagor. He is not shown to have been an owner, or to have any interest whatever in the omnibus. Counsel for appellee is mistaken in saying, \u201c it was proved in evidence \u201d that the defendants were the owners of the offending omnibus. The record contains no such evidence. It shows that Andrew Bagor was one of the proprietors, but it was not shown who were the others. Peter Eagor\u2019s name is not mentioned in this connection. A verdict and judgment wholly unsupported by the evidence, can not stand.\nThe judgment must be reversed, and the cause remanded for a new trial.\nJudgment reversed.",

A joint judgment against two defendants in trespass, as the owners of an omnibus, for running into a carriage, where there is no evidence of ownership or interest as to one of the defendants, can not be sustained on appeal or error.\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Cook county; the Hon. Lambert Tree, Judge, presiding.\nMr. B. W. Ellis, for the appellants.\nMr. John Woodbbidge, for the appellee."
