• 79 Ill. 388

Syllabus

<p>I. New trial—newly discovered evidence. Where newly discovered evidence is merely cumulative, and not of a conclusive character, it is not a sufficient ground for granting a new trial.</p> <p>3. Instructions—clerical mistake in. Where the word plaintiff is used in an instruction instead of the word defendant, and the mistake is so palpable as to correct itself on a reading, it will be no ground for a reversal.</p> <p>3. Same—marking as given. A judgment will not be reversed because instructions are not marked “given,” when the. record shows that they were in fact given.</p>
