1889In the ease of Wiggins Ferry Co. v. Higgins, supra, the same complaint was made, that the damages were excessive, and that punitive damages had been assessed; but the court say in reply to that objection, that “ even if this is true it has worked appellant no injury, as we see from the evidence that only compensatory damages were assessed * * * and we never reverse a judgment simply because an inaccurate instruction has been given when we can see that it has resulted in no injury to the party against whom it has been given.” And to the same effect is Meyer v. Pfeiffer, 50 Ill. 485 .
