Illinois Appellate Court Defines A Day's Travel At Twenty Miles
An Illinois appellate court ruling holds that twenty miles constitutes a day’s travel for a witness. The case arose when a Chicago to Morrison witness traveled over one hundred miles each way, with mileage and daily wages claimed. Judge Ward opposed the payment as exorbitant, appealing through circuit and appellate courts. The discussion also recalls Lord Kitchener praising West Point during a New York visit.
