## Opinion text

MR. CHIEF JUSTICE GOLDENHERSH, concurring in the decision:
I agree with the appellate court that on this record the judgment should be affirmed. As noted by the appellate court, instructions adapted from Illinois Pattern Jury Instructions, Civil, No. 50.04 and No. 50.06 (2d ed. 1971), were given without objection from the defendant. (See 72 Ill. App. 3d 317, 322 .) In order to return a general verdict in favor of the plaintiff the jury was required to determine that at the time of the occurrence defendant’s employees were acting within the scope of their authority. The evidence was conflicting and there was enough evidence to support the jury’s verdict.
