9 Ill. App. 374

Wakefield v. Pennington

Opinion of the Court

Wall, J.

Defendant in error brought an action of assumpsit against plaintiff in error. The summons was duly served, and at the return term a default was entered and damages assessed at $324.44. The record fails to show that a declaration was ever filed in the case β€” rather, it shows that there was none β€”nor has a diminution been suggested or any reason for supposing that there was a declaration and that it has been misplaced. The judgment must therefore be reversed, and the cause remanded.

Eeversed and remanded.
