Appellate Court of Illinois · Decided June 24, 1913 · Clark
181 Ill. App. 428

Mooney v. Valentynowicz

Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Clark

delivered the opinion of the court.

Judgment was entered on a note for $126, in which judgment an attorney’s fee of $15 was incorporated. This amount is mentioned in the cognovit, and the trial judge evidently did not observe that there was no provision in the note itself for attorney’s fees. After judgment was entered it was opened and testimony heard on the question as to whether or not the note had been paid.

We think the court was correct in holding that payment had not been shown. The judgment will therefore be affirmed provided the defendant in error enters in this court within ten days a remittitur in the sum of $15. Otherwise the judgment will be reversed and the cause remanded.

Affirmed on remittitur; otherwise reversed and remanded.

Memittitur filed and judgment affirmed June 26,1913.
