Illinois Supreme Court · Decided December 15, 1839
2 Ill. 596

Emerson v. Clark

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

The statute gives an appeal in all cases where the judgment appealed from is final, and amounts to the sum of twenty dollars, exclusive of costs, or relates to a franchise or -freehold. The party had a right to his appeal upon giving bond and security, without any other conditions. The Court, upon this motion, will not investigate the propriety of the Circuit Court’s permitting the papers to be verified by the affidavit of the party.

This motion is overruled.

Motion overruled.
