Illinois Supreme Court
People ex rel. Stine v. Supervisors of Vermillon County, 40 Ill. 125 (Ill. 1866)

People ex rel. Stine v. Supervisors of Vermillon County

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam :

We cannot award the writ to be made returnable at Springfield. The jurisdiction of this court, is, in that regard, exclusive in each grand division. A writ issued in one division cannot be made returnable in another division, any more than a writ issued from a Circuit Court in one county can be made returnable to the court in another county in the same circuit. It is a well settled rule that a suit commenced in one jurisdiction must be prosecuted to its final determination in that jurisdiction, unless removed into another jurisdiction under some provision of law.
