Pinneo v. Knox
Illinois Supreme Court · Decided September 15, 1881 · Walker
100 Ill. 471

Pinneo v. Knox

Opinion of the Court

Walker, J.:

In this case, in the court below, a bill was filed to foreclose a mortgage, and a decree rendered in that court, and an appeal is brought to this court. Motion is now entered to dismiss the appeal. We have frequently held that a bill to foreclose a mortgage does not involve a freehold, and that the appeal should be taken from the circuit to the Appellate Court, and not to this.

The appeal will therefore be dismissed.

Appeal dismissed«
