Town of Newburg v. Foreman

Illinois Supreme Court
Town of Newburg v. Foreman, 314 Ill. 615 (Ill. 1924)
145 N.E. 629
Thompson

Town of Newburg v. Foreman

Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Thompson

delivered the opinion of the court:

This was a proceeding to assess damages to appellants, the owners of certain lands in the town of Newburg, in Pike county, for property taken and damaged in the construction of a ditch for the purpose of carrying off waters from a public road, the action being brought under section 133 of the Road and Bridge act. Such a proceeding does not involve a freehold, (Motsinger v. Chenoweth, 308 Ill. 31,) and there is no assignment of error raising a constitutional question or any other question that gives this court jurisdiction of this appeal.

The cause is therefore transferred to the Appellate Court for the Third District.

Cause transferred.
