Supreme Court of the United States
Illinois Ex Rel. Gersch v. City of Chicago, 226 U.S. 451 (1913)
33 S. Ct. 178; 57 L. Ed. 295; 1913 U.S. LEXIS 2248

Illinois Ex Rel. Gersch v. City of Chicago

Opinion

Memorandum opinion, by direction of the court, by

Mr. Chief Justice White:

This is a companion case to Preston v. City of Chicago, No. 195, just disposed of. Unlike the record in the Preston case, however, the record in this case does not contain the final judgment to which the writ of error is directed. As we cannot assume that a judgment was- in fact entered in the Supreme Court of Illinois, it results that we are without authority to exert jurisdiction.

Writ of error dismissed.
