• 90 Ill. 416

Syllabus

<p>1. Judicial notice—of the incorporation of milage under general lam. Where a town previously organized under a special act assumes and is acting as a village, which it can only do under the general law for the incorporation of cities and villages, and the evidence shows it assumed to act as a village in the passage of ordinances, and in the bringing of suits in its corporate village name, this will be sufficient to enable this court to take judicial notice of its organization under the general law, without proof that all the requirements of the statute have been .complied with.</p> <p>2. Practice—-¡specific objection to evidence. Where the proof showed that a village ordinance was, within five days after its passage, posted in three public places in the village, there being no evidence that there was no newspaper published in the village at the time, and the ordinance was objected to generally on the trial, it was held, that the objection it was not published in a newspaper could not avail in this court, as, if made below, it might have been obviated by showing no such paper was published in the village.</p> <p>3. An objection to an ordinance, in this court, for the first time, that it does not appear it was passed by calling the ayes and noes, where the record of the village trustees was not offered in evidence, can not avail the party objecting.</p>
