Syllabus

<p>Practice—action of the trial court in case a judgment of reversal of the Appellate Court is reversed in the Supreme Court. A decree of the circuit court giving equitable relief against several, was reversed by the Appellate Court, and the cause remanded, with directions to dismiss the bill as to one of the original defendants, which was accordingly done; but after this, on writ of error from this court, the judgment of the Appellate Court was reversed for want of jurisdiction, and that court directed to dismiss the writ of error issued therefrom, which it did. The circuit court then, on motion, vacated its order of dismissal, leaving the original decree stand as when first entered: Held, no error, and that on the reversal of the order of the Appellate Court it was as if it had never been made, and that complainant was entitled to be restored to his rights under the original decree.</p>
