• 80 Ill. 248

Syllabus

<p>1. Decebe—can not be questioned,, when rendered by consent. Where the attorney of a party to a suit files a stipulation in the case, whereby he consents that a decree may be rendered against his client for a certain amount, and a decree for that amount is afterwards entered, although the decree may not recite or refer to the stipulation, still, being filed before the commencement of the hearing, such stipulation becomes a part of the record, and precludes the party on whose behalf it is filed from questioning the amount of the decree.</p> <p>2. Interest—decree can only d/t'am simper cent. Under the statute, judgments and decrees can only draw six per cent interest, and a decree which provides that the sum found due shall hear ten per cent interest until paid, is erroneous to the extent of the difference between six and ten per cent interest.</p>
