• 75 Ill. 173

Syllabus

<p>1. Writ of error. A writ of error is a writ of right, and the final judgment of an inferior court of record is subject to review by this court on a writ of error, except in cases where the legislature has provided otherwise.</p> <p>2. Same — contested election. A proceeding to contest an election being purely statutory is governed entirely by the statute, and that having provided for reviewing the action of the county court by appeal, that remedy must be pursued, and a writ of error will not lie. If no remedy by appeal had been given, then a writ of error would lie.</p>
