• 82 Ill. 48

Syllabus

<p>1. Practice—establishing disputed corner. On petition for the appointment of a commission to establish a lost or disputed comer, an answer from the defendants is proper, where they seek to deny that the corner is lost or in dispute.</p> <p>2. Default when answer is filed is error. Where the defendants in a petition to have a commission of surveyors appointed to establish a comer alleged to be in dispute, answer, denying that it is in dispute, it is error to default the defendants.</p> <p>3. Same—answer allowable. In a proceeding, under the statute, to permanently locate a disputed line or corner, an answer may be interposed to the petition as in any other case.</p>
