• 53 Ill. 258

Syllabus

<p>1. Abstbacts and bbiefs—necessity thereof. In this case, the plaintiff in error failed to comply with the rules by filing an abstract or a printed brief, and the cause was dismissed on account of such omission.</p> <p>2. Appeals, and writs of error to inferior courts. In the absence of statutory provision, this court has no authority to hear writs of error directed to inferior courts, or to hear appeals from such courts.</p> <p>3. Same—of remewing decisions of the common pleas court of the city of Mattoon. So this court has no jurisdiction to hear a writ of error directed to the common pleas court of the city of Mattoon, there being no law authorizing causes to be brought from that court to the supreme court, on error or by appeal.</p>
