Citations
- 73 Ill. 244
Syllabus
<p>1. Practice—restoring lost records. If a petition under the act to provide for restoring lost records is amended in a material respect, the amendment should be sworn to; but if the amendment is only formal, and not as to material matters, it is not necessary that it should be sworn to.</p> <p>3. The statute providing for restoring lost records does not require the evidence to be preserved, and where the decree is in accordance with the requirement of the statute, and the evidence is not preserved in the record, it will not be presumed that the court rendered the decree on insufficient evidence.</p>
