• 91 Ill. 125

Syllabus

<p>1. Forcible detainer—complaint not marked filed. Where a complaint in writing in a forcible detainer suit is transmitted with the papers on appeal from a justice of the peace, and the justice's transcript shows that a complaint was filed, this will be sufficient to give the court jurisdiction, there being no law requiring a justice of the peace to mark the papers filed in a case before him.</p> <p>2. Same—evidence of termination of tenancy. In case of a tenancy at will, a notice of its termination is competent evidence, on the trial of an action of forcible detainer to recover possession by the landlord.</p>
