Smith v. Coats, 19 Ill. 405 (1858)

April 1858 · Illinois Supreme Court
19 Ill. 405

Warren Smith v. Augustus B. Coats.

A writ of error, and not by appeal, is the proper mode of bringing a question before the Supreme Court, in reference to taxation of costs upon a fee bill replevied.

This was a motion to dismiss an appeal, taken from the decision of the Circuit Court of Lake county, upon a fee bill replevied, that court having refused to reform certain items of the fee bill.

Per Cwriam.

The motion in this case must be sustained. An appeal does not lie from such a judgment.

The proper mode of relief is by writ of error.

Motion sustained and appeal dismissed.
