1. Municipal Court of Chicago, § 13 * —when affidavit of merits insufficient. In an action for money due for goods sold and delivered, affidavit of merits held not to show an agreement to extend time for payment so as to constitute a defense where it does not show facts as to the extension of time for payment and does not state for how long the extension was made, but sets up an indefinite arrangement to pay out of the profits.

Judgment by default, when affidavit of merits stricken may be entered for full amount of plaintiff’s claim without requiring the damages to be assessed by a jury, even though an appearance has been filed and a jury demanded.
