Abstract of the Decision.
1. Municipal Court op Chicago, § 13 * - — when statement of claim is sufficient.

2. Municipal Court op Chicago, § 28* — when objection to statement of claim may not be raised. Objection to the sufficiency of the statement of claim in an action in the Municipal Court of Chicago cannot first be raised on appeal.
