Rohrheimer v. Eagle, 30 Ill. App. 498 (1889)

Jan. 10, 1889 · Illinois Appellate Court

30 Ill. App. 498

Moses Rohrheimer v. James K. Eagle et al.

Practice— Bill of Exceptions—Presumption.

In the absence of the certificate of the judge of the trial court to the bill of exceptions, the presumption is in favor of the regularity of the proceedings.

[Opinion filed January 10, 1889.]

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Kankakee County; the Hon. H. J. Pillsuuby, Judge, presiding.

Mr. C. A. Lake, for appellant.

Per Curiam.

This is an appeal from Kankakee. Upon inspecting the record we find that there is no certificate of the judge to the bill of exceptions. In the absence of this certificate we can not inspect the evidence and we must presume the proceedings of the Circuit Court were in all respects regular, and the judgment was correct, the presumption of law being in favor of the regularity of the proceedings of all courts of general jurisdiction unless it affirmatively appears to the contrary.

Judgment affirmed.
