Abraham v. Huntington, 19 Ill. 403 (1858)

April 1858 · Illinois Supreme Court
19 Ill. 403

Abraham v. Huntington et al.

The Circuit Court must approve an appeal bond; that power cannot be delegated to the Clerk.

This was a motion to dismiss the appeal, because the appeal bond filed in said cause was not approved by the Circuit Court, but was approved by the clerk; the order allowing the appeal directed that the bond should be filed within thirty days, and approved by the clerk.

Per Curiam.

The bond in this appeal was not taken as required by law. The court should approve of the bond; that power cannot be delegated to the clerk.
