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.
