Decided 1885-11-14

Mr. Justice Scott

¶1delivered the opinion of the Court:

¶2On the 30th day of July, 1884, Lebbeus H. Rogers filed his petition in the county court of Cook county, in which he claimed he was the owner of certain personal property in the hands of T. H. Traver, under and by virtue of an assignment made to him by Cushing, Cummings & Co., and asked the court to order such assignee to'turn the property over to petitioner. On the hearing’ in the county court the property in controversy was adjudged to belong to petitioner, and the assignee was by the court directed to deliver it to him. From * that decision the assignee prayed fór and was allowed an appeal to the circuit court, which he afterwards perfected by filing the usual appeal bond. On motion of the petitioner the appeal was dismissed out of the circuit court for want of jurisdiction in that court to entertain such appeal. The assignee excepted in due form to this decision of the circuit court, and on his further appeal the cause was heard in the Appellate Court for the First District, where the judgment of the circuit court was reversed, and was remanded to that court for “such other proceedings as to law and justice shall appertain.” Since then petitioner has brought the case to this court on error. •

¶3It is obvious this is not a final judgment in the sense those terms are used in the statute, so that the unsuccessful party could bring the case to this court on appeal or writ of error. It is simply a judgment of reversal, and the cause is remanded to the circuit court for “such other proceedings as to law and justice shall appertain.” This question has been so often discussed in this court it need not now be elaborated. Anderson v. Fruitt, 108 Ill. 388.

¶4The writ of error will be dismissed, which is done.

¶5Writ of error dismissed.
