19 Ill. App. 564

Carroll v. Holmes

Appellate Court of Illinois

Decided June 18, 1886

Appellate Court of Illinois · decided 1886-06-18

<p>Practice. — Briefs in type-writing are not in compliance with rule 22 of this court. The briefs so written are ordered stricken from the files and the judgment reversed, pi-o forma, under rule 27.</p>

Decided 1886-06-18

Per Curiam.

¶1In this case the briefs of appellee and the reply brief of appellant are both written with “type-writers.” Pule 22 of this court provides that printed briefs will be required in all cases. We can not recognize briefs in typewriting as being in compliance with the rule. In the present instance, some of the copies filed are legible, while others are quite illegible ; and no doubt this latter would frequently be the case if a practice of this kind was permitted.

¶2It is ordered that the briefs of appellee and the reply briefs of appellant be stricken from the files; and that the judgment be reversed, pro forma, under rule 27, for the want of briefs on the part of appellee, and that the cause be remanded for a new trial.

¶3Reversed and remanded.
