Appellate Court of Illinois · decided 1886-11-20

<p>Injury to Personal Property — Jurisdiction of Justice.</p> <p>A Justice of the Peace has jurisdiction of an action to recover damages for an injury to personal property.</p>

Relies on Chicago & Alton R. R. v. Calkins

Decided 1886-11-20

Per Curiam.

¶1This was a suit before a Justice of the Peace to recover damages for injury to personal property, and was dismissed by the Circuit Court upon appeal, on the ground that the justice had no j urisdiction of the snbj ect-matter. We think this was error, for reasons stated in the opinion filed in Skinner et ah v. Morgan, decided at this term. See also C. & A. R. R. Co. v. Calkins, 17 Ill. App. 56.

¶2Reversed and remanded.
