40 Ill. 49
Decided April 15, 1867
Illinois Supreme Court · decided 1867-04-15
This was an appeal by the plaintiff in the court below from a judgment in an action of forcible entry and detainer. The appeal bond was not executed by the plaintiff, but by another person who it seems was the plaintiff’s landlord. The appellee moved to dismiss the appeal, because the bond was not signed by the plaintiff.
Decided 1867-04-15
¶1It is essential to the sufficiency of the appeal bond that it should be executed by the plaintiff. It will not suffice that it be executed by the landlord of the plaintiff, although the suit was in reference to the possession of premises which the plaintiff claimed the right to hold as tenant of the party executing the bond.
¶2Appeal dismissed.
