Illinois Supreme Court · decided 1846-12-15

Motions, in the Madison Circuit Court, to quash two executions issued from that Court in -favor of appellee against appellant, made by the appellant at the May term 1846, the Hon. John D. Catón presiding. On hearing the motions, the Court denied the same, and an appeal was taken from that decision.

Decided 1846-12-15

¶1The Opinion of the Court was delivered by

Treat, J.

¶2It appears from the record in this case, that the Madison Circuit Court, at its May term 1846, denied an application of Aaron Corey to quash two executions in favor of William Russell and against said Corey. That decision is now assigned for error. The testimony on which the Circuit Court based its decision is not before us, and we cannot therefore inquire into the propriety of the decision. The clerk has copied into the transcript certain papers, which were probably read as evidence on the hearing of the motion. That, however, does not make them a part of the record. The appellant should have introduced the evidence into the record by tendering a bill of exceptions. See the case of Saunders v. McCollins, 4 Scam. 419, and the cases there referred to.

¶3The judgment of the Circuit Court is affirmed with costs.

¶4Judgment affirmed.
