Relies on Roby v. Title Guarantee & Trust Co.

Affirmed · Decided 1901-11-26

Mr. Justice Shepard

¶1delivered the opinion of the court.

¶2This case is like that of Thomas Brown et al. v. Schintz, trustee, and Huber and Mann, supra. This case, like that one, is for a foreclosure of trust deeds made by the appellants to Schintz, to secure building loans agreed to be advanced as the work progressed on the buildings. Except as to the amounts advanced and secured by the trust deeds, and as to some minor matters, the facts are the same in both cases, and the decree is the same. As to the amount secured by the trust deeds, the decree recites :

“ It is agreed in open court between Albion Cate, solicitor for the defendants Brown, and Ives, Mason & Wyman, solicitors for said defendants Huber and Mann, that the said sums of $1,319.61, exclusive of solicitor’s fees and costs, and $371.13, exclusive of solicitor’s fees and costs, are the correct amounts secured by said trust deeds respectively.”

¶3This recital is conclusive, and can not be contradicted by the affidavit filed and not brought to the attention of the court below. (See Roby v. Title Guarantee and Trust Co., 166 Ill. 336.)

¶4As is well said by appellant’s counsel, “ the contentions in this case are identical with those in Thomas Brown et al. v. Theodore H. Schintz, trustee, et al., ante; the record is substantially the same, and the same rules of decision will apply in both cases.”

¶5And the decree is asked to be reversed for the same reasons urged in the Thomas Brown case.

¶6We see no reason for repeating the opinion, and therefore, for the reasons stated in that case, affirm the decree.
