2 Ill. 511 | Ill. | 1838
delivered the opinion of the Court:
This was an attachment issued by a justice of the peace, in favour of Woodworth, against the schooner Constitution, for the services of Wdodworth on board the schooner. On the trial before the justice of the peace, a judgment was given in favor of the plaintiff, against the schooner, for $49,50. Subsequently to the judgment, Gurdon S. Hubbard and Henry G. Hubbard, for and in behalf of the schooner, filed an appeal bond in the office of the clerk of the Municipal court of the City of Chicago, and the cause was docketed in said Court for trial. On the hearing of the cause in the Municipal Court, that Court, on motion of Woodworth, dismissed the suit from the docket, and gave judgment for costs in favor of the plaintiff below, against the defendant. To reverse this judgment, an appeal has been brought to this Court by Gurdon S. and Henry G. Hubbard, for and in behalf of said schooner, and the only error assigned is, that the Court erred in dismissing the appeal.
The attachment issued by the justice, was in pursuance of “ An Act authorizing the seizure of boats and other vessels by attachment in certain cases,”
The judgment is affirmed with costs.
Judgment affirmed.
