Illinois Supreme Court November 15, 1852 (Richeson v. Ryan)

Treat, C. J.

Eyan recovered a judgment against Eicheson. The latter paid the judgment before an execution issued, and then sued out a writ of error to reverse it. Did the payment operate as a release of errors ? If the judgment had been collected by execution, there would not be a doubt of the right of Eicheson to prosecute the writ of error.
