Illinois Supreme Court June 20, 1892 (Dierks v. Commissioners of Highways)

Mr. Justice Craig

delivered the opinion of the Court:

A preliminary question has been raised by a motion to dismiss the appeal for the want of jurisdiction. The motion can not prevail. Under the authority of Chaplin v. Comrs. of Highways, 126 Ill. 264, and Chronic v. Pugh, 136 id. 539, a freehold is involved, and the appeal was properly taken from the circuit to this court.
