Garrick v. Chamberlain

Illinois Supreme Court

Decided March 15, 1881PublishedCited by 5 opinions

Appeal from the Appellate Court for the First District. Upon the rendering of a decision in this case at a former term of this court, the appellee filed a petition for a rehearing, which was fully considered, and denied. Now a second petition for a rehearing is filed by the same party. The appellants move that it be stricken from the files.

1Opinion of the Court

Scott, J.:

There is nothing in the rules, or in any practice that has ever prevailed in this court, that would authorize a second petition by the same paity for a rehearing. A majority of the court are therefore of opinion that the motion made to strike what purports to be a second petition for a rehearing from the files, should be allowed, and it is accordingly done.

Petition stricken from the files.

Dickey, Ch. J.: I do not concur in the opinion of the majority of the court.
