Pinneo v. Knox
Illinois Supreme Court
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Will county. This was a suit in chancery for the foreclosure of a mortgage upon real estate. Mr. C. B. Garnsey, for the appellee ' Knox, moved the court to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction, there not being a freehold involved in the suit, and none of the other conditions necessary to give this court jurisdiction of the appeal, existing.
1Opinion of the Court
Walker, J.:
In this case, in the court below, a bill was filed to foreclose a mortgage, and a decree rendered in that court, and an appeal is brought to this court. Motion is now entered to dismiss the appeal. We have frequently held that a bill to foreclose a mortgage does not involve a freehold, and that the appeal should be taken from the circuit to the Appellate Court, and not to this.
The appeal will therefore be dismissed.
