Constantine v. Wells
Illinois Supreme Court
Appeal from the Superior Court of Cook county; the Hon. ^0SBPH E- Gary, Judge, presiding.
1Opinion of the Court
Hr. Justice Craig
delivered the opinion of the Court:
This is an appeal from an order of the Superior Court of Cook county, refusing to set aside a judgment rendered by default on the 10th day of August, 1876.
The rule is well established in this State, that a motion to set aside a default is addressed to the sound legal discretion of the court, and unless it appears the discretion has been wrongfully and oppressively exercised, this court, on appeal, will not interfere. Greenleaf v. Roe, 17 Ill. 474; Scales v. Labar, 51 ib. 232.
The summons in this case was issued on the 24th day of June, 1876,…
