Chicago & Northeastern R. R. v. Edson

Edson and the others sued the railroad company as makers and Cummin as indorser of a note for $201.11. The suit was brought before a justice of the peace and the note was duly filed. The company made no defense and the justice rendered judgment for the amount of the note. The company appealed and then moved the circuit court for leave to deny the execution of the note by affidavit. The motion was refused. Afterwards an attempt was made on further showing to get the refusal vacated, but this was also denied.

We cannot review these proceedings. The rulings *674were discretionary and we see nothing…
