Sweet v. Merki
Appellate Court of Illinois
In error to the Superior Court of Cook County; the Hon. John P. Altgeld, J udge, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtMoran, P. J.
This writ of error was brought to review the action of the court in entering a judgment by confession.
From a supplemental record which has been filed, it appears that, on motion of plaintiff in error, the court has granted him leave -to plead, the judgment entered to stand as security till the merits are tried.

A final judgment is one that puts an end to the action so that nothing remains to be done but to execute the judgment.
