Department of Finance v. Sheldon

The Department of Finance began an action in the municipal court of Chicago against J. Sheldon, the appellant. The abstract filed by the appellant does not intelligibly set forth the substance of the appellee’s statement of claim or the nature of its demands; the evidence is not abstracted; and the abstract fails to set forth the amount of the judgment appealed from or to state in whose favor it was entered. The abstract contains one page. It is not indexed, nor does it refer to the pages in the record by numerals on the margin. The abstract is substantially defective.
