        "text": "Mb. Pbesiding Justice Ball\ndelivered the opinion of the court.\nSection 15 of Oh. 110 (Hurd) R. S., reads:\n\u201cThe clerks of the courts shall keep a docket of all the causes pending in their respective courts, in which shall be entered the names of the parties, the cause of action, and the name of the plaintiff\u2019s attorney, and he shall furnish the judge and bar, at each term, with a copy of the same,\u201d etc.\nThe docket thus made up is the regular trial calendar. Under Section 95 of the same chapter it is the duty of the clerk, when proper notice, supported by affidavit, has been given and that notice is filed by him, to place the specified cause on the short cause calendar. By this act the cause was stricken from the regular calendar, and it was then the duty of the clerk to have so marked it. This he did not do. By Section 99 of the same chapter it is provided:\n\u201c If a suit, which is upon the regular trial calendar, shall be placed upon the \u2018Short Cause Calendar,\u2019 it shall be stricken off the regular trial calendar, and shall not again, be placed thereon, except upon notice to the defendant, his agent or attorney.\u201d\nIt therefore appears that this case, at the time it was called for trial, was on neither calendar, and did not then stand for trial. The statute provides (Sec. IT) that \u201c all causes shall be tried, or otherwise disposed of, in the order they are placed upon the docket, unless the court for good and sufficient cause shall otherwise direct.\u201d\nIt is evident that this cause was reached upon a call of the regular calendar, and was tried in its order as if it was properly there. The ignorance of the court as to the facts arbse from the neglect of the clerk to strike the case off the regular calendar when he placed it upon the short cause calendar. Such negligence of the clerk is sufficient ground for a writ of ooram nobis, and authorized the court to pass upon the motion to set aside the judgment at a subsequent term. Brady v. Washington Ins. Co., 82 Ill. App. 380.\nWe are of the opinion that the court erred in overruling the motion of appellant to vacate such judgment and to grant a new trial of said cause.\nThe judgment of the Circuit Court is reversed and the cause remanded.",

Corah Nobis\u2014Writ Authorized Where Case is Tried Which Was Improperly on the Trial Calendar.\u2014Where a cause has been, placed on the short cause calendar and afterward stricken off, it can not be restored to the regular calendar without notice to defendant, and if such cause through, the neglect of the clerk to strike it off the regular calenr dar when he placed it upon the short cause calendar, is tried in its order as if it were properly on the regular calendar, such negligence of the clerk is sufficient ground for a writ of coram nobis, and authorizes the court to pass upon the motion to set aside the judgment at a subsequent term.\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. Richard S. Tuthill, Judge presiding. Heard in this court at the October term, 1902.\nReversed and remanded.\nOpinion filed April 20, 1903.\nJudgment was rendered in justice court in favor of appellees and against appellant and one Joseph Silverman. An appeal was taken to the Circuit Court by appellant only. November 2, 1899, upon notice supported by affidavit, said cause was placed on the short cause calendar. December 9, 1899, the court entered an order striking said cause from the short cause calendar. The record contains no order restoring the cause to the regular calendar. April 21, 1901, without notice to appellant, and in his absence, said cause was called for trial, tried by a jury, who found for appellees, and a judgment was rendered against appellant for $93. March 8, 1902, a motion by appellant to set aside such judgment, supported by affidavits, was overruled; from which action of the court this appeal was perfected.\nP. E. O\u2019Neil and Moses H. Bloch, attorneys for appellant.\nNo appearance by appellee."
