No. 18,746.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nError to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. James C. Martin, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1912.\nAffirmed on remittitur.\nOpinion filed November 4, 1913.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Edson Keith & Company, a corporation, against Thomas F. Keevan and Mrs. Thomas F. Keevan to recover balance due for goods sold and delivered to defendants by plaintiff. From judgment in favor of plaintiff for $194.77, defendant brings error.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Municipal Court of Chicago, \u00a7 13 \u2014when affidavit of merits insufficient. In an action for money due for goods sold and delivered, affidavit of merits held not to show an agreement to extend time for payment so as to constitute a defense where it does not show facts as to the extension of time for payment and does not state for how long the extension was made, but sets up an indefinite arrangement to pay out of the profits.\n2. Municipal Court of Chicago, \u00a7 19 \u2014when default judgment may he entered for full amount of plaintiff\u2019s claim. Judgment by default, when affidavit of merits stricken may be entered for full amount of plaintiff\u2019s claim without requiring the damages to be assessed by a jury, even though an appearance has been filed and a jury demanded.\nHarry H. Felgar, for plaintiffs in error.\nEastman & White, for defendant in error; Ralph R. Hawxhurst, of counsel.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XIV, same topic and section number."
