    "head_matter": "The People of the State of Illinois, Defendant in Error, v. Kate Hexton, Plaintiff in Error.\n(Not to he reported in full.)\nError to the County Court of Morgan county; the Hon. William E. Thompson, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the April term, 1916.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed October 13, 1916.\nStatement of the Case.\nPetition by Kate Hexton, convicted for selling liquor in anti-saloon territory and sentenced to imprisonment in the county jail for thirty days and to pay a fine of $200 and costs, and in case the fine and costs should not be paid at the end of the term of imprisonment, ordered that she be required to work out the same at the rate of $1.50 a day. To review the action of the court denying the prayer of her petition and remanding her to jail, the petitioner prosecutes a writ of error.\nThe petition set forth that the petitioner had served the thirty days\u2019 imprisonment but that she had no money or property with which to pay the fine and costs, that she was ill and afflicted with a disease which made it impossible for her to work out the fine and costs, that the close confinement in jail had caused an irreparable injury to her and that all legal means of collecting said fine and costs had been exhausted and prayed that she be discharged and released from that part of judgment imposing the fine and costs.\nH. P. Samuell and P. P. Thompson, for plaintiff in error.\nRobert Tilton, for defendant in error.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vole. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
