        "text": "Gary, J.\nJanuary 22, 1887, the appellee demised to the appellant and his wife, rooms. The rent being unpaid, Hay 17, 1887, notice, addressed to them, signed by appellee, was served by delivering a copy to her. This notice was pursuant to Sec. 8 of the act of 1873 in relation to landlord and tenant, and the only question on it is as to the service.\nAppellant not leaving the premises, appellee commenced a forcible detainer suit against appellant and his wife before a justice of the peace, in which suit service of the summons was had upon both, but only the appellant appeared; judgment went against him only; he appealed to the Circuit Court, and being defeated there, appeals here. The objection that the appellant\u2019s wife ought to have been brought into the Circuit Court, is not good. Fabbri v. Cunio, 1 Ill. App. 240; Wells v. Reynolds, 3 Scam. 191. She was no party to the judgment before the justice. The judgment of the justice against the appellant alone, disposed of the complaint against her. Wilderman v. Sandusky, 15 Ill. 59.\nThe service of the notice \u201cby delivering a copy thereof to the within named Hrs. Hinnie Bell, wife of J. Bell, she being a person above the age of twelve years, residing in and in possession of the within described premises,\u201d was a good service. Notwithstanding the fact that it was addressed to both of them, the service was precisely such as the statute requires if it had been addressed to him alone, and it is to be presumed he got it. As a witness on the stand he did not deny receiving it. Farnam v. Holman, 90 Ill. 312; Doe v. Watkins, 7 East, 551; Jones v. Marsh, 4 D. & E. 464.\nAfter the suit was commenced, the appellee conveyed the premises, so that his right to the possession had terminated pendente lite. He was, however, at the commencement of the suit, entitled to the possession, and his recovery inures to the benefit of his grantee. So held in ejectment; Mills v. Graves, 44 Ill. 50; and one of the reasons there assigned is that it is the policy of this State to promote the easy sale and conveyance of land, and not to prevent such conveyance during the long period which may be consumed in litigation. That reason applies to suits of this character with, at least, part of the force that it does to ejectment. No good would result from a contrary doctrine.\nThere is no merit in the appellant\u2019s case.\nJudgment affirmed.",

It is a sufficient service of a notice to quit if a copy thereof is delivered to the wife of the tenant.\n2. Judgment against the husband alone is sufficient, although the summons was served on both husband and wife.\n3. Where the lessor conveys property pendente lite his recovery inures to the benefit of the vendee.\n[Opinion filed March 13, 1889.]\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. Drank Baker, Judge, presiding.\nMessrs. M. A. Rorke & Son, for appellant. ,\nMr. John C. Richberg, for appellee.\nUpon the trial in the Circuit Court, that court rendered judgment against both defendants. In the case at bar, there was no judgment against the defendant, Minnie Bell. The suit as to her was dismissed. Upon appeal no judgment was asked for nor given against her. Why, then, should she appear in the Circuit Court? Was it for fun? Does she complain because we did not want a judgment against her? Does it lie in her husband\u2019s mouth to complain ? It may be remarked, also, that a party can not allege errors which relate exclusively to other parties who are not complaining, and who are not before the court. Clark v. Warfield, 77 Ill. 258; Richards v. Green, 78 Ill. 526; Crommi v. Thorp, 42 Ill. 121; Horner v. Zimmerman, 45 Ill. 14."
