The bill was verified by the complainant, who swore that he had a read the same and knows the contents thereof, and that the same is true of his own knowledge, except as to the matters stated therein on information and belief, and as to those he believes it to be true.\u201d\nThat form of verification has been repeatedly condemned by this court. Brabrook Tailoring Company v. Belding, 40 Ill. App. 326, and cases there cited.\nWe are aware of no recognized precedent that sanctions such a form of verification. 3 Daniell\u2019s Ch. Pl. and Pr. 2171; 1 Barbour\u2019s Ch. Pr. 44; Puterbaugh\u2019s Ch. Pl. and Pr. (3d Ed.) 490.\nWhat matters there may be in the bill that are stated on information and belief can only be known by probing the mind of the pleader; but matters that are stated to be on information and belief, can be ascertained by reference to the bill.\nThe appellee has undertaken to cure the defect by filing in the Superior Court, by leave of that court, an amended bill properly verified, nuno pro tuno, as of a date prior to the perfecting of the appeal to this court; and has moved this court for leave to file here an additional record showing that order and said amended bill. The defect can not be remedied in that way; the order appealed from must stand or fall according to the record as it was when the appeal was perfected. L. S. & M. S. Ry. Co. v. C. & W. I. Ry. Co., 100 Ill. 21.\nIt may be that omissions in matters of form can be supplied nuno pro tunc, after appeal, in order to perfect the record, but a new case can not be made.\nThere is another reason why the order appealed from must be reversed.\nSec. 8, Ch. 69, R. S., entitled injunctions, requires that before an injunction shall issue to enjoin a judgment, the complainant shall give a bond with surety, \u201c conditioned for the payment of all moneys and costs due to the plaintiff in the judgment, and such damages as may be awarded against the complainant in case the injunction is dissolved.\u201d\nThe bond so required is for payment of the judgment, i. e., \u201c all moneys and costs due to the plaintiff in the judgment,\u201d as well as for all damages which may be awarded in case of a dissolution of the injunction.\nThe bond that was given is conditioned for the payment only of \u201c all such costs a id damages as shall be awarded * * * in case the said injunction be dissolved.\u201d It contains no condition for the payment of the judgment, and therefore is not such a bond as the statute requires shall be given before an injunction shall issue to enjoin the collection of a judgment.\nThe concluding paragraph of said section eight, which provides for the awarding against the complainant of costs, and damages not exceeding ten per centum of the amount of the judgment, in case the injunction be dissolved, does not authorize the court to include in the assessment of damages upon the dissolution of the injunction, the amount of the judgment restrained. The damages that can be awarded in such a proceeding are limited by the statute to ten j-er cent of the amount of the judgment. Roberts v. Fahs, 36 Ill. 268; Joslyn v. Dickerson, 71 Ill. 25; Camp v. Bryan, 84 Ill. 250.\nWe will not discuss the point argued as to whether the bill states a case for equitable relief.\nThe motion for leave to file the additional record is denied, and the order of injunction is reversed and the cause remanded.", "type": "majority", "author": "Shepard, J." } ], "attorneys": [ "Samuel B.
