The creditor may go at first into a court of unlimited jurisdiction. Haines v. O\u2019Connor, 5 Ill. App. 213; Merchant v. Howland, 46 Ill. App. 458; Hughes v. Fort Dearborn Nat\u2019l Bank, 47 Ill. App. 567.\nThe justice having no jurisdiction, the Circuit Court on appeal should have dismissed the suit. Sec. 73, Ch. 79, Justices Act, R. S.; Stolberg v. Ohnmacht, 50 Ill. 442.\nThe judgment is reversed, but as there can be no further proceedings the case is not remanded.",
