Motion overruled and exception by defendant.\nMotion by defendant to strike case from short cause calendar, on the ground that it had been previously reached for trial and disposed of on said short cause calendar. Motion overruled and exception by defendant.\nMotion by defendant to strike case from short cause calendar, on the ground that no original affidavit to the effect that said case would not occupy more than one hour\u2019s time in the trial thereof had been filed, as is required by statute. Motion overruled and exception by defendant.\nOrder dismissing appeal at defendant\u2019s costs, with statutory damages, and awarding procedendo. Exception by defendant to order dismissing appeal at defendant\u2019s costs; to awarding of statutory damages, and to awarding of procedendo.\u201d\nThere is nothing showing what the transcript was in fact, nor whether the reasons assigned for striking the case from the short cause calendar were true or false.\nProbably the court ought not to have dismissed the appeal, but should have required the appellee\u2014plaintiff below \u2014to prove his case before a jury. On this record, however, no error in that regard is shown. By the bill of exceptions it appears that after the motions of the appellant had been denied, he elected to stand by them and said he would not put in any defense.\nWhat became of him then does not appear; the record says he was \u201c three times solemnly called in open court, comes not, nor does any person for him, but herein he makes default and fails to prosecute his appeal in this, behalf,\u201d and then on motion of the appellee here, that appeal was dismissed. That action was regular on the facts as recited in the record. Fergus v. Haupt, 54 Ill. App. 190.\nThat the appellant got back in time to except to the \u201c order of dismissal,\u201d does not make the order irregular.\nThe objections of the appellant which he has argued, being disposed of, the judgment is affirmed.",
