        "text": "Mr. Justice Sample\ndelivebedthe opinion of the Gouet.\nThe plaintiff in error was tried and convicted in the Oounty Court under the bastardy act, from which judgment he appealed to the Circuit Court, where the appeal was dismissed for want of jurisdiction, under a holding that the appeal should have been taken directly from the County Court to this court.\nThe plaintiff relies upon the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Stivers v. People, reported in Vol. 38, p. 512 of N. E. Reporter, wherein it was held an appeal did lie to the Circuit Court, thus reversing this court in its holding in that case that the appeal provided by statute was from the County Court to the Appellate Court. See Stivers v. People, 17 Ill. App. 511. The decision of the Supreme Court in Stivers\u2019 case, however, was not final, and the opinion does not appear in the Illinois reports, that court having reconsidered its holding and returned to its original view, as expressed in Lee v. People, 140 Ill. 536, as see Lynn v. Lynn, Ill. 160-307, and Gries v. Cable, not yet reported. In the Lynn case it is said in substance that when Sec. 88 of the Practice act, and Sec. 8 of the Appellate Court act, are construed together, as they must be, \u201c the Appellate Court is clothed with jurisdiction of appeals or writs of error from final judgments or decrees of the Circuit Courts, the Superior Courts of Cook County, County Courts and from the City Courts in all criminal cases below the grade of felony, and all suits and proceedings at law or in chancery, except in cases where a franchise or freehold or the validity of a statute, or construction of the constitution is involved, and the excepted cases are required to go directly to the Supreme Court. In the Cries case it is held that an appeal lies from the County to the Circuit Court in a case involving a claim against an estate and probably in other proceedings of minor importance. These, decisions are conclusive of the question here involved and the judgment of the court below dismissing the appeal is affirmed.",
