        "text": "Mr. Justice Gary\ndelivered the opinion of the Court.\nThe brief of the plaintiffs in error very forcibly sets out the evils of the practice in this State, permitting steps to be taken in a pending cause, without notice\u2014a practice which we can not reform.\nThis suit was originally commenced as an action in assumpsit upon the common counts. Next an additional count was in debt upon a guardian\u2019s bond. Next a default entered of defendants Niehoff and Goerner\u2014the real name being Goergen, and the same day leave granted to withdraw the common counts. Then pleas by defendant Eyan. Then a trial between the People and Eyan by a jury sworn to try the issues in the cause, and verdict for the People, on which judgment was entered.\n. Eyan appealed alone to this court, at the last October term, and the judgment was affirmed; but that is not pleaded here now, and we only refer to the report, (62 Ill. App. 355,) to avoid repeating what there appears.\nAssuming that Niehoff and Goergen were bound to take notice of the amendments\u2014for which see, among many cases, Cairo and St. L. R. R. v. Holbrook, 72 Ill. 419, Mass. Mut. Life Ins. Co. v. Kellogg, 82 Ill. 614, and Vahle v. Brackenseik, 145 Ill. 231, the whole argument of the brief of the plaintiffs in error is answered, except upon one point. A bill of exceptions of Eyan, which is in this record, shows that a trial of the cause was commenced as to Eyan on the 17th day of June, 1895, but a juror wfis withdrawn, and the cause set for trial on the 24th of the same month. A jury was in fact impaneled on the 9th of the next month, and a verdict rendered on the 10th. The clerk, in writing np his record as of June 18, 1895, entered that the jury was \u201cdischarged from, rendering a verdict herein, and this cause continued.\u201d It is quite clear that the clerk in writing \u201c continued,\u201d did not put in the whole order, but should have added words showing that the continuance was not over the term, but to a later day in the term. McKee v. Ludwig 30 Ill. 28, cited by the plaintiffs in' error, is therefore not in point.\nThe brief contains some strictures upon \u201c short cause calendar,\u201d but it does not appear that the cause was tried out of its proper place upon a regular calendar.\nThe judgment is affirmed.",

Continuance\u2014Clerk's Entries not Conclusive.\u2014Where the clerk\u2019s record showed a cause \u201c continued,\u201d held, that reference might be made to bill of exceptions, to prove that the clerk\u2019s entry did not include the whole order, but should have contained words showing that the continuance was not over the term, but to a later day in the term.\nAssumpsit, on the common counts with additional count in debt.
