Eggleston v. Buck, 24 Ill. 262.\nMoris the copy of an instrument sued upon, filed in an action at law, a part of the record, unless embodied in a bill of exceptions. Garrity v. Lozano et al. 83 Ill. 597; Thompson v. Kimball, 55 Ill. App. 249.\nIn Lambert v. Jonte, 28 Ill. App. 591, a failure to file a copy of the .instrument sued upon, and a failure to file a declaration are, under the statute, put upon the same footing, the court holding that the failure to file either, will prevent a judgment by default for want of a plea.\nThere is a marked distinction between a declaration and a copy of the instrument sued upon. A declaration in a common law court of record is essential to the validity of a judgment for the plaintiff; such declaration is a part of the common law record; a copy of the instrument sued upon is not essential to the validity of a judgment for the plaintiff, neither is it a part of the common law record. Stratton v. Henderson, 26 Ill. 68, 75; Hopkins v. Woodward, 75 Ill. 62, 65.\n\u2022 The statute also provides : , \u201c That in all actions when the plaintiff shall not be a resident of this State * * * he shall, before he institutes such suit, file or cause to be filed * * * security for costs.\u201d\nYet the objection that a plaintiff has not filed a bond for costs is held to be of a dilatory character, in the nature of a plea in abatement, and if not insisted upon at the proper time, is to be considered as waived. Randolph v. Emerick, 13 Ill. 344; Dunning v. Dunning et al., 37 Ill. 306; Lee v. Waller, 13 App. 403.\nAn objection for want of bond for costs can not be taken for the first time in an Appellate Oourt. Meyer et al. v. Wiltshire, 92 Ill. 395.\nWithout, however, considering the analogy that may be drawn between the provisions of the practice act, as to the filing of a bond for costs and a copy of the instrument upon which suit is brought, we affirm the judgment of the Superior Court because, there being no bill of exceptions, from an examination of the record we can not say that no copy of the instrument sued upon was filed ten days before the term at which judgment was taken.\nThe judgment of the Superior Court is affirmed.\nMr. Presiding Justice Shepard dissents.", "type": "majority", "author": "Mr. Justice Watebmak" } ], "attorneys": [ "Maot, Hates & Miller, attorneys for appellant.", "E.

The summons was issued to the May term, 1896, and served on appellant on April 21, 1896, more than ten days before the beginning of that term. On April 24,1896, likewise more than ten days before the beginning of the May term, the appellee filed its declaration, consisting of one special count, based upon the deficiency decree mentioned. It is alleged in the brief of appellant that no copy of the record of the judgment or decree was filed with the declaration ten days prior to the May term, nor at any time.\nAppellant did not plead, and on May 12, 1896, which was at the term to which the summons was made returnable, appellee took the default of appellant and judgment for \u00a73,385.46 debt, and $67.71 damages.
