From a judgment of the justice of the peace in favor of appellee, appellant appealed to the Circuit Court.\nIn the Circuit Court the cause was placed upon the short cause- calendar upon motion of appellee. Mo affidavit was filed in the Circuit Court, as required by the statu t\u00e9, a prerequisite to the placing of a cause upon the short cause calendar. (Sec. 95, Chap. 110, R. S.) The record shows that a copy only, of such affidavit was filed in the court. If the original affidavit is still in existence, its whereabouts are undisclosed and it was never filed in the Circuit Court. Therefore the cause was improperly placed upon the short cause calendar. Donnerstag v. Loewenthal, 77 Ill. App. 159; Parsley v. Holloran, 87 Ill. App. 581.\nCounsel for appellant entered his motion in apt time to strike the cause from the short cause calendar, and renewed the motion at the beginning of the. trial. The motion was denied. This was error.\nThe judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded.",
