To which action White pleaded the pendency of a former suit for the same cause of action, in abatement. Notwithstanding which plea, and without replying thereto, the plaintiff proceeded to take judgment by default, and a jury were impanneled who assessed the damages.\nLockwood and Blackwell, for plaintiff.\nStarr, for defendant.\nThe error assigned, and the one relied upon, questions the legality of these proceedings.\nThe court certainly erred in rendering judgment by default after the plea was filed, and while the same remained upon record unanswered. For this error the judgment must be reversed, and the cause remanded for new proceedings to be had not inconsistent with this opinion.\nJudgment reversed.\nAffirmed in Semple v. Locke, post. Lyon v. Barney, 1 Scam., 387. Manlove v. Bruner, id., 390. Covell et al. v. Marks, id., 391. McKinney v. May, id., 534. Chapman v. Wright, 20 Ill., 120. Moore v. Little, 11 Ill., 549.\nWhen the record shows that a plea was filed and a judgment by default rendered on the same day, the judgment will he reversed. The court will not presume that the plea was filed after the judgment was entered. Lyon v. Barney, supra.",
