        "text": "Per Curiam :\nAppellee is assignee of the People\u2019s Bank of Belleville, appointed under a voluntary assignment, made in pursuance of our statute in force July 1, 1877. On the 26th of June, 1891, appellants entered their motion in the county \u25a0court of St. Clair county, where the assignment proceedings were pending, for an order directing the assignee to pay a dividend of twenty per cent on certain certificates of indebtedness against the bank, claimed to be owned and held by them. The motion was denied, and appellants prosecuted an appeal to the circuit court of that county. The case was tried in that court de novo, and an order entered directing the assignee to pay, not only the twenty per cent dividend asked for in the county court, but also to pay dividends on the certificates in the future, the same as on other claims allowed against the assigned estate, and that the assignee pay the costs. The Appellate Court reversed that order and remanded the case, with directions to dismiss the proceedings.\nIt is difficult, if not impossible, to reach a different conclusion from that arrived at by the Appellate Court upon the merits of the controversy, if the facts are accepted as recited in its final judgment. But we do not think the order of the circuit court can be sustained in any .view of the case. Clearly, that court had no jurisdiction of the subject matter of the litigation. The administration of the assigned estate could \u25a0not, in the manner attempted, be transferred from the county to the circuit court. The learned judge who heard the case in the circuit court evidently so understood it, for he said, in rendering his decision, (copied by counsel for appellants in their, argument): \u201cI find it very difficult for me to indicate in advance just what sort of a judgment ought to be entered, unless a mere judgment of advice.\u201d But independent of that view, it has been expressly decided by this court that an appeal in such eases does hot lie to the circuit court. Union Trust Co. v. Trumbull et al. 137 Ill. 146.\nThe judgment of the Appellate Court reversing the order of the circuit court will be affirmed, and the case will be remanded to the circuit court, with directions to dismiss the appeal from the county court.\nJudgment affirmed.\nMr. Justice Phillips took no part.",
