Tinkham, Appellee.\nAPPEAL FROM COOK.\nThe statute positively requires that notice of a motion for a change of venue shall be given.\nThis was an action of assumpsit, upon a note and an account. The defendant filed the general issue, as also special pleas.\nOn the 16th day of July, 1857, the pleas were filed, verified by defendant. On the 23rd October, 1857, Hunt made application as follows for a change of venue:\nTo the Hon. John M. Wilson, Judge of the Cook County Court of Common Pleas, of the State of Illinois:\nBela T. Hunt, the above named defendant, respectfully represents that he fears that he will not receive a fair trial of this action in the Cook County Court of Common Pleas, in which this action is pending, on account of Edward I. Tinkham, the above named plaintiff, (the above party,) has an undue influence over the minds of the inhabitants of said county of Cook. Your petitioner further shows that the above fact of undue influence first came to his knowledge on the 22nd day of October, A. D. 1857. Your petitioner therefore prays for a change of venue to some county where the above causes do not exist. Sworn to on the 22nd day of October, 1857.\nThis application was denied.\nThere was a judgment for the plaintiff below, and Hunt prayed this appeal.\nBarry & Beveridge, for Appellant.\nClarkson & Tree, for Appellee."
