        "text": "Mr. Chief Justice Hand\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nThis is a writ of error sued out of this court to review the judgment of the Appellate Court for the First District affirming the judgment of the circuit court of Cook county quashing a common law writ of certiorari sued out of said circuit court by the plaintiff in error to review the action of the civil service commission of the city of Chicago in removing plaintiff in error as a police patrolman from the-police force of the city of Chicago.\nThe petition filed by the plaintiff in error is so imperfectly abstracted in the printed abstracts of the record filed in this court that we are unable to determine whether the petition filed showed good grounds for the issuing of said writ or not. It is abstracted in the following words: \u201cPetition for certiorari, praying that city and civil service commission bring record of proceedings of June 10, 1903, on the discharge of Frank B. Gay from the service of the city; into the circuit court that said proceedings might be quashed.\u201d The rules .of this court require a party bringing a case to this court for review to furnish such a complete printed abstract of the record to the court as will fully present the errors relied upon as grounds of reversal and upon which the questions involved may be determined by this court without a resort to the written record. (Staude v. Schumacher, 187 Ill. 187.) In Gibler v. City of Mattoon, 167 Ill. 18, on page 22, it was said: \u201cIt is the duty of parties bringing cases here for review to prepare and file complete abstracts of the record in accordance with the rules, and such abstracts as we can safely rely upon. It is not our duty to perform this work of counsel, which, in detail, as to them is inconsiderable, but when imposed upon us is, in the aggregate, extremely burdensome.\u201d We have, however, looked into the record sufficiently to satisfy ourselves that there was such delay in filing the petition for the writ of certiorari that the writ was properly quashed, under the authority of City of Chicago v. Condell, 224 Ill. 595.\nThe judgment of the Appellate Court will be affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.",

Under the rules of the Supreme Court a party bringing a case to that court for review must furnish a printed abstract of the record so complete as to fully present the errors relied upon for reversal and enable the court to determine the questions involved without resort to the written record, and in the absence of such abstract the judgment will be affirmed.\nWrit of Error to the Appellate Court for the First District;\u2014heard in that court on writ of error to the Circuit Court of Cook county; the Hon.
