        "text": "Mr. Justice Thompson\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nMarch 31, 1921, the State\u2019s attorney, at the relation of the appellants, by leave of court filed an information in quo warranto in the circuit court of Peoria county demanding that appellees show by what right they pretended to act as president and members of the board of education of Community Consolidated School District No. 204 in Peoria county. June 20, 1921, the court entered a judgment which contains the following recital: \u201cThis cause now coming on to be heard before the court upon the motion of respondents to abate and dismiss suit, and the court having had the same under advisement and having fully considered the same, and being now sufficiently advised in the premises, doth sustain said motion and dismiss suit.\u201d From that judgment this appeal is prosecuted.\nThe clerk has copied into the record filed in this cause a motion which purports to have been filed by appellees May 23, 1921, wherein they \u201cmove the court to quash the information filed herein and to dismiss the petition and abate this suit in accordance with the act of May 4, 1921, legalizing the organization of community consolidated schools.\u201d Appellants have assigned error on the court\u2019s ruling on the motion, but they are in no position to question in this court the trial court\u2019s ruling on the motion for the reason that there is no bill of exceptions or stenographic report signed by the trial judge and made a part of the record. (People v. Board of Review, 263 Ill. 326; People v. Cowen, 283 id. 308; Savanna and York Drainage District v. DeLaVergne, 298 id. 480.) In the absence of a bill of exceptions we are unable to tell for what reason the court entered its judgment dismissing the information. The presumption in favor of the regularity of proceedings in court will obtain until overcome by a showing that error has been committed. The judgment of the circuit court is presumed to be correct until the contrary is shown. Vinyard v. Barnes, 124 Ill. 346; People v. Big Lake Drainage District, 156 id. 614; City of Chicago v. Ogden & Co. 227 id. 595; Laird v. Dickirson, 241 id. 380.\nThe judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.",

Appeals and errors \u2014 motions and rulings must be saved by bill of exceptions. Alleged error in ruling on a motion to dismiss an information in quo warranto attacking the organization of a community consolidated school district cannot be considered where the motion and ruling thereon are not preserved by a bill of exceptions or stenographic report signed by the trial judge.\n2. Same \u2014 proceedings and judgment are presumed to be correct unless error is shown. The presumption in favor of the regularity of proceedings in a court of general jurisdiction will obtain until overcome by a showing that error has been committed, and the judgment of the circuit court is presumed to be correct until the contrary is shown.\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Peoria county; the Hon. John M. NiEhaus, Judge, presiding.\nE. E. Harding, for appellants.\nCovey, Campbell & Covey, for appellees."
