Such a proceeding does not involve a freehold, (Motsinger v. Chenoweth, 308 Ill. 31,) and there is no assignment of error raising a constitutional question or any other question that gives this court jurisdiction of this appeal.\nThe cause is therefore transferred to the Appellate Court for the Third District.\nCause transferred.",
