The writ runs, \u201cThe People of the State of Illinois to the sheriff of Kankakee county.\u201d\nThere is no foundation for the objection. The writ does run in conformity with the constitutional requirement. There is no substantial difference between the new and old constitutions in this respect.\nBesides, there were here an appearance, plea of the general issue and trial, after which no objection can be taken to the summons.\nThe judgment must be affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.\nChristopher W.
