The declaration contains a special count upon a note and the common counts.\nThe appellant filed a special plea in bar, to which the court sustained a demurrer. The judgment upon the demurrer presents the only question raised by this record. The plea was bad. It set up a former recovery upon the same causes of action in a justice\u2019s court, held by the police magistrate of the city of Centraba, after the new constitution went, into effect, and for the sum of $269.65. The justice\u2019s court held by such police magistrate, after the adoption of the new constitution, had no jurisdiction of the subject matter to that amount. This question was decided in Phillips v. Quick, 63 Ill. 445.\nThe judgment of the court below must be affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.",
