        "text": "Mr. Justice Sheldon\ndelivered the opinion of the Court:\nThis was a bill in chancery, to enjoin a proceeding for the sale of premises under four certain trust deeds. A preliminary injunction was granted. Upon answer and affidavits filed, on motion the injunction was dissolved, and the bill dismissed for want of equity, and complainant appealed.\nThe trustee had advertised the premises for sale under the trust deeds, and the sole question is, whether the sale was advertised to he made at the right place, that is, at the place fixed by the grantor in the trust deeds.\nThe trust deeds were dated July 10, 1872, and the place of sale designated in each was, \u201c at the north door of the court house, in the city of Chicago, in the State of Illinois.\u201d\nThe trustee advertised the land for sale, \u201c at the north door of the court house, in the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook, and State of Illinois, namely, at the west door of the north doors of the building used as a court house, situated at the south-east corner of La Salle and Adams streets in said city of Chicago.\u201d\nFrom all that appears, there was, prior to October 9, 1871, a court house in the city of Chicago, on the square of ground bounded by Randolph, Clark, Washington and La Salle streets, which had a north door; that the east wing of that court house fronted on Clark street, and had an east door on Clark street, but no north door. That the whole court house was destroyed by fire October 9, 1871, so as to render it unfit for use or occupation, that part having its north door on or towards Randolph street, utterly, and has never been there since; and that the east wing was afterward repaired, so that the criminal court and county court of Cook county were held in it.\nThat on July 10,1872, the date of the trust deeds, the circuit court and Superior Court of Cook county were held in the building mentioned in the notice of sale, which was erected for that purpose among others; that such courts had been held there for a long time prior thereto, and ever since have been held there; that the clerks\u2019 offices of those courts, with all papers pertaining to them, were kept in that building, and had been since its use as a court house. That the building had been known as the court house, as well as the city hall; that all writs and process issued from said courts, since the building has been so used, have been made returnable \u201c at the court house in the city of Chicago.\u201d This building has two north doors.\nWe can have no doubt that the sale was here advertised to be made at the right place \u2014 at the place designated in the trust deeds.\nThe decree will be affirmed.\nDecree affirmed.",
