Bacon v. Lawrence
26 Ill. 53
Opinion
The appellant had an undoubted right to dismiss his appeal. If the appellee was not satisfied with the judgment of the justice of the peace, he should himself have taken an appeal. By not doing so he acquiesced in that judgment, and must now be content with it. Taking an appeal by one party does not deprive the other of the right to do the same thing. The judgment is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
