The appellant being plaintiff in an action of forcible detainer against the appellee in the Circuit Court, was defeated there and prayed an appeal to this court, which was allowed and thirty days given him in which to file his appeal bond, and he did file it on the thirtieth day.

App. 615; and the court could not enlarge the time; Ibid., and see Rozier v. Williams, 92 Ill. 187, involving the same question in principle. See also Fairbanks v. Streeter (Ill.), 31 N. E. 494, 142 Ill 226.
