Case Summary

Adams sued Shepard in an action of replevin. The circuit court found for Adams but delayed judgment due to pending damages assessment. When Adams later sought a non-suit, the defendant contested, arguing it was after final determination. The Illinois Supreme Court determined the non-suit was permissible as material issues, particularly damages, remained unresolved. Thus, the lower court's judgment was upheld.
