Case Summary

The Superior Court of Chicago heard two assumpsit actions, Kelly et al. v. Cecil bank of Maryland and Kelly et al. v. Downs, in 1860 over promissory notes. Despite identical proceedings, the appellants sought a venue change just before trial, citing prejudice. The court rightly denied the motion, deeming one day's notice insufficient and rejecting late affidavits. The appellants' tardiness and lack of justification mirrored precedent. Consequently, the court's decisions were upheld, affirming the judgment.
