| Cromwell sued Scott in the Monroe County Circuit Court and obtained a judgment. Scott appealed to the Illinois Supreme Court. The Court affirmed the decision of the lower court to deny Scott's motion for a continuance. While Cromwell was granted leave to amend the declaration for informalities, which did not automatically entitle the defendant to a continuance, the defendant retained the right to plead anew. Therefore, the judgment of the lower court was upheld. |
