| Cornelius sued Boucher in an action of covenant in the St. Clair County Circuit Court. The jury ruled in favor of Boucher, prompting Cornelius to appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court. The Court affirmed the lower court's judgment, noting that the first objection regarding the Boucher's affidavit for continuance was dismissed, as such matters are typically within the court's discretion. The court also rejected the third objection, emphasizing its limited scope for reviewing discretionary decisions. The second objection on jury swearing was deemed baseless, as irregularities in form are not grounds for appeal if not raised during the trial. |
