OPINION TEXT STARTS HERE

Original petition by the People, on the relation of the First of Englewood Bond & Mortgage Corporation, for a writ of mandamus against Edmund K. Jarecki, to compel respondent, as judge of the county court of Cook county, to expunge void orders entered by him in a proceeding brought against the relator by Joseph B. McDonough, county treasurer and ex officio county collector.

Writ awarded.

STONE, ORR, and HERRICK, JJ., dissenting.

Daniel S. Wentworth, Leonard F. Carmody, Mary V. Draper, Joe A. Pearce, Robert F. Dewey, and Leon Weiss, all of Chicago, for respondent.

Thomas J. Courtney, State's Atty., of Chicago (Hayden N. Bell, Robert S. Cushman, Jacob S. Hamberg, and William P. Kearney, all of Chicago, of counsel), for respondent.

This is an original petition for mandamus filed by leave of this court. The prayer of the petition is that the writ issue and that the respondent, as judge of the county court of Cook county, be directed to expunge void orders entered by him in that court in the case of McDonough v. First of Englewood Bond & Mortgage Corporation (No. 73400) in the county court of Cook county.

The question of the jurisdiction of a county court to appoint the county treasurer, who is ex officio county collector, as receiver under ‘An act for the assessment of property and for the levy and collection of taxes,’ approved March 30, 1872, as amended (which amendment was approved on April 28, 1933, and is known as the Skarda Act [Smith-Hurd Ann. St. c. 120, § 238a et seq.]) was decided by us in McDonough v. Gage, 192 N. E. 419. What was there said is controlling here. For the reasons there stated, the respondent was without jurisdiction to enter the orders appointing the receiver, and was also without jurisdiction to enter the orders approving his report or to make allowance of costs and charges out of the rents...
