PER CURIAM:

The statute is imperative that if a nonresident plaintiff shall institute his suit without first having given a bond for costs, “the court, on motion, shall dismiss the same.” Scates' Comp., 244. A writ of error is considered as a new action, and the statute applies to all suits instituted in the circuit or supreme court by nonresident plaintiffs. Ripley v. Morris, 2 Gilm., 382; Hickman v. Haines, 5 Id., 20.

The motion is in apt time. It is made before the time has passed for pleading in abatement, which is sufficient. Trustees v. Walters, 12 Ill., 154; Randolph v. Emerick, 13 Ill., 346.

The rule will be entered. Rule...
