OPINION TEXT STARTS HERE

Appeal from Municipal Court, of Chicago; Frank M. Padden, Judge.

Action by James T. Shealy against Charles L. Schwerin to recover money with interest due on defendant's promise to pay. Plaintiff's second amended statement of claim sought recovery of $1,000 referred to in the original statement of claim and in addition thereto an item of $487.50 which plaintiff claimed to be due by reason of an assignment of a claim against the defendant. The defendant's demand for jury trial was stricken from the files on the ground that the demand was not made at the time when written appearance of defendant and his attorney was filed, as required by a court rule of the Municipal Court of Chicago. From a judgment for plaintiff in the sum of $2,500, defendant appeals.

Reversed and remanded with directions.

Abraham W. Brussell, of Chicago, for appellant.

Thomas J. Finnegan, of Chicago, for appellee.

SULLIVAN, Presiding Justice.
