Gen. No. 42,739. (Abstract of Decision.)
Opinion filed February 10, 1944
MUNICIPAL COURTS, § 23 — immateriality of place where cause of action arose. Where agent, whom contract recited as being "of Chicago," brought attachment suit in municipal court of Chicago against nonresident principal for allegedly-due commissions and named company whose office was in Chicago as garnishee, and defendant entered its general appearance and filed counterclaim, held that, under provisions of Attachment Act and Municipal Court Act, court was vested with jurisdiction to render judgment against defendant and, therefore, that it was immaterial whether cause of action did or did not arise in Chicago (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1943, ch. 11, pars. 1, la, 34, ch. 37, pars. 384, 403; Jones Ill. Stats. Ann. 109.032, 109.033, 109.067, 108.052, 108.071).
