      Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Municipal Court of Chicago, § 39
      
      —when ordinance must Toe incorporated in stenographic report for purpose of review. A defendant in a prosecution charging him with violating an ordinance of the City of Chicago, who desires to preserve for review the question whether a judgment of conviction is supported by the evidence, must cause-the ordinance to be incorporated in the stenographic report.
    2. Disorderly house, § 2
      
      —when evidence sufficient to sustain finding as to keeping of disorderly house. In a prosecution charging defendant with keeping a disorderly house in violation of a city ordinance, evidence held to justify a finding that defendant’s place was a disorderly house as charged in the complaint.
    3. Disorderly house, § 2
      
      —when evidence sufficient to sustain finding that defendant knew character of place. In a prosecution charging defendant with keeping a disorderly house in violation of a city ordinance, the probative force of evidence as to the character of defendant’s place will also justify the conclusion that defendant knew its character.
    4. Disorderly house, § 2
      
      —when evidence sufficient to identify premises named in complaint. In a prosecution charging defendant with keeping a disorderly house in violation of a city ordinance, evidence held sufficient to identify defendant’s premises with the premises named in the complaint.
