Head Matter:
O. A. Byington et al., Defendants in Error, v. A. D. Chandler, Plaintiff in Error.
Gen. No. 18,312.
1. Municipal coubts—when stenographic report must he presented. A stenographic report must be presented to the judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago for signature within thirty days from the date of the judgment.
2. Municipal coubts—effect of holiday on time for presenting stenographic report. That the last of thirty days from the date of a judgment in the Municipal Court of Chicago was a- legal holiday under the Negotiable Instrument Act, as amended in 1909, does not affect the provision that a stenographic report must be presented to the judge for signature within such thirty days.
Error to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Joseph Z. Uhlib, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the March term, 1910.
Affirmed.
Opinion filed June 10, 1912.
Albert O. Olson, for plaintiff in error; James J. Leahy, of counsel.
Arthur E. Gammage and Nicholas J. Pritzker, for defendants in error; Nicholas J. Pritzker, of counsel.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
A motion has been made by the defendant in error to strike out the stenographic report in the transcript of the record filed in this writ of error and to affirm the judgment. It must be granted.
TMrty days from the date of this judgment (of which the last day was not Sunday) had expired when the stenographic report was presented to the Judge of the Municipal Court for signature. It was then too late to make it a part of the record. Lassers v. North German Lloyd Steamship Co., 244 Ill. 570.
We do not think that the fact that the last of the thirty days was a legal holiday under the terms of the act of March 18, 1874, on Negotiable Instruments (as amended by act of May 10, 1909) affects the matter.
The stenographic report is stricken from the transcript of the record, and as there is no assignment of error which must not depend for its validity on the matter contained in the stenographic report, the judgment of the Municipal Court is affirmed.
Affirmed.
