Description
This is a direct appeal from a decree of partition entered in the superior court of Cook County in favor of appellee, Nandor Markovits, the plaintiff in the original action, and against appellants who were defendants in the court below. The record contains no report of proceedings and shows no proof or testimony. The decree appears to have been entered upon the pleadings alone. The principal question presented here is whether the entry of the decree was proper in view of the allegations contained in a cross complaint filed by appellants and impliedly, though not expressly, stricken and dismissed by the trial court at the time the decree was entered. The original complaint filed by appellee, Nandor Markovits, against his mother, Mariska Markovits, and his wife, Hilda H. Markovits, sought to partition certain real estate in the city of Chicago, allegedly owned by appellee and his mother, as well as an accounting for rents and income said to have been received by appellant Mariska Markovits. The complaint alleges that title had originally been in appellee, his mother, Mariska, and his father, Bela Markovits, as joint tenants by virtue of a deed dated February 2, 1945, from the First National Bank of Chicago as trustee under a certain trust agreement; that Bela Markovits had died and that the title then became vested in appellee and his mother; that appellant, Mariska, conducts a business in the three-story brick building on the premises, occupies it in part as a dwelling and rents out rooms in the building to transient guests. In addition to a partition and an accounting the complaint asks for the appointment of a receiver and general relief.
