Schlick, 269 Ill. 181, with the exception that in the latter case the judgments appealed from were obtained by prosecutions brought .under a city ordinance of the City of Decatur, while the judgments from which the writs of error were prosecuted from this court were obtained by prosecutions under the statute. The above case is referred to for these stipulations.
