   Mr. Presiding Justice Fitch

delivered the opinion of the court.

3. Municipal Coubt oe Chicago, § 29 —when ruling of trial court will be presumed correct on review. On appeal from a judgment of the Municipal Court where the record omits any matter or thing necessary to enable the Appellate Court to determine the correctness of a ruling, it will be presumed that facts omitted were sufficient to justify the ruling of the trial court.

4. Municipal cokpobations, § 869*—nature of proceeding for penalty for violation of ordinances. In a. suit to recover a penalty for violation of an ordinance, no arraignment or plea is required as in criminal cases, nor is it necessary that the verdict designate the particular count of the complaint under which the defendant was found guilty.

5. Municipal Coubt oe Chicago, § 12*—loho may prosecute suit for violation of ordinance without sworn complaint. Under a rule of the Municipal Court providing that in suits for violation of city ordinances a sworn complaint shall be filed before process is issued unless the suit is prosecuted by and in the name of the City Attorney, such suit may be prosecuted by and in the name of the “City Prosecutor” without a sworn complaint, where it appears that the City Prosecutor is in fact one of the attorneys for the City and authorized by ordinance to prosecute such suits.

6. Appeal and ebrob, § 1665*—when objection to jurisdiction waived. Where' a defendant not served with proper process entered a special appearance for the purpose of objecting to the jurisdiction of the court and on such ground moved the court to dismiss the suit and the motion was overruled, such defendant by thereafter going to trial upon the merits waives his prior motion and in legal effect, enters his general appearance.

7. Intoxicating liquobs, § 195*'—when evidence sustains finding of guilty for keeping open after hours. Evidence held sufficient to sustain a verdict of guilty for violation of an ordinance providing for the closing of a saloon, barroom or tippling house between the hours of one o’clock and five o’clock a. m. where it appeared that the defendant had a license for a saloon and another license for a restaurant on the same floor of the same premises; that the floor was divided into three rooms; that in one corner was the barroom proper, which was separated from the main room or restaurant by a partition and that in another corner of the floor was a kitchen, also separated from the main room by a partition, and that in this kitchen was what was called .a “service bar,”' from which liquors were served to patrons of the restuarant, and it appearing that the restaurant and kitchen were open after one o’clock, that fifty or more guests were found after that hour seated at the tables eating and that upon the tables were bottles resembling beer bottles, some partly filled and others empty.
