This bill having been laid before the Council of Revision, and ten days not having intervened before the adjournment of the General Assembly, and the said bill not having been returned with the objections of the council, on the first day of the present session of the General Assembly, the same has become a law.
Given under my hand, the 6th day of December, 1336.

1The bill was approved by the Council of Revision on March 5, 1837. The certification and the in-force date seem to be erroneous.
2On January 24, 1837, the Senate adopted a resolution instructing the Committee on the Judiciary to inquire into the
expediency of a law requiring clerks of circuit courts to issue executions on the filing of any writ or procedendo in their respective offices
issued by order of the Illinois Supreme Court. In response to this resolution Orville H. Browning of the Committee on the Judiciary introduced SB 136 in the Senate on January 30. The Senate passed the bill on February 2. On March 4,
the House of Representatives passed the bill. On March 5, the Council of Revision approved the bill and the act became law.
