Whereas, by a law of the General Assembly, passed at their session of eighteen hundred and thirty-nine and eighteen hundred and forty, the time of holding the circuit court for the county of Coles was fixed on the third Monday in March: And whereas, the clerk of the circuit court of Coles county having mistaken the import of the law, supposing that it was temporary, and would only be in force at the last spring term of said courts, and that the next spring term of the court would commence on the Thursday after the third Monday in March next: And whereas, the said clerk of the circuit court for Coles county (laboring under this mistake) has issued writs, summons, subpoenas, and other process, returnable on the Thursday after the third Monday in March next; therefore,

Sec.[Section] 1. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly, That all writs, summons, subpoenas, and other process, issued by the clerk of the circuit court of Coles county, returnable on the Thursday after the third Monday in March next, shall be deemed and held returnable on the third Monday thereof, and shall be valid and legal to all intents and purposes, any law to the contrary notwithstanding.Approved, January 26, 1841.
