The opinion

Mr. Justice Jones

delivered the opinion of the court:

Herman Brown was- a judge of an election in Chicago on November 8, 1932. A petition was filed in the county court of Cook county for a rule on him to show cause wdiy he should not be adjudged guilty of contempt for corrupt and fraudulent conduct as a judge of said election. An attachment was issued, a hearing had, the respondent adjudged guilty of contempt and sentenced to the county jail for sixty days. He prosecuted a writ of error out of the Appellate Court. The judgment was there affirmed, and a further attempt to have the cause reviewed is made in this court.

We held in People v. Kotwas, 363 Ill. 336 , People v. Ford, id. 340 , and People v. Benjamin, id. 344 , that this court is without jurisdiction to review a judgment of this character. The writ of error is therefore dismissed.

Writ dismissed.
