In Bucker v. Central Business Men's Ass'n, 248 Ill. App. 657, where the clerk of the court erroneously permitted a cause to remain on the calendar of Judge Scanlan, after an order had been entered assigning the same to the calendar of another judge and the trial judge calling cases from Judge Scanlan's calendar was not apprised of the fact and therefore dismissed the same in the absence of the plaintiff, for want of prosecution, it was held that the judgment would be set aside upon petition under section 89.
