Jewell v. Frank
Superior Court of Pennsylvania · Decided May 13, 1912 · Head, Henderson, Morrison, Orlady, Rice
50 Pa. Super. 193; 1912 Pa. Super. LEXIS 27

Jewell v. Frank

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

The verdict was in due form and responsive to the issue raised by the pleadings, and manifestly the question of the sufficiency of the evidence cannot be raised by assigning the verdict for error. Nor is that question raised by the fourth assignment, which is a mere statement of the appellant’s contention. It is neither in form nor in substance a specification of error in the charge. Moreover, it does not appear that a point was presented for binding directions, or that an exception was taken to the charge. The assignment alleging error “in admitting certain testimony” is in plain violation of our rules, and cannot be considered, because no testimony is set forth or even indicated in the assignment.

All of the assignments of error are dismissed and the judgment is affirmed.
