Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, 1809

Scott v. Israel

Scott v. Israel
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided December 19, 1809
2 Binn. 145; 1809 Pa. LEXIS 45

Scott v. Israel

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

We have no doubt in this case. The attorney having marked his name generally, and in no part of the record having declared that he appeared for one in particular, must be presumed to have appeared for both; and the plea entered in this short way, must be referred to the appearance, and be considered as a plea for both. As to the defendant’s being summoned, it is not material, he may appear without summons.

Judgment affirmed.
