Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, 1849

Clemens v. Gilbert

Clemens v. Gilbert
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided September 15, 1849
12 Pa. 255

Clemens v. Gilbert

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The justice’s docket contains no entry of an offer to confess judgment for a particular sum. The fact that such an offer was made appears in his certificate to authenticate the transcript sent up with the appeal; but it is no part of the transcript; and no better than the unofficial assertion of the justice, which would not be received even under the sanction of his oath.

Judgment affirmed.
