Woodruff v. Chambers
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided March 15, 1850
13 Pa. 132

Woodruff v. Chambers

Opinion of the Court

Per curiam.

The lien which constituted the demand was entire, and. for more than the minimum limit of the court’s jurisdic*133tion, though the amount apportioned to the particular building was less. The case is analagous to a covenant for payment by instalments, for each of which there is a separate scire facias. It is clear, therefore, that the District Court had jurisdiction.

Judgment for plaintiffs.
