Shaw v. Betts
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided May 17, 1886
2 Sadler 452; 4 A. 731; 1886 Pa. LEXIS 693

Shaw v. Betts

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

If the learned judge committed any error in this case, it was in being too favorable to the plaintiff in error. There is certainly nothing giving him any just cause of complaint. When a sum of money is decreed to two persons jointly, and one of them claims more than a moiety thereof, he takes on himself the burden of proving, in some manner, his right thereto.

Judgment affirmed.
