6 Sadler 231; 9 A. 255; 1887 Pa. LEXIS 614
Fairchild v. Fairchild

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam :

That a demise of all the coal under the surface of a specified piece of land is a sale of the coal is now too well fortified by authority to be successfully questioned in Pennsylvania.

The cases affirming this conclusion are cited in the opinion of the learned judge, and fully sustain the judgment he entered on the case stated.

Judgment affirmed.
