Kerr v. Wonderlich

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

The judgment sought to be opened in this case is not within the letter or spirit of the act of April 4, 1811. Lamb’s Appeal, 89 Pa. 407.

The record shows the entry of an amicable action, and the appearance of the defendant in the said amicable action, and the confession of judgment in favor of the plaintiff for a sum specified. The refusal to open such a judgment is an act of judicial discretion which we will not review. McClelland v. Pomeroy, 75 Pa. 412.

Appeal quashed.
