Peoples' S. Bank v. Alexander
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided February 16, 1891 · Clark, Green, McCollum, Mitchell, Paxson, Sterrett, Williams
140 Pa. 22; 21 A. 248; 1891 Pa. LEXIS 794

Peoples' S. Bank v. Alexander

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

We are of opinion that there was abundance of evidence from which the jury might properly find an agreement or understanding between Henry Brown and John Alexander that Brown should and did accept Willis Booth as tenant in lieu of Alexander, and released the latter from liability under his covenant. This is all there is in the case. It was a question of fact, which the court below properly submitted to the jury.

Judgment affirmed.
