Wells v. Wilson

Wells v. Wilson
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided March 9, 1891 · Clark, Green, McCollum, Mitchell, Paxson
140 Pa. 645; 21 A. 445; 1891 Pa. LEXIS 886

Wells v. Wilson

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

We think the evidence was sufficient to take the note in suit out of the statute. That there was a distinct identification of the debt, and that it was still due and unpaid, appears from the testimony of the defendant himself, and if the plaintiff is believed, there was a promise to pay it. In any event, there was such a clear and unambiguous acknowledgment of the note, as a subsisting obligation, as is consistent with a promise to pay. This, under the authorities, is sufficient: Landis v. Roth, 109 Pa. 624.

Judgment affirmed.
