Felty v. Calhoon
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Felty v. Calhoon, 147 Pa. 27 (Pa. 1892)
23 A. 438; 1892 Pa. LEXIS 779
Clark, Green, Mitchell, Paxson, Sterrett, Williams
Felty v. Calhoon
Opinion of the Court
The court below was right in dismissing appellant’s petition. It was alleged to be a petition of review, and the modesty of the petitioner evidently prevented him from saying that it was an application to review a decision of this court. This the learned judge below, for obvious reasons, declined to do. The appellant is very late with his allegation that the lot was to be two hundred and seventy feet front, instead of four hundred, — a difference so palpable that no one but an imbecile could fail to see it.
The order is affirmed, and the appeal dismissed at the costs of the appellant. C.

- Bill of review — -Attempt to review decision of Supreme Gourt. On a bill by the purchaser praying for specific performance of a contract to convey lands, the court below sustained a demurrer and dismissed the bill. On appeal, the Supreme Court reversed the decree, reinstated the bill, and ordered that a decree be entered for the plaintiff, on the demurrer. A decree having been entered for the plaintiff by the court below as directed, a petition and bill of review, subsequently filed by the defendant, that was merely the equivalent of an application to review the decision of the Supreme Court, was properly dismissed: See Felty v. Calhoon, 139 Pa. 378.
