Vietor v. Johnson

Vietor v. Johnson
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided April 25, 1892 · Green, McCollum, Mitchell, Paxson, Sterrett, Williams
148 Pa. 583; 24 A. 173; 1892 Pa. LEXIS 1032

Vietor v. Johnson

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

We cannot sustain any of the specifications of error. The principal contention was over the judgment of Yietor & Achclis, which the appellants contended was a void instrument, and did not warrant the entering of judgment and the issuing of execution: See second specification. We cannot say that it was a void instrument. It was a note for $12,500, payable to the maker or bearer, with a confession of judgment for that sum. Upon this note judgment was entered by the firm, Vie-tor & Aehelis, bearers, through their attorney. The consideration of the note was the subject of inquiry, both by the auditor and the court below, aided by the verdict of the jury in a feigned issue. We think it was entitled to participate in the distribution.

The decree is affirmed, and the appeal dismissed at the costs of the appellants.
