Bachman v. Gross

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania July 13, 1892

Bachman v. Gross, 150 Pa. 516 (Pa. 1892)

24 A. 712; 1892 Pa. LEXIS 1354

Green, McCollum, Mitchell, Paxson, Sterrett

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

This was an ejectment in the court below. The only speci- . fication of error is that the court imposed full costs, the de*517fendants not having filed a disclaimer. The ruling of the court below is so clearly right, and the appeal itself of such a trifling nature, that we not only affirm the judgment, but also impose the penalty of $20 counsel fee, provided by the act of assembly for frivolous appeals.
