Toomey's Estate

Toomey's Estate
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided July 13, 1892 · Heydbick, McCollum, Paxson, Stebbett, Williams
150 Pa. 535; 24 A. 697; 1892 Pa. LEXIS 1366

Toomey's Estate

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

We think the learned auditor and court below were right in rejecting the appellant’s claim. It was exceedingly stale, if not suspicious. It was long since barred by the statute of limitations. The letter from John Toomey to the appellant, dated April 18, 1886, and which he relies upon to toll the statute, is found by the auditor to be a forgery. We cannot sustain any of the specifications of error.

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