Davis ex rel. Purdy v. Huggins
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided January 4, 1897 · Dean, Fell, Green, Mitchell, Rett, Ster, Williams
179 Pa. 508; 36 A. 318; 1897 Pa. LEXIS 681

Davis ex rel. Purdy v. Huggins

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

In view of the evidence in support of the plaintiff’s claim, and the absence of any testimony on which to base a valid defense, the learned president of the common pleas was clearly right in directing the jury to find in favor of the plaintiff for the full amount of his claim. There was no error in excluding the offers recited in the first and second specifications respectively, nor is there anything in the case that requires further notice.

Judgment affirmed.
