Hook v. White

Hook v. White, 201 Pa. 41 (Pa. 1901)

50 A. 290; 1901 Pa. LEXIS 712

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

The plaintiff appealed to this court and filed twenty-five assignments of error. An inspection of the assignments failed to convince the court of substantial error in either of them. The charge of the court to the jury was impartial and nothing appears in it which can justly be construed as depriving the plaintiff of any right or privilege he was fairly entitled to. The testimony was against his contention and was so regarded by the jury. The verdict was for the defendant and the judgment was properly entered thereon. We therefore dismiss all of the assignments.

Judgment affirmed.

On an issue to determine the validity of a judgment entered on a judgment note, a verdict and judgment for defendant will be sustained where the evidence tends to show that the note was- given by the maker to the payee, who was a relative of the maker, immediately prior to an assignment for creditors by the maker, that it was without consideration, and that its purpose was to defraud the creditors of the maker.
