Astwood v. Wanamaker

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania April 18, 1904

58 A. 139; 1904 Pa. LEXIS 565

Brown, Dean, Fell, Mestrezat, Mitchell, Potter, Thompson

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

A majority of the court are of the opinion that this case falls within the rule of construction of the Act of May 5,1899, P. L. 248, adopted in Prentice v. Hancock, 204 Pa. 128, and as the money item of the judgment is less than $1,500 the appeal must go to the Superior Court. We therefore express no opinion on any of the questions raised.

Record ordered to be remitted to the Superior Court.
