Wells v. Wilson , 140 Pa. 645 ( 1891 )


Menu:
  • Per Curiam:

    We think the evidence was sufficient to take the note in suit out of the statute. That there was a distinct identification of the debt, and that it was still due and unpaid, appears from the testimony of the defendant himself, and if the plaintiff is believed, there was a promise to pay it. In any event, there was such a clear and unambiguous acknowledgment of the note, as a subsisting obligation, as is consistent with a promise to pay. This, under the authorities, is sufficient: Landis v. Roth, 109 Pa. 624.

    Judgment affirmed.
