Landes v. Borough of Norristown ( 1888 )

Per Curiam:

The judgment of the court below was right. The mere form of the action is not to be considered, but the cause. The cause in these cases was the injury done to the plaintiff’s property by the grading of the streets, and the common-law action would be case or trespass; hence, the cases fall within the limitation act of the 27th of March, 1713.

Judgments affirmed.
