Long v. Shull ( 1898 )

Per Curiam,

The assignments of error are to the refusal of the plaintiff’s points and the affirmance of the defendants’ point that under all the evidence the verdict should be for the defendants. Unfortunately, and without fault of the appellant’s counsel, neither the general charge of the court nor the evidence given on the trial has been brought up with the record, and without the latter it is impossible for us to determine whether the points were correctly answered or not. We may remark, however, that if, as stated by the trial judge in his opinion discharging the rule for new trial, “the facts proven on the trial were substantially the same as set out in the petition opening judgment,” the court committed no error in holding that the case fairly came within the principle upon which Van Horne v. Dick, 151 Pa. 341, was 'ruled. In this view the principal debtor was not an entire stranger to the transaction in which the plaintiff bound himself not to proceed on the note during the period given the Shulls for the repurchase or redemption of the property. It is evident however that the appellant’s counsel is not willing -to concede that the facts assumed in the foregoing conclusion were fully established on the trial, and without an agreement as to what the evidence was we cannot be expected to express a more decided opinion upon the question sought to be raised.

Finding no error in the record as sent up to us the judgment is affirmed.
