December 10, 1875, The Allegheny Valley Railroad Company brought suit against E. E. Phillips, administrator of the estate of Wm. Phillips, deceased, and January 8, 1883, recovered judgment for the sum of $466,837.36.

Affirmed, etc · Decided 1885-11-09

Per Curiam:

¶1This case is brought before us by appeal and on certiorari. An appeal does not lie, and on certiorari we can look at the record only. No error is shown therein. If we look beyond the record it appears that the appellant employed counsel and prosecuted a writ of error in this court after she became of full age. The judgment having then been affirmed, she cannot now go back of it and avoid it by showing her previous infancy.

¶2Judgment otn the certiorari affirmed, and appeal quashed.
