Mahon v. Traber

Indiana Supreme Court

Decided June 12, 1860

Indiana Supreme Court · decided 1860-06-12

<p>The law authorizing- judgment without relief upon a class of contracts, is constitutional.</p>

Decided 1860-06-12

Per Curiam.

¶1Suit on note. Judgment by default. The judgment was without relief. The case was not put in a state below to show error on appeal.

¶2It is said the law authorizing judgment without relief, upon a class of contracts, is special and unconstitutional. *526We do not think so. It is a general, uniform law, operating upon all persons, throughout the entire state alike, so far as relates to a defined class of contracts. We think that is a general law. See Reed v. The State, 12 Ind. R. 641.

J. R. Coffroth and L. P. Milligcm, for the appellant.TV H. Coombs, for the appellees.

¶3The judgment is affirmed with 5 per cent, damages and costs.
