144 Pa. 266

Sweigert v. Finley

Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas, York County · decided 1891-10-05

No. 9 July Term 1891, Sup. Ct.; court below, No. 88 August Term 1890, C. P. In July, 1890, Joseph W. Sweigert brought trespass against Lysander W. Finley, the sheriff of York county, to recover damages for the seizure and sale of plaintiff’s property, on an execution in favor of Samuel Hay against William Lesh. Issue.

Decided 1891-10-05

Per Curiam; :

¶1The court below properly instructed the jury that there could *269be no recovery for the horse, wagon, harness, and forks, for the reason that there was not sufficient evidence of their sale and delivery by William Lesh to the plaintiff. The question of the ownership of the iron was fairly submitted to the jury under adequate instructions. An examination of the numerous assignments fails to disclose error. The case is not important, either as to the principles involved or the amount in controversy.

¶2Judgment affirmed.
