Scott's Appeal

Decided February 21, 1887

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · decided 1887-02-21

Appeal of A. Scott et al., trading as A. Scott & Son, No. 213, Jan. T., 1886, from decree of C. P. Delaware Co., dismissing exceptions to the report of an auditor… Held: the creditors are equitable owners. Also, further, that Graeff was not an equitable owner of as many separate shares as he had distinct debts (he owned three judgments, two of which had been paid in full from proceeds of sheriff’s sale of real estate, and the third was partly paid in same manner).

Decided 1887-02-21

Per Curiam,

¶1We have given to this case a careful examination and consideration. Notwithstanding the able and zealous argument of the counsel for the appellants, we are not able to discover any error in the decree. The satisfactory reasoning of the auditor, affirmed in the opinion of the court, fully sustains the conclusion at which both arrived. It is not necessary to add anything thereto.

¶2Decree affirmed and appeal dismissed at the costs of the appellants.

¶3In syllabus to above case, the word “leases” should read “releases.”
