Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · decided 1888-10-29
Error, No. 198, Oct. T., 1888, to C. P. Armstrong Co., to review a judgment on a verdict for defendants in an action of ejectment by Mary Harkins against Isabella Doran, and Hugh Harkins et al., heirs of John Plarkins, deceased, and the administrator of said decedent, at March T., 1888, No. 328. Green and Hand, JJ., absent. The writ of ejectment was issued Feb. 22, 1888, for ninety-nine acres of land more or less, in North Buffalo township, Armstrong county.
Decided 1888-10-29
¶1The covenant of John Harkins, as found in the agreement of June 18th, 1852, between Hugh O. Harkins and himself, for the maintenance of his sister Mary, is personal, and neither gave her a right in the land nor charged her maintenance on it. It follows that, whatever her rights may be, they cannot be enforced by the writ of ejectment.
¶2The judgment is affirmed.
