Fenn v. Blanchard

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Decided March 15, 1800

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · decided 1800-03-15

p. Ejectment of a house and lot in the city of Philadelphia.

Decided 1800-03-15

By the court.

¶1This verdict is substantially good, though inarti ficially worded by the jury. It only finds for the plaintiff, if the deed of settlement was legal and good. Judging on the words of it, we can have no difficulty about it; and if we could be allowed to travel out of the words of it, we had no doubts at the trial, that it was executed when General Stewart had a clear estate, and that it was good as to his subsequent creditors. But in this stage of the cause, the laiv forbids all such inquires, and we are confined to the facts found.

¶2Judgment for the plaintiff.
