Lanahan v. Dampman

Decided October 13, 1884

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · decided 1884-10-13

In the court below these were two actions of ejectment, one by J. K. Lanahan against John Dampman, David Buchanan, and Walter Weaver, for the west half of lot No. 94 in the borough of Freeport, the other by the same plaintiff against John Dampman and George Iseman, for the east half of the same lot.

Decided 1884-10-13

Per Curiam:

¶1The plaintiff in error demands a stay of execution under the act of 23d March, 1877, Pardon’s Digest, 2118, without complying with the conditions on which a stay is granted. The act, inter alia, declares “before any person shall be entitled to a stay of execution on real estate levied upon, he shall pay the interest due on the debt, and the interest due upon prior liens thereon.” This he did not do. He, therefore, had' no right to invoke the lenient provisions of the act.

¶2Judgment affirmed.
