4 Sadler 593

Doyle v. Mays

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Decided January 31, 1887

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · decided 1887-01-31

July Term, 1886, No. 212, E. D., before Meecur, Ch. J., Gordon, Paxson, Trunkey, Sterrett, and Green, JJ. Error to the Common Pleas No. 1 of Philadelphia County to review a judgment on a verdict for the plaintiffs in an action of assumpsit. The cause of action and the testimony adduced at the trial, before Biddle, J., are sufficiently set forth in his charge to the jury, which was as follows: The law makes me responsible in declaring the law to you.

Affirmed · Decided 1887-01-31

Per Curiam:

¶1Both the errors assigned are to the refusal of the court to give binding instructions to the jury to find for the defendant below. It would have been clear error to so instruct them. The evidence was sufficient to submit to them. There is no error assigned to the manner of the submission.

¶2Judgment affirmed.
