Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · decided 1835-04-16

This was a writ of error to the District Court, for the city and county of Philadelphia. Martin and Allen being about to sue out a mechanic’s claim for work done, an amicable scire facias, with a confession of judgment, for the sum of one thousand three hundred and thirty dollars and fourteen cents, was entered on the 13th of October, 1831, signed by Myers, Hoover and Mackway, the defendants.

Decided 1835-04-16

Per Curiam.

¶1The parties here withdrew the case from the action of the court below, and voluntarily submitted it to an auditor chosen by themselves, who was “ to report the amount due upon the claim filed,” which was the subject-matter in dispute. By-the submission, he was not even to report the facts, and even if he had, unless the parties had agreed by the submission, that such report should be a subject of error, or that the same should be taken as a special verdict or case stated, this writ of error would not be sustainable. Wilson v. Commonwealth, 3 Penn. Rep. 532.
