5 Watts & Serg. 44

Phillips v. Hellings

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Decided December 15, 1842

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · decided 1842-12-15

It appeared that Henrietta Disborough brought two actions on the case against Jacob S. Walton in the Common Pleas of Bucks county, to September term 1826, in which judgments were severally entered for want of an appearance on the 15th of September 1826, leaving blanks for the amount, which were filled up by agreement of the parties in 1829, with the several sums of $600 and $500.

Decided 1842-12-15

Pee Curiam.

¶1This case is too plain for dispute. Judgments were signed in actions on the case for want of appearance, but without declaration filed, or anything else to indicate the amount; and they were consequently interlocutory in the first instance. The amount was subsequently settled by agreement, and entered on the record, and they became final; but other liens had attached the land in the meantime, and the proceeds of the sheriff’s sale were properly adjudged to have been applicable to them.

¶2Judgment affirmed.
