7 Watts 62

Hoover v. Heim

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Decided May 15, 1838

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · decided 1838-05-15

common pleas of York county. Joseph Heim against John Hoover. This was an action of trespass for an injury done to the person of the plaintiff’s minor daughter, by beating her. The plaintiff, after giving evidence that the consequence of the injury was, that his daughter had ever since been subject to fits, offered to prove that that consequence still continued up to the time of the triai. The defendant objected to the proof of consequences since suit brought.

Decided 1838-05-15

Per Curiam.

¶1Perhaps either trespass or case would be sustained here; but as there was' an exhibition of actual force, the former is the more proper. The evidence that the consequences of the injury continued to be felt since the suit was brought, was evidently proper.

¶2Judgment affirmed.
