Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County March 26, 1836 (Lacroix v. Macquart)

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Stroud, J.

The only point for inquiry is, whether the defendant’s plea of former recovery is sustained by the record. He alleges that it is, on the ground that the discontinuance of the 9th of May 1835 was without the sanction of the court — a mere entry by counsel in the prothonotary’s office.
