Supreme Court of Pennsylvania May 15, 1841 (Hadley v. Snevily)

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Huston, J.

The defence in this case was, that the contract, which was the foundation of the plaintiff’s action, was made on Sunday; and we think the court erred in putting the burthen of proof when it was made, upon the plaintiff: it was the allegation of the defendant, and he must sustain it by proof.
