Supreme Court of Pennsylvania May 11, 1932, Appeal, 148 (Erie City v. Piece of Land)

Opinion by

Mr. Justice Kephart,

The City of Erie issued a scire facias on a municipal lien for grading, curbing, and paving. The owner defended on a receipt showing payment in full, given by the city treasurer to an agent of the former owner, exhibited to the present owner when he bought the property, and on the strength of which he bought.
