ACTIONS. Act of June 24, 1895, relating to time
within which actions for personal injuries must
be brought, is constitutional...
When plaintiff in action, brought two years after
passage of act for injuries sustained prior to pass-
age of act, cannot complain that act is retroactive. Ib
As a saving from the operation of the act for disa-
bilities must be expressed, it follows that no ex-
ceptions having been made as to infants in regard
to time of bringing suit, they are bound by pro-
visions of statute...
An affidavit quoting the words of the plaintiff's
statement and denying them in toto is insuffi-
cient.........
26
Suit for damages resulting in death must be
brought by the party entitled to the money...... 147
ADMIRALTY JURISDICTION. A bill in equity
for appointment of a receiver and sale of a boat
will not lie in the State court....
AFFIDAVIT OF DEF ENSE What act
in
affidavit of defense to suit by receiver of mutual
insurance company to recover assessments from
policy holders to pay debts of company, will be
insufficient to prevent judgment.....
Judgment may be entered for insufficiency as to
part of a defense with leave to proceed for the
balar.ce...........
55
146
Where an agent is not notified of an action against
his principal he is not concluded by the judg
ment recovered, in an action against him by the
principal to recover back the amount........
An affidavit of defense should state the facts and
not inferences from facts.....
An affidavit of defense must aver each item s ecific-
ally so that the court may determine whether it
is valid in law..........
369
Ib
An assignment stops the running of the statute of
limitations.......
411
ATTORNEYS.
30
What are reasonable fees in com-
promising a difficult claim by administratrix for
life insurance...
Attorney's fees to the property owners should be
paid by city where it repeals an ordinance for
street paving after damages are assessed..
88
325
An attorney employed by an executor is not a
creditor of the estate, and his fees are strictly in
the discretion of the Orphans' Court......
An attorney's contract for fees, though more than
he could recover on a quantum meruit, is valid if
the client fully understood the situation and con-
tract......
383
BANKRUPTCY. Rules of Referee, Wm. R. Blair. 36
Bankruptcy Act does not conflict with domestic
attachment law.
A bankrupt court may restrain an execution credi-
tor from proceeding and thus obtaining a prefer-
ence...
54
44
Rent of premises of bankrupt for business, prior to
filing of petition, is preferred claim...
Lease provided that if lessee became bankrupt rent
for entire term should become due. Lessor levied
for rent in arrear, and two days later lessee was
adjudged bankrupt. Held, that lessor's lien un-
der levy was dissolved by bankruptcy, and his
claim for rent was limited to one year....
Where defendant is declared a bankrupt within
four months of a sheriff's sale of his property,
the fund should be paid to the trustee.....
Rent is not a preferred claim for the entire unex-
pired term, but only for the time of actual de-
fault......
127
Ib
144
.......
A bankrupt is entitled to receive his exemptions
without giving a bond to the trustee.........
The referee will not restrain a sheriff's sale of
bankrupt's property where the preferred claims
exceed the value of the property.
An execution issued eight days before the defend-
ant is declared a bankrupt is made void by the
proceeding............................... ........
175
Rent penalties are not a preferred claim in bank-
ruptcy....
177
A secured creditor may participate in dividends
for the amount his debt exceeds his security...... Ib
All liens acquired within four months of adjudica-
tion of bankruptcy, and while the defendant is
insolvent, are void whether the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings are voluntary or involuntary.
200
A secured creditor may at any time surrender his
securit and participate in the common fund...... 202
Judgment against an individual is not a fraud on
creditors of the firm, section 5 of bankruptcy law. 265
A judgment in a sci. fa, on a mortgage obtained
after defendant is declared a bankrupt, the writ
being issued with consent of referee, will not be
opened at request of a trustee subsequently ap-
pointed.........
301
The trustee will be allowed to intervene for the
purpose of filing an affidavit of defense........... 301, 311
