Atkinson v. Graham
5 Watts 411
Pa.1836Check TreatmentThe evidence in derogation of the plaintiff’s character, which was not put in issue by the pleadings, ought not to have been received. The plaintiff’s declarations also, in regard to the state of the accounts, previous to the date of the note, were inadmissible; but so much of the evidence as went to show a receipt of the defendant’s money since was proper.
Judgment reversed, and a venire de novo awarded.
