38 Pa. Super. 567 | Pa. Super. Ct. | 1909
1. In view of the recent decision in Jones v. Lincoln Savings & Trust Co., 222 Pa. 325, it is needless to discuss the question of the jurisdiction of the court below, to appoint a receiver of the defendant corporation upon the bill filed by Annie H. Groff, even if the appellant be in position to raise the question.
2. The court below was right in its interpretation of our decree in Groff v. City Saving Fund & Trust Co., 32 Pa. Superior Ct. 416, quashing this appellant’s appeal from a former
3. It follows that the decree overruling the exceptions to the auditors’ report and confirming the same absolutely was not a decree nisi, such as is contemplated in equity rule 63, but a final decree, from which the appellant could have appealed at once without filing exceptions thereto. He nevertheless was required by rule 92, to file with his notice of appeal a brief statement of the errors he alleged to have been made by the decree appealed from, and we assume that this was done. But this was not to be acted on by the court below; the statutory period within which he was required to take his appeal began to run on the day the decree was entered. He could not extend the time for review by filing, in addition to his brief statement of errors, exceptions to the decree, alleging errors in overruling his former exception to the auditors’ report, and then appealing from the order quashing the exceptions filed after the final decree was entered: Keim’s Appeal, 27 Pa. 42; Frazier’s Estate, 7 Pa. Superior Ct. 473; s. c., 188 Pa. 415; Barlott v. Forney, 187 Pa. 301.
The appeal is quashed at the costs of the appellant.
