Rule for judgment for want of sufficient affidavit of defense. Before LEWIS, J.

The opinion of the Supreme Court states the facts.

Rule discharged. Plaintiff appealed.

Error assigned was order, quoting record.

Charles L. Smyth, for appellant.

James C. Crumlish and Hamilton C. Connor, for appellee, were not heard.


Argued January 4, 1928.


The court below refused to enter judgment in favor of plaintiff for want of a sufficient affidavit of defense and this appeal followed. We have repeatedly said that the record must clearly show plain error of law before we will sustain such an appeal (Federal Sales Co. v. Farrell, 264 Pa. 149, 153; Goodrich Rubber Co. v. Motor Tire Corporation, 291 Pa. 185), and this is not a case of that kind.

The order of the court below is affirmed.
