Mahoney v. City of Pittsburgh

2 sentences1951Appellant relies upon Mahoney v. City of Pittsburgh, 320 Pa. 44 , 181 A. 590 , to support his contention, but in the McClelland case, supra, at page 411, it was said: “But, plainly enough, this court did not hold in the Mahoney case that the plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence as a matter of law merely because he was one of four persons occupying the front seat of the automobile involved in the accident there in question.” What the statute contemplates is a causal connection between the occupancy of the front seat by more than three persons and an accident involving the vehicle. 1951Appellant relies upon Mahoney v.

Rutherford v. Academy of Music
green
1 sentence1941I think the case comes within the rule of Rutherford v. Academy of Music, 87 Pa.

Pennsylvania Stave Co.'s Appeal
neutral
1 sentence1930This case having been tried ex parte, and the judgment having been entered upon the finding for the plaintiff, it [may] be treated not as an adverse judgment, but as ‘won by default.’ ” We think the case comes within the rule referred to in Pennsylvania Stave Company’s Appeal, 225 Pa. 178, at 181 , that, if a case calling for equitable interference is made out, “the ending of the term would not necessarily preclude relief.” Order affirmed. | 1 | 1930–1930 |

Commonwealth ex rel. McClain v. Locke
green
2 sentences1904It is argued, however, that the case comes within the principle of Locke’s Appeal, 72 Pa. 491 . 1904If the act was an absolute and unconditional repeal of the prohibitory act for Potter county, it would, "of course, leave that territory subject to the general laws governing the granting of licenses, and if, in addition to the repeal and in lieu of the second section, the people of the county of Potter had been allowed to vote license or no license, the case would be practically that of Locke’s Appeal, supra.
