Knipper v. B. & L. E. Traction Co.

This is a rule to strike off judgments entered upon verdicts by the prothonotary. The suit in which the verdicts were obtained was an action of trespass for damages. The case was tried before Judge Criswell and a jury. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs and against the defendant. A motion was made June 26,1925, for judgment n. o. v., which was denied by Judge Criswell July 6, 1925.
