American Tube & Iron Co. v. Crafts
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Contract, upon judgments of the Court of Common Pleas in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The two actions were tried together, by agreement of parties, before Sherman, J. The jury returned verdicts in both cases against the defendants, Crafts and Foote, and they alleged exceptions. The facts appear in the opinion.
1Opinion of the CourtAllen, J.
The question in this case is quite narrow. We think it must be assumed that the two defendants against whom alone verdicts were rendered, Foote and Crafts, though residents of Massachusetts, and though not personally served with process in Pennsylvania in the original suits against them, were personally present in court or at hearings, and that an attorney entered an appearance for them as defendants, in those suits; and that *258the court there assumed to exercise jurisdiction and to render judgment against them on the ground that they as defendants appeared personally or by attorney.
