Appeal, No. 391, Jan. Term, 1897, by defendant, from judgment of C.P. No. 4, Phila. Co., Sept. Term, 1894, No. 728, on verdict for plaintiffs. Affirmed.
Ejectment for a lot of land, 610 South street, in the city of Philadelphia. Before WILLSON, J.
At the trial it appeared that the title to the land was originally in Philip Kelly who, on March 3, 1875, made a deed of trust to Andrew R. Maynes, the habendum clause of which is as follows:
April 18, 1883, Mary Reilly conveyed her interest in the lot to Mary C. Keichline. October, 1884, Mary Reilly died. January 5, 1891, Susan Kelly, wife of Philip Kelly, died. August 18, 1891, Mary C. Keichline died, leaving her realty to the plaintiffs. The defendant is the surviving child of Susan A. K. Maynes.
The court gave binding instructions for plaintiff, subject to the point reserved "whether under all the evidence the plaintiffs are entitled to recover."
Verdict and judgment for plaintiff.
Error assigned was in entering judgment on verdict.
Judgment affirmed.
