In the Suiiniiir case the defendant

Bi-ounil that tho trial JudKe otmd In

"under n claim of rlKht." When the

JudRo Ai'ihb.ilil vhtinlly said that an
error had been made and that he on
one occasion had ma 1 a similar one
himself, .hnk'e Kdwntds, however,
hi.s dlifetuitly. The opinion lcadw as
follows:
The iitxliriunetits of elioi in tills ue
tvlaii to four piliflpal points. It Is (nil
tended that the colli t cued In Insli acting
the Jury that adveise pii-sislon uiu-t be

It In our Judgment that the defendant

HANNAH DKCKntl'S DKCLAltATIONS.
2. Tho declarations ot Hannah Decker
whllo on the land In the opraicnl posses
sion of It. These decimations wire clear
ly ndmlsslblc. Tho evidence shown Unit
Hannah Decker was tho widow of An
drew Decker. The land In question was
known as the Decker ptoperty or tho
Decker homestead, tt had been lu tho
possession of the Deckers for many e.us.
When lfcnilrlek H. Wright became tho
owner of the legal title to this and other
lands ho found tho Decker cfcilni In tho
way. Ho purchused tho interest ot all tho
Decker hells.
At this time Hannah Decker was a
a widow and was In possession or tho
property. Hy tin urrangement with Mr.
Wright the widow wns pcimlttcd to te
m.iiu on the land as long as she livid.
Subsequently when l.acoe nnd other be
came the owners thuy found the widow In
possession. Hho ic minded them of her
agieimeiit with Mr. Wright, Thev agreed
to honor the ntrangement ond told tho
widow she might llvo on tin land for the
remainder' of her life.
And it Is whllo she was on the land In
the upparent possession of It and claiming
to own a life estate in It, that the dcclii
tatlons objected to vveie made. We llnd
no error In tho admission of these elis 1 1
latlons in evidence.
a. Tho defendant's third objection le
oulrcs but little comment. Defendant
served a nctlce on plaintiffs lessee lor
bidding the lessco from mining coal under
a piece of land Including the land In dis
pute. This notice was signed by the de
fendant, not In his own behalf but claim
ing for the lulls of Andrew Deckel, ills
wife being cue ot them. The fuel ol I his
notice was submitted to the lute as u
i liciimstnnee inconsistent with the de
fendant's e lalm of udveisi. osscssion.
I. J'or tho same reason we admitted rl
deueo as to the obtaining of a del d bv do
leudanl for the sumo land liom the bib's
of AudteW Decke". We weie can fu, to
instinct the July that the defendant had
a right to purchase an outstanding title
without compiomlslng his claim of ad
verso possession, but taking the tistl
mony as to the purpose, for which the ih d
was obtained and the notice of defendant
to plaintiff's lessee claiming title lor the
Duker hills we submitted the fact ol too
pure huso of tho alleged Decker tub v f '
other facts ol Ihe defendant as a elr
inmstanie to lie eonsldeied li. tin m m
passing upon the validity of his i lalm.
A AS A CASH POK .ll'KY.
Cotinsi I for plnlutllf strenuously iust
id on binding lnsti notions to the ,lurv to
llnd lor the plaintiff. We were much Im
piesseil bj tl. force of their contention
nnd we considered that the pl.iUiliu pre
sented a sttong defense to the defend nt's
claim of adverse pos'-i sson; but we ate
still of the opinion til te t- nvlewlug tho
evldet.ee, that it was a ease foi the tu'v.
The Jury decided In favor of the ptalntllf.
T'mlor the evidence we do not see how
they could decide otbeiwle. The rulo
lor a new trial is discharged and a new
trial is refused.
The usury question niose in tin insi

She asked to have the Judgment op

of Us bitbircKS in this jstati and this
being' the i.ue the- lnt"i"st ihaigce
which was in excess of the maximum
allow ed in Vi'iin'-vlvanlu. was Illegal.
Judge Kdvv.it Is la.vs that while the
association may he to all Intents and
ptli poses a Pennsvlvan'a iinnvin nnd
while It may have taken the means
above Indicated to avi Id the stil'i
gency of the Pennsylvania laws ami
avail itself of mote liberal luovlslotisi
of the New Jersey laws, the couit can
not, in the present case, go into tin se
matters. The plaintiff must be eon
sldeied a New Jersey corporation dolnj;
business In Pennsylvania.
Tho defendants also alleged that u
foielgn eorpoiation, although governed
hy New Jersey laws, must not collect
more than the maximum interest al
lowed In Pennsylvania on loans mnelo
In this state. In reply to this Judir.!
Kdwards quotes a decision of the su
preme coutt, which says that In a cas
like this the association enn legally
eliatge and collect In Pennsylvania the
highest intetost peimltted in New Jer
sey, the stale lu which the contract
was made.
A thlid point of the defendant was
that while the contiact empoweted the
attorney to confess Judgment for inly
$3,"00 and costs, he Illegally entered
Judgment for $'1,11.00. Thl point Is
well taken, Judge IMwuhW decides,
and lu directs that the Judfinent ho
opened as to the excess. The c ssts
