The Court handed down an opinion in the case of Butler County vs the Dept. of Public chanties of Allegheny city deciding that the last legal residence of Nathaniel Sefton lunatic was in Alle- gheny city and was so at the time of his commitment to the Warren Asylum. In Union county, lately Judge Mc- Clure held that the payment of a few dollars on a judgment before the full 20 years had expired received the judg- ment. The case was one where the plaintiff held a judgment against the defendant for 22 years without ever hav- ing l»een revived A few months ago an attachment execution was iisued against tha share of the defendant in his deceased father s estate. The defend- ant thereupon moved the court strike off the attachment because the latter was more than twenty years old, and setting up the doctrine that the presum- ption of payment had arisen after 20 years. The plaintiff proved a payment of a few dollars on the judgment before the full 20 years had expired, and the conrt in the opinion says that the pay- ment revived the judgment for 20 years more frv>mi the date of the payment, and therefore refused to strike of the attach- ment.

In Union county, lately Judge Mc-Clure held that the payment of a fewdollars on a judgment before the full 20years had expired received the judg-ment.
