Syllabus
<p>1. An affidavit of defence to a municipal claim for paving, etc., averring that the contract for the work was illegally and fraudulently let and the work badly done, without alleging the specific defects and the special injury to the defendant therefrom, is insufficient to prevent summary judgment : Erie City v. Butler, 120 Pa. 374.</p> <p>2. The affidavit stated opinions, not facts; and, as defendant was a stranger to the contract, she would have no standing to defend upon the grounds alleged, at least without showing special injury to herself by reason thereof, and that special injury must relate to so much of the work as was charged against her property.</p>
