Syllabus

<p>Judgment — Township poor district — Laches—Striking off judgment.</p> <p>Where the overseers of the poor of a township borrow money and give a note therefor, and the money is used for the legitimate purposes of the district, a judgment entered on the note will neither be stricken off nor opened, where it appears that a portion of the judgment was paid, and that no steps were taken by the overseers for three years to contest its validity. Such a judgment is not void, but at the most voidable if steps are taken within a reasonable time to question it.</p>
