Syllabus

<p>Married women — Judgment—Sci. fa. to revive — Coverture—Presumption.</p> <p>On a sci. fa. to revive a judgment, no defence can be made except one that has arisen since the judgment. If a judgment has been entered against husband and wife and revived without any indication of the relationship of the defendants, when it is again revived against them as husband and wife, the presumption is that the coverture took place after the first revival; and coverture cannot be pleaded or proved on a sci. fa. to revive the last judgment.</p> <p>Conlyn v. Parker, 113 Pa. 29, affirmed; Seymour v. Hubert, 92 Pa. 499, explained and distinguished.</p>
