Syllabus
<p>1. A writ of error, not an appeal, is the proper remedy against an erroneous order striking a municipal claim for lien from the records, and an appeal improvidently taken from such order will be quashed on motion.</p> <p>2. The object of the Philadelphia registry acts: March 14,1865, P. L. 321; March 29, 1867, P. L. 600, is (a) to enable the city to designate the true owner of property with reasonable certainty, and (b) to provide for actual notice of municipal claims affecting property thus registered to the owner thereof.</p> <p>8. A municipal claim filed in Philadelphia county for the cost of the abatement of a nuisance, and which does not aver noticie to the registered owner to abate the nuisance and a non-compliance therewith, is fatally defective and may be stricken off.</p>
