Syllabus

<p>Evidence — Assignment of stock — Nonsuit.</p> <p>In an action of assumpsit by an administrator to recover the value of building association stock which had been assigned by plaintiff’s decedent four years before his death, a nonsuit is properly entered where the plaintiff offers no evidence to contradict the absolute assignment, and to show that the assignment of the stock was as a pledge only, and relies simply upon an answer filed by the defendant in a proceeding in the orphans’ court, which answer constituted a flat denial of the plaintiff’s right and an assertion of a complete title in the defendant.</p>
