Syllabus

<p>Affidavit of defense — Exception—Appeal—Act of April 18, 1874.</p> <p>To sustain an appeal from an order of the court below refusing to enter judgment for want of a sufficient affidavit of defense, an exception must be taken to the order as required by the act of April 18, 1874, P. L. 64.</p> <p>The act of April 18, 1874, P. L. 64, was intended to reach only clear eases of error in law, and the Supreme Court will not consider an appeal under the act where at most there is merely a doubt as to the correctness of the decision of the lower court.</p>
