Syllabus

<p>Practice, Superior Court — Assumpsit—Appeal—Case conducted 'by plaintiff in person — No error shown.</p> <p>In an action of assumpsit to recover money alleged to have been deposited with the defendant to guarantee payment of certain accounts, where the defense was a denial that such deposit had been made, and, further, an averment that, if it had, recovery would be barred by reason of the fact that the defendant had recently been discharged in bankruptcy, an appeal from verdict and judgment for defendant will be dismissed, if the record shows no reasons for which it could be sustained.</p> <p>While the paper-book in this appeal disregarded so many of the rules of the Superior Court that the appeal might well have been dismissed for that reason, the court examined the record because the appellant conducted his case in person, apparently, without the aid of counsel.</p>
