Williamson Estate Board Claim Dismissed in Orphans Court
Judge Hanna delivered an opinion dismissing a back board claim against the estate of George R. Williamson. Williamson and his two minor daughters lived in a shared house at 905 Cherry Street with boarders, sharing meals but paying no rent for four years. The court found there was free use of the house in exchange for board, not a landlord boarder relationship, and affirmed the auditor’s finding.

Boarding House Keepers Rule in Common Pleas Court
Judge Biddle ruled two suits over board in No 1 Common Pleas yesterday. The defense argued the keeper failed to post ecards listing charges as required by the Assembly. The court found the transactions were special contracts formed before guests occupied rooms, so the act did not apply and, if it did, the debtors waived its provisions by accepting and paying without dispute.
