Trego v. Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts

3 A. 819, 2 Sadler 313, 18 Week. No. 98, 1886 Pa. LEXIS 599
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania·Decided April 19, 1886·Published·Cited by 5 cases

Opinion

Per Curiam:

The manifest meaning of the proposal is that prizes would be given in pursuance of awards, and not contrary thereto.

The persons who shall compose the jury of awards are stated in the offer. They were to constitute the tribunal to pass upon the merits of the paintings, and to decide to which prizes should be awarded. Unless so awarded by this jury no prize was demandable. There was, therefore, no error in entering judgment for the defendant on the demurrer.

Judgment affirmed.
