Wernwag v. Pawling, 5 G. & J. 500, 1833 WL 2211, 25 Am.Dec. 317

Facts

The appellee, Pawling, filed an action of debt against Wernwag based on a judgment from Montgomery County Court in Pennsylvania, which awarded Pawling $215.88. The judgment was authenticated according to federal law, and the defendant objected to its admissibility, claiming it was not a valid judgment. The trial court overruled the objection, leading to an appeal by Wernwag.

It appeared from the record, which was admitted to be authenticated agreeably to the act of Congress, that the parties appeared by their attornies, on the day fixed by the rule for the selection of arbitrators, when they were chosen accordingly by their said attornies, and a time and place agreed on, for them to meet, and make their award.

Issue

Whether the judgment obtained in Pennsylvania was valid and enforceable in Maryland despite the defendant's objections regarding its admissibility and validity.

Rule

Under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution, judgments from one state must be recognized and enforced in other states if they are valid in the state where they were rendered.

By the first section of the fourth article of the constitution of the United States, it is declared, 'that full faith and credit shall be given in each State to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other State.'

Analysis

The court applied the Full Faith and Credit Clause, determining that since the judgment was valid in Pennsylvania, it must also be recognized in Maryland. The court found that the objections raised by Wernwag did not undermine the validity of the Pennsylvania judgment, as it was properly authenticated and met the necessary legal requirements.

The court applied the Full Faith and Credit Clause, determining that since the judgment was valid in Pennsylvania, it must also be recognized in Maryland.

Conclusion

JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
