50 Cal. 298; 1875 Cal. LEXIS 149

Mayor of Los Angeles v. Signoret

Opinion of the Court

By the Court:

Several matters of substance are lacking in the averments found in the complaint, which are sought to be supplied only by reference to the recitals found in an-exhibit annexed to the complaint—“and to which (exhibit) for all particular allegations therein contained, reference is hereby made,” etc. This is not sufficient in pleading.

Judgment reversed and cause remanded, with directions to sustain the demurrer to the complaint.
