California Supreme Court, 1875

Roberts v. Treadwell

Roberts v. Treadwell
California Supreme Court · Decided July 1, 1875
50 Cal. 520

Roberts v. Treadwell

Opinion of the Court

By the Court:

The complaint did not allege that the defendant had not paid the indebtedness, for the recovery of which this action was brought. It merely averred “that the whole thereof is now due.” This defect in the complaint was pointed out by a special demurrer, which was overruled. The insufficiency of the complaint in the respect indicated was adverted to in Frisch v. Caler (21 Cal. 71).

Judgment reversed and cause remanded.
