10 Del. 520

Counsel

Higgins {Spruanee with him), for the plaintiff,, G. JB. Rodney, for the defendant,

Deringer's Administrator v. Deringer's Administrator

Opinion of the Court

The Court,

however, ordered that the matter of set-off pleaded should be stated with more certainty and more in detail, as perhaps the money referred to might have been received in several amounts at various times and from several persons to and for the use alleged in it, in which case it might be important to the plaintiff to have both the several amounts and the several persons from whom they were received specified by the defendant before replying to such a plea. It might also have reference to and depend upon a mutual account of money transactions between the two decedents in their lifetime, and which still remain open and unsettled between their legal representatives.
