Des Moines Navigation & Railroad v. Doran
Supreme Court of Iowa · Decided July 1, 1857 · Woodward
4 Iowa 553

Des Moines Navigation & Railroad v. Doran

Opinion of the Court

Woodward, J.

The petition or declaration sets forth the particulars of the trespass, with the regularity and technicality o£ a declaration at common law, giving the day, and, laying the venue properly. The notice is sufficient. It need not be as full and specific as the petition. This one is as definite as seems to be required by the Code, Chap. 135.

The judgment of the District Court is reversed, and the cause is remanded.
