Reading v. Hickman
Reading v. Hickman
Opinion of the Court
The three first errors assigned may be considered together; they are in substance that there is a variance between the writ and declaration; the writ is sued out in the plaintiff’s own name, and not as assignee, and the declaration is as assignee of Robert M’Connel. This variance is conceived not material on the authority of the cases, Lloyd qui tam v. Williams, 2 Black. Rep. 722. The Weaver’s Company qui tam v. Forrest, 2 Stra. 1232, and the note to the case of Canning v. Davis, 4 Burr. 2418.
The fourth error is deemed immaterial, as there has been no proceeding against the bail.
The first part of the fifth error, from the manner in which it is assigned, is an error of fact, which can not be regarded by the court in this case, and the latter part of this error is not well founded, because it is stated in the declaration (though not by way of averment) that the debt remained due and unpaid to Robert
