Shrock v. Bowden
Shrock v. Bowden
Opinion of the Court
Opinion of the court by
This was an action of assumpsit in the usual form, upon a promissory note. Judgment was entered against the appellants by default, in the court below. There are several errors assigned, but it is not deemed necessary to notice any except the following:
First. It is assigned as error that there is a material variance between the contract described in the endorsement on the writ, and that set forth in the declaration. The endorsement stating the note to be due on the 1st of March, 1837, and the declaration, describing it to be due on the 1st of March, 1835. The objection is undoubtedly a valid one, and must have been fatal to the appellees if it had been taken in the proper form, by plea in abatement or special demurrer, in the court below. But it cannot be taken in this court, after a judgment by default in the inferior court. It is cured by the statute of Jeofails. It is also assigned as error, that the endorsement on the writ does not state, as it should do, the
Let the judgment be affirmed.
