Newcomb v. Davis
Supreme Court of New Jersey
Newcomb v. Davis, 2 N.J.L. 82 (N.J. 1806)
Kirkpatrick, Pennington
Newcomb v. Davis
Opinion of the Court
— This proceeding is altogether erroneous. The state of demand filed, does not contain a lawful ground of action. The judgment itself, too, is entered in figures and not in words at length, and this is assigned as a reason of reversal. According to the opinion of Cole and Petty.
I think this judgment must be reversed.
Rossell, J. — Concurred.
— This judgment being entered hi figures brings this case within that of Cole v. Petty, but [61] this is the least error in the proceedings; out of five separate and distinct charges for damages, there is not a single legal cause of action stated. I concur in the reversal.
Judgment reversed.
Ante, *60. — Ed.
