Johnson v. Johnson

Supreme Court of New Jersey
Johnson v. Johnson, 2 N.J.L. 138 (N.J. 1806)

Johnson v. Johnson

Opinion

State of demand insensible. No judgment, proceedings null.

The reason relied on for the reversal of the judgment of the justice, is as follows, to wit: Because the state of the demand filed by the plaintiff before the justice, [102] is insensible, and contains no cause of action. The state of demand is as follows:

[f] There was a jury trial and verdict for the plaintiff below, for twenty dollars; but no judgment rendered. The court were of opinion, that the state of demand was too uncertain, to render a judgment on; and, therefore, set aside and made null and void the proceedings.
