Hagerman v. Titus
Supreme Court of New Jersey · Decided February 15, 1807
3 N.J.L. 164
Hagerman v. Titus

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

— It hath been repeatedly decided that the copy of account or state of demand, delivered the justice, must set out the particular items of the account, that the defendant may be apprised of the nature of the demand against him; merely charging the defendant with an unsettled balance, is too vague and uncertain. — Judgment reversed.
