Burgin v. Riggins

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

We can perceive no legal objection to the plaintiff’s recovery on this special contract. The state of demand is not drawn in technical form, but that is not required. It substantially states that the plaintiff deposited in the defendants’s hands two notes of hand, on which the defendant promised to return them or pay the amount; that the plaintiff demanded the notes, and the defendant refused to deliver them, whereby the plaintiff suffered damages,

Judgment affirmed,
