Watertown Paper Co. v. West

It appears by the affidavit upon which this motion was made that this defendant has not answered or demurred or otherwise moved in reference to the complaint since the-same was served upon him. There is no allegation in the moving-papers that a bill of particulars is necessary to enablé the defendant to prepare his answer; and it is quite evident that it is not, as he can deny, either expressly pr upon information and belief, the-allegations contained in the complaint. We think, therefore, that this motion was prematurely made, aud that, at this stage of the-action, the facts necessary to be alleged and proved were not before the court to justify the granting of a bill of particulars.

The order should be reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements,, and the motion denied, with $10 costs.
