Purdy v. Warden
Purdy v. Warden
18 Wend. 352
Opinion of the Court
By the Court,
[672] Where the bill is clearly evasive, the defendant may apply for judgment of non-pros ; but if it appear to have been made in good faith, although the defendant may not be satisfied with it, he should not ask for judgment of non-pros, but ought to apply to the judge who made the original order, for an order for better particulars. The bill in this case is sufficient, and the motion must be denied.
