Ohio Supreme Court · Decided December 15, 1834
1 Wright 762; 1 Ohio Ch. 762

Gardiner v. M'Dowell's Administrator

Opinion of the Court

BY THE COURT.

The declaration says in words, the said note was endorsed to M’Dowell; that is sufficient after verdict. The want ■of an ad damnum in the writ, if of any importance, is cured. The endorsement on the writ shows what the suit is for; the defendant appeared in court and obtained his discharge on common bail, and should then have raised the objection to the form of the writ. ■Omitting to do so then, he waives the objection, and the plaintiff claiming damages in his declaration, supplies the defect. The ^omission to enter a technical appearance in our practice is of [763 no consequence.

The judgment is affirmed, with costs.
