Per. Curiam.

To obtain an issue in this case it was not sufficient to aver that material facts were in. dispute ; the affidavit must go further, β€œand set forth the nature and character thereof.”. It is not sufficient to aver in general terms, that certain sums specified were not. due on .either of the mortgages. The ,,time and manner of payment must be averred with reasonable certainty.
