Saunders v. Pendleton
Supreme Court of Rhode Island · Decided November 22, 1895 · PER CURIAM.
33 A. 222; 19 R.I. 292; 1895 R.I. LEXIS 101

Saunders v. Pendleton

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The court is of the opinion that though the declaration is technically defective in form, it contains a substantial statement of the plaintiff’s cause of action, and that the defendant’s motion to dismiss, after having pleaded the general issue, comes too late and should not have been granted.

Plaintiff’s petition for a new trial granted, and case remitted to the Common Pleas Division for further proceedings.
