Columbia,
    
      November Term, 1815.
    John Hughes vs. Wade Hampton.
    Case for Medical Attendance, &c.
    g-es in a ' clan’s mu mus1;ke specific, not loose eral,
   Smith, J.

The charges were general ones for medicine and attendance. One item was, u 13 dollars for medicine and attendance on one of the general’s ° daughters, in curing the whooping cough.” The new trial is asked for, on the ground that the plaintiff ought to have given a specific bill of the medicine and attendance. I did think otherwise on hearing this ease j but on mature consideration I think the char-Ses were too general, and am, therefore, for grant" ing a new trial.

Justices Grimke, Nott, and Brevard concurred.

Colcock and Bay dissented.
