FORD against HILL.
    OB' OEETIOBABI.
    Hill sued Ford before the justice; and set out in his state of demand, an agreement to work for Ford one year, for two hundred dollars; and avers [+] performance on his part; and that the defendant had neglected and refused to fulfil the agreement on his part; by reason whereof, the plaintiff stated that he had a just and fair demand of one hundred dollars, and for which he brought suit.
    
      
      8. Ogden, attorney for plaintiff.
   By the Court.

The plaintiff set out a legal state of demand for $200 on a written agreement, with all the requisites to entitle him to recover $200, which he said entitled him to $100, and he did not demand more. We do not think this regular; if thp defendant had a set-off, the plaintiff should have given him credit for it, and struck a balance.

Judgment reversed.
