[*] VAN DYKE against SPEER.
    ON CERTIORARI.
    The action below was brought on the following state of demand:
    “ This action is brought to recoyer ten dollars, agreeably to the sixth section of an act for the preservation of sheep, passed,” &c.
    There was judgment below for six dollars.
   By the Court.

There is no ground of action set out. The state of demand should have set out the facts on which the action was grounded, not merely the act which gave the action.

Kearney, for plaintiff.

Judgment reversed.
