    A state of demand, consisting of the following charge, viz: “ To amount of goods received,” is illegal.
    
      Mary McClellan obtained a judgment against Israel Evans, before a justice of the peace, in an action of debt? upon the following state of demand :
    Israel Evans to Mary McClellan, Dr.
    September 29th, 1829. To amount of goods received, $1.28.
    Evans brought a certiorari, and by 8. R. Hamilton, assigned as a reason for the reversal of this judgment, that the state of demand was indefinite and illegal.
   Per Curiam.

The state of demand is insufficient.

Let the judgment be reversed.
