Lawrence v. Clark.
In an action of indebitatus assumpsit for money liad and received by tbe defendant, it is not necessary to- say of whom it was received. • ¡ <
Indebitatus Assumpsit for money bad and received; declaring, that on or about tbe 13th of December A. D. 1Y89, tbe defendant became indebted to tbe plaintiff in tbe sum of £193 12s. 6d. money of Few York, for so much money bad and received for tbe use of tbe plaintiff, and to pay over to her, and being so indebted, etc. be assumed and promised, etc. Demurrer to tbe declaration.
Tbe only exception taken was — That tbe declaration was too general, in that it did not point out of whom or by whose bands tbe money was received, whereby tbe defendant could know bow to make defense.

Opinion:
Judgment — That tbe declaration is sufficient. This is according to the forms of declaring in actions of indebitatus assumpsit generally, for money bad and received.
