Head Matter:
DIXON against CORY.
on CERTIORARI.
.Cory sued Dixon before the justice, on an account. The principal item in his account delivered the justice, was for lump work.
8. Soudder
moved to reverse this judgment, on the ground that lump work was insensible, and had [*] not any meaning capable of legal interpretation; and at least was no more than sundries.

Opinion:
By the Court.
The phrase, lump work is well understood in the country, and is the same as job work. But it is too indefinite. The work done by the job, should be set out. Such as building a house; finishing a room; or whatever the work done, was.
Judgment reversed.
