Head Matter:
Wheaton against Slosson.
In an action of assumpsit, the venue will not be changed on the general affidavit, v
Ten Broeck moved to change the venue, on an affidavit, that the cause of action arose out of the county.
Emott,
contra, objected, that this being an action for money had and received, a general affidavit was not sufficient.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
It has already been decided, that in assumpsit, where the count is general, the court will never change the venue on a general- affidavit. To entitle the defendant to prevail in his motion, the affidavit must be special, that is, it must state, that the defendant has reason to believe, that special matter is intended to be given in evidence, enumerate the particulars, and declare that it arose in the county to which he would remove the cause, and not elsewhere.
Motion denied.( )
