CASE on several assumpsits of nine particular sums, quæ quidem separales suamma attingunt at £. 52, which was more than the total sum really was. On a plea of the general issue, there was a verdict for the plaintiff. And

moved in arrest of judgment, this matter ut supra and also quod fæpius requisitus non solvit the £. 52. Nota that the jury only found £. 40 damage; which was less than the aggregate sum; and cited 5 £. 3. 14.

Opinion:
Jones, J.
It was a surplusage to cast up the particular sums. But if the request had been necessary, the declaration would have been bad.
