Head Matter:
HAGERMAN against TITUS. [120]
ON’ CERTIORARI.
“ To amount of accounts unsettled, $100,” insufficient state of demand.
The state of demand, filed before the justice, was as follows :
It was objected against this state of demand, that it was too uncertain.

Opinion:
By the Court.
— It hath been repeatedly decided that the copy of account or state of demand, delivered the justice, must set out the particular items of the account, that the defendant may be apprised of the nature of the demand against him; merely charging the defendant with an unsettled balance, is too vague and uncertain.
Judgment reversed.
