Head Matter:
DANSER v. BOYLE.
On Certiorari to Common Pleas on Appeal.
C. Cassedy,
moved for a reversal of this judgment, for the defects of the state of demand. A part of the charge was this, “ due on contract on exchange of horses, as difference thirty dollars.”
J. Miller, contra,
cited Penn. R. 386, Seely v. Myres; 2 Ib. 558, Cole v. Williams.
Cassedy, in reply,
cited 3 Holst. 57 ; 5 lb. 233.

Opinion:
By the Court.
That part of the demand charging for exchange of horses, should not be stated as matter of book account, as it is here: but should be specially set forth.
This defect is not cured by its being mingled with a correct charge of the book account.
Dayton, J.
This charge could not be pleaded in bar of another suit.
Judgment reversed.
