Bassett, C. J.,
gave no opinion on the motion, he having drawn the declaration, but he charged the jury (which see in my notes) 1
Johns, J.
We overrule the reasons in arrest of judgment. The verdict certainly cures the defect, for it is only ambiguity; *139if the points are changed, the sense will be altered. Cowp. 826. Though the verdict will not aid the want of a matter of fact not laid, yet it will cure matter of form.
Rodney, J., accordant.
Judgment final.
