Connecticut Superior Court · decided 1786-08-15

This was an action of debt on bond; tbe declaration in common form. Mr. Ingersol prayed oyer of tbe bond, wbicb be recited at large in bis plea, and concluded by demurring to tbe declaration. Tbe bond appeared to have been taken to tbe plaintiff, in tbe capacity of constable of tbe town of Ridgefield.

Decided 1786-08-15

By the whole Court.

¶1Eor aught that appears from the declaration, a good and sufficient bond is declared upon, and well described; and if the defendants would avail themselves of any variance "between the bond declared upon and that shown upon oyer, they should have taken advantage of it by plea in abatement, or demurrer to the evidence; the declaration, therefore, adjudged sufficient.

¶2Note.— This adjudication is opposed to the English practice. See 2 Wilson’s Reports, 339, Turner v. Vaughan.
